Thanks, DominicCobb. I just looked up your clip and I think that should work pretty well.

Mala, let me take each of those in turn:

Obi-Wan jumping out of cockpit. It’ll probably stay out, since its so cartoony. I think it’d only be missed due to having already been familiar with the original.
I think I edited the elevator sequence like that but felt it was too abrupt without something to cut away to in between.
Balcony scene. Well… I suppose the balcony scene could work. It would be a way to include a very subtle appearance of the necklace, and enhance the tragic aspects of Anakin’s story. It would come at the cost of slightly undercutting a powerful cut from Palpatine’s “…a new apprentice…” to Anakin’s nightmare. I’ll think about this one, but it might be a good idea if I reinstate the necklace in Episode I to let that scene feel solid.
Opera scene. Sure, why not. Lucas gets back in. I can’t remember why I removed it, but it was probably just because I could. That’s a theme throughout this V4.3. 😉
Apartment scene. I don’t know. I mean, I’m not sure where else the third rebellion deleted scene would go and that scene’s second half would have to be removed anyway. I think it’ll need to remain out.
Boga and Grievous. As much as I like Kerr’s edit I think mine will stay as it is in this regard.
Palpatine still alludes to Anakin’s fear about Padme, capitalizing on (maybe) planting nightmares and stoking them. What’s important is that Anakin doesn’t mention it to his friends, or even Palpatine in his pledge scene. By removing Palpatine’s mention of Padme in this earlier scene, I think we risk muddying the waters too much.
I think it’d feel abrupt to remove that much of Mace and Anakin’s conversation over Palpatine. This dialogue lets us see ‘principle photography Anakin’ advocate for his idea of justice before acting on it.
I can’t quite picture the scene well enough without having it in front of me, but I will experiment with removing he lines about the senators. I agree with you in principle; just need to see if it can work practically.
Not sure how well it would play to have just the first shot of killings in the Temple and a closeup of Anakin. I will play with this. Maybe it would work being placed between Padme crying and Bail arriving there.
“YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE.” I’m open to persuasion on this point, though I like omitting it in order to keep things personal, and I’ll likely keep it that way.
Removing Mace’s “…putting them together.” Hmm… not sure what the payoff to this would be, or a reason not to. I’ll try it and see how it does. Might do it.
Padme will still name both kids, since this is a prequel.
