I got halfway through your first cut, but I would like to see your second one too Dom.
Sure thing. I hope there were reasons you didn’t make it all the way through that don’t have anything to do with the quality of the edit!
I did have a question about the first cut as well. If I’m not mistaken, I noticed that you had reordered a number of scenes between the Chancellor rescue and Anakin’s turn. I was wondering if you would care to elaborate on your motivation to move around some scenes (either in this thread or in a private message).
Yes I did, mostly going off L8wrtr’s reordering though with some additional heavy borrowing from Hal. The main idea being to put emphasis on Anakin’s relationship with Palpatine. With the big change of putting the Plagueis convo upfront, we’re getting Palpatine is the first and best solution to Anakin’s problem that he’s hearing. After that, hearing the Jedi method from Yoda (basically do nothing and get over it), doesn’t sit well with him. Everything that happens after on goes further to put Anakin on Palpatine’s side and against the Jedi.
I could go more in depth but I’m weary of boring people.
