This is cool! I like the idea of each film starting out with a Star Destroyer in the first scene (not sure how that would fit with TPM). So what exactly would the first scene in this alternate version of the film be?
The Destroyer would be scanning planets for anything that could be a Separatist base. It eventually, of course, finds a signal on Geonosis. Just as it’s about to send a positive transmission to Coruscant it gets blown up by Separatist mines or something. Obi-Wan would later be sent to investigate, and the rest of the movie happens.
