I wanted to try something suggested in this lovely article:

It would have been more dramatically satisfying if Obi-Wan reports these suspicions to the Council only for them to do nothing and have Obi-Wan be frustrated by it. Have Anakin’s crisis of faith be paralleled by one for Obi-Wan only to have them arrive at different places – Anakin turning away from the Jedi while Obi-Wan stays loyal even amidst their failure.

Obi-Wan, after speaking with Jango, goes to report his findings to the council:

(The dialogue at the start is hard to hear. Oops!)

Using dialogue from Battlefront, Obi-Wan comes off as a little less dry. He’s frustrated and ready to take on the challenge without the backing of the Council. I’ve also removed as many ‘clunky’ lines as I possibly could.

There’s also some re-scoring that I’ve been toying around with. I hate the music in the original ‘I must go, Padme’ scene, so I thought this track might fit better.
