Also, does the ‘Meeting With Palpatine’ scene with Mace and Padme need to be the second scene in the movie? Can we go straight from the first assassination attempt to the apartment scene? All the Palpatine scene serves is to establish some political context for the movie, which we don’t need right away.
Here’s my proposed structure:
Crawl
First Attempt
Apartment
Bounty Hunter Chase
Jedi Council
Palpatine Meeting
Packing
etc.
