I wish I could get the uppercase ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC all on one line, but no amount of formatting is really going to make that look right.
Yeah I know, it is only possible with a rewrite, but as I said, the final result looked no where near as bad as I thought it would.
I simply thought of the 'returning' as a reference to the events in TPM, but it also makes sense that as the Senator she would regularly visit Coruscant.

I think it should be remembered this is an edit by Trooperman -- he will do what he wants. We can all bitch if we want, but then it becomes time to do our own edit.

In the last variant where I posted about Padme being the acting senator I also changed the word "returning" to "traveling." I wanted to know what the general feeling was on that. I mean, if you say returning, the question is from where. Well, you can say she's returning from Naboo...but why would you say returning? Did she recently leave and now she is coming back? Or is Coruscant her home? See, it doesn't make as much sense to say returning or returns. TM did have "en route," and while it conveys the idea, I agree that it is a bit clumsy to use in a title crawl. So, if someone could think of a word like "traveling" or a synonym that would be great.
I just looked at the official ep. II crawl and it does the same thing with the word "returning;" it isn't given any sort of context. I thought I remembered seeing the official crawl saying something about Padme returning for the first time in ten years, but after I looked at it I realized I was thinking of the Clone War by MagnoliaFan. He was first person to use the word "returning" and have it actually mean something!

But it should also be remembered that Trooperman has asked for opinions on his edits, so presumably this edit is not ONLY for him, but also for the enjoyment of others (quite noble, I think I personally wouldn't care too greatly what others thought of any edits I ended up doing). The added bonus for Trooperman is he may end up with an edit that pleases him better than one based only off his own ideas. Of what little I've read in this thread I really haven't seen anyone 'bitch' about what they want.[/edit]
