Love the changelist. Moving Kashyyyk earlier is a fun idea and it does make ‘the droid attack on the Wookiees’ less left field. It’s a shame there’s so little appropriate material in the Anakin vs. Obi-Wan pre-fight conversation that you have to resort to videogame lines. I wonder if Lucas filmed anything else or if he always had their whole argument mostly focused on politics. This script (I don’t know if it’s legit) has some fun extra dialogue during their fight:

ANAKIN: Don’t make me destroy you, Master. You’re no match for the dark side.
OBI-WAN: I’ve heard that before, Anakin . . . but I never thought I’d hear it from you.

It’s not great, is it?

OBI-WAN: (continuing) The flaw of power is arrogance.
ANAKIN: You hesitate . . . the flaw of compassion.

OBI-WAN: I have failed you, Anakin. I was never able to teach you to think.
ANAKIN: I should have known the Jedi were plotting to take over . . .
OBI-WAN: From the Sith!!! Anakin, Chancellor Palpatine is evil.
ANAKIN: From the Jedi point of view! From my point of view, the Jedi are evil.
OBI-WAN: Well, then you are lost!
ANAKIN: This is the end for you, My Master. I wish it were otherwise.

But the only lines before the fight are these, which I’m glad were cut:

ANAKIN: Is Obi-Wan going to protect you? He can’t … he can’t help you. He’s not strong enough.

and

ANAKIN: What have you and she been up to?

Sometimes I consider attempting to find a really good voice actor who can do a good Hayden impersonation…
