Thanks, I think I will. Sorry I haven’t been active on this forum for a year. That’s what happens when you have tons of other things to do. As for Anakin, he will be completely replaced with a new actor with completely new lines. Jar Jar is staying, but I will do everything to make sure he’s nothing like the Jar Jar of the original film.
Welcome back! I hope you finish your edit. I know real life can be a big issue when it comes to stuff like this.
A lot of stuff on your editing list sounds promising, but some of it is way too ambitious. Stuff like hiring a new actor for Anakin or replacing all CGI with practical effects would likely cost millions of dollars. You might want to rein in your ambitions a little bit. Focus on the stuff you can accomplish right now, then go from there.
