I like the scene but you’d have to cut some of the banter between Grievous and Anakin/Kenobi when they get captured.
“You’re shorter than I expected!”
“What? Did you already forget what I looked like from fifteen minutes ago when I executed Shaak Ti?”It also obviously precludes you from implementing the scene where Anakin kills Shaak Ti. That scene does have the problem of suggesting Shaak Ti doesn’t sense any of Order 66 going on around her, though, and requires some not insignificant AE work to clean it up.
I think the height joke works as a snappy comeback to Grevious’ age joke. I don’t think I’d cut it.
And as much as I’d like to use some portion of the 2nd Shaak Ti death (namely the 2nd part of him walking through the Jedi Temple carnage) it’s way too unfinished to work at all.
Here’s my own version of the 1st Shaak Ti death, I didn’t trim as much, just the reference to them landing as it fixes the continuity.
I was thinking about putting the Shaak Ti scene like this instead but I have no idea if it’d work
CURRENT
Jedi in hanger -> Shaak Ti Death -> Grevious on bridge (trimmed) -> Elevator
NEW
Jedi in the hanger -> Grevious on bridge (uncut) -> Shaak Ti death -> Elevator
It would remove the need to cut the references to the Jedi landing, and is also how the shooting script is structured too. Unsure if the two scene would work back to back cause of the shots, but I’ll test that too
