I’m really excited for the next version of this. Pretty much every idea that has been discussed for it sounds great. I love the “your Padawan” bit and what you’ve done to enhance Padme as a decisive character.

One major thing I think that needs to be addressed, in light of TCW S7E2 is Padme’s pregnancy.

Two aspects of it are the timeline, and her (lack of) knowledge that she’s carrying twins.

Timeline:
S7E2, part of the “Outer Rim Sieges” which has kept Anakin away “forever”, clearly shows a pregnant Padme. In the holo convo she knows she’s pregnant and their is no way Anakin doesn’t know at that point.

Their reunion scene at the top of RotS needs to lose Padme saying she’s pregnant and Anakin saying this is the happiest day of his life.

I would love to see an attempt to edit Natalie & Hayden’s lines, borrowing from other scenes, to have Anakin say “You’re trembling? How are the babies?”

And she can reply that they’re fine, that she’s trembling because she heard “whispers you had died.”

The “blinded by love” scene needs to lose the bit about going to naboo early to fit the new timeline.

Twins:
This might be trickier cus Anakin & Padme say “the baby” a lot, but I think it is necessary because there is no freaking way that with all the tech she has access to that she doesn’t know she’s carrying twins.

And then in the scene in her apartment where they are discussing the consequences of the pregnancy Padme says “this baby will change everything. I doubt the queen will let me continue to serve as senator and if the Jedi council finds out you’re the father…”

This line, and every implication that Padme being an unmarried senator/single mother is taboo should go.

I think her line should be edited to something like this:
“This will change everything. If the Jedi Council finds out you’re the father…”

I can do some rough proof-of-concepts and try and upload them.

Have you toyed with adding back Anakin’s “Save Me!” When he’s burning?

Also, I actually would really love to see RotS cut into episodes of TCW 😃

Finally,
And are you using Hal’s alternate ending?
