Just a little suggestion: my “Keepers of the peace” AOTC edit had its problems, but I always liked one small change. Anakin and Padmé’s relationship need to be built. I’d like to have them kiss for the first time on Geonosis, before the arena sequence.
So here you could cut just frames before they actually kiss and then interrupt it. Then have Padmé say: “No. I shouldn’t have done that”. It makes their actual kiss way more “satisfying” later.
I feel like that works backwards to the point. Makes more sense to me to re-arrange their scenes so they are shown to be together for a couple days before this kiss by the lake. It is, just a kiss. The bait, but not the hook and sinker. As her telling him she’s in love with him before the battle and getting married after is what solidifies that.
You’re pushing their first kiss and their marriage that much closer together and leaving less time. Just my thoughts
