Included a shot from the “Mock up” love scene, plus also a shot from my old Machete Cut, in which there is a lil blood when Anakin takes Dooku’s head.

This is what a more mature Star Wars could be like.

Which for some may like, as before ROTJ, Star Wars wasn’t cutesy yet.

This isn’t what the focus was, but I really like the image of Mace Windu confronting Palpatine by himself. It’s some good rotoscoping.
1). It looks cinematic, like an old western duel
2). It makes Mace seems cocky, as if he’s going to fight Palpatine without telling anyone else beforehand
3). It makes the other Jedi less of a joke when they are beaten by Palpatine’s very simple initial moves

Thank you 😃 I think the original idea was something Ady had planned for the prequels but i only ever saw a still image for an example. I loved the idea so much tho that it became one of the first things i attempted to pull off. Also that if i could pull it off that i would go ahead and edit the rest. So im really happy to hear that it came out looking good and narratively fits the story and mood. Allowing Mace to be the “Bad @ss mother f*cker” he deserves. ( i like to imagine he carries a wallet for proof too ) I wish Mace had gotten more screen time, i always really liked him.
