This was very enjoyable, and I have few criticisms outside of some minor quibbles. Namely, some of the transitions: I think you had left the establishing shot of the Senate before cutting back to TCW, after which then goes to the interior of the Senate with Palpatine at his post. Also things like Obi saying “who could have done this?” which would then normally cut to Anakin killing the separatists, now cuts to Asokha. Not exactly a mistake, but a removal the visual dovetail that existed in the base film. Sometimes the score contradicts itself during some transitions. However other times the transitions are seamless and I genuinely was caught off guard when the film had switched tracks, so to speak.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and criticisms. I admit there are few hiccups and choppy transitions along the movie which may disturb the the flow thematically. I did struggled a bit on where to fit each scene seamlessly as there was no clear cut chronological order towards the end the movie (not that I know of). As this is my first experience in editing, I’m hoping to improve further in my future version of the edit.
I think it is made better as a text with the inclusion of the TCW characters, the humanization of the clones through Rex and the pacifism displayed by Asokha that the jedi dogma keenly disregard in adjacent scenes. Darth Maul’s presence also helps tie the film back to the first episode thematically.
What would really bring it together is a companion fan edit that makes AOTC & the preceding necessary TCW episodes two acts of one movie.
This will need a whole new supercut.😉
