Lots to do but a look at some updates. Diplomatic tv, de-aged Dooku at council and pyre, added saber flicker to all sabers, Sidious and the younglings, and changed saber clash look. Still experimenting with color grading on various scenes, like ATOC arena (trying to get a more natural look, but also trying to bring out the darker tones other than just upping the black levels.). I also added a glow to sith eyes and experimenting with a build up of energy in Old Seev before he fires his lightening. Also greyed his skin some and sharpened his wrinkles some. Not really working on the other two right now, just scenes that appear in the trailer for conceptual purposes.

First of all, nice concepts that you got for these specific scenes.
De-Aged Dooku looks good, palps sith eyes very nice (a bit to bright in my opinion), awesome space shot of Naboo with the city lights (but what is the greenish glow?).
The explosions at 1:31 are inadequate, meaning it doesn’t fit to the rest of the scene it feels very c-edited. But I assume you’ll be working on that.
Personally I don’t like the approach with the „building up energy in his face and eyes when shooting“, stands out to much.

I’m looking forward to your project:)

Thank you.
Sith eyes will be reduced some, and then i wanted to make the energy build up much more subtle too. If it still isn’t getting traction with folks then ill probably cut it, just an idea i wanted to try.
The green glow on Naboo in the opening shot (Only time its there in the film) is the aurora/ northern lights. I tried to make it look like video from the space station. Though i still want to tweak the planet, especially its edges and glow to look more Star Wars like.
The whole attack on Theed and rescuing of the queen is still being worked on, both the explosions, smoke speeds and looks, fire/ruble damage, color grading, etc. Theres still new scenes that will be included hopefully too with dog fighting in the sky with fighter jets.
Theres masking or tracking done in the movie too that will be redone, as ive learned better techniques.
Still need to get the flare plug in to redo a lot of the flares. I just recently added in the saber flicker and have been tweaking the sabers masking/glow gradually too.

I try to update ideas and things im trying in the trailers to get feed back on the look of things. So expect lots more tweaking, and feel free to give input.
