Hey, that is quite cool! I really liked the improved tie-in to the OT, and the training of Anakin was great. I like skipping the young Anakin.
However I think you have FAR too much material for one film. Don't they talk about 3 acts? In that case you've got twice as much as you need. In general I would not be introducing new characters later in the story either, except perhaps you could get away with the Sith as mysterious characters to be fleshed out later.

When you say 'later in the story', are you talking about the whole trilogy or just this episode? Pretty much all the characters that I will be using in this PT have been introduced in EPI. Yes, 3 acts is normal, but I don't have twice as much as I need (besides, if I wanted it to be 3 acts, all I'd have to do is re-title each scene under 3 acts instead of 5). I needed to put everything in place to get Anakin trained, the Clone Wars going by EPII, Palpatine as Supreme Chancellor, and to begin the relationship between Padme and Anakin.
Anyway, read my EPII.
