I’m not sure where I said that Jango wasn’t on Geonosis.Sorry, I meant to write “doesn’t die on Geonosis” and got lost in the train of thought.
My only concern is that Mace Windu’s entrance might be needed. Having just a bunch of random jedi appear out of nowhere seems a little vague and hard to follow.
You’re right, I had completely forgotten of Mace’s entrance. First thing that comes to mind would be removing Jango from the shot to be replaced by one of the neimoidians, but I don’t know how feasible (or worthwhile) that is to the scope of the edit.
I’m having the same train of thought. I’m not a CGI expert, so I really wouldn’t know how to replace Jango if I tried.
I have been entertaining the idea of getting rid of Obi-Wan’s visitation with Jango. This would mean that Jango attacks Obi-Wan on Kamino, most likely because he’s trying to assassinate him. It would also mean that Jango is allied with the separatists (which works for my edit). But it comes with a big drawback. My edit has Zamm muttering “Bounty hunter… From Kamino… Called…” before she (or it) dies. I did this to get Obi-Wan to Kamino sooner rather than later, since I believe that less is more, but I would have to change it to the theatrical version again if I made that call. This would mean I would have to bring up the archives scene where Obi-Wan can’t find his planet (a scene I never liked since it goes nowhere), and I would have to bring back Dexter Jettster (ugh). So I’m kind of in a bind with this. I’ll give it some more thought while I’m celebrating Christmas.
