Awesome @EddieDean!

Constructive feedback time (reminder: I never was able to get past these first episodes):

Already, I like the tightening. When SW is at it’s best, it is TIGHT with very little fluff. The plot moves, the action moves, the character development moves – everything serves a larger purpose, from cinematography to dialogue to action. I think any edit must ask the question: “Is this [set piece/dialogue/shot/etc] absolutely critical in delivering a must-watch SW experience?”
That said, the clip provided can be trimmed further, I think. Or at least reshuffled (of course, saying all this without seeing the whole episode). For example, the transition between Ventress leaving OWK and AS post-fight using the circular swipe led me to believe we were leaving the two Jedi for some amount of time, filled by what surely was to be action/plot/dialogue/etc with another set of characters. Instead, we are instantly back with OWK and AS at what seems to be possibly hours later, ready and prepped to tackle the Separatist Army. To my untrained eye, this doesn’t actually feel like a super critical scene, and from what I gather, seems to be the beginning of a separate episode’s expository introduction. I think less could be more by perhaps using that circular swipe to go right to the next scene, with establishing space shot followed by Yoda and MW addressing the admiral on the ship. The surrounding dialogue explaining a lack of contact with OWK and AS still makes sense, and keeps the pacing a bit more tight and tense: OWK and AS are off to see what Ventress is talking about exactly, and as the watcher, we don’t know how dire the situation is. It keeps everyone on their toes.

Anyway, that’s just one example of how tightening might be used to stronger effect for the benefit of the whole.

Personal gripe time: I absolutely hate PT droids. Their talking just fully takes me out of the story. Their antics aren’t funny, don’t add anything to the plot, and for the most part, really diminish any sort of menace or threat. Have you given any thought to removing all their dialogue in favor of what other fan edits have proposed – that they are all on the same network anyway and don’t require vocalization to communicate?

That’s it for now. THANKS FOR THIS!
