Very good episode. I still did go through it again myself though and made a series of tiny trims totaling about 2 minutes. All are pretty nitpicky. Specifics are below, and the file I created is available at the link I previously sent you via PM. As always, feel free to incorporate or mimic anything you like.
-
Trimmed the traitor’s early line about coming across as defensive
-
Trimmed out awkward pauses in Satine’s rooftop greeting to ObiWan
-
Trimmed rooftop mention of Death Watch being on Concordia, as this gets implied/mentioned three separate times, which is a lot for something mysterious
-
Trimmed “weak” from “weak, peace-loving government” in the talk w Dooku
-
Trimmed the governor’s random reminder of the idea that Satine is trying to ally with the Separatists. I get that he’s trying to undermine her and say he knows why ObiWan is there, but it feels random and irrelevant.
-
Trimmed ObiWan repeating to the governor that the man who bombed the shrine was a member of Death Watch.
-
Trimmed ObiWan’s semi-correction that he’s hoping to confirm that the mines aren’t operational.
-
Trimmed the warrior’s line about not respecting Satine and jumped straight to him shooting the lightsaber out of ObiWan’s hand.
-
Trimmed ObiWan’s line about Satine having not changed when she says “but you weren’t [killed back there].”
-
Trimmed Satine’s line on the platform about having hoped that ObiWan of all people would have understood her position. Instead, she offers a more direct rebuke of what he’s saying.
-
Trimmed the first elevator interchange about ObiWan having known Satine previously.
-
Adjusted the timing and volume of the loud door closing sound after ObiWan and Anakin enter the audience chamber.
-
Trimmed the line about it being weird that Artoo is scanning a lot (at least I think that’s what was said). Now the trooper reports Artoo acting strange and two men missing.
-
Trimmed another awkward moment where Anakin asks about ObiWan and Satine in the middle of trying to help. I understand the teasing but it seems a very unhelpful time for it.
-
Tightened up dialogue around the standoff with the advisor to make it a little less corny.
-
Trimmed Anakin’s final “What was that about?” because he knows and we all know he knows. He still has the line about Satine being a special lady.
