I’ll say again that it is an exceptional edit that combines the best from past edits. Your prequel trilogy really is the “goldilocks” best of all worlds approach. It is “just right”, neither being too conservative, nor too heavy-handed. More people need to check this out.

I’ve watched your latest edit twice now, and I have only a few comments. Something that seems inconsistent with your prior edits is the droids. They are nearly silent in your edits of TPM and AotC, but a lot of their hapless, slapstick dialogue is included in RotS. Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE the droid humor and have really come to embrace it (The Village Bride had it, and it made me happy), but again, I wonder if it reflects an inconsistency.

On the decapitation of Dooku, I think you’ve got the right idea, but I wonder if I can’t be tightened up a bit. Anakin holds the lightsabers to Dooku’s neck for I think about seven seconds, and you’re left wondering what the hold up is. It just seems a little drawn out.

I agree with all the cuts, generally speaking. I would say, however, that some of the audio might need a little finessing in places to make it truly seamless. I’ll add that I’m noticing this mostly with your most recent cuts. Sometimes the music doesn’t sound right, or one line of dialogue doesn’t transition well to the next (sometimes it’s the volume, and sometimes it’s the timing). There also seems to be a small audio glitch when C3P0 is reacting to Bail Organa saying to wipe his memory.

These are all very minor. Just some observations while watching the last couple of times.
