Eddie - I generally try and retain as much as possible, especially with TPM, which as you said yourself can easily get edited down significantly shorter than all the other SW movies if you’re not careful. So anywhere it could theoretically be retained, I’m trying to probe for a way to do it (then, people have greater flexibility with what changes they want to include, and how much of the runtime it bites out of the movie). I agree that the scenes are hardly necessary, especially in this new version of events.

Eddie again - I think a different line would have to go before “That won’t be necessary,” since leaving it to Jar Jar is what he just asked Jar Jar to do. Other than that, I can’t wait to see this cut together, I can’t believe how well it all fits.

Omni - That’s a great idea.
