The anti-slavery thing does make more sense than what we had. I did like that there were hints that the Clone Wars were a little more ambiguous and less black and white than the American Civil War, but it’s not like the original portrayed the Separatists as anything other than evil either. You still have the ambiguity of putting Palpatine in the place of Abraham Lincoln lol
I really like your ideas. I prefer edits that change the movie’s structure and plot over ones that just tweak whatever the individual editor doesn’t like.
