On this:
"Replaced scene with Windu hearing that Obi-Wan has engaged Grievous with deleted scene “A Plot to Destroy the Jedi” earlier in the film. (V6 repositions this scene immediately prior to Anakin missing the briefing, up from right before Anakin’s appointment to the Council as in prior versions of this fan edit.)”

I was just wondering what your justification was? With the more political angel of LOE (which I love btw), it makes a lot of sense to have the Jedi express doubt about the Chancellor nice and early, but for Yoda to say “Moving to take control of the Jedi Council the Chancellor is” without anything having happened yet in that regard, feels very strange. To me it feels quite confusing - bit of a ‘huh?’ moment. Like yeah we’ve seen Palpatine get Anakin to kill Dooku, but beyond that, for the audience, he hasn’t done any political scheming yet, let alone to do with the Jedi Council. I haven’t watched the theatrical RotS for a few years so hopefully I’m not too tainted with expectations, but I felt like I had missed some crucial information there.
