It’s too bad the extended talk about Dooku between Obi-Wan and Jocasta Nu didn’t have finished VFX, as you said in your commentary, Hal.
I wish someone would finish it. In the theatrical, we go from namedropping Dooku in the opening crawl, to radio silence, and then he shows up at the end with no real context to his character. That 30 seconds in the middle of the film are so important, and it got cut in favour of what - droid factory antics or something.
After you said this I searched in youtube for it, and I found someone who restored the scene. He skipped the part where Jocasta mentions that Dooku was a jedi, but maybe with a couple of edit, the line could be properly reintroduced in the shots he restored:

EDIT: He restored only a few parts, but as I said, through editing the most important bits of information that Jocasta and Obi-Wan said could be dropped in the edit, during the zoom in Dooku’s sculpted face. This video also restored the scene partially:
