Summary of what I would do if I had the time and expertise:
*Cut opening youngling sequence, too obvious and doesn’t focus enough on the main character
*Linger on Obi Wan in the desert, the NFB thing is obviously good
*Have the inquisitors on Tatooine with some minor cuts, mainly to set up Reva, the Grand Inquisitor, and the inquisitors/Jedi hunt in general, and to keep Obi Wan saying “we lost” and Owen saying “like you trained his father,” which are both great
*Cut a lot of stuff with Leia’s too “cute” lines and her doing Dr. Phil on people, then cut most of her chase in the forest because it’s silly and it should be over with in 2 seconds
*Keep episodes 2 and 3 mostly intact with the main cuts being to most times Reva is on screen, try to emphasize that she’s doing all of this on her own to downplay the stupidity of the Empire knowing for dead certain that Bail Organa knows Obi Wan personally
*Either make the first duel a nightmare sequence or somehow tweak it to where it makes more sense that Vader wouldn’t just follow them. Maybe just have Vader do the tracking device himself, but I don’t really like that idea either because it’s too repetitive with the original movie.
*Another idea I had, which I don’t know if it would work, would be to just mash the first duel and second duel together.
*Cut episode 4 except for the bacta tank part. I don’t want the handholding thing either because Obi Wan and Leia shouldn’t be so close. Sorry but continuity does matter!
*If possible no one should ever call him Obi Wan either, make it Ben so that when he tells Luke that he hasn’t gone by the name Obi Wan since before Luke was born, it’s accurate.
*Cut Vader choking Reva. I know people like this scene because it’s Vader being so hardcore or whatever but she shouldn’t place the tracking device, and if he’s going to discipline her like that he should have just killed her.
*Put any residual youngling flashbacks at the beginning with the other ones with Reva in episode 5, then take out the ones that happen when she gets stabbed (too mean!) She gets stabbed and killed. Her flaw was her hubris, her need for revenge, and her lack of willingness to receive Obi Wan’s help. End of story.
*Figure out a way for it to make sense for the evacuation ship to get away from the star destroyer in orbit.
*Likewise have the star destroyer or tie fighters actually pursue the other ship while Vader goes to Obi Wan. It can still get away, just have the Empire make some effort not to be stupid.
*Episode 6 has no Reva in it and hence no ridiculous attempt to kill Luke or anything included in that. Also cut Obi Wan visiting Alderaan. Just end on the scene of Obi Wan meeting Luke and then going into the desert to see Qui Gon.
