This was great! The new music and color grading is fantastic and really gives it a Star Wars feel. All the little trims and rearrangements of scenes are pretty much unnoticeable and vastly improve upon the original. Anakin’s turn is much better in this as well. In my opinion I would maybe consider adding back the 66 montage and the Palpatine Yoda duel, but the removal of those scenes work great and I didn’t really miss them that much. I personally think that either all the Yoda saber stuff should be included or none of it should, because if you remove the Dooku duel from ep 2 as many do, his only saber scene is during order 66, which is a little jarring to me. But, I like how the camera sticks on Yoda during his short action scene outside the temple, which feels like a nod to the audience, so that’s not a big deal either. The only part that stuck out to me was during the Palpatine/Mace section, I think his arrest goes slightly too quick. I’m also not a huge fan of the emperor face reveal thing, but honestly I haven’t seen a version of that which is really satisfying. Ideally it would morph into his emperor face without the lights - I think I saw someone attempt that a while ago, but I’m not sure if it was a finished effect. Overall I loved this, will probably be my preferred ROTS edit, especially for the music. Good work!
