I agree with vranir, maybe loose the “wishing to board immediately” scene and alter the first Sidious appearance.
Something like this:
•Crawl
•The cruiser appears, lands aboard the federation ship and two hooded figures leave.
•Wide shot of the command bridge, insert “a transmission from the planet” but not the video.
•All communication is cut and Sio Bibble suspects an invasion. Maybe I’d add padmé’s “they wouldn’t dare that far” and finish the scene on “I will not condone a course of action, that will lead us to war.” Simply because it’s one of the better shots in the movie.
•The ship is blown up, the gas gets released and Gunray instructs the Battledroids to “destroy the rest of them”
•The door opens and the action ensues
•The Jedi dodge from the scene, see the invasion army and decide to warn the naboo.
Let’s see maybe next week I’ll find the time to try my hands on this.
