I saw your alternative introduction to the movie, and I really liked it.
One of the biggest issues I had with this movie is that we are constantly told, but not really shown the scale of the clone wars. The audience would have no idea about the extent of the clone wars without watching the animated series. The movie should be able to stand on its own without the need to incorporate a television show.
Your approximately 30 second intro immediately gives the audience at least some indication that we are in the midst of an all out galactic war.
As you said, I hope more edits incoroporate this or some variation of it.
Hey thanks! yeah, i wish the movie felt more of a “war time” mood. Hope someone can edit this better and with more scenes haha
