Excited to see you take this on! The new opening flows pretty well overall. I’ll never understand why Corde says that she “failed” Padme when her job was literally to be a decoy but that’s definitely a nitpick. The JarJar CGI in the deleted scene also looks rough but I’m not sure much can be done about that.
It’s interesting that you seem to be preserving the antagonism between Anakin and Obi-Wan moreso than most edits. I’d like to see how you pull it off.
