I’ve got AOTC in a fully working state, which will obviously be tweaked and perfected further.

I’ve started preliminary work on TPM. I don’t anticipate that one to be as drastic as the other two, as I think TPM largely functions well as it is. The pacing is off, but the action is much better edited and kinetic than in AOTC and ROTS. Also, I’m a firm believer in TPM being, at the end of the day, a kids movie. This is before things take a dark turn in AOTC, and it should be fun, light, and appropriate for children. I’m fine with some comic relief from Jar-Jar, and I’m fine with the “boys adventure” vibe for Anakin. I’d want to trim those elements to make them better, not remove them all together.

Some trims for pacing and line delivery are expected, and I’ll probably remove the whole planet core scene, but otherwise this won’t be as drastic of an edit, probably less drastic than HAL’s as far as what is kept vs. cut.

The question is, do I release these out of order as they’re completed, or do I wait and release them all together when I finish the trilogy? I’m leaning toward releasing them all together.
