I’ve reached Coruscant on TPM. Again, this is a lighter edit than Attack of the Clones, as I’ve always felt that TPM is an editing pass away from being genuinely good. So Nothing quite as drastic.

Some stuff I’m doing:

Similar to AOTC, lots of small nips and trims to conversations or dead space to keep the pace moving. This is happening in pretty much every scene.
I’m keeping a little more of the battle droid chatter than most editors, but still trimming the most egregiously annoying parts.
I’m keeping the visit to the Gungans at the beginning, with some heavy editing for pacing and silliness. I know that it’s popular to remove that sequence, but I feel like we need to see them and set up their antagonism with the Naboo for the later scenes to work. The planet core journey will be cut though.
I’m reinstating the usual deleted scenes (Anakin stuff on Tattooine, some of the extended podrace stuff)
3PO is going to be cut from this film as well. This will be a little trickier to execute as he’s in more of the film with other characters than AOTC.
The podrace is getting some trims, especially to the opening of it. I feel like the festivities go on a bit too long before we actually get into the race itself. I’m doing some minor cuts for pacing but it’s largely the same sequence.
