Hi Hal… just wanted to say I finally got the chance to check out your fanedits and I love what you’ve done. ESPECIALLY the prequel trilogy.

Even though the germ of the story is pretty great (the story, not necessarily the screenplays), there’s always been one thing that really bothered me about the way Lucas made them, and that’s his expectation that people will always watch them out of sequence (the originals first, then the prequels); because of that, they pander to fans instead of surprise us. One thing above all sticks out at me: when Padme names her children. This totally destroys the surprise of Leia being the other child for the first-time viewer watching them in episode order (and we already know she has two babies and they’re separated from other discussion.)

So, I’d like to suggest that, if you further revise Labyrith of Evil, you might consider removing her naming the twins.

Anyway, they’re works of art, so thank you for the work you’ve done. And thanks for your consideration on my suggestion. 😃

(P.S. the only other thing I wish had been left in is the Palpatine-Yoda battle, not just because it’s awesome but because it shows Yoda didn’t just give up on everything. He was defeated… which gives his payback training Vader’s son a bigger edge. Just a thought!)
