Padme and anakin on the balcony, anakin awakening, anakin and padme on the terrace, Anakin and Yoda, General grievous using lightsabers, Yoda fighting palpatine, yoda fighting stormtroopers, anakin and padme talking politics, about half of the mace vs palpatine fight, plus the whole part where he is deflecting the lightening, and Anakin in the council chamber looking out the window to padme, plus half the opera scene. Also the war room scene is gone where Mace senses a plot to destroy the jedi and the scene where anakin tells mace that Palpatine is a sith is gone as well

The final duel is also only about 2/3 of its normal length. No lava surfing or fighting on the table.

Upon reflection I am going with my leaner cut, although I did end up putting in 3 of the deleted scenes after all. Obi/mace/yoda scene is in to fill in some story elements from a scene I cut. The first mon motha scene because I needed a scene to go between obi leaving for utapau and him arriving and I liked its OT value even though the scene itself is sort of dry. And I put dagobah in just for fun although I don't feel its nessesary I just figured it would be kind of neat to have it in there. Its funal running time is 1h 50m

although I was reviewing it today and the deleted scenes have a bit of distortion so I'm not sure if I am just going to have to cut my losses and accept that, or if I can find a way to effectively capture them
