Well, since your tightening up on your editting plot, I thought I would throw in a couple of little ideas I had.

First, the scene where anakin is talking with watto in mos espa. At the end of the conversation, as you know, anakin intimidates watto into cutting the crap by puffing his face and say "i'd like to know". I thought what would be cooler is if you had anakin look at watto and then say something along the lines of " if you don't tell me , i'll tear both of those wings right off", THEN have the shot of padme looking from watto to anakin and then cut to watto's reaction of "sure , ah sure, lets go look at my records". If you get my meaning it should be something kind of funny......but in a "don't piss anakin off" sort of comedy. Just a thought.

Second, the scene where anakin is fighting dooku and gets his arm cutt off.......I remember watching in the theaters and thinking it was an awkward cut because anakin hardly made a groan. Since your doing the adr, maybe you could throw in a nice painful yell (similar to luke in ESB) to give the scene more of a shock effect. Maybe have the music effect the action as well with something creepy. Doing this would easily give the viewer the surprise of going " holy crap ani just got his army cut off".

I actually have a ton of ideas for further editting Episode One and three, but I'll have to save those for another day, namely whenever you decide to take those projects on. And finally, those shots of the outlander club with the creepier residents is a very nice step forward for that scene as well. Good luck trooper!
