I just thought of a pretty glaring problem with Anakin's entrance as he says, “You’re going to pay for killing the woman I love.” He wouldn't refer to Padme this way right in front of Obi-Wan. No way- otherwise, Obi-Wan's an idiot for not knowing they’re in love. But…Anakin can say this as he is dueling Dooku, after Kenobi has been struck down. I can picture this…they’re fighting, the lightsaber gets chopped in half, the lights go out, and Anakin says, “You’re going to pay for killing the woman I love.” Dooku: “Indeed.” And their blades clash (Obi-Wan's on the other side of the room, wounded; he may have heard it, he may not have." Even though the rush at Dooku might have seemed pointless at first, it would become clear that Anakin is furious with Dooku.

Understand that the actual editing and implication of the force push isn't a problem at all- I can pull that off. The only problem was the motivation, which we're taking care of now while adding so much more weight and drama to the whole Dooku/Anakin relationship.
