One of the reasons I liked ROTS was a general lack of 'monologue-ing'. If you've seen The Incredibles, you know what I am talking about. I am excited to see all of the extra dialogue cut out of the fights. Especially the Yoda/Dooku lines.
--------------------------
I'm a little sad to see the shot of Padme shooting at Dooku's ship go as it was a nice parallel to Empire, but sacrifices must be made.

Regarding Watto: I think Anakin should have been a bit more agressive in finding Shmi. I know you are looking at that by having Anakin threaten Watto. My approach would be a little different from what you guys suggest. I'd cut all the chit chat and the bit about Anakin fixing the power droid. It was filmed to convince Watto that it was really Anakin. Who cares. Who would be asking about Shmi anyway? So instead of Anakin threatening to cut Watto's wings off, he uses a Jedi mind trick on Watto and it works. I know that Watto says that mind tricks don't work on Toydarians. This is why I think it would be cool to see here. We all remember the scene from TPM. All of a sudden Anakin does it on Watto! We realise this guy is so strong in the Force that he can influence minds that usually aren't affected by the Jedi mind trick. And it would make a nice payoff for having the Qui-gon/Watto scene in TPM in the first place.

And I like the line ANAKIN (V.O.): "I'm not afraid to die... but I can never lose you again.", but does the line make sense for a wedding? Does being married equate to dying?
