I'm glad to hear you say this, TM. I think this is the most important point to remember.
2. I agree that we need some kind of explanation for Maul=Grievous. It's just far too much of a stretch for me otherwise. Someone made a VERY good point; the confrontation between Obi-Wan and Grievous is not at all appropriate for Obi-Wan facing the man that killed his master. He makes cocky, "funny" comments, like "hello there", "you're move", and "So uncivilized." Remember how furious he was in Episode I?
If this isn't addressed convincingly, I think Maul=Grievous would have to go.
3. I actually don't have a German copy of Episode I yet.

The German DVD can be got from amazon.de or ebay.de. Otherwise, you might be able to get a rip of the dialogue track from a German forum member (if there is one).
4. If I'm understanding correctly, there was an idea to turn Sidious in Episode I to Count Dooku? If so, that's a VERY interesting idea because all the mystery would be there and the scenes containing Sidious wouldn't have to be scrapped. We still want this movie to be feature length Also, it would make Dooku a permanent character throughout all three prequels, which is good. Episode I would be the set-up, and he would come out into the open in Episode II. And as it was brought up, it's a revelation to the audience when Dooku shows up at Sidious' place at the end of Episode II. Dooku isn't the head honcho. Of course, this would mean that Palpatine had trained two Sith at once.... Am I understanding this correctly?

This is an interesting idea - but it could weaken the plan to strengthen Nute Gunray.
