Yeah that’s another thing that it improves. In the original film, her immediately blaming Dooku seemingly comes out of nowhere. The way I’ve characterized her here though makes that comment more believable. Placing blame on Dooku would increase the public’s fear of the Separatists and generate more support for the Military Creation Act. It also feels more like a continuation of her character in The Phantom Menace. In that film, she called for a vote of no confidence in Chancellor Valorum because of his lack of action against the Trade Federation. The Trade Federation has only become more militarized between TPM-R and AOTC-R. I also removed some of her more pacifist dialog in TPM-R (“I will not condone any action that will lead us to war”) because it clashes with her actions at the end of the film and to be consistent with AOTC-R.
