100% on the way you’re handling the politics of Attack of the Clones. The inclusion of Phase3’s deleted scenes work really well. Of course, I had to attempt some additional trimming to both scenes.
Intro
• Cut enthusiastic “we made it”
• Cut decoy and Padme dialogue
• Tiny trims here and therehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/18zumkxyzy44pru49Yc69FLBErRZrdGL_/view?usp=sharing
Factory
• Cut sequence between Anaking slicing geonosian in half and Padme navigating through machinery
• Insert shot of Anakin looking up when Padme is being taken away in cauldron
• Remove Anakin using force to throw objects at geonosians
• Add Anakin chopping geonosian and then using force to unlatch cauldronhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1UkJpyZpclH_eiu-EWQTkKwU6L3gmjUwr/view?usp=sharing
Thoughts?
UPDATE: I’ve uploaded new versions of each sequence.
Here’s Sequence 1 (Bomb-Padme Addresses the Senate-Palptine’s Office): https://drive.google.com/file/d/14M7QuUx_Nmql8iYmG5aa_e2P8nAl-KBZ/view?usp=drive_link
-I Slightly tweaked your change, by adding back in Padme and Typho being thrown by the blast. I think that change adds a bit more context, and a bit more Ooomph to the blast, while still achieving the change you’re going for. Other than that I just went with your changes! GREAT WORK! So much better.
-I also made a small change to the scene in Palpatine’s Office. I cut the bit where Palpy asks Yoda, “Do you really think it will come to war?” right after he just said that his “Negotiations Will Not Fail.” . . . A bit double minded if you ask me. . .
And Here’s Sequence 2 (Droid Factory-Dooku’s Interrogation-Emergency Powers): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yvbmct2jlqnUbwIEHE7nDCzEN-KZvlu8/view?usp=drive_link
-For this one I completely reworked the end of the Droid Factory to take advantage our your idea for Anakin looking up as Padme is taken away in the vat. I’m MUCH happier with this version, but you’ll have to let me know what you think.
Keep the suggestions coming 😉
