The Droid control ship has a unique design. From an attack perspective it’s the equivalent of the thermal exhaust port on the Death Star. I would have kept the other capital ships visible in the battle. The Federation would be so convinced of its victory that the fighters launched from the control ship would have been enough. Visually you don’t have the threat suddenly reduced. Once the control ship is down they can’t launch anymore fighters as they were controlled from the control ship. You might have them try to escape like in the Battle of Scarif only to have Republic ships turn up and stop some (once Palpatine has seen the tide turn). The battle doesn’t currently feel right. Which a problem with the original film and not your edit.

I think get what you’re saying. Honestly, I think the reason that the Droid Control ship is shown mostly by itself comes down to visually clarity. If there were multiple identical ships in view at all times, it could create confusion for the viewer as to how far away any given fighter is from the main control ship. This is the exact problem that plagues the ROTS Space Battle. The disorientation created greatly lowers the stakes.

Here’s a brand new RECUT: https://youtu.be/MswuP8RLR7Q

I’ll be back to doing Editing breakdowns soon, as long as work doesn’t get too busy.

Enjoy the Edit!

Don’t believe you 😉

Hahah! Yeah. . . The problem is that my work has involved a ton of thinking as of late (I got promoted), and it takes a lot of thinking to write those scripts, so when work is brainless, I can write quickly, but when work is crazy, a script can take forever. Editing is the easy part, explaining it is super hard. . . Which is why nobody tends to bothers trying. . . Personally, I rather the script be late and good, so it will hold up for years after the videos are first uploaded.

Really cool recut, and changing the order of scenes gives a clearer sense progression between them.

Why did you add in the medium wide shot at 0:25? The dialogue is unchanged, and you come back to the same medium shot right after. Why not leave it as a long take?

Cutting the whole “someone should make them agree” and jumping right to Padme’s “you’re making fun of me” really improves the flow of the conversation, really good idea.

Cheers mate! The reason I made that wee change is that Anakin/Padme’s performance in the mid shot goofs up the tone that I’m going for. The crazy thing is that the body movements and mouth movements in the wide shot basically sync with the mid shot, so I was able to get away with it.

Specifically, in the mid shot, when Padme’s talking up how dope Palo was, Anakin gets a pouty jealous look on his face, and Padme sort of responds in a motherly tone.

But in the wide shot Anakin laughs off Palo, and the goofy way Padme is describing her childhood crush. . . Which makes him more attractive, and puts Padme a bit on the back foot, which is where she needs to be if the second scene is going to land.

Make sense?
