Very nice! I’m so glad somebody is tackling these movies with this approach. That scene does flow a lot better now without the “whining”. And he definitely didn’t need to dig himself a hole in front of Padme by talking about the women and children. Having him just say that he killed “all of them” is enough to read into for the audience’s sake.
What are your thoughts on including the Kenobi flashback early in the movie in a similar way to Spence’s edit of AOTC? This does feel very “special edition” coded in that it sticks out a little bit like the Jabba scene in ANH lol.
