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.
I will definitely consider it. I do like that scene in the context of AOTC. It’s just a matter if I can get it to visually match well enough for me to be happy with it. Notably, I haven’t seen any versions that attempt to de-age Obi-Wan, which I think would be somewhat necessary to get the scene to fit seamlessly.
Nice clip, is more natural, if im gonna leave a suggestion it would be that remove the mention of sifo-dyas from the clone plot, it’s really convoluted and incorent.
Thanks for the suggestion. I don’t plan to do this, since one of the goals of this edit is to mesh cleanly with other on-screen canon, and the Sifo-Dyas thread is picked up in The Clone Wars.
