This goes way beyond what I was envisioning in my thread “Episode 3” or “What Convinced Me To Try a Re-edit”, but has anyone done Prequel edits for 1 and 2 that try to hide Darth Sidious’ dual character so that it becomes a dramatic revelation by Episode 3?
I always thought that, if the movies are actually to play in order from 1 through 6, Palpatine and Sidious should be separate characters in the audience’s mind so that even they feel betrayed by Palpatine’s duplicity.
