Oh definitely not. It works the way I currently have it because there's a final low sting when the Neimodians get off the phone with Lord Sidious, and it blends nicely into the pilot saying "with all due respect...." without Liam Neeson saying anything. Getting rid of the pilots and the ship's destruction is too much.

Oh yeah, I didn't have time to address the Neimodian thing. I really don't have a problem with their voices too much. Maybe some of the more annoying lines like "ohhh rord Sidious, the ship...it is out of our wrange wrong time!" But I cut stuff like that. If anyone wants to go treasure hunting through KOTOR for some usable dialogue, and can get plenty of it, post some audio samples: different emotions, questions, etc.

Jar Jar is introduced when he and Padme meet while she's cleaning R2. I was lucky this scene was there, otherwise you have no idea who half the characters are. The Jedi I'll work a little more so I can introduce them in the crawl.

OR

I had an idea about my opening, it's only a tad shoddy and I think everyone can tell just by hearing about it. I could redo it and show the ambassadors coming, Sidious having them killed, cut to the invasion (a real great transition btw), plus shots of the capital being taken, and a line to the Viceroy about the Queen being captured, then show them being taken off to the camps after being asked to sign the treaty, then the Jedi jump out of no where and save everybody, their origin left to the Star Wars extended universe. And trim off any cheesiness along the way. Then we can set up the Jedi, set up the Queen, set up the pilots, get some interaction with the battle droids a little, etc.

Hey thanks for the feedback so far, I really want this edit to accomodate as many people as possible, otherwise I'd be ruining the point.
