As far as Anakin's turn to the dark side, and making it believable and logical. That is going to be, as everybody already knows, the most challenging and difficult part of this edit (right there along with Palp's face distortment, but they are in the same scene).
Has anybody had any new ideas on this recently? The best I can think of is for the turn to take place mentally while Anakin is staring out the window, then runs straight to the aid of Palpy, slashing Mace's hand off, then the "I pledge myself to you" line. Still pretty weak though, but it at least seems like he made a concious decision to turn. There is still no logic to be found though. I think it would be better to have Anakin kill Windu completely, with none of Palpatine's unlimited power crap, perhaps by knocking him off the edge. I guess that would involve editing out force lightning though.
Maybe you could morph the scene where Anakin walks in on Mace and Palpy with a later scene where the lightning is already going. Anakin walks up and does a 'force-push' and Mace goes bye-bye.
A dream come true would be the release of the original scene where Palp grabs Anakin's lightsaber to fight off the Jedi while he stands and watches.
Anybody have any ideas on making Palpatine's transformation less lame?

Maybe we could matte in a big bucket of hydrochloric acid on Palpy's desk, and with some clever edits, Mace trips Palpy and splash! Huge laughs! Lets do it!!
