I'm only a half hour in, but so far it's wonderful, being a complete spoiler fiend while the film was in production it's great to revisit all the behind the scenes stuff.

Although i'd hate to admit it but i'm going to have to recommend some of George's wisdom... "Faster More Intense" yes it's great to watch the whole movie again, but it's not necessary to have everything included. The point of the feature is the work which went into the film, so for me Clones Revealed lags a little (not much cus so far you've found clips or factoids for almost everything) when i feel i'm forced to sit through the movie itself without any added commentary or alternative footage i get slightly annoyed. i had this same problem with the other fan docs, so it's not worth worry about this point for more then a second.

Don't underestimate the cheesy fades, they could be used when you've got several picts of one of the sets (especially if they are from the same angle) or models and instead of just hard cutting or fading, use a cross fade or one of the other standard tools most video editing applications come with.

And maybe it's because of the software you used, why did you choose to have every image stand alone full on screen?

Also no references so far to the novel, did you choose to stay away from the novel since it was less canon then visual or audio evidence?

So far, bravo on the research, it's amazing how much stuff you've managed to work into this cut. Can't wait too see what you dug up on the battle sequences.
