I want to throw out a thought. Everytime, Anakin does something wrong, he questions it verbally... Not only is it annoying, I think it diminishes his character. Anakin is Headstrong, and that is what takes him down the road to the Dark Side, that's just a part of his Character...

... He kills Dooku like Sidious told him too, thinks nothing of it, and goes over to help Obi-wan. In his mind, both are the right things to do. Kind of Twisted thinking. "He's more machine now, than man, Twisted and Evil" Thoughts?

I totally agree with you. In a perfect world my rough edit of the Dooku scene would go EXACTLY like you have described (well, almost exactly; I can't stand the fact that the Chancellor is so transparently a bad influence on Anakin while Anakin seems completely oblivious ).

The trick is pulling the scene off cinematically, matching shot cuts to make the whole thing flow without seeing Anakin's mouth move with nothing coming out of it. Ideally, I'd like the editing to be seemless like the Phantom mostly does in ATTACK OF THE PHANTOM. Any suggestions?
