Marvolo,
I really like the transitioning from the arm restraints, to Palpatine Standing. It was seemless and eliminated one of my least favorite lines in the whole movie. Thank you for that! The one thing that I did miss was the look of terror on Dooku's face when Anakin has him on his knees, head between the blades. This is where he realizes, he's met his match, and this wasn't the same boy who he had beat in AOTC. Oh yeah, that and the fact that his life was over.
Only other question, I know many people are attempting to keep the vader thing a secret, do you plan on doing this as well? Vader's music may be a bit too revealing if you are trying to keep it a secret. Also it may be a bit too early in the movie for this, as he has not yet turned to the dark side. Might be more appropriate after he chops off Mace's arm (if it's not already there, I can't remember).
Keep the clips coming! I love all the different "Point of Views".

I hadn't really planned to do a whole edit. I just like to do bits and pieces of the movies to help people get ideas to use in their own edits. I may stick all these little edits together and make a full edit of ROTS, but right now I am mostly taking it slow and doing what you might call pre-production work.
About the Vader theme music, I had planned to not use it, but in The Story of Star Wars PDF book released by a member of this forum it has some quotes from George Lucas about ROTS. George states that at one point when he was planning Anikan's fall to the Dark Side he wanted the Anikan/Dooku duel to mirror the ROTJ Vader/Luke/Emperor duel in that Luke chooses the Light Side and the story ends, but in ROTS Anikan chooses to give in to his hatred and kills Dooku and by doing so rather than the film ending the film continues to chart Anikan's decent to the Dark Side.
This made me want to try to make Anikan's fall more like George's original idea by having the killing of Dooku be what starts his spiral towards the Dark Side rather than his dreams of Padme and his attempts to save her. Plus, I think something like Vader's theme should have been used to chart Anikan's decent to the Dark Side musically in the Prequels. In each film Anikan's theme would slowly get darker and closer to the militaristic Vader theme in ESB. It could have been a hopeful theme at first, but after his slaughter of the Tuskens you would start to hear confusing and unbalanced chaotic and harsh notes symbolizing Anikan's own confusion. But since no music was written like this for the prequels I used what I had.
