The explosion idea for the balcony falling on Obi-wan is a great idea! I'll keep that in mind. But, no, that wasn't what I was thinking... And I'm not going to reveal it yet, either (though it really wouldn't be anything splashy).
Yeah, I like the way the cuts work technically, but you might be right.
And lastly: I think you've actually got the choice of "Surrender, friends"or "Surrender, gentlemen." Because the 'friends' line also comes from that meeting in Ep 2: "Our friends from the Trade Federation have pledged their support."

(2) Since I am hoping not to show Palpatine turning around in his chair, this might prove annoying as I would need to use After Effects to remove Anakin and Obi-wan in order to use Palpatine's wide shot for scene establishment.
Ah. I missed that. Nvrmnd then...
I still think you may have a point there. I may need to put in the extra work.
Yeah, I got that impression, too. Like, "What do you think this is Kid Blunder? A line for an amusement park ride?"
It was just my initial impression [that Anakin was in cahoots with Palpatine]... it does work on repeated viewings, but I hope I was coming to it with a fresh head when I first viewed it...

I'd suggested having his silhouette somehow blocking part of the shot for a brief second, moving right to left, but the logistics might be beyond anything but WETA
How much do you think they'd charge for 1 shot? Seriously, I briefly looked at surrounding footage for a shot that might work as a shadow but didn't see an Anakin figure that could be rotoscoped for a shadow, but that doesn't mean one doesn't exist in other fights. He should be in the shot. Definitely. How'd that escape Lucasfilm?? Maybe they should contact WETA!
...Obi-Wan's landing on the floor IMHHO should be shortened at the beginning, because it feels a beat too long and makes the audience think Anakin's just waiting for his cue to attack Dooku instead of hammering straight at him...

I like "Surrender, gentlemen."
Thanks for posting the rotoscope info. I haven't tried my hand at any of it yet.
