I've tried to fix both instances in my edit, but really the best you can do is make it less obvious the droids simply have no aim rather than fix it entirely.
Also, take a look at the duel footage I've edited with Dooku. Some of the issues remain, but I think I've been able to make Dooku's crushing of Obi Wan fast enough that it could actually happen in the time Anikan is on the ground. Let me know what you think.

You know, I never really noticed the lack of aim for the blaster bolt deflections. The hangar fight did always annoy me, but I thought it was only because of the lame droids. However, the ease of Anakin's and Obi-wan's defense was troubling, too. I never knew there was THIS much wrong with the scene. Hmmm...
Nice music selection for your Dooku duel edit! It really felt that much more intense, like an act 1 opening in Star Wars should be. It does slow down dramatically when Anakin has Dooku at his mercy. Any way to extend the previous music into this section, too? Keep the adrenaline flowing?
