The Neimoidian dubs are from Passion of the Christ, and yes, they were subbed, but it didn't make it into the clip, I guess.  Ian McDiarmid's narration was from the Musical Journey DVD.

The twin suns footage, which TJ did a great job creating using a shot from Dune, was to be part of Anakin's nightmare about his mother's death, which we never finished, so we added it to the prologue...  I like it both places.

As far as the virgin birth concept, I was never of the school that had any problem with it.  I liked the whole "Chosen One" thing.  In my opinion, the more steeped in mythology this series is, the better.  It makes Anakin kind of Biblical, or like one of the tragic Greek heroes.  I do wish it had been written so it actually had a point, but whatever...I've given up trying to rationalize George Lucas' careless storytelling.

Oh, and I thought the Vader construction / rise of the Empire thing was dropped from the prologue in the later versions so that it ended just on Palpatine's face at the funeral....I think we liked that better...the clip TJ released must've been from an earlier version.  I forget now...it's been a while since we worked on that portion.
