Confused Matthew's reviews are fantastic, and I also enjoyed Rod Hilton's (www.the-editing-room.com). I know this site is probably old hat to most of you, but hopefully some of you will be reading Hilton for the first time.
Excerpts from his AOTC abridged script:
TEMUERA MORRISON
Here. I got these assassin bugs for you to use.
LEANNA WALSMAN
Thanks for the bugs. It’s a good thing you, a bounty hunter, hired me, a bounty hunter, to do absolutely nothing other than put this tube into a flying droid which you could just as easily possess. It gives me some real purpose.

Hayden, pay attention. Be mindful of the force and do what I tell you. I had almost completed my own Padawan training when I took you as my apprentice, so I have ever so slightly more training than you.
HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN
Nuh uh.
EWAN MCGREGOR
Yuh huh! And I do a great impression of Alec Guinness, too!
AUDIENCE
Wow.. So.. Uh.. apprently Jedi bicker incessantly.

EWAN MCGREGOR
Hi there.
TEMUERA MORRISON
I’m just a simple man trying to make his way in the universe.
EWAN MCGREGOR
Er, um, that’s great. So who are you?
TEMUERA MORRISON
My clone son is Boba Fett. He was a small role in the original trilogy and ravenous Star Wars fanboys elevated his importance based merely on his cool appearance. George Lucas, utterly sacrificing whatever vision he claims to have for the series, has made his role much more important by coincidently making his father responsible for the clone wars. But you can take a flying leap up my ass, Jedi scum.
They FIGHT.
TEMUERA MORRISON
Isn’t it cool how badass I look?
EWAN MCGREGOR
Actually, you seem somewhat inept in this fight. I’m outsmarting you and kicking your ass repeatedly.
TEMUERA MORRISON
Hey, I said I look cool, I didn’t say I was good at fighting. I’m modeled after the original Boba Fett; he gets killed by a blind guy accidentally.
