Gaffer, you are the ingenious individual who made an entire video on the insanity of the Jabba Palace rescue plan! I've got to say, you disappoint me! The grand master asking a mere novice... ;)

I certainly don't think an entire video ripping on how dumb the Threepio head swap bit is would be boring... but if you needed to pad it out, maybe you could make a top worst moments of AOTC video.

The coolest thing about your Jabba rescue plan video, was that you took something most people over looked the crappiness of, and pointed it out in a way that made viewer take a second look at it and realize "Whoa, that is pretty f-ed up! How did I ever ignore that before?" It was a fairly unique insight that most of us really were never bothered by, because we were too busy loving the hell out of that movie, or dissing the Ewoks and the fact that the movie ended with Yub Nub.

I think something like that would be hard with this, since the PT has literally been picked to pieces already. So part of me just says stick to an enthusiastic and humorous complaint commentary (like your Jabba video) on Threepio's antics and how it is inconsistant with what we have seen in the OT. Another part of me would like to see you rant on about other parts of episode II as well, but realize you run the risk of seeming exactly like every other youtube reviewer out there (something that, I am happy to say, I feel you have done a great job avoiding so far). Perhaps you could take the approach of examining the inconsistencies of C3PO's character between the PT and OT.    

You are a very creative guy, I have great faith in your ability to make this interesting and completely unique. Also, I wouldn't worry so much about length, the video could be just a few minutes long and still be very enjoyable. No need to feel obligated to go beyond, or even close to, the five minute mark.
