Actually, that monkey looks much more lifelike than the Gungans.

And now for something completely different:
Personally, I always considered the finding Kamino plot one of the strongest of AotC. I realize that says more about the film than the plot itself, but in my view the plot is one of the few things you actually take a real interest in when you're watching that wretched film for the first time.

Pretty much every fanedit out there cut both the diner and the library/map thingamajig scene - when I watched this film for the first time, these two were probably the only scenes I actually ENJOYED. Obi-Wan Kenobi: Space Detective. This meandering mess of an excuse for a movie needed a mystery to focus it. To be fair, the diner scene isn't all that, but I actually like the library.

I guess what I'm saying is that I would advise people to be careful when editing down the Kamino bits. I'm all for CHANGING it - Jango is Boba? Fine. Drastic colour correction? Yes! Trying to have it make more sense? Please! - but cutting big portions of it doesn't sound like a good idea to me. While you may care more about the political ramifications of Count Dooku's position NOW (after watching it 26 times), there has to a certain draw the first time you watch it. Obi-Wan Kenobi: Space Detective may not be much, but it's the closest AotC comes to such a draw, in my humble opinion. I was sad to see the otherwise massive improvement that was Magnoliafan's edit cut it down.
