Well, I tried editing the Duel between Mace and Palpatine, and there are alot of sound problems, as well as crossfade issues. But:

I re-edited the sequence of events to when anakin arrives 

The conversation between mace and palps in as follows-Mace: In the name of the Galactic senete of the republic, (blah blah blah)

Palpatine: I am the Senete!

Mace: We'll decide your fate (then)

Palpatine: Are you threatning me master jedi- (he stands up)

Mace: Not yet

Palpatine: It's treason then.

Well, I think it works. The rest of the changes you may or may not notice. Little stuff like making palpatine less whiney at then end. I tried to recolor Agen's saber, but I gave up. My editing skills are no match for some of you out there but, hey, I tried.

 Over all i think was a definite improvement. All the good points:

The pace was better, more exciting and took out the CGI Palpatine flipping from a metal thing to flip back in the same place which ive always hated (so wish the CGI Palpatine that smashes the glass would look better). I like the new dialogue.

Few minor things that i would personally would of changed:

Didnt like the recolouring of Agen Kolars saber since i like the saber colours the way they are. Thought the line of ''We'll decide you fate (then)'' came a little too soon and had to rewatch that little bit a few times to try and make out what he said, turned my speakers up and still cant hear it exactly so i think without being told what he said i wouldnt have a clue, maybe you could change that so the line comes maybe a second/half a second later. Dont know if it was just me watching that scene over and over but didnt feel anakin was in two minds about the situation. I know why i feel this was due to you cutting a few silly lines of dialogue which i totally understand.

Overall i loved it and a inspiration to other editors who wish to improve ROTS. Well done! :D
