Nicholas J. Michalak just posted a clip from his AOTC edit:

I thought I'd post a few thoughts on it here:
I'm not a big fan of Anakins lines at the funeral. However, if they are going to say in the movie it would make more sense to switch the lines around:
Anakin (standing): I miss you...so much.
Anakin (falls to his knees): I wasn't strong enough to save you mom...
And continue the scene. The reason the switch would be that the emphasis should be on Anakin "not failing again". Not "I miss you".
I would cut 3POs lines too:
Padme: R2? What are you doing here?
R2: Beep boop whatever...
-Anakin stands next to Padme with interests peaked
-Wipe to next scene
We know R2 has the message. 3PO doesn't have to explain it. I feel like it was written simply for it to be a wink and a nod to ANH.
I like how the other scenes were combind together. The plot still seems to be the crap old plot from the original...so I don't know how much it's going to help. ;)
I also like how the droids are left behind! :D Wait. Should R2 be left behind?
Overall great stuff!
