Good work Chuck :)

Like everything you've done here, feels much more like a star wars movie - I like the quick cuts during the space battle, you've cut all the parts I used to cringe at and re-arranged whats left into something that really works.

for example, seeing the shot of the cruisers broadsiding each other, The droid capitol ship being raked with fire all along its side and then the bridge shattering and Grievious being blasted out into space and fleeing in the escape pod... genius!

while inter-mingling this stuff with the jedi vs dooku duel is great, love it.

The nemoidians line - "The Jedi are in the main hanger bay!" - is still there tho - the way its spoken makes me think SURFER DUDE??!! or Bill and Ted... if you could remove that dialogue and use beeps or something? - "whats wrong with your face dude??!!" as redlettermedia might say :) his eyes and mouth are covered - so maybe replace his line with a droids beeps or something.. thats the only bit that still made me cringe tho!

 

The part where Anakin has his lightsabres crossed at Dooku's neck - the pause still seems to long - after all the excitement of the battle and the duel and the frenzy in Anakin's facial expressions - once he disarms Dooku he goes back into teenager mode from Attack of the Clones .... the chancellor is urging him on, but poor anakin is suddenly torn as what to do. And Dooku looks all teary eye'd back and forth from Anakin and Palpatine....ugh he's an evil villain!

Okay, i get why Lucas did this..but it just ruins the climax of the duel....

It would be nice to see the moment Anakin gets his blades at Dooku's neck he doesnt hesitate and just cuts his head off...... and cut all of Palpatines lines to so he is now just watching while Anakin slays an unarmed opponent! much more un-jedi like! and the fact that he doesnt hesitate would make it more powerfull. And as a bonus we get thro the scene quicker. (I mean that less is more)

The Padme and Anakin scene actually brought a lump to my throat the way you edited it where as before i was just sitting in the corner cringing during this scene - the music you chose is much more effective as well.

 

So to sum up and sorry for the long post - Most Impressive! :)
