This edit will be a great version for people who've seen and know the movies. But I feel that anyone watching this version without having first watched the original would be like. "Ok, wait a second, well the hell is going on? I cant keep up.
Thanks bob for your comment !
it's interesting that you mention that because I showed two years ago my edit to my brother (who has never seen the original version). He has understood everything without great difficulty. We must admit that it's not a very complex movie. Anyway the priority of my edit is to respect the spirit, the atmosphere of Star Wars.
As I already said I prefer something short than something crazy, ugly or stupid...something a little too short doesn't affect me...something ugly or stupid spoil my fun.

Palaptine and Maces saber fight is 13 seconds long on screen. And The time from when Anakin walks into the room to him cutting off Maces hand runs around 24 seconds. That is really fast
Yes, the duel Palpatine/Mace is really short...You have done something really interesting in your edit with light on/off...it hides bad CGI etc but I really can't let three Jedi masters die like this...
But concerning Anakin's fall, I think the precipitation here is a good thing. There was already a dead time in the Council Chamber...Anakin knows now what he want. In the original cut Windu take too much time, too much momentum..and the infamous : "he is the traitor, no he is the traitor, I have the power to save...you must choose etc"
Precipitation is a perfect condition for mistake..no time to think. My cut supports this feeling. it Insist on the fact that Anakin is now in a whirlpool, he control no more his destiny.
