I like fanedits that try to be seamless, as if the fanedit is the actual original.  As such, I found the cuts a little distracting.

Thanks for your comment !

What can we do when one of the most important sequence of a movie is absolutly, totally messed ?

all the ambiguity is here : favored the flow or the sense ? (when it's impossible to do both)

I've seen plenty of edits that are able to remove the crap while maintaining a reasonably smooth flow.  So I know it is possible.

As I already said, my edit, generally, has a good flow. Regarding the Mace/Sidious sequence, I agree, some things go little too fast...but take time to get used to it. If it was so lame that you and rpve said, I am sure that nobody could appreciate it.

This and the beginning (Grievous ship) are not representative sequences regarding the flow of all my edit.  

Theses sequences are completely missed  and can only be treated with a radical cut (IMO)

it's impossible for me to remove the crap in the mace/sidious sequence and keep a perfect flow...just because there is too much crap.

Also should mention there are a few places where you've replaced dialogue but it is obvious from mouth motion that it has been replaced.

Yes, but not important for me, it's just very short sequences (I think the only moment in this edit), and it give much more sense - the essential for me is the sense of the movie, the idea.

Having said that, this is your edit and you should strive to make it as radical as you see fit.  There's nothing wrong with doing things as rough as you want in order to get your version of the movie, it just won't be some people's cup of tea (mine included).

You're perfectly right. First, I create this edit for my own pleasure...Now I share it because I am sure that some, who shares the same vision as me, will love it as I do.. I don't want to convice anyone, it's not for sale !  ^^

Good luck with the edit.  I do hope you are able to produce something you truly enjoy.

Thank you very much ! this edit is almost finished (95%) and I must admit that it saves my life.

as you say, the essential is to enjoy....so enjoy ! ; )
