So, I'm a good portion of the way through... I need to get ahold of ADigitalMan, because I decided to use his cut as my new basis for the film, and need permission to release it.
-I've added back in the introduction to Darth Maul, and the additional probe droid scene.
-I attempted a different cut of the podrace. Should smooth things up without jerking around too much.
-I added Amidala addressing the Senate. As was stated in reviews, this edit did have an issue with telling the story in non-action sequences, and this scene was a pivotal one narratively.
The Phantom Hour is now more like The Phantom Hour and 9 Minutes... but I think I can deal :P
New workprint will be out soon.
