Well, it's quite nice Bob, it strongly reminds to the ANH pod chamber. Perhaps Angel's new matte could have more piping to make it even more similar; but as it is now, it's already an amazing improvement.

Regarding my suggestion of having Anakin going to Padme's after founding out about the chancellor, well, I've been watching some of your vids in youtube, particularly "opera scene take 7" (excellent, it work perfectly) and I think that you're getting to the point of really making the transition smooth as it should be. Anakin (who's the protagonist and the character people should feel empathy with, will feel dissapointed with the Jedi and generate that confusing atmosphere in which a bad guy like Palpatine would take control of the Republic). Those scenes (The Opera- Palpatine's revelation - Anakin in Padme's home - Windu and the Council planning to overthrow Palpatine), in any order you put them, are the main tandem in order to make the film believable, you've already fixed the Opera, wich was the weakest of all, thumbs up for you!

However the order of scenes could work best if it was an alternating story of what the Jedi are doing with Palps point of view... something kinda...

Opera

Yoda on Kasshyk, Obi to Utapau Council scene

Ani's farewell to Obi

Windu and the council SECRET scene (so as to make us think the Jedi are up to something)

Palpatine's reveal-

Anakin at Padme's-

Anakins turn.

Edit:

PS: Sorry Angel, once more, my english betrayed me and misunderstood
