Great stuff, as usual.
I have two more suggestions:
- Bleep out every mention of "Sith". Childish, yes. Funny, maybe.
- Have Yoda speak correctly. This is something that always bothered me in the prequels. When Yoda gets serious in ESB and stops playing around, the backwards talk goes away (for the most part, I'm still working on some statistics to back this up), which made me think that Yoda didn't really talk like that, but slipped into doing it after playing the part of "crazy swamp creature" for 20 years. Then we see that 20 years before that, nearly everything that came out of his mouth sounded like a crazy swamp creature. I'd love to see if even serious edits could work on Yoda's backwards speech, because way too many moments that could have been dramatic in the prequels were ruined by Yoda not being able to make a coherent sentence.
It could be argued that maybe Yoda's non-"English" native language has some weird sentence structure, but consider that when he gets serious, the speech instantly corrects itself. This is definitely a topic for another thread once I have my statistics down, but I'd be interested in hearing what could be done with the prequel dialog either way.
