How are you handling Jango.... To me, he is the biggest issue outside of Dooku flat out telling Obi-Wan about Sidious.

That's a really broad complaint. I've definitely made changes within the scenes that Jango exists, but the problems I fixed with him were in context of the scenes as I saw them as opposed to trying to thematically alter his character (like making Anakin not be a petulant whiner, or Obi-Wan a condescending a-hole)

So:

I cut him talking to Zam, now his first appearance is flying away via jet-pack.

I cut out Boba being a clone. Now he's just his son.

I trimmed the conversation with Obi-Wan, cutting out the terrible bits of dialog (I'm just a simple man...)

Fight on the landing platform follows Phantom Editor's edit.

Asteroid chase is kept but trimmed.

The Reek is no longer involved in his demise.

I hope you didn't think I was complaining about your edit. That wasn't my intention. Just voicing one of my plot issues with Jango. The problem for me is not Jango working with the Separatists, it's Jango working with the Separatists and being connected to Kamino. If I were the one investigating this whole situation, Jango would be my star interrogation. I would make him the priority as he is the template for the clones that the republic bought, AND is clearly working with Dooku. I would have too many questions, and Obi-Wan or the Jedi ignore this issue completely. It's a major issue to me.
