I was curious though, how people would feel about the battle simply being moved to right after QuiGon and Obiwan hook up with Jar Jar. I could cut Jar Jar from the battle and make it look like the Gungans lose.

Interesting. Personally I think that would probably be the best place for the battle but I am neutral as to whether or not it should be included. If it is included, Jar Jar could appear as somewhat of a deserter and the Trade Federation would appear more vicious.

Out of curiosity, what did you think of my reorganized climax idea?
