Vladius, I agree this is a great movie. I've always liked it, and many of the fixes are more to address other people's concerns. If most of us feel we don't need to change most of these issues raised by that guy, I'm totally okay with that.
Aalenfae, I think that'd be great. They definitely need some redubbing so they don't seem so childish. I don't mind the cute faces too much, if we can at least show that they have a truly dangerous side.
Ron, thanks for the anniversary well-wishes :) I see your point about the love triangle. Again, it's never something that bothered me either. Your explanation makes sense. Also, I don't much care for the celebrations throughout the galaxy either. When you read my completed script, let me know what you think, though, because I'm not sure how easily we can remove it if we cut the Force ghosts at the end and finish with the funeral pyre. However, my above comment would get around that and could leave out the celebrations, if the effects are possible
My big difficulty with your cut is separating the various stories. I know it's busy, but I don't think it's effective story-telling to separate the various climactic points. Story-wise, it makes more sense to me to keep them occurring simultaneously. That's one of my problems with Spence's version. I hope I don't offend you by saying that. But I really think that when we're done, we'll have a final product, plus several individual items. We can all piece together our own edits if we prefer it a different way. And heck, I may be in the minority in my story telling preference here, so it may end up your way anyway :)
