Prequel double feature? 90 minutes each? Reduced time and reworked?

Eliminating the "Ani on The Council" subplot would save time. He could go to see Palpatine and cut it off soon after "I need your help" Change dialogue a little. Skip the Council stuff. Distant shots of them walking through the temple corridor and then start at "I'm on your side- I didn't want to put you in this position. Maybe after changing Ani's "AND?!" to "What?". He's just a spy. Focus most of the concern on saving Padme.

As much as I'd hate to lose the very beautiful night cityscape after the nightmare, the scene could be cut off just after he wakes. Maybe keep a quick shot of him brooding in front of the city and Padme asking what's wrong.

The nightmare vision whem Padme is in the black dress could be moved to the bedroom. The vision then Ani looking out the window wincing then "I found a way..."

Still trying to figure out these viewing order possibilities. 6-90, 12-45? Did I just pull so many one-eighties that I've come full circle? 45 12 36? 12 34 56?
