All these fan editors' tastes and ideas seem to conflict with each other. This one likes this, but doesn't like that. This one likes that, but doesn't like this. It's getting a bit sickening.

Remove Kamino entirely? How does this help the film?

Wow!

I can see removing silly dialogue, or cutting out worthless scenes that would make the movie better, but to take out scenes that are good regardless if they're unimportant is just rediculous. I mean, why bother gutting a movie if you're left with only half the film? What's the point?

For me (And several others) Kamino complicates the story. Jango Fett is the template for the clones, he's also involved in the attempted assassination (AKA working for Dooku) All these things should be major revelations to the Jedi for them to do further investigation... WHICH THEY NEVER DO! They don't even address the obvious question that someone in the senate might very well be in league with Dooku. There is also the scene where Yoda tells Windu that they shouldn't inform the senate of their diminished powers which would have been a good idea as that would make everyone realize that SOMEONE in the senate is a dark Jedi who is diminishing the powers of the Jedi which makes Yoda look stupid. Anyone think of Yoda as stupid in ESB? No one? Me either.

So, yes in my opinion losing Kamino helps remove all that stupid confusion. And yes it's true in results in a very short movie, but it's a testimony of how broken AOTC is as a narrative. BUt there are some which has been mentioned that would like to do a combination of the best elements of the prequel trilogy which i believe could be done well with careful planning.
