Interesting! One more question:

Does the battle on Geonosis come chronologically before this revised opening, or is there a flashback-structure happening? I can't quite tell from your description.

Does the face-off with Dukoo happen at the end of the movie still?

I'm sorry if I'm just not getting it. I really like the idea of starting so far in-- all the way to Geonosis? Wow.

Sorry for the confusion, I was rushing through to type.

The structure is like any other Star Wars film. The battle of Geonosis and the face-off with Dooku still happens at the end of the film. Trust me, it works.
