Antilles:
Yeah, I tried to keep TC-14, with her line about the Jedi. But... it didn't make sense in the context of the edit. Maybe I can include her footage later in the movie (as I'll be redubbing the Neimoidians). Maybe I can give her some new lines, as well.
Strangeland:
Concerning Sifo-Dyas... I'm still on the fence. Making it Qui-Gon would be an interesting twist, but I'm not sure what it would serve (Other than make Qui-Gon's character more narratively important). I'm always open to ideas as to how to handle that sub-pot.
Dominic:
Thanks! That's quite a compliment. The whole time, I was thinking "In the first 5 minutes of ANH, it's 100% action, 0% exposition." And it's perfect that way. I was thinking TPM could be the same.
