Perhaps this deleted scene could be used, and with some clever editing and a voice-alike for Dooku, we could have a suggestion of Anakin joining his cause rather than the Naboo? Or maybe even using clips from him speaking to the Captured Obi-wan.... Anakin pauses maybe, and Padme ends up answering for him.

Thats a scene I am hoping to find in better quality. I was toying with whether the film could be recut to make it seem that Padme and Obi Wan are travelling to Geonosis to save Anakin who was captured by Dooku. Once at the Seperatist base OW and Padme split up and Padme tries negotiating for Anakin's freedom (a simple name change in that scene). Dooku orders Padme killed too, then captures Obi Wan who was off sending a sneaky message to the jedi council. Dooku tries to make an ally of OW (adding in something like "Skywalker was more easily persuaded" followed by OW's "No, I don't believe it" line). I would even remove Dooku's reveal of Sidious, then later when the jedi council is discussing this they could be talking about the worry of Anakin slipping from the path.

Anyway after capturing the three of them the Viceroy wants them killed so play the arena scene, but before Mace arrives just have the three ride away on the reek (that was a fun lesson in masking and patience).

I don't think you would need anyone who sounds like Christopher Lee, just search high and low, the guy generally always sounds the same and there must be weeks of sound clips altogether. I spent a couple of hours trying to find him saying "beast" but it was out there for the finding.

Instead of reducing colors to simply Red/Blue... how about just splashing in some other colors in general? Give a few other Jedi Purple and make it less out of place..... maybe a yellow one here and there... they wouldn't need to be as prevalent as the blue/green... but still existent.

I strongly agree with this too.
