-Anakin no longer speaks after killing Dooku. His eyes tell the story.

^ Yes. Hayden's performance is very underated in AOTC and ROTS. I found with my edits that when I chopped out the bad lines you're left with something rather good. When Hayden isn't saying George's terrible dialogue he's fantastic... remove the worst of the dialogue and bingo!

In my edit I've left most of the evil Palpatine stuff in this scene because I wanted the audience (Those that haven't already worked it out during AOTC) to realise that Palpatine is evil. This makes Anakin more sympathetic, as I've cut it so we watch Palpatine dragging Anakin inch by inch to the dark side.

Just realised watching it again that you've cut...

"I've been looking forward to this"

... and the rest of that dialogue. I always thought that the duels in the PT didn't have enough "We meet again at last" style dialogue. I'd go so far as to say that dialogue was the most OT exchange in the whole PT. I'd be interested to know your thoughts behind why you wanted to cut these lines?
