Machete most certainly. It's the most logical way to watch the movies and no ones edited it for that yet. Also, no offense, but the "keeping the secret" thing is one of the stupidest ideas ever for thousands of ways that I've gotten into too many times elsewhere.

So definitely go with machete. And why not have the mirroring as well? I've always loved the mirrors that Lucas put in, and I'd love to see a restructuring based on that concept.

Seriously, this sounds like just about the coolest PT edits.

And that's one of the striving reasons for me to go to Machette. Probably everyone who is going to see these edits knows Anakin is Luke's father and Vader, what's the point?

But here's where the problem is: Anakin's fall to the dark side. The movie had Padme dieing childbirth plot which is stupid. And then Palpatine manipulating Anakin, makes Anakin like some complete idiot who's just his pawn. He even doesn't freaking kill him when Palpatine reveals he is a sith! I'm honest to say, I still have no clue how to get Anakin to be seduced by the dark side, not out of paranoia and manipulation. I want the audience to understand Anakin, but not be with him. I want the audience to feel sad for Anakin for falling away, not mad at him. (that's how Obi-wan felt). If I keep the secret in a certain way, I can just leave his fall to be more of a mystery. I'm sure there are ways, I'm just lost here.

The mirroring probably could still be kept in machette. The plot's are still different enough to distinguish. And this will certainly, let me keep the same great feel of the originals.

Oh, and thanks. I know these edits sounds so conceptual at the moment, but I can assure you and everyone else that I am hard at work on them.
