Sounds very good. But I'm a little worried then that AotC might lose some key scenes then. Though I understand it is necessary to enforce menace, it being as flimsy as it is. How do you propose to rearrange AotC with this in mind?

Perhaps this would be too radical, but maybe you could consider making this into a duology? We've all felt at one point or another that it would be wiser to simply take the good bits we have, and discard the dead weight so we can at least make one or two good movies. What if you split the AotC up to enhance the other two?

Your PT duology idea sounds interesting Akratus. I personally prefer to stick with the 'trilogy' approach.

The general idea for my AoTC edit is that the war btwn the Republic and the Separatists has already begun. I'm still working out the details. One thing's for sure, there won't be any Kamino/clone army mystery. Obi Wan goes to Kamino to inspect the next batch of soldiers. The Anakin-Padme romance will of course be trimmed and toned down. The focus of the edit will be on Anakin and the events that trigger his fall (i.e his conflict between his feelings for Padme and his duty as a Jedi, the death of his mother...)
