This will give anyone interested insight into what I am trying to accomplish. At the end of the day, this is for me, but I would love thoughts. I will make it available for anyone else interested. I will take thoughts and suggestions into consideration if I think it will improve my enjoyment of the Prequels.
It is quite liberating being able to rework the story by going silent. I hope others find this an interesting option and a different take on editing the prequel trilogy. Most changes to EpII. EpIII will be edited to support this new story. EPIII has also been trimmed to exclude many things that I didn't like.
Attack of the Clones (Begins at 9:39)
Summary of Story Changes
-Obi Wan is sent to inspect the clone Army ordered by the Republic. It is known to exist by the Jedi and the Senate, and was created in anticipation of war with the separatists. Once there he is informed of a Bounty Hunter who has stolen an unaltered clone. Purpose unknown at this point.
-Anakin is on street Patrol on Coruscant, a padawan obligation.
-The Jedi Council does not approve of Anakins reckless methods. Obi-wan defends him... again.
-The two discuss this most recent event. Anakin has a surprise waiting for his friend Obi-Wan.
-Captain Typho announces the engagement of Anakin and Padme. Obi-Wan is shocked as this is forbidden by the Jedi.
-The two have a heart to heart, and Obi-wan decides to support his friend in his decision, even if it will cause difficulty with the Jedi Council.
-Palpatine has known of Anakins plans and has encouraged the wedding of the two. He is the one who suggested that it take place on Padme's home planet of Naboo.
-Obi-Wan is ordered to investigate this bounty hunter and follow the tracking device. If the Separatists learn of the Republic's Army, the Republic will lose the advantage of surprise.

-While Anakin and Padme are away, Obi-Wan discovers the threat on Geonosis. The senate declares war in light of this news in an attempt to resolve this upcoming war before it even begins.
-Padme, who has been against war from the start, returns to Coruscant furious that this has occurred without her. She should have been there to argue against it. Curiously, it happened to occur while she was away with Anakin...this had been encouraged and planned by Palpatine.
-Padme and Anakin have their first lover's quarrel. Padme against the war, Anakin believing that this attack is the only answer and that the Jedi are the Republics only hope.
- War!
