I watched this edit last week, and quite enjoyed it. Especially technically, this was one of the better edits I've seen. It flows smoothly, and the cuts you made are pretty much invisible.

The restructuring of the plot was interesting, and while I get why you included the Birth of the Rebellion scenes, they don't really add that much. This is not because of your edit, but because of the content of the scenes. The storyline ends with Padme presenting a petition, which gets shot down immediately by Palpatine. The storyline just fizzles out. I've always felt this thread needed another scene after Palpatine declares himself Emperor, where Bail, Padme and Mon Mothma realize their efforts to solve things politically have been for nothing, and decide to continue their rebellion in secret.

I'm curious as to why you moved the scene of Anakin's nightmare to a later point in the movie. You've cut this particular storyline down so it's no longer his main motivation, but hints of it still survive throughout your edit. In this edit, I'm not really sure why Anakin turned. In the original version of the film, Anakin's motivation is clear: gain power to save Padme, and he feels this quest is being frustrated by the Jedi, which is what Palpatine feeds on. The title of your edit is very well chosen for what you're trying to do, but I just don't think the material is there.

Anyway, just my two cents. I enjoyed this edit very much, especially because it made me look at the existing material in a different way. You didn't just chip away at the edges, but try to tell a whole different story. I will seek out your previous edits as well!
