I enjoyed it a lot as well. It works very well as a fan edit. As mentioned, the minimum dialogue comes off as a strength but you also had to use a lot of action sequences instead which can be tedious. Those movies can already be tedious however so it’s not much of a criticism. I think I only lost myself a little in the action since the soundtrack is worked in so well.

I really enjoyed the intro from the maul fight to the bar and I thought including Qui Gon in Anakin’s dreams helped tie it in and make that fight relevant. From those dreams and the narrative you put together we see Anakin’s motivations simply as a need for control in his life.

I also enjoyed the clone wars montage and seeing Anakin and Obi Wan smile during their battles, giving them a little character. I personally like the idea from the clone wars animated series better as to why order 66 occurred, making the clones complex characters rather than obedient fighting machines… but for the purposes of this film, including the lines about the clones following any order and being genetically modified to be less independent does help explain their turning on the jedi later.

I would highly consider watching other edits made by you or your team, especially star wars films or films I know. It was very good.
