No problem. Your welcome.
I think my sister actually liked Anakin. I told her she may not like him in the next movies if we watch the original films. I think you trimmed Jar Jar well to make him the “everyman” you mentioned. I think it’s easy for us to understand why he follows the jedi, his “lifedebt”, but since nearly every edit skips his banishment I still felt the need to pause to emphasise the lifedebt so my sister and dad didn’t miss why the heck this creature is tagging along lol. All in all I still think it’s better without the banishment and all his clumsiness and helps salvage the movie.
I saw on the fan edit database an edit of TPM called “the phantom mending”. It had a couple favorable reviews and sounds like it made a couple more radical edits than your installment. I was wondering if you’d seen it because I didn’t see it anywhere, or any forums about it and was curious.
EDIT: Actually I signed up for fanedit.org forums but just noticed the confirmation went to my spam folder. So I will be able to look there after the site is working.
