Yeah, this is a pretty great edit, it actually managed to remain compelling throughout. I still think some of the mindless action sequences (such as Obi-wan chasing Grevious with a lizard) could be cut without much problem, and the flashbacks sometimes cause more confusion than anything. I think a more streamlined and chronological version would be better, though I do think it would add to the narrative if a few flashbacks to Anakin’s childhood remained near the end of the film. Also, not sure why midichlorians were left in.

I really liked Maul turning into Grevious, it would be brilliant if it was better executed. I also loved the line near the end where Anakin shares with Obi-wan his final vision. It finally brings the saga full circle without feeling shoehorned in.
