Completely agree with Malastrana about how Hal’s order of scenes isn’t disconnected but actually much more graceful. In Hal’s edit Anakin doesn’t tell anyone about his nightmares except Palpatines which displays his already found distrust in the Jedi. And I have recently started debating about whether the Yoda scene should be left in. Or him using a lightsaber at all for that matter. At first thought it’s actually pretty great. But as Iv thought about it, it feels like it contradicts his character. Not because it’s silly or doesn’t benefit the third act because I highly disagree. I think when watching it you get Friend vs Friend with Anakin vs obi wan who got caught up in all this crap and then the manipulator (palps) versus the leader of the manipulated (Yoda). It adds great action and tension with some great cinematically grand shots accompanied with powerful musical cues. I am questioning the scene being kept in because of Yodas character, surely not because it ruins the final climax of the prequel trilogy (which it sure as hell does the opposite)
