I have finished to watch your Episode I- Army of the Republic. It’s very cool. A little bit too long and too loaded with (repetitive) action sequences but it works, even with so many subplots going one (it’s so dense). Not very convinced by the 99 subplot by the way, it’s really forced/fake emotivity around this character. Some transitions seem rought but I don’t think you could do better with the original material. Just some weird frame-rate issues before and after each transition. Less wipes could be a solution I guess.

I’m more puzzled about the choice you’ve made for the following episodes though. Bane and “children of the Force” plots are very weak in the tvseries (I’ll see if you’ve managed to improve them), as well as the “parasite” thing and “Anakin being jealous” plots you seem to have based your Episode IV edit on. Cool material such as the “R2D2 centric” double episode does not seem to be part of your plans.

However I’m very interested by your upcoming take on the Maul and Ventress plots. There is something quite awesome to achieve with that. I also hope you’ll find a way to put every Tarkin material within the very same movie feature (maybe Episode 9 ?).

Anyway, it’s overall a very good work you’ve done so far. We just don’t share the exact same tastes about this tvseries, 'cause I’m more critical of the show than you are.

Episode 9 which will comprise the order 66 and Sifo Dyas arcs

Hum… If I may: these story arcs are very weak in the tvseries, but if you intend to keep them you should do you Episode 8 with this material and keep Episode 9 to end with Ahsoka leaving the Order. It would emphasize even more why Anakin is already in deep mistrust with the Order when ROTS begins.
