Ok, I've been absent. I've been reading all of this, but my Iphone wouldn't allow me to respond so I'm just now getting to this.
My 2 cents so far.
Flickering lights: I love it! I do agree with another poster in that it should be dark while he cuts down all the Jedi, and then have them flicker back on as he faces Mace. It would give the scene much more menace.
Dooku as a Rogue: I think I said this somewhere, but I'll say it again... I used to be on the "Make Dooku a Rogue Jedi" bandwagon, but the problem is there is no payoff. Nothing happens with it. It never comes up in ROTS. However, I think THIS could make things interesting. I always felt the SW prequels needed some form of a twist, so how about in AOTC making Dooku appear as a rogue Jedi with a green saber or blue, or whatever.... And the audience thinking he's just a guy trying to form his own government because he realizes a dark jedi is in office. Then at the end, keep the scene where he meet Sidious and then POW, the audience realizes he was in league with the dark lord to create Palpatine's war.
Anyway, something to try.
Bob. Wow. Keep up the amazing work. I'm here if you need me.
