Hello there!
I just recently stumbled upon this site in my curiosity of how other SW fans try to tackle their own way to 'fix' SW:ROTS, in the likes of how Andywan edits the OT.
I must say Aalenfae, after reading all these pages, I am really amazed so far with your work, and intrigued with the debate going on! I admit, at first, I didn't like the color change of Anakin's Jedi Star-fighter, being that in the old Clone Wars cartoon (non CGI version), that ship was always yellow (even at the end of the cartoon where then Epi III takes over of course) and just too accustomed to it being yellow, but your explanation of why you changed it, I guess I can live it, heh :P
People's take on Padmae, hm tough one, all I can say is that the Tantive IV goes straight to Alderean and Padmae gives birth on the ship. Then Kenobi explains how it's dangerous for the twins to stay together, and thus of course Kenobi offers to take the boy to Tatooine, and we can avoid the discussion of adopting Leia as we can assume Bail and his wife continue the raising of Leia when Padmae dies off. (Bits and pieces of course came from this thread already, just voicing my favor in early brought up suggestions).
I myself have been thinking up various scenarios of how SW:ROTS could be tweaked in a way that's not drastic/radical.
Not sure if you already addressed it (if you did, my apologizes), but how do you plan going on about Vader's assembly and his "Noooo" scream scene?
If you haven't put much thought into it, I would like to share my vision of that scene. The motive behind this new dialogue is that in my view, Vader would feel even greater hatred toward Kenobi for putting him in that kind of state (enduring the pain and having to be put into a mechanical suit), I mean, if you were in that kind of pain, wouldn't you be thinking of the person who put you in that position?
...Lord Vader rises from his operation table. Emperor Sidious walks closer to his new apprentice.
Sidious: "Can you hear me?"
Vader: "Yes, Master" (or whatever he said in the movie)
Sidious: "Excellent" Sidious with two low waving hand motions, he uses the Force to release Vader's wrist restraints. Vader freed, the new Dark Lord clinches both his fists and examines them. He feels the Dark Force Flowing through him stronger than before.
Vader: "I still sense my treacherous friend, Obi-Wan, alive"
Sidious: "Ah yes, Kenobi" with emphasis on Kenobi, "You will cross paths with him soon enough and destroy him! Come, I have even greater news, I have our clones in pursuit of Master Yoda who will not survive."
Vader: "Our conquest to galatic peace will be a smooth transition once all hidden Jedi are extinct, including Kenobi."
Sidious: "You will be reassured," as the two walked out of the building and onto a docking bay where a shuttle awaits them, "that we'll have no issues with that!" The Emperor chuckles his demonic laugh as the two board the shuttle (kind of laugh when Sidious and Vader are walking in hanger of the second Death Star)
Sketchy idea I have been thinking about, at best, I hope it gives you something to think about. (Thought about bringing up my idea since you had mentioned buying clothes and such, so why not do a scene of Sidious and Vader walking together? It would require a lot of work though...)
Anyway, this scene of course hints that Sidious hints at the super weapon, the Death Star.
