Minor nitpicks with the crawl:
It seems a little repetitive - the rebel alliance is already doomed, but the death star will spell certain doom, and two words are in all caps (Death Star and Sullust, which doesn't seem as important)

Coruscant is there to bring everything full circle. If we're counting on the prequels being there or heck even the Thrawn books, then Coruscant is where large things happen. It wouldn't be to stop the riots, it would be a show of force that would cleanly remove a large amount of the galaxy's population, which would just make things simpler for the Empire. The "riots" might also be just full-on rebel control of the planet.

The DSII is so massive that all the Imperial aristocracy could live there and just screw everyone else. Blowing up Coruscant is the next step up from blowing up Alderaan, just as the DSII is the next step up from the DS.  The original drafts of this movie had things taking place on Coruscant, or Had Abaddon as it was known at the time. It also had Luke using Yoda's spirit as a literal shield, so take it as you will.

I don't have any personal stake in the Coruscant idea either way, but I wanted to explain it to people like Aalenfae who might work on it.

I really like that idea. It makes sense, too. Vader's samurai mask is a tool of intimidation. It's only when he's severely damaged that he needs the practical applications of the suit, which can be put with any old space helmet.

I think the idea with Coruscant was to have Endor be a moon of Coruscant where it was built in secret, with the DSII prepping to blow up Coruscant as retaliation for the riots. That way everything is close by, and Luke can still look out the window and see the fighting.

I actually like the music there. It's one of my favorite parts in the soundtrack.

edit: nevermind, I meant the part where they're crashing :V

1. The films are the highest canon.
2. We are editing the films.
3. Therefore, we make the canon!

Not necessarily. What about after "time to abandon ship?"

I really like it.
One possible idea you could take from the apparently-sinking ship of the Kcutter's edit:
The glass to the bridge breaks in an explosion from one of the cannons hitting the ship, knocking Grievous out. Gives him a chance to do something cool and establish that he's Jedi-like with his grappling hook.

Much to my chagrin.

It's situational comedy. It's funny because of what they are, there's not really any reason to play it up.

The Fox Copyright brigade gobbled up the last half of them. :(

Or maybe play up that he's going there to execute him and he doesn't want witnesses? Either way works.

I really like the idea of him being the only one there, but it makes more sense for him to bring help. You could establish somehow that this is the best way, but I'm not sure of what way to do that.

I'm pretty excited for it. Seciors did a good job with Ep I.

I had no idea why Sifo Dyas wasn't Qui Gon. "He was killed almost 10 years ago." Hmmm, following the storytelling rule of show, don't tell, who did we see get killed ten years ago? Then Dooku says he's Qui Gon's master, that Qui Gon would have joined him - why is it some no-name Jedi?

You might be joking, but on the SomethingAwful forums there are loads of people who genuinely believe that was the intention of naming him that all along.

It sounds silly, but it's difficult to move or use footage from one PT movie to another because Obi Wan and Anakin both change their hair a lot.

Is there a way to digitally remove it? Any movies with Ewan McGregor in them where someone tells him to get a haircut?

Changing R2's "laughing" to a whimper would go a long way.

Probably not, but that might be a good reason for him to start on Tatooine.

It's a fictional universe. There is absolutely nothing that says that you can't do it that way, and it makes sense to enact these changes in the interest of improving the story.

3PO and R2 being there doesn't mean they're getting the spotlight or anything, but they should have a reason to be there. They're not that funny, so they can't serve their intended purpose of comic relief.

On the other hand, if it's symbolic and kind of sad, it fits with the tone of the end of the PT and mirrors the main events of the story.

An interesting way of doing it would be to make 3PO into his original conception, a car salesman kind of guy. He'd have his own small character arc where he learns to not be such a jerk, and then in the interest of protecting secrets, he agrees to have his memory wiped.

It would be cool to have a scene where Palpatine offs Mas Amedda, either by himself or with the clones.
"No room for blue skins."

They're rough and course and they get everywhere.

I had this thought as well. It seems that whenever there should be people, they're missing.

For example, the closest analogue for the Jedi Temple "briefing room" (as far as placement of objects, the hologram, etc.) set in ROTS is the ROTJ scene where the rebels plan the attack on the Death Star 2. 

Even though you're focused on just a few people and there are aliens present, it feels like the room is full of people because of all the extras. There's also minor characters like Mon Mothma and General Madine, who would almost definitely have their roles filled by aliens if they were in the prequels.

In a scene that only focuses on two people, Anakin and Obi Wan, it's completely empty other than them. Even though there was supposedly a war briefing that Anakin missed, Obi Wan is the only person there left to turn off the hologram projector. There are Jedi seen in your peripheral vision, but it doesn't feel like the two characters are a part of a larger movement. Between the dialogue taking place on couches and the intrigue taking place in empty rooms, it sucks the warmth out of the movie.

I wouldn't necessarily remove aliens, because it makes sense that the Empire would be xenophobic and try to get rid of them, leading to a more human universe. It's definitely a good idea to add people, though.

I was thinking about it and Battlestar Galactica, both old and new, would be really good for space battles. It was based on the premise of being a Star Wars clone to begin with.

I like the camo because it makes sense and looks cool. On the other hand, it makes no sense, because they're not fighting in trees. All of the troops are out in the open on a beach with white sand that makes them stand out.

If it takes too much work, then leave them be, but otherwise, it's a good way to put the OT back in.
