That is the only way I can imagine sorting it for ANY edit. My idea is not specific to Ady's (though this is a Revisited thread).
You simply cannot get around the slave thing without either ignoring how retarded it is, or filming enough extra material that Anakin isn't a slave in the first place and for that matter we might never see or hear about Shmi (what a fucking stupid name) at all.
Lotta aggression here. XD
Listen, I have no problem with her being a slave, the issue for me is that Anakin never frees her, either on or off camera. So does anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish that?
Well ridiculous plot-holes make me angry :p
Honestly, short of an editor redubbing Hayden's lines with a new voice actor and adding a line where he discusses having freed his mother (not my favourite approach as it's incredibly contrived), I don't know how else it can be accomplished.
I've done extensive work on my AOTC edit and I've still not released it after YEARS because it's still not good enough. It is inherently unfixable without adding whole new sequences to fill the gaps left over once you cut out what doesn't work or make sense (most of the film).
The other prequels are no different and have flaws that fuck up or contradict things in the other films.
So I think the reason you're not getting a different answer to your question is that there isn't one! Or at least no one here has thought of one yet ;)
