Synopsis:

The most important change is the relationship between Anakin and Padme. No longer is the relationship plagued by inane dialogue and half-hearted deliveries. The romance (and the movie as a whole) is now much more mature and believable. C3PO and R2D2's appearances have been greatly minimized, and certain scenes that served no purpose have been removed.

Intentions:

This edit's intention is to be a darker and less juvenile movie than the original. Since the Phantom Mending ended on a dark note, I felt that this movie should continue that foreboding atmosphere. It now serves as a fitting transition from the first to the third chapter of the prequels.

Change List:

Cut all of Corde's lines Cut Typho's bad dialogue Cut Jar Jar's lines Cut Padme comparing Anakin to a child Slimmed down Anakin and Obi-Wan's disagreement Cut Anakin whining to Jar Jar Cut Jango's conversation with Zam Cut Anakin's creeper dialogue Padme now reacts more quickly to the Kouhuns Reworked entire chase sequence. No poodoo moments, power couplings, or "witty" quips, and Anakin's jump is more believable Removed obvious cameos in the bar Cut "TELL US NOW" "Kamino System" has been added as a subtitle Cut Yoda/Obi-Wan/Mace scene Cut Padme's conversation with Jar Jar Cut Anakin whining about Obi-Wan Cut Dex's diner Cut Yoda and the Younglings Reinserted Obi-Wan/Mace deleted scene Cut Padme's scene with the Queen Cut Padme's cringe-worthy dialogue at the lake Cut Padme pulling away from Anakin during their kiss Cut meadow scene Cut dinner scene Moved the fireside scene to before the Jango scene Minimized Boba's dialogue Trimmed Watto scenen Made various cuts in the Jango/Obi-Wan chase Cut 3PO's "the maker" line for continuity Cut badly animated aliens in the separatist council Cut random "NOOOOOO" in Yoda's vision sequence Made multiple cuts in the Anakin/Padme scene on Tatooine Cut scene in Palpatine's office Cut Jar Jar nominating Palpatine Removed any trace of R2 or 3PO outside the ship Reworked droid factory sequence so that Anakin saves Padme with the force Cut "Obi-Wan's gonna kill me" Cut "truly, deeply" Cut "she seems to be on top of things" Made a TON of cuts during the whole battle sequence, including no 3PO or R2, no cringe-worthy Padme/Anakin exchanges, and an overall tightening of pace Cut "aim above the fuel cells" Cut some of the most obviously green-screened Dooku speeder bike shots Cut "we've got to get to that hangar" Trimmed Dooku attempting to kill Obi-Wan Trimmed the lightsaber light show Cut Yoda screaming like a maniac Cut most of Yoda's flips.
