At times, I found myself getting bogged down with the progression of the plot, and it wasn't until the end of the book that I realized what the plot actually was. This may be due to my attention span more than anything on the authors part, but it did make some parts feel clunky. After Yoda's brief and only use of his lightsaber in the whole trilogy, removed the scene where Anakin ignites his saber on a roomful of children. By cutting this, Anakin's slip toward depravity can be seen as a little more gradual. Plus my version of the trilogy does away with the idea that Jedi are harvested as infants and raised in a cult environment. The term "youngling" doesn't appear in these edits.

Sounds like this won’t be too much of a concern. Here’s what the author of Brotherhood had to say on the subject: Courtesy of Hundsdorfex, replaced shot of Taintive IV descending toward Naboo with the ship streaking through space.The events of Labyrinth of Evil are referenced in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith when Obi-Wan tells Anakin that saving his life on Cato Neimoidia does not count in the running tally of Anakin's rescues. Trimmed Grievous’ lunge that Obi-Wan does not react to. It betrays the chasm between the CGI and live elements.

Removed the first half of Grievous' line, "It is a volcanic planet. You will be safe there." Volcanic equals safe? Pinball Projectile: A particular skill of Obi-Wan's, although with the slight variation that he's deflecting the blaster bolts with his lightsaber, rather than firing them himself. Hidden, safe, the children must be kept. Until the time is right, disappear we will... Master Kenobi, wait a moment..."Blauvelt, Christian (January 6, 2012). " 'Star Wars: Darth Plagueis' excerpt".

The novel serves as a lead-in to Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, and was loosely adapted into Volume Two of the Star Wars: Clone Wars microseries. Xanatos Speed Chess: Despite his risk of exposure, Sidious not only manages to stay one step ahead of the Jedi but use their search to accelerate his own endgame. Luceno never outright says that Palpatine is Sidious, but there are many hints along the way. It’s so obvious to me in the films that Palpatine is Sidious (ignoring my knowledge of the Original Trilogy, they have the same voice!) that I sometimes get frustrated with the Prequels treating Sidious’s identity as a great mystery. It’s that guy! It’s the Chancellor! He’s been there all along!

Reinstated Obi-Wan bemoaning the fall of the Chosen One. (Formerly removed in prior versions of this fan edit, originally due to having removed the Chosen One concept altogether, then liking how it came to be anyway.) The ending of the film was great fun to work on. You’ll hear my own voice replacing that of the medical droid. His prognosis is not that she’s dying, but rather that she will survive without ever fully recovering.Still, most of the book holds up – if somewhat shakily at times – in terms of EU continuity. (Disney hasn’t told its version of Palpatine’s kidnapping yet.) One of the fun things about being a Lucas-era “Star Wars” fan is playing armchair retconner, and I have retcons for most of the oddities in this book: Unknown Maul In my mind going in, I thought maybe this edit would keep very close to the original film, only trimming and changing minor details here and there as Hal did with Episode I. Instead once again I was blown away by how many additions there were, good additions that weren't added just for the sake of it, but added much needed context missing from the original film. The humble beginnings of the Rebel Alliance, much needed scenes fleshing out Anakin and Padme's romance, Palpatine's manipulation having more spotlight thus making his corruption of Anakin more realistic, even new scenes that show us why characters go to the places they go in this movie and why.
