Revenge of the Sith was always my favorite prequel. However, I think the problems that it does have are so fundamental to the film that it’s actually very difficult to improve through editing. Anakin’s turn just isn’t convincing. Most people say it happens too quickly. The deleted scenes hardly do anything to remedy this. It’s nice to see the Senators trying to stop Palpatine, but this does little for Anakin’s arc. Since there’s no real way to slow down Anakin’s turn to the dark side, I choose to lean into the sudden turn. I did this by [REDACTED]. This makes Anakin’s actions more understandable, and it gives the title of the film new meaning.
