Really good edit, as are all of HAL 9000's prequel edits. #2 is my favourite, as it improves a weaker film into a very interesting one with pretty significant changes to tone and motivations. This third film takes the strongest movie and makes changes that are solid improvements - namely Padme's survival. Anakin has better defined motivations, and making his nightmares a result of Palpatine's influence was great. Solid cut, and keeps most of what worked. My one criticism: when Windu confronts Palpatine, the edit doesn't provide as good of an explanation for Palpatine's disfigurement since the reflected lightning is cut out. Now his face just changes, and you just need to accept it. Not a major gripe, and still an easy recommendation! Watch all 3 of these cuts, and thanks to HAL for his huge efforts making Star Wars even better.
