Brief Synopsis:
Main changes include the addition of several deleted scenes to expand Padme's presence, the silly antics of R2 & 3PO are removed from the factory and arena battle, and a few of Ani's whiniest/creepiest moments are removed (but I kept in all the cringe romance).
Intention:
As my appreciation of the prequels has grown, along with my editing skills, I decided it was time to edit them.

This is a good edit of Attack of the Clones, almost like an extended version of Ebumms' version of the film. It almost counts as an Extended Edition with the excellent deleted scenes re-inserted, but eagle-eyes will notice nips and tucks here and there. The cringe star-crossed lovers Lucas romance is here but Anakin's creep factor is turned down just enough so that one could still see why Padme might fall for him. As per the almost universal directive among fan editors, Threepio is again removed from the final battle. This version falls between the lines of Ebumms' and DsqrD's edits but doesn't go quite as far as Hal9000's.
