I opened the document to some of my favorite parts and read them to the boys. They gave all of the appropriate reactions. They loved it when Amidala said "Help me, Obi-wan Kenobi; you're my only hope." They liked the idea that the Clone Wars were about clones that were replacing people and being bred as armies to attack planets in the Republic. Connor thought it was good that we had Anakin return to Tatooine to free the slaves as he had promised in the first movie. Both boys liked Nerez, our villainess (to whom the later-created Ventress from the Clone Wars cartoon series bears a certain resemblance--including dual-wielding lightsabers; my villainess predates her by about three years) and reacted appropriately when she taunted Anakin after killing his mother.
The boys both thought it was a good idea that we had Anakin use the nickname "Old Man" for Obi-wan after I explained that it makes the line from the original movie "Your powers have grown weak, old man" have a deeper meaning. They liked that we had a dance scene as part of Anakin and Amidala falling in love (there's no bizarre "Jedi can't marry" rule in our version). They thought the ending, with an audience filled with Sith followers chanting "Vader! Vader!" as the screen goes to black was a nice touch.
However, the scene that we discussed the most was the point where Palpatine shows the audience that he is trying to twist Anakin to the Dark Side. I'm particularly proud of this scene. Anakin had just been raised to the rank of Jedi Knight even though he had recently dipped briefly into the Dark Side when he tried to get revenge on Nerez after she killed his mother (Nerez managed to escape). This is a bit long, but I feel it is worth it. The entire script (pardon the formatting issues) can be found here.
PALPATINE: How did the proceedings go?
ANAKIN: They raised me to Jedi Knight.
PALPATINE: They should not have. [There is some anger in his tone, all the more menacing since he does not raise his voice.] What you did was beyond dangerous.
ANAKIN: Chancellor?
PALPATINE: Perhaps the Council was correct in not trusting you. You have no control and are dangerous because of it. You lashed out wildly in anger as no Jedi should. Can you not see that path leads to evil?
ANAKIN: [Deeply disturbed.] She died because I couldn’t save her. I couldn’t think of anything except striking back.
[PALPATINE moves forward and puts a hand on Anakin in a fatherly manner.]
PALPATINE: Your hatred can consume and destroy you. You must not let your emotions take control. [Pause for emphasis.] You must take control of them. You must learn to take your anger and concentrate it, to sharpen your hatred to a keen edge which you can use. Your emotions are a tool, and a powerful one. With them you can accomplish anything.
ANAKIN: [He seems caught in the emotion of Palpatine’s speech, but he stops himself and shakes his head.] I can feel that power. He returns Palpatine’s gaze. But none of the Jedi, [He realizes that he is now a Jedi] . . . of the other Jedi, have made any mention of this "anger, fear, aggression" are tools of evil and must be avoided at all costs.
PALPATINE: That is an effective mantra for the ignorant and the weak. It keeps them safe from themselves. The dark side is not evil. [He has thought of an example.] Can you stop yourself from hating? From becoming angry? From laughing? [He smiles widely.] From loving? [A pause.] Of course not--these emotions are all a part of you, a part of each of us. Just as the Force is in each of us. The Council knows this to be the truth.
ANAKIN: [Introspective.] They hide this from me because they fear me.
PALPATINE: And well they should. The dark path is dangerous, and not for the weak. One must ride the razor’s edge to survive. If you allow your emotions to carry you away, you will be lost forever. Focus. Focus is needed.
[PALPATINE walks to a window and looks out, he is smiling when Skywalker cannot see him.]
PALPATINE: I understand the council’s hesitation, but you are the chosen one. You, of all Jedi, must know the true nature of the Force. That is why I have trained you in secret.
[PALPATINE turns back to Anakin. His face regal.]
PALPATINE: You have a grand destiny ahead of you. [Pause.] I have foreseen it.
