      Thats the whole point, right? To trim all the fat while leaving the actual story & dialogue? When an actor performs in a play/movie/TV show, they dont read out the stage directions.
      But yeah, it is a nice attention to detail. Makes me wish someone would just fully animate the whole kit & kaboodle like this. Thats what I want. Not an animated OR live action adaptation of this story OR a graphic novel retelling of this story, I just want the actual original podcast's audio to be fully animated while also doing what you said, cutting out all the parts where they roll dice & say "I do" etc and just ANIMATE them actually doing that stuff. The whole story from episode 1 to 60-whatever it was. Is that too much to ask?!
      >sigh< Yes, I know full well that is FAR too much to ask... ;_;

Another thing that's *perfect* about this is the way you cut out narration and added animation to fill in the gap, it really added a lot to the flow of the scene and was incredibly enjoyable. And one last thing, your Taako is flawless and almost exactly how I see him too.
