Hey Cathy, really enjoyed your edit video you previously posted where we got to hear you talk about the changes you made to a particular Anakin/Padme scene too.

Also, I would suggest instead of making a new thread for each update or request for assistance, you should just have a single thread where you can post about your edit. That way you can just make new posts in that thread, and it will be easy for other people to keep track of all of your updates as well.

EDIT: To give you some notes on your dream idea. I honestly would suggest trying to cut the initial shot of Anakin in bed, and just keep the final shot of him waking up, and see how that works.
I agree with the others that Vader, the Emperor and the Vader line need to be a lot more hidden and subtle, like as fans we will notice it, but I think there still be some ambiguity rather than just being totally obvious, especially if this was for someone hypothetically watching these movies for the first time in chronological order.

I would also suggest adding a vague/blurry shot or two of actual Tusken raiders, and maybe one of their distorted roars, and maybe those images/sounds could transform into a nightmarish Vader and his breathing. I feel like since this vision is about his mother, it definitely should be more focused on what has happened to her, but with some small hints towards Vader.
Also, while it doesn’t necessarily have to be the same, instead of just having the vignette around the edges, you could also try to replicate the dream effect from ROTS. Maybe if you can find some kind of smoky overlay effects, and then add a blur effect outside a circle of focus that is centerpunched on the screen. There also seems to be some sort of halo effect that distorts the colors, but I’m not sure what the best approach is to achieve that effect.
