Yeah, the line about creating life is back, along with one about cheating death as Vader is pronounced. I figure if Palpatine plays into TROS, even if only briefly, it’ll be thematically relevant.

I don’t really care for the way the line has to sound in Ep1 of “It’s possible he was conceived by the [Force].” It doesn’t seem seamless to my ears, though I bet L8wrtr did as well as anyone could with the idea. He has no father, and that’s all that’s important. I do not believe Palpatine ‘fathered’ Anakin; The Force did, even if partially in response to the shenanigans the Sith were cooking up. See Darth Plagueia in your local bookstore.

I think the first seeds of rebellion scene almost has to be placed where I have, due to the lighting and time of day. It’s late morning, not approaching sunset as the Anakin-Obi walk ‘n talk or traffic scenes. Even so, it feels more natural than breaking up the latter two scenes mentioned. My opinion; there’s several edits that have placed the scene in both spots.

I’m not sure about Yoda and Qui-Gon… the scene would need new scoring to be extended. The reaction shot of Yoda opens his eyes seems to suggest surprise, and it may be a little awkward to have him respond verbally to Qui-Gon prior.
