snooker, I had a couple of thoughts on a video you posted a few pages ago (not quite sure where it is) of a new introduction for Anakin in Watto’s shop. I like what you’ve done with it. Something I noticed watching it again is that you can hear the “door bell” sound effect and Watto uses the same greeting when he greets Qui-gon and company. Whether this was intentional or not, it appears Watto is greeting a possible customer walking in the store. If this is the case, you could really sell this idea by cutting in an altered shot of the door (with Jar Jar leaving the store) to imply either there are no customers or show a figure walking by the store. It would imply Watto’s business is not doing so well. Did that make sense? Sometimes I have a hard time describing this stuff. 😛

Another idea (in the same clip) is Anakin and Sebulba’s exchange before the pod race. I don’t know how you feel about it, but I’m not a huge fan of the words “Bantha poo doo”. You could potentially remove that whole sentence and simply have Sebulba laughing at Anakin as he walks away.

Food for thought.
