I’ve decided on what to do with Padme’s death. Obi-Wan’s “She’s dying?!” will be moved to before the droid speaks, and after that is the Labyrinth of Evil version of the droid’s diagnosis in which he says “She has sustained severe injuries, we have no idea how long she will last. We are preparing to deliver the babies”. Padme still dies, as I think this is an important part of Vader’s complete turn to the dark side. IMO if Padme survived I think she would’ve tried to turn Anakin back to the light. But this way she dies due to the combination of the force choke, childbirth, and the emotional stress of losing everything she had fought for her whole life, rather then just saying “She doesn’t have any injuries, but she’s lost the will to live.”

Is there anybody who would be able to help out with something in the VFX arena? Someone did a redo of the scene of Anakin killing Shaak-Ti (which I’m using to replace the youngling scene) in which they added the lightsaber burn mark and enhanced the saber effects, but unfortunately the quality is very low. Thankfully Bobson Dugnutt has done an HD version of the scene, but with no enhanced effects. Would someone be able to do something like this for me with Dugnutt’s HD version?
