The editing in the original film for the Vader/Kenobi duel does seem pretty weird. Seems like they just randomly cobbled together some shots of them, leading to people thinking the scene is slow and jerky. It was real eye opening seeing that if you just recut the footage in proper chronological order you end up with something that stands up fine with the other duels of the series.
I’m also a big fan of your recut for the Alderaan explosion. Would much rather watch that than the cheesy CGI explosion used in most other edits.
Thanks I need to do a bit more work on the Death Star view screen on the Alderaan destruction scene. But I have an idea for a fix.
The Kenobi and Vader Duel I will be honest on the second clash we just have some re-used shots from the first part so unfortunately I’ll probably have to cut duped shots out as It has ran out of road. In it’s absense I will attempt to add a response from Vader. The dialogue within the duel is a great part about what makes them special so perhaps I can give it more in another way and perhaps a better way to go with it.
There is going to be some good stuff coming regarding computer displays and things. Just a heads up as it’s a part that I’m looking forward to.
