You’ve had some good ideas lately Eddie!
After watching your test for the climax, I do kind of see the value of having a little moment where Anakin could potentially “pull it together” and turn his ship back on. Watching it again, I’m not sure how you could make such a moment where Qui-Gon could commune with him through the Force, or have Anakin think about Qui-Gon’s words.
I like the thought about the droidekas line, too. I don’t think I’ve heard anyone suggest doing that before.
