I’ve just been watching ROTJ as I do the prep for that movie’s focus thread, and like TPM its ending cuts between many different locations - three compared to TPM’s four. Notably it cycles between all three settings pretty quickly at times, and personally, I didn’t feel like it felt too ‘choppy’ or that it had high cognitive load like the original TPM ending does. Sometimes it only spent as little as 30 seconds on a single scene. Both of the Padmé being captured scenes total about 30 seconds, and while they don’t naturally flow back to back, I think there may be a possible reordering of shots which makes them flow into each other nicely, which might make them work as a single short (but not TOO short) scene.
