And here’s an attempt to blend the two scenes of Padmé captured into one.

Best option seems to be to bridge them with a reaction shot of Gunray looking at the door, as an SFX of the door opening plays, then cut to Padmé being marched in. There’s less available footage than I thought, so I cropped this bridging shot from a later longer shot of her marching in from another angle. This bridging shot is cropped from a quarter of that shot’s frame, but you could get it to 1080p since there’s a 2160p source available.

Failing that, you could maybe use an upscaled and colour corrected shot from a cut scene - there’s one with Gunray and the other Neimoidian staring, which is useful.

But ideally, I think a better shot of Nute and the other guy standing in another location, would be composited onto a suitable background plate.

The music here I think is fine? But it’d probably be nice to find a smoother single track to carry you through this whole section.

Anyway, what this would achieve if it works would be removing the main criticism of this attempt at the ending sequence, which was that the two short Padmé scenes both felt too brief.
