"Yes, I was once a Jedi Knight the same as your father."
Fade to RotS space battle.
"I wish I'd known him."
"He was the best starpilot in the galaxy."
Anakin doing incredible maneuvers.
They get to the Invisible Hand.
"And a cunning warrior."
Anakin and Obi-Wan destroy battle droids.
"And he was a good friend."
"I sense ___ (have to replace Dooku w/something)." "And I sense a trap." "Next move?" "Spring the trap."
Fade back to present.
"Which reminds me..."
I don't know if that's how you planned on doing the flashbacks, but I think a narration of sorts would make them flow very well, especially in this instance and during Obi-Wan and Luke's talk in RotJ.
