People are split. I think I might actually just leave the scene as is but with some of the Sith Whispers and add a subtle, unsettling ambience to the background, to truly play on the original tone of the scene. I coukd add a subtle dark deeds upon the initial walk towards Obi-Wan as well, almost like a shadowy whisper in the background, if requested, but for now this would be preferable for the overall purpose of this edit.

It is such a crucial moment in the series - the first time we see Vader back - that it is the moment most subject for fan edit flaws probably in the whole film/series because of it, and also definitely the scene most people have the strongest opinions about. Sometimes when people are mixed it might just be better to leave the scene as is, unless I would want to go radical (which I don’t, for this edit).

And for those who like the Piano Theme, it might find a better place later on.

I think to keep the edit feeling as organic as possible, leaving this very scene alone and perhaps playing with subtle nods to Dark Deeds later on when he is fighting Obi-Wan is the way to go.
