I agree that the sentence from Mace Windu is helpful for introducing the scene. But for me the problem with putting the training after Palpatines Office is:
- Does Anakin know in this scene that he will meet Padmé again? It seems not.
- The transition to the next scene (meet Padme) is too fast for me. From no-mercy-Anakin to “I-am-so-nervos-Annie” without a break or another scene between.
For me its ok to break with some strict Star Wars orders… every film is doing this from a certain point of view.
In another way the Anakin&Kenobi-Training is a nice forecast for Palptine & Mace dialog.
It also seems strange that Anakin would sense Padme’s distress and not even comment on it.
Show, don’t tell 😃 Maybe he is not sure what he is sensing, but he feel something.
