Hi, SSWR, I’d watched your YT videos and I agree with your thoughts on the narrative for Anakin visiting Tatooine. I’ve some ideas for the Lars homestead scene you might consider.

As Anakin and Padme walk away from the ship, dub in the (from later) line “These are good people, Padme, you’ll be safe.”

Dub [Not-3PO] saying, “It is good to see you again Master Skywalker [& other pleasantries].” (If you want to twist the knife, insert Padme’s line from Naboo, “Anakin’s not a Jedi…he’s still a Padawan learner.” JK) Possibly insert Padme’s line “I’m Padme.” Then Anakin asks to see his mother and Not-3PO directs them to follow.

Not-3PO presents the guests. Not-3PO or dubbed Owen acknowledges the step-brother relationship. I like Padme’s “I’m Padme” line originally in this place but not sure how to keep it especially with the cuts to follow.

Cut to Owen introducing Beru and then to Anakin asking, “is my mother here?”

Cliegg says, “no, she’s not,” then Anakin reaction shot, then Cliegg says come inside. Either add transition here or keep the ensuing Anakin’s dissapointes/sad reaction shot.

I think the scene needs different music to better serve the mood of Anakin’s growing anxiety/despair. Maybe different music would go toward making a brisker pace feel more purposeful as well.

Additionally, I’d want to find a way, in the next scene, to get rid of Padme only taking her cloak off when the camera pans over to her and then awkwardly pulling her chair in. It’s the little things that grate when you starting thinking about the edits.
