Some consctructive critiscism:

- "You fought in the Clone Wars" is a jump-cut.
- "How did my father die" - Perhaps you need to work on this. Maybe a c/u of Kenobi to mask the lack of lip sync.
- May I also suggest that if you use the 'echoed voice' on the flash backs that you go the whole hog and colourize the flashbacks. Perhaps washed out or with a blurred edge - something to seperate them from the ANH pictures.

This is exactly what I was looking for. The jump-cut was to remove Obi-Wan's comments about Owen not "holding with your father's ideals" wanting him to stay here and not get involved, which now makes no sense in the saga. You're right, Luke's positioning is off on this, and I'll work on it to make it flow better.

"How did my father die" was a challenge because when Luke asks this he's already holding the lightsaber. I thought it would be better to move this question to before the lightsaber scene, but there are issues now with the audio and lip-sync. I'll work on some other options.

The colourization of the flashbacks was definitely something I wanted to do from the very start, but for some reason, when you add those types of effects in Womble, all of a sudden the fps rate goes waaayy down. It starts looking stuttered and jumpy. I don't know what the deal with that is.

Thank you for pointing those issues out, Jambe. I'll work on them. And I can't wait to see your Empire project completed as well.

TO COMMANDER COURAGE: I love you because you rarely agree with anything. That's why you're so valuable to this team, it pushes us to think of something better. By the way, that ROTJ radio drama stuff is GREAT! We have to use it. Is that available on CD?

Forgive me, but I didn't really care for the execution of the clip you posted. The music was too loud, for one thing. It was too fractured and didn't seem to flow musically. BUT, what I DID like was when Vader telepathically called Luke to "Come with me". That was rather creepy. I might use it.

TO MTHASLETT: We've really got to come up with a solid step-by-step plan for Luke's story arc. Because, you're right, it starts with this scene here. If we can't make it work here then eventually all the dominoes will fall.

As a side note, I'm still editing this scene. The one posted is far from a finished product so I encourage everyone to submit their ideas on how to make the scene work better. I just cobbled together another line from Obi-Wan that I'd like to insert somewhere, but I'm not sure where it'll fit. "That is the reason you were hidden from your father when you were born." I've juxtaposed this line with a shot of baby Luke being handed off to Beru, in between "he became Darth Vader" and "he's more machine now than man." I'm not sure if it's working, but it would be a nice thing for him to explain during the conversation.

And one more thing, to those of you saying "flashbacks aren't Star Wars"... Keep in mind this is an entirely new project, editing all six films, so there might be flashbacks/flashforwards through the whole thing. Anything is possible now.
