I finally saw your clip -- and I love it. Your cut of the action is much more to my taste than the previously posted version. The mix seems similarly "hot" on music though. I think the comments by Commander Courage are accurate -- the build and release of the music feels rushed, especially as the droids walk and when Han takes off. The moment when Ben dies needs a pause, I think. Some quiet for Luke to shout into. THe original cues from ANH were damn good, I always thought. It's just that for the Saga, most of your music choices are better.
Good work!

On that notion, you could always try to work the music to the point when Obi Wan chops Anakin after the flip. It pretty much dies off there in ROTS, and then you can use whatever score cue for Luke's yelling you want. In fact, it there was a longer yell from Luke, I'd start it off screen and then cut his part down a bit, so it looks like he is yelling as Obi Wan gets cut down, rather than reacting afterwards. It's pretty obvious as Vader starts to swing that Obi Wan is toast.
