To answer your question, InfoDroid, the shots in particular I am referring to are Shmi at the beginning, Qui-Gon turning around in the desert, Obi-Wan, Palpatine, and Obi-Wan with the dead Qui-Gon. Too bright, too much, too revealing. I already suggested what changes to make in regards of the actual shots, which you seemed to agree with. I also just thought of a great transition: the wedding being the last shot of the dream, with Padme saying "Anakin", then repeating it as he wakes up. All that said, when using shots from other places, I would definitely darken the footage, put it through filters, and use alternate shots via reversing or utilizing and cropping the fullscreen DVD. The killing blow to Qui-Gon in particular would be served well by cropping a fullscreen shot to hide what exactly is going on.

And yes, you did provide the pseudo-psychological answer I was looking for.
