"If your going to add a part where he talks about giving his lightsaber to his son. I think it would have to go like this[I wrote this a while ago]:

The dream Anakin wakes up rest of the events up to Hayden saying "It's just a dream"

Anakin walks over to where his lightsaber is
Anakin: I want him to have this. I want him to become a Jedi.
Padme: Him? Why do you think it's a boy?
Anakin: He was in my dream.
Padme: Now how could that be a bad dream?
Anakin: There was something else ... You die in childbirth. [rest of scene plays out]
"

That would work in some sense...except that I don't think Anakin was expecting to die...or join the darkside, or be away from his child in any sense. It might make more sense if he said that he wanted his son to be a Jedi or something...but that wouldn't really be lightsaber-specific. I think the best and easiest way to take care of that is to just do what I did and replace "Your father" with "I". And when you think about it, it makes a lot more sense. Little things like this are what makes the saga feel more consistent and complete, just like Battlewars said.

I was also thinking of another picky idea to put on my site, and I wanna get some feedback on it first. In ANH Han Solo says, "I expect to be well paid. I'm in it for the money." What if...we reversed those two lines? I think it would make a lot more sense and go much better with the conversation. Check it out:

HAN: I'm not in this for your revolution and I'm not it for you, princess. I'm in it for the money and I expect to be well paid.

LEIA: If money is all that you love, then that's what you'll receive.

I think it works pretty well...any thoughts?
