Hey, don't apologize- I too was much more impressed with this clip than with your opening (although you did some interesting stuff there).
Thanks for the kind words and the critique (too much to mention here). I definitely understand your concern over the lengthy saber battle during which Anakin is MIA. I'll see what I can do.
Also, having the Emperor's lightning appear off-screen was aesthetically unappealing but necessary since I didn't have a shot to introduce it that didn't have undesirable dialogue (Emperor with ridiculously over-animated expression: "No, NO! You will die!"; never mind the fact that Mace's dialogue didn't even support such a retort). Not sure what I can do about that if anything.
It would be great to see him launch the bolts, though. My original hope was that seing the decrepit Emperor using his Force lightning would give the impression that he looked the way he did because who he really is was coming out while he used the Dark Side. If I had a shot of him frying Mace looking like the decrepit Emperor, it might work like I had hoped.
I'd be honored if you did (but only if you do all those other wonderful tweaks as well
).

Say- the general idea of that clip was very good, though.
Thanks again.
Maybe I can steal your idea to make a better sequence in my re-edit?

Perhaps I can use your cut as a base for mine when I get to it in a few months (obviously, there are some music things I'll do differently, as well as the Anakin dubbing, the purple saber rotoscoping, and etc.)...

I actually think I can use both ideas- I can do the dream as I'd envisioned, and then I can cut the sequence your way to imply that he is indeed revealing his true identity.
Glad I could contribute.

I just recently found a shot perfect for the Ep. III dream, though, so I think that'll work.

I do (at least for Episode 3). Thanks for the welcome. Glad to be a part of it.
