It took awhile to figure out exactly how it was going to work, but it's incredibly powerful (and suspenseful) now. All accomplished without any Force lightning, any rocks being thrown, or Yoda bouncing around with a lightsaber. And, I've cut out all of Yoda's ridiculous facial expressions and hand movements while lifting the pillar, in keeping with his teachings in ESB ("Size matters not"). I'm confident that the "old" George Lucas would like this sequence

This is very exciting to hear. This is one of my most hated scenes from the movie, and I'm very interested to see how you've improved it (not that it would take much to improve it.)
