why not put in 'Let's get ready to Rumble' when Luke get's in with the Rancour

You, Sir, are a GENIUS!!! Someone get on this! Place it real subtle like, but up front enough to be able to make it out.

I've always thought that Anakin needed to actively save the day rather than bumbling it, he needs to get the surge of emotion and rise to the occasion, to be a child thrust into the adult world (and the damage that causes his psyche) he also needs to enjoy the power of it a little bit - he will always struggle with the love of the power and trying to do what is right.


In a related thought of mine, I've always thought, if possible, it would be neat to somehow paint out the magnet-hook thing Anakin uses during the pod-race to grab that loose cable. If it could be painted out so that only his extended hand is all that is seen, it could look like he is using the force to pull the cable back in. This would show Anakin has already developed some powers. After all, they do stress that he is the only human (on the entire planet, apparently) that can even pod-race, so obviously he already has some control of the force. It would be kind of neat to see him with a little more ability so that later on in the movie any edits during the space battle might work a little better; in that it would show he had enough control of the force to jump in a starfighter and blow up that Federation Donut by choice rather then by luck.

Make sense? If this has already been thought of or suggested in a similar project then please disregard. As far as I can recall I do not remember seeing this idea any place else.

Anyway, it would probably be too difficult to pull off, or to make it look exactly right. I know I couldn't do it. However, I just can't help but thinking how cool it would be to see him reach out his hand and use the force to reel that cable in each time I watch that scene. Lucas should have done it that way in the first place. Oh well, it's just another example of a wasted opportunity so prevalent in TPM as to cause this to probably be the most fan-edited movie out there.
