Trooperman,

Impressive work in that clip there. I just have a little constructive criticism.

The cameo by Ford is a GREAT idea, but I agree with C3PX. I suggest you cut it down to just one shot, preferably from a distance.

The thing that really caught me off guard was the music. Is it supposed to be ambient nightclub music, or is it "mood" music? (I don't know how else to describe it. In ANH, I would say almost all the music is mood music, like the sunset or the final battle, but the Cantina is ambient.)

The music is rather fitting, and it's a catchy tune. Especially when we see Zam walking from behind, her pace seems to match the tempo. However, I thought the music was a little too "earthy". It sounds like it came from a French movie from the 60s or 70s.

If the music is supposed to be ambient, I suggest you alter it a bit (the way Ben Burt clipped some of the frequencies for the ANH Cantina music). Plus, have it start (or be in progress) at the Jedi's entrance to the club, not a few seconds later.

If this is mood music, then that's certainly your creative decision. I haven't seen the rest of the movie to put this scene in context. But it's not something I'd expect to be in a Star Wars movie.

But hey, that's just me
