Keep this up and you just might.
Aboout Anikan's vision in Padme's apartment, I have tried just using the dream part up until the part where Anikan comes out of the dream and lowers the data pad then wiping to another scene before he looks up at Padme'.

How does that seem to work? What throws me off is that Anakin had just been with Obi-Wan, and they shared a lot of scene time with the Council and Farewell scenes. There never seemed to be a cinematic hint that Obi-Wan might be visiting Padme without Anakin's knowledge.

Not to mention the fact that the vision doesn't seem to be tied well visually to Anakin siting on the couch in Padme's apartment. Until then, Anakin's visions had only been in his dreams (right?). This new development should have been made important with a close-up on Anakin's eyes maybe.



I agree that the vision in Padme's apartment is kind of disjointed from the scene it is in compared to the other visions.

And about when Obi-Wan took time to visit Padme. This was a storyline that was filmed but got cut. In a deleted scene Obi-Wan visits Padme and talks to her about Anikan. He discusses his concerns about Anikan's growing anger and frustration and how Anikan is changing and Obi-Wan asks her if she will talk to Ankan and try to figure out what is going on with him. Then Palpatine later on tells Anikan of Obi-wan's frequent visits to Padme's apartment, and tells Anikan that she is working with the Jedi and can not be trusted. This turns Anikan against Padme, and causes him to not trust her. But George felt this storyline was not as important as Anikan's dreams being the reason why he turns so he cut the entire subplot. You can see footage of the deleted scene of Obi-Wan visiting Padme in the production diaries on disc 2 of the ROTS dvd.
