Love your revised flipper shot - the extra detail really makes it come alive (er if a recently severed arm can be called alive... and if it is.... RUN!!!).
However.... I loved ur mock up of the human arm even more - it's alot more shocking (like the skeletons of Beru and Owen) and brings a slightly more 'adult' edge to the film, and I think will truly put YOUR stamp on this edit. OK according to canon it's Pondu's arm that is loped off, but from watching the film only and the way it is edited the case can be made for it being Dr Ugly's arm instead, being as he's the closest etc.
Just my £2 worth.
