My question is, is it possible that the original story/screenplay was more along these lines but was edited to be disjointed? I say this because I watched the original scene again and, when R2 starts to show the Leia recording, C3PO reacts to it even though he previously says that he was shutting down.
Maybe it's been addressed in other forums or documentaries or edits, but I haven't heard about it before now. Just another thing that you notice for the first time, even after all these years...
This was indeed how the scene was originally shot (unless Adywan altered it some more), it was recut in two separate conversations for some reason... I believe it was to make the story move faster. But I too think it works better this way
I think it was restored for the first time in OCP's Deleted Magic, you may want to have a look at that one
And from the first page:
57 - Re-edited the whole “Ben’s Home” not only to fix the continuity errors but also because the conversation about the force and Luke's father is now all together and flows better instead of being split into 2 separate conversations. It now starts off with the viewing of the hologram and fixes the continuity problems.
