Over all, I'd say it's a good start.

I don't think Anakin needs the Force lecture until after he sees it in action. And when he does explain it, it should be shorter that the one Luke gets. Mostly, because they're in a hurry and it keeps the original scene special.

As for the princess rescuing them, it seems a bit convenient to have her as a guardian. Perhaps she was trying to escape - making her the coward and not her brother - and Obi Wan and Anakin unintentionally shame her into going back. If you do want to keep her as a forest guardian, then please, no white until the end of the movie. It's symbolic of her accepting her destiny.

Thanks for the feedback!

I see what you mean. Looking back, the princess being there just at that time does seem like a bit of plot convenience and it also seems unlikely that Obi-Wan would stop mid-mission to explain the nature of the Force to his pilot. Probably it should be spread out over their journey to the core world and explained further in some sort of Jedi temple style place. 

I think it's a bit of a problem for her to be an out and out coward, though. An adolescent fear of responsibility is more forgivable than absolute cowardice - and I doubt Anakin would be able to develop an attraction for her if she were a coward.
