Just something I posted on Bob's thread. Maybe this idea can be used by other editors, too. Or inspire to do something similar -

OR you could just have Obi LEAVE! Imagine if Anakin lets Obi Wan LEAVE! The whole dialog they are having after Anakin get's shopped up - if you remove the chopping up part and let Anakin stay on the platform the whole time - imagine how awesome that would look!

They fight, they have their dialog, Anakin realizes he can't really beat Obi Wan and he lets him leave!

It would tie Episode III and Episode IV NICELY! Remember Vader says "When I left you, I was but the learner; now *I* am the master!"

Dude! My english sucks, but I really hope you understand what I'm saying here! And please consider doing this! Just consider! I know the whole burning and chopping thing looks pretty cool and it allows using the whole Vader transformation scene (which is also cool), but we could live without it and just imagine that Vader became robotic somehow in the time between EPIII and EPIV.

And, for example, those who will watch Star Wars for the first time - the whole "*I* am your father..." thing will remain a surprise! (That's of course if they don't know that Anakin eventually turns into Vader).

I've never heard an idea like this before, so I'm sorry if this has been mentioned.

Wow, I'm surprised, I actually REALLY dig that idea! But I'd maybe remove the dialogue, and just have them stare at each other, maybe that would be more powerful, or it my just look strange that they just akwardly stare at each other.....
