I continue to worry about the elevator scene. There is so little for establishing prior relationship. Maybe begin with AS "You fell into that nightmare...." They chuckle, then go again to a quick exterior shot of elavator rising (if nec to cover a rough transition) then AS "I haven't seen her in <2> years...." I think that one has to work.

I appreciate the gallows humor in the face of danger. Quips make it feel more like SW.

Maybe start hangar scene in TPM with simply OW "The negotiations were short." and have QG brush it off with his part after. Try different things to see what works best? If we don't see the crew in the consular ship cockpit when it's destroyed then they might have debarked?

ROTS is, by necessity, a tragedy. Maybe make the prior episodes as lighthearted as possible by cutting frowns and highlighting quips wherever it seems to work.

That's all I've got for the PT. It will be fun to see whatever the fan-editors decide to do with the trilogy. :)
