A few more thoughts:

The Obi-Wan missed jump looks too off to me.  (The first one, not the overshoot, which is still awesome)  To me, it doesn't look like he jumps and misses, which I think is your intention, but just that the footage is reversed.  I say either play with that one a little more or go right to the overshoot.

And as far as the "simple flip leaves continuity errors"... What errors?  Is it anything worth worrying about?  This is a ridiculous edit, afterall.

I'm in love with the idea of him falling short, which is what it is supposed to be.  I agree it doesn't quite look right, I've tried a bunch of different ways and this one was the best I was able to achieve.  Maybe one of my "people" can try something, but yes it looks off.  It's jerky for some reason that I can't figure out.

I'll probably leave it in if it can't be fixed.  It still makes me laugh.

The continuity error is that the entire upper platform is now the wrong direction because it's not centered.  I know this edit doesn't need to address continuity like normal edits, but it still jumps out at me as pretty obvious.  There may be a fix for this, but if not I won't sweat it too much, because the overshoot is too awesome to lose.
