Perhaps there's a way to communicate that Padme is dying? I'm not sure why she would be dying, but that might work.

On the other hand, the fact that her husband is a powerful Sith Lord, apprenticed to the ruler of the Galaxy, who is also a Sith Lord, might be a good reason to send her and the kids into hiding. Adopting Leia doesn't seem so crazy, then, even if Padme isn't dying.

I know, too many consecutive posts. This explanation works if we show it in the..."revised" viewing order (is that an okay term to explain the out of sequence viewing?). If we go completely consecutively, it would of course assume the whole audience knows who Anakin becomes. The more I write and read in this thread, the more you have all convinced me of the right order to view these movies.

EDIT: Mrbenja, I'm not good at any sort of visuals, nor do I really have any decent software to even do a hack job. I'm glad to hear you removed some switches. I am not saying you need to do any further work on your edit because I really want to see it and I do love the look of the old Star Wars. But since we're discussing better integration, and because I do like modernization as well, I feel that more display monitors would look better, and perhaps a grey instead of red (as proposed for the Revisited wishlist) would appeal to me more. Heck, I even like the plainness of this:

EDIT: Found a better picture. Looks like there are more displays than my mind remembered, but at the same time, look at all those lights that serve no purpose but to blink. While a part of me likes it because of its nostalgic feel, I would love an updated version. I personally don't like the decay of the Empire theory and would prefer an appearance that technology had advanced in the Star Wars universe, even if the special effects are different.
