The use of the Star Tours footage to link Vader and Luke might end up being cut. But I do like the idea of linking the two characters. There are other moments in the edit where I try to show Vader getting into Luke's head, so that moment (poor CGI and all) is telling the audience that although they're worlds away Vader is always with Luke.

I dig the idea, but I think the execution is poor. Maybe jump cuts like in the final moments of ESB would work better... or were they really quick fades?

The original Star Tours footage is a rush through hyperspace, then arriving at Tatooine and flying over the desert until some pod racers (annoyingly) start zooming by. I had to obviously cut before the pod racers appeared, which is why the shot somewhat abruptly fades to Luke. I could try cutting to Luke I guess, but a fade felt like a more elegant way of doing it.
