You're welcome!

More thoughts. As the ship is clearly already in reentry, snip the line from Shatner's aide about that, and come in on "How do you want to play it?"

Also, if you save Lloyd Bridges jumping to right before the control tower gets destroyed, it's slightly more effective. And if you only cut back to Shatner for the rest of the sequence after that, it will imply Stack and company have been added to Anakin's body count. ;)

You can keep them alive by having Stacks lousy landing line come over the radio, if that's too gruesome.
