No diner scenes plz.
Dinner scenes plz.
Reason being that dinner scenes, such as the one from Star Wars, was such a normal occurrence in movies that the audience could easily believe in the reality of the Lars family and their homestead. Juxtaposed with the alien strangeness of the following binary sunset, a simple dinner scene does more to make Luke's character relatable to the audience than any other interaction in the trilogy.
I agree it worked well in the original film, but the diner and dinner scenes in AOTC felt off. Especially when Anakin was showing off to Padme. Even the deleted dinner with Padme's family didn't feel like it belonged in the Star Wars universe... at least to me. I guess it depends on how the dinner scene is presented.
