And I think the awkward cut you mentioned was to trim Anakin's dialogue: "You'll never reach the outskirts in time! Sandstorms are very, [very] dangerous. [Come on!] I'll take you to my place." I see how that'd be a little jarring. Oh, well.

Ah, I see. The sound came across very nicely. It was really just the characters jumping around between two frames that did it. But mostly because that woman in he red hat is directly in front of Anakin while he's speaking. Oh well. :)
