I like that one A LOT. Loved how they incorporated PT scenes as quick flashbacks. To bad the PT as a whole sucked.

Certainly an interesting idea - with some good choices of scenes for insertion, and although I'm not a big fan of changing the OT for it to 'fit better' to the PT - I did enjoy watching it


Nice link SW - cheers

I guess if you really, really need spelled out to you what's happening in the Throne Room, these kinds of flash backs could help. But I prefer leaving some ambiguity in Vader's thoughts at this point ... it adds a bit of suspense (in case you think he may not save Luke) and allows some interpretation and guesswork re: what really is going through that pasty skull*. And the flashback to Luke's line from about a minute before ... was just discordant.

* What I think was going through Vader's skull is no doubt very different than what this editor thought.

I have to say that I didn't like this at all. In fact it left me rather cold.

I'm not a fan of 'Prequelizing' the OT, and this attempt, although bold, didn't really work on either an emotional or technical level for me.

Perhaps the editor should have conformed to one of the film conventions for flash-back sequences by at least doing a bleach pass on the PT footage to make it look different enough to draw the viewer's attention.

Also, it might have worked better if the viewer was able to see more than a flash of the PT footage, though this may have required some clever editing of the sound, as well as the pictures.

Unfortunately it just reminded that rather than making clever links between the PT and OT, Lucas simply re-cycled ideas.

As always though - thanks for posting!
