solution?

I've got my first Jecht sphere scene written, and I think it came out well. The only catch? I didn't keep the dialog word-for-word the same. It captures the spirit of the scene, and many lines are intact, but I changed a few wordings and added others. IMHO, the changes actually improve the scene. But I do find myself wondering what the reaction will be, if any.

I wonder if people will notice if I don't put it in an author's note? I will mention it, though, because I don't want people to think that I don't know I've written it differently.

Finally went to see Episode III last night. It was pretty good, although I thought the character development was rushed -- Anakin turned to evil much too quickly for my taste. The trilogy would have been much improved, I think, if Lucas had combined the first two movies into one and spread this movie out over two, making Anakin's descent into the dark side less abrupt.

As I was watching, my mind drew all kinds of fascinating parallels between Anakin and the way I've written Auron. ( Here be spoilers for Star Wars. )

I finally saw Episode III last night. Although I imagine that the rest of you have seen it already, I'll put in a spoiler cut anyway.

Via Jed, here is a really fascinating retcon on the events of the original Star Wars movie (I refuse to call it "A New Hope") in light of what we've learned in the prequels, particularly "Revenge of the Sith". Contains lots of spoilers for all six movies.
