Oh, dude, don't apologise, it was incredibly interesting, so I'm glad to hear you're not sorry for the results. And thrilled to hear that you think I succeeded in conveying some of Padme's loneliness and the, well, I like the way you put it - the abrupt limits to her agency.
I'm actually enormously happy you liked the final shot because that's actually a shot I did a lot of futzing with. I'm not usually one for colour correction or masking shots, etc., but I did actually do that there. I wanted to at least make the shot seem as though it were part of the sequence of Vader's body burning, but the colouring and background were all wrong, so I did actually do some colour correction to bring out the orange glow and mask in some "firey" background bits. In the end result I think it's a bit too dark to really see that all that well, but in itself that probably helps it not look too clunky. Anyway, I think the net effect is it looks smoother and it's not something I usually try to do, so I'm super happy you liked it and stuff. YAY! :D
As to other vids and feedback, there's absolutely no hurry, I assure you. They're not going anywhere and this LJ operates a guilt-free commenting policy. Plus late feedback is the best. ;)
