  Speaker 3: to female film editor Verna Fields, who is one of
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: the big names in editing Jaws, Paper Moon. It was

  Speaker 4: He felt like it was going too far. Yeah, but
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: she talked him into it.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: And yeah, so she says, I thought it made the
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: threat of Vader greater. Yeah, that tied in with the
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Force and the fact that it could use the dark side,
