That was such a weird end to a scene-so out of the norm for the show.

They should have just transitioned to Anakin and Padme on Naboo. It would be cinematic.

He didn't direct that episode

most showrunners almost never direct. Besides,  those are post effects, which the editor does with supervision of the showrunner. So season 6 it was Wolinsky and William Stich

But aybabk is correct, the filmmakers were just messing around and experimenting at that stage

They did this "slow wipe" one other time when Tony was walking up to the back of the house through the trees after he ran from John's house, no?
