Dont you think if the prequeles where done like this, they would have been much better?

I can think of one terrible book where Luke went looking for info on his mom and she was in these weird force sects (but not a jedi). I was surprised that book was allowed to be written. I can't remember which one it is though. Other than that, most of it is pretty consistent.Woodsey said:
That was the Black Fleet Crisis, wasn't it?leviticusd said:
If I remember correctly, at the end it turned out that whatshername was lying to Luke all along just to get him to help her out, and it really pissed him off.
It's been a long time since I read it, though.
I agree there. I would have him turn to Vader in the 2nd film as well and the third be about him hunting down Jedi and the rise of the rebellion.Lionsfan said:
Also, I would have made Obi-wan a clone (spell it however you want...OB-1 is a name you give a droid...not a Jedi).
Have you seen the trailers for SW:TOR? That's a good start to an awesome movie. Do that, but for the prequels.
No episodes one or two just three, no midiclorians ,Yoda has no lightsaber, get Anakin some more acting lessons, take out a flip or two, and there is special code so that it can only be played after you watch 4-6
how would i rewrite it? well i would take redlettermedia's video review of 1 and 2 and start with every nonsensical bs dialogue and plot line, kill jar jar in the first scene he in in by getting him squished, get rid of all the annoying stereotype aliens, give the princess some emotion and character, make her younger so her and annikens romance evolves more naturally, i mean common she is like 20 years old and he is like 8 in the first movie.
and i would make the force a mystical entity instead of bacteria or wth ever they are. and of course the immaculte birth of anni.
and i would get a child actor that could act.
i think the lucas screening of the epi 1 or 2 that is out there with him and most of his team face palming while they watch the first cuts and lucas himself saying something like "i think we did too much"...oh really? like have a 6 year old write a script that makes little or no sense, kill all the wonder and mystery that the force used to have, hire some horrible actors, spend countless money on cgi that looks dated and fake, and you think you did too much? more like you phoned the whole thing in and surrounded yourself with countless yes people that would never say to him god this sucks or this make no sense.
and because you did too much and had the thing put to film before you read the script or listened to the actors you hired or stopped one minute to ask yourself is this any good at all? then you all had to say well it too interwoven and complex to cut it back or try to reedit it to make it better, when some film guy did exactly that and improved the first films somewhat.
no lucas you just did not care and just put something out you could exploit money out of fans and their children. if you actually worked on the damn thing maybe we could have had some more great memories of star wars.

Okay...It's been 15 or so years since I read them. That makes more sense and sounds vaguely familiar.Jadak said:
I wouldn't do it because then fanboys will just ***** even more and claim that the series is ruined forever so I'm keeping my hands out of star wars and let the directors deal with the hate
No Quigon Jin, he was useless.
I would have gotten rid of the whole fucking trade federation plot thingy and just some evil badass trying to assassinate someone important, with Obi-Wan sent to stop him.
I would have Anakin appear as a teenage tear-away kid, not a little baby.
Midiclorians would not get a mention and Jar Jar Binks would be killed horribly in some way.
So basically everything.

First, make Anakin's story much more tragic from the outset, without the slave deal but a Jedi accidently (maybe?) killing his mother when he is a baby. No Trade Federation, no useless droids, no Jar Jar, no force giving bacteria, none of that. The Jedi (possibly Obi-wan's master) takes the baby in grief and senses (NO KIND OF MEDICLORIAN DECTORS) that this child is powerful. He brings it before the council (not mentioning where or how he got it) and it is choosen to be trained. Anakin (played by a GOOD actor) is forced to be a Jedi under the tutorship of Obi-wan, for a "greater good." This all go fine and good, creating one of the most powerful Jedi for his age, always kept in the dark to keep his emotions, and thus powers, in check, until Padma (played, again, by a better actor) walks in when he becomes a teenager. At first it is just a simple crush, unrequited love. Since the whole, "Jedi can't love because it is a path to the dark side," and "Ambassador's can't fall in love because of duty." They silently fall in love, trying to hide it from both the Senate and the Jedi. The secret Sith Lord Palapatine (how he becomes the high cancouler doesn't matter) finds out about Anakin's secret love and dark past. He twists the galaxy around the political debate about Clones (had to include this bit since there was the mention of the "Clone Wars" back in a New Hope), until war breaks out between the revolting clones and the brain dead army of clones the Republic is using. During the confusion, Padma gets pregnet with Anakin's child and both the Jedi banish him, just short of him becoming a master. Palatine twists Anakin to his whim, telling how the Jedi lied to him about his family, how they killed him, how he wants to create a universe where "anybody can love anybody" by detroying the narrow minded Jedi. During a fight with his old master, Anakin gets beaten and barely left alive, before his Sith master makes him the black Vader we all know and love. Instead of ending it their, he goes to Padma, who rejects the metal monster he has become, and he actually kills her. When he leaves the body, the babies are saved at the last possible moment, they are split up, and we can go into the next films with no plot holes or story errors.
I would probably made Jar-Jar a non-comic relief character. His role would be serious. I would've made him an exile from the gungans. The fact that he re-united the two races would've made him a diplomatic representative in the senate. Later on, he discovers a dark secret within the republic. He gets killed for it by Darth Vader.
I would've also re-wrote Anakin and the whole love story. Anakin acts like a Jedi. He would've not wanted to fall in love. However, Padme was just there and made him feel emotions. However, his turning point to the dark-side would've been something a little more intense. Something like Anakin senses his mom is in danger and the council would not let him do something about it. He defies them and discovers his mom has died. He blames the council for betraying him. Goes on a killing spree and becomes Darth Vader.
So Anakin and Padme's love would only be something that started the emotions. A strong shock would've get the deal done.
