What if Disney remade the prequels?

[DariusAPB 6,925]

Series. But let's face it, history is full of events that prove the above wrong.

Aethelred the unready, Caligula, Henry VI... god knows how many more.

[Darth Chuck 532]

The story would have made more sense if Padme was the Queen's daughter and the same age as Anakin.  Then the Queen retakes Naboo while the daughter hangs out with Anakin and they become fast friends.  Later the Daughter becomes a Senator while the Queen is still queen.  Bam.  Creepiness problems solved.  You can still use Portman as the older Daughter.  That makes Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, and the Queen as the main characters of Episode 1.  The prequels would have been much better served if they were mainly about the relationship between Anakin and Obi-Wan and there is no prophesy at all.  Anakin is just another Jedi, granted a powerful one.

 

If you really want to circle around, Palpatine is Anakin's dad after Anakin's mom is pimped out by her owner who was mind-tricked.  Then Palpatine has her taken out by the sandpeople to force Anakin dark.

[Dagonet 7,246]

But for every one of those you could counter with an Alexander, Henry V or Tutankhamen. .

It is just that it isn't necessarily a bad choice, the limitation of a year helps

[Dagonet 7,246]

Here's a small change for a recut:

 

Add cameos of Grievous in all movies, in a leading role of the droid army.

 

Cut Dooku (or put him in a Tarkin position), keep Maul alive until episode 3. Now we have a single major antagonist the stature of Vader.

[DariusAPB 6,925]

OOP! Someone mentioned Henry V!

 

 

What’s he that wishes so?
My cousin, Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin;
If we are mark’d to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God’s will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
God’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call’d the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam’d,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say “To-morrow is Saint Crispian.”
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say “These wounds I had on Crispin's day.”
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words—
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester—
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.

Where here is some ideas.

 

Episode 1

 

Remove the accidental victories (this isn't Orks from Warhammer 40,000) Jar Jar talks less and is less clumsy (the comedy was never good so making less comical would be better). Example the gungan battle when Jar Jar is running he sees the cart full of the ion goo hmmms to himself opens it up (as if it was his idea) looks back as droids and tanks get hit then says "sorry". As for Anikin hiding in a fighter he ask R2-D2 what the N-1 is ask if it is like a pod racer then gets in and flies it and later says "This is better than Pod Racing!". When he crashes into the droid control ship he asks R2-D2 how to fire weapons to shoot the droids R2-D2 tells him.

 

Also Darth Maul is not killed but instead after defeating Qui-gon Jin tells Obi Wan about a prophecy that a Dark Jedi will rise and restore Sith rule to the Galaxy and tells him that Obi Wan was poorly trained and he should become his apprentice. Destroyer Droids com in to seal the doom of Obi Wan. Then after the droid control ship is destroyed the droids fall down and Darth Maul retreats. Obi wan tries to ask Qui-gon what did he mean but Qui-gon intent on fulfilling the prophecy tells him to train Anikin.

 

Episode 2. Count Dooku is not a sith but gets killed by Darth Maul. Darth Maul is the one that ends up defeating both Anikin and Obi Wan but has to fight Yoda (just replace Christopher Walkin with Darth Maul as Darth Maul still has his donotellosaber damaged from the last duel.)

 

Episode 3 Anikin defeats darth maul surprising him as Maul though Obi-wans was part of the Sith prophecy now realizing that it was Anikin. Both sides missed thir own version of the prophecey.

Jar Jar Binks vs Karn the Betrayer!

 

In all or Karn's attacks Jar Jar is considered both an enemy and a friendly model.

Forgot Episode 1 ever happened. The entire movie is summed up in Episode 2 by - Padme: "Anakin, I haven't see you in a long time."

Recut Episode 2 with less scenes that need not be there. (Like the fact no one knows where Kamino is but some weird owner of a strange nostalgia diner, who cares about him) Make the clones based off "Boba Fett" a young Mando Hotshot with a lot of skills but no where to use them in a relatively peaceful Galaxy. (Take out the kid clone, the kid is pointless) I think a flashback to key Obiwan +  Qui gon scenes and Qui gon's death could work well to bridge a gap and add a sub-plot of Obiwan's struggling to be a teacher as Anakin struggles to be a good jedi. (Having the flashback of Qui gon dying near when Anakin slaughters the Tuskens) If at all possible, remake a plausible romance for Anakin and Padme that actually makes sense instead of Anakin acting like a creepy obsessed internet child and then Padme pity loving him. (Who calls a girl "M'lady" other than guys with trilbies?) Cut out the pointless space fight between Obiwan and Boba. Cut out most of the Droid factory scene exposition. Cut out 'Jango' dying and then you got a half-way watchable movie?

Throw the entire 2D animated Clonewars (Because it was amazing) as episode 2, makes reference to Qui gon so you don't miss his absence from the movies now that Episode 1 is gone.

Keep Episode 3 as is, it's passable.

Next we will be talking about how to fix the Hobbit prequels. Hmmm... Two movies?

I really like what the Clone Wars cartoon did for the prequels.  It made various parts of them better.  I like what they did with Darth Maul and his storyline.  I would prefer that stayed the same. 

 

Have you see the Fall of the Jedi fan edit?  It takes Ep I-III and mostly subtly edits it.  Anything Jar Jar says or does that is stupid is cut (90% or so).  The blue Astromech in Ep I is not R2-D2, but just a random one.  C-3PO is just cut out of Ep I and not made by Anakin.  The pod race is shortened and all sabotage is removed to show that Anakin is just a 6 yr old who makes a crappy pod.   

 

Overall, I really like that fan edit and almost all people that I've shown it to really don't mind it as much as the originals. 

 

SIDE NOTE:  I liked the Hobbit movies.  Don't change them!  They are all Tolkien stories, but just pushed into one. 

[Robin Graves 6,054]

I liked LOTR over the hobbit ones. Interestingly I liked the 1st movie of both trilogies the best. (I guess I like the Shire?)

 

Now I kinda wanna see Disney eff em up and turn the "Hobbit" into "Bilbo and the seven dwarves." And then have a musical number in the movie (Oh wait we already had singing dwarves in the hobbit:) )

Problem was they were stretched into three movies, not one.
