I had a dream last night that I was watching an editted ROTS where the editor had removed all hooks leading to the OT. So no Darth Vader transformation, no Luke birth, no Jedi Massacre etc.
The film opened with Obi-Wan hunting for grevious, the Utapau battle, then concluded with Palpatine’s resuce, and Anakin joining the Jedi Council.
I wonder if this could this ever work?
Essentially it might look like a PT that gives as much an ambiguous gap between the PT-OT as the new films do since the OT (ie no obvious set up or bridge).
Huh. I’d watch it, for sure.
I think one mistake that many prequels make is they just “show” backstory events that the original film talked about. For example, I’d bet money that the Han Solo movie has him winning the Falcon in Sabaac.
But that’s boring! If we didn’t need to see it in the original film (via flashback, or whatever), we don’t need to see it in another film!
