You are probably right, there’s just not enough material. Perhaps a much much smaller project could utilize the footage. Like, say, a 10 minute short about Qui-Gon’s training.

Example:

I’m sure some of that footage could be edited and redubbed as young Qui-Gon’s early Jedi days or something.

Nah, it looks too distinctly non-SW. There’s candles, renaissance wigs all sorts of stuff like that.

I have an idea for a source of footage that could be used to great advantage: Saruman from Lord of the Rings as Count Dooku. At some point before the Clone Wars break out, Jedi Master Dooku Serenno (the planet he is Count of) for longer than usual. The Council sends master Gandalf to find out what he’s up to, and discover he has allied with the dark lord Sauron Darth Sidious. They have a Force-off, and Gandalf loses. Seeing as he would suddenly disappear from the plot if the Eagles save him, best to leave Gandalf dead at Dooku’s hands. And that crystal ball he uses is totally the Gungan’s plasma sphere from the end of TPM. I’m not sure what it’s power should be, but it should have some significance.

In case it somehow hadn’t come to mind, we ought to integrate the fanfilm Darth Maul: Apprentice. It’s around 20 minutes, but I suggest we trim it to avoid feeling like filler (it’s just one long fight scene) and use it to show Darth Maul doing other things before TPM. Not too sure how we could tie it into the plot.

As someone who hasn’t seen Blade Runner, I’m guessing there must be some stuff we can use in there. It’s probably not much, though. Maybe there’s enough between it and its recent sequel to show a bit of what Han’s up to between RotJ and TFA.
