Official Sluggo review:

I paid for my whole seat, but I only used the edge.

And while I wasn’t on the edge of my seat I can’t stop smiling while watching this film.

I realized I liked it when they killed of that major character and I thought “Yeah. That works” If a prequel quality film had tried it, I would have walked out.

How to get around the 3-episode prequel limit
Time

I think part of the problem with the prequels is that three films was just not enough time to properly tell Anakin’s story.
But Lucas started off numbering the films with TESB, with roman numerals.

How could the prequels have consisted of more than three films without ruining the Episode system or confusing people?
I was thinking what if the first film was Episode 0 but that wouldn’t work for two reasons. First being roman numerals don’t have a zero, and second, it would be detrimental to marketing purposes. The second film would be called “Episode 1”, third film “Episode 2” and so on.

Any ideas?

I’d first make a film called The Republic: A Star Wars Story and move to Episode I after that.

And I don’t know why, but the idea of roman numerals not having a zero makes me laugh.

A quick test. Alternate and extended scene of Vader choking Captain Antilles and alternate take of "You will never find a more wretched..." line...

(^ Click to play)

Also just finished Irish Jabba, alternate Tarkin and extended/re-sequenced escape from Mos Eisley. Hi Ho Hi Ho off to the Death Star this edit finally goes!

This is as far as V1 got. V2 is already 10 minutes longer than the theatrical cut with the 2nd half still to edit.

 Nice work on this!
