I think Jake Lloyd played Anakin well. You see this nice kid, and when he falls to darth vader...it is much more Tragic. You know he could have been good, you knew he could have been nice, he yeleld "Yippee!!!" he was happy...now look at him, just a puppet of evil with no heart and is more machine than man.
As for Jabba, well the suprise thing is done since you meet him in Episode 1. You get to See Jabba in Episode 4 and know who this guy is and why he is after Solo in episode 4. He tells Solo "I will put a price so big on your head, every bounty hunter in the universe will be after you" and is that not what him and Vader do? I think the scene also adds to Solo's badass factor (Lets be honest, Jabba is a worm...so do not even justify him being a badass...he has baddass's do his "badass" work for him)
They should add every scene in Episode 1 except for the waterfall scene (it is the only Jar Jar deleted scene) so it would add more time without Jar Jar. I personally have no Problem with JarJar, but that would please many people and that would be a good thing. Jar Jar fans get to keep their JarJar and JarJar haters get to get more time without him.
Episode 2 should show the deleetd scenes with Anakin and Padme at her house. It will Add more to their love and make it more tragic when ti ends, as well as the other deleted scenes.
I really hope he adds the Greedo Scene in Episode 1. It will show Anakin being bad at least once in Episode 1, and be a funny thing to have since Greedo does meet a "Bad End" like it is told to him in Episode 1.
Now that we are talking about Greedo, Solo flinching or not, it still makes him a badass. It shows he can move his head as easily as that! and BAM! End Greedos Pathetic life that failed at killing solo a first try, and solo kills him a first try.
I would not call the way I approach STAR WARS "Passion" at all. I only take the movies for what they are and what they are/will become. Instead of holding onto memories, I build new ones.
