Very nice Snooker. Part of me would like Palpatine to say something like “Thank you, my friend.” Part alas, what you have is superb as it is.

Radical idea: my edits are gonna be two movies (I believe a few other projects are as well) so how about this:

Episode 1: The Phantom Menace Edit
Episode 2: AOTC/ROTS edit
Episode 3: An amalgamation of the Solo movie, Rogue One, and predominantly the Obi-Wan movie.

This would work really well if you used all if the darth vader and miscellaneous material from rogue one, whatever you can/want from Solo (anything that excludes Han Solo himself preferably), use the solo Obi-Wan movie as the main story. It would be awfully convenient if Obi-Wan were played by Ewan McGregor!

Also you could flashback to ROTS deleted scenes of the rebellion being born, the same actress that played Mon Mothma in those plays Mon Mothma in Rogue One so some material could be pulled from there, we also have plenty of video game clips of Alderaan and there’s plenty of random extra stuff out there.

The story could be Obi-Wan losing all hope, stranded on Tatooine while the rest of the galaxy falls apart; the death star is being built, Darth Vader is hunting down every last Jedi, and all of the politicians are forced to choose a side while Obi-Wan sits back and sulks in his own guilt, very much mirroring the same concept of Luke being selfish in TLJ.

Imagine if Episode II mirrored Episode V, but in a better way? Instead of having forced callbacks (3P0’s head getting dragged around/Boba Fett), we get thematic parallels.

Secretly, the Jedi council have been planning to overthrow the Chancellor. They’ve figured out that he’s the Sith Lord. They know that Anakin and him are close, so they try to distance them. Anakin keeps feeling the call to action, he senses Palpatine, his friend, in danger. Obi-Wan tells him not to go, the feeling will pass in time. Anakin leaves, and sees this:

This also helps things tie into the Original Trilogy. When Luke’s about to leave Dagobah to save his friends, Ben says: “Luke, I don’t want to lose you to the emperor the way I lost Vader.” Implying that the circumstances were very similar.

This shows that Luke has a much stronger will than his father, and that his father is redeemable. Luke’s made the same mistake, only he didn’t join the baddie. This also gives much stronger motivation to Vader’s turn. He feels betrayed by the Jedi, and turns to the only person who’s left. This won’t be the first time Kenobi lies for his benefit.

Lovein it!

Ending II with Anakin turning is a pretty interesting idea. I always wished there was a sequence where we actually saw Anakin, as Darth Vader, killing Jedi. The closest we ever get to that is the security hologram.

A radical, random idea, but one could make Anakin/Vader go to Mustafar in III because Jedi are hiding there. It would require some green screen work and costumes, but you could have someone as Anakin with his hood up fighting actors dressed as Jedi. Just replace the Separatists leader massacre with Jedi instead.

I like your idea for an alternate episode III as well Smithers. I think we will be getting an Obi-Wan movie (I think we’ll hear about it before the end of the year), but if for some reason it never comes to fruition, I think it would be possible to rework some material from Ewan McGregor’s film Last Days in the Desert as well.

In my ideal trilogy, we don’t even see Vader’s suit on, the third film would open with the physical transformation followed by an attack on Coruscant, there’s plenty of footage from the old republic trailer ‘Deceived’ that can be repurposed for that as well. The force unleashed 2 also has a few cutscenes where CGI Vader looks pretty good, adding some grain would make a few shots blend right in I believe.

Also, this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=9&v=LmOPXhFensg) can be used as an Obi-Wan dream sequence where he sees the future, we still have some time to see the final result of that whole project, though.

I’m hard-pressed to believe that Disney couldn’t help but put Darth Vader scenes in the Obi-Wan movie, possibly even having them communicate using the force just like Kylo and Rey did. Just for editing purposes I hope they do tbh.

I’ve actually been toying with this idea myself. Years ago I started a completely radical silent film, inspired by TMBTM’s silent film version, changing the story, changing dialogue, moving scenes, and so forth. It was the only way I could think of to “fix” the bad acting and bad dialogue. In light of the new films and new edits, My interest in this has returned and I have recently returned to this attempt.

My episode one is ‘Attack of the Clones’ reduced to an hr. My episode II is also an hour and ends with Anakin’s turn.
At the beginning of Episode III, we learn that Palpatine has gone missing, and Anakin has been sent off world. During this time of about 6-8 months (determined by Padme’s pregnancy) Palpatine has been training Anakin in the ways of the Dark Side.

My Episode III begins with Obi-Wan discovering Grevious’s location and Anakin greeting Padme after an extended absence. (lifted from the beginning of ROTS). Anakin has always been creepy in this scene and it is believable that he has now completely turned to the dark side. He proceeds to inform her of all that he has learned and to trust what he is about to do. Order 66 commences, and Anakin proceeds to attack the Jedi Temple.

A rough cut of all three episodes is complete and now I need to create the new story and dialogue cards. Maybe one day it will actually be finished 😃

Here is a video I posted years ago which shows what a “silent” film transformation can accomplish. While Obi-Wan is investigating Kamino, young Anakin is stuck with street patrol on the streets of Coruscant. Anakin on street patrol is shown in the clip. In my edit, he is then lectured for his “methods” by the council and later while he and Obi-Wan are in the elevator, they update each other on their adventures.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCuUuAQnfhs&feature=youtu.be

Since then, I think I made a few small changes and shortened it a bit, but it will give an idea of what I am hoping to accomplish. I am currently replacing my hard drive and moving, but once I get settled in, I intend to start a new thread and post more clips.

i was screwing around with these ideas

have c3po in revenge of the sith be a random protocol Droid.

Have a new space battle after the anakin vs obiwan lightsaber duel. have obiwan get in anakins ship its a way to release the tension after the battle then have him meet up with yoda afterwards to discuss the twins.

If I were to do a prequel edit it would be like if Snooker’s Destory all jedi and Adywan revisted had a baby.
