Is there a way to make it seem like Anakin and Padme have secretly been smashing for a while before AotC?

Gross!! They’re barely 14 before AOTC!

Anakin, the youngest of the two, is 20 in AOTC. If you remove the “no contact in 10 years” bit, they could have been fucking for as many as four years without it being “gross” or damaging

I must admit, it would still be pushing it for the legality if Anakin was 16, then Padme would be 21, so, in Australia at least, you can only have intercourse if you’re within 3 years age difference. If you’re under eighteen at least.

So I’m right in Australia.

Hey, Australia ain’t on Coruscant!
They’d still have two years, anyway.

Actually, he’s 19, the same age Luke and Rey were when they started their journeys.

My bad, sooo… one year. Goddammit Sparky, you’ve got us discussing the logistics and legality of Anakin and Padme’s love life!

That’s the plan. Star Wars always could have done with some more pederastia

JEDIT:

I remember an older version of the “New Canon Cut” of Ep 3 having ‘Luke and Leia’ playing over the birth of the twins and it sounded pretty rad.

Interesting.

So this is over a month late, but I just saw this, and I found the thing snooker is talking about here with the rescore/re-edit at the end of an old version of my RoTS edit.

I ended up not using it in New Canon Cut, because I didn’t think it meshed very well with the style/pacing of the rest of the film - but I think it could work in an edit that is paced and edited in this style.

If you go by the half-plus-seven rule, it would be creepy for them to have been smashing for any time before AotC itself, but you could just cut out the 10 years line and say that AotC takes place 15 or however many years after TPM. Or if it’s in pairing with a TPM fanedit, there might already be some age-messing-with.

That’s really cool snooker! Is that shot only two seconds? That plus hearing some distant sounds of fire and explosions would really round it out well. You should definitely perfect and share this shot if you’d be willing!

If I could suggest one thing, you could possibly slow the slow down the pillars of smoke coming from the fires a little? Since they’re both at a pretty good distant, I think these large pillars of smoke would move a little slower, if you can do that.

Very very cool. Now if only we could see civilians running in the streets or something at the beginning of the film.

The original shot was only 2 seconds, but I’ve gone ahead and added your suggestions. I’ve extended the shot by a second, and I’ve slowed the fires by 50%. I will update this post later with a gif preview, and the raw hd shot later still.

This was a great idea Snooker, and it makes for a very beautiful shot. I haven’t watched it in awhile, but is this the establishing shot for the scene where Gunray tells hologram Sidious that they have control of the planet?

It’s actually the one for the Nute/Sio Bibble scene.

Here’s some context for the clip:

The Sovereign (Trade Federation) have discreetly occupied the small world of Naboo under the orders of an unknown benefactor. The senate is suspicious after 2 days with no contact with the planet. Two Jedi Knights are sent by Naboo’s senator Palpatine to investigate. They also go radio silent. The Senate is on edge.

Remember to turn on subtitles!

Passoword: Bibble

The whole point of The Phantom Menace in the grand scheme of the trilogy is to show Palpatine scheming his way to power. This edit (I hope) helps show that a little better and makes everyone’s intentions very clear. Hypothetical first time viewers may assume that Valorum is the mystery benefactor, when in reality it’s Palpatine.
