Excellent video…all 3 parts. I’d never seen these. This guy seems to know what he’s talking about.

I openly admit I’m no screen writer. Plus it makes things more difficult when you have to make alternate dialogue work with lip sync.

I hope to eliminate all predatory and creepy (not to mention whiny) behavior from Anakin. He’ll obviously have some flaws. But the flaws need to seem reasonable…like the flaws we can see in Luke. We don’t dislike Luke for these flaws, we relate with him because of them. We see ourselves in him and his choices and actions.

“But take away Anakin’s predatory and creepy behavior and you have removed his most distinctive and interesting trait.”

Wow, I can’t argue you on this! 😉
As far as eliminating this behavior: I think something that will really help is by removing certain shots of Anakin. Those overtly creepy shots (“I’m sorry M’lady”) OR giving them another context by reworking the dialogue.
I hope to show more clips in the future of what I’m talking about…giving you guys more context. If this is not working…then…I don’t know what I’ll do.
