Thanks! I’ll try share more about the Epilogue when I have time to work on it some!

That reminds me of a post I read about a father who introducing his two young sons to Star Wars by showing them Clone Wars first, and building up that depiction of Anakin and Obi-Wan, then going straight into ANH. So their kids ended up HATING Darth Vader for killing Anakin. I didn’t read about their reactions to ESB, but you can imagine how dramatic that reveal would be.

And if you are introducing younger kids to Star Wars, I would imagine a cartoon like The Clone Wars could be more engaging for them than the prequels in some ways. And like I’ve said before, I think ROTS could work well as a ‘flashback’ film in between ESB and ROTJ, so you can see how it all happened.

But, if I do the Prologue, I’ll try to depict Anakin as a good man who was manipulated by Palpatine. So basically a cautionary tale. I think NFBisms has done a good job trying to depict Anakin more like his Clone Wars counterpart.
