We’d start out with Anakin as a Padawan learner getting ready for his exam to be a Jedi knight starting out with the scene from the Obi-Wan Disney+ Show with their training. We establish his relationship with Obi-Wan, Mace Windu, Palpatine, and Padme. I also love the idea that a few people have thrown about before about not having Yoda in the films so I’m lifting that with him being an inactive member of the Jedi order with his feats being legendary amongst the Jedi. Anakin and Obi-Wan have a much warmer relationship in the movie with their relationship feeling much more like that of brothers than Jedi Knight and Padawan, which has garnered criticism from those in the Jedi Council, chief amongst them Mace Windu who was against Anakin joining the order as he was too old. The plot is somewhat similar to Attack of the Clones, but with major differences, I’m lifting some elements, concepts, and characters from The Clone Wars CG series to replace characters from the Prequel we got. Keeping the Padme assassination subplot, and Anakin being told to protect the senator as his final mission before being tested to be a Jedi Knight, after Obi-Wan continually pushes for him to be allowed to get the chance. Anakin would still be impulsive and go off on his own, with the difference that Obi-Wan seems blind to or willingly ignorant of those flaws. The Jedi council wants to wait before moving Anakin up to temper his rebellious and impulsive attitude. While Anakin is bringing Padme back to her home, Obi-Wan is investigating the person who attacked Padme, who is Pre Visla of Death Watch from Mandalore, who is now the model for the clone Army. Anakin and Padme fall in love believably without the cringe dialogue, and without them denying their feelings to each other due to their positions. Jedi still are not allowed to participate in romantic relationships, but Anakin and Padme don’t care. Anakin has his vision of his mother again and goes to Tattooine. This time he and Owen are actually cousins who grew up together like brothers, and Owen resents Anakin for leaving them behind to become a Jedi alone and abandoning them. We keep Anakin hunting down and killing the Tusken Raiders, which is now an incident that he keeps to himself. Anakin gets the message from Obi-Wan, and Mace Windu is livid that Anakin abandoned his mission, and orders him to remain on Tattooine and not go anywhere and that they’d deal with Anakin’s transgression later. Distraught and worried about whether or not he’ll be expelled from the Jedi Order he goes back into the Lars Homestead where Owen asks Anakin to stay here and abandon his life as a Jedi. It’s presented as a legitimate conflict where Anakin is choosing between his two “Brothers” the one he grew up with and the one he forged via his relationship with Obi-Wan. Padme encourages Anakin to return back to help Obi-Wan against his orders because it is the right thing to do and he can’t abandon his duty to the galaxy. Anakin decides to go back with Padme and Owen and Anakin have a blow-up fight right before he leaves and their relationship is shattered. The rest of the movie plays out similarly to how it usually plays out in most fan edits, although Yoda is not present and Pre Visla doesn’t die so he can be a villain in the second movie and is portrayed as Dooku’s apprentice. At the end of the movie, Anakin is promoted to Jedi Knight against the wishes of Mace due to the beginning of the Clone Wars, and he and Padme get married.
Episode 2 is completely original and mostly takes place during the clone wars and it’s a reconfigured version of the Mandalore plot line from the Clone Wars cartoon. Anakin get’s his visions of Padme dying at the beginning of the second film. Obi-Wan has been promoted to Master on the Jedi Council, and Anakin has been promoted to Jedi Knight and their relationship is more fraught than it was in the first movie. Obi-Wan suspects that Anakin has betrayed his oath and married Padme, but he doesn’t say anything about it. Anakin is bolder and brasher, continually gives in to his anger, and uses dark side powers, unknown to the rest of the Jedi. Padme, Bail Organa, and Mon Mothma are attempting to lead a coalition to negotiate peace with the separatists throughout the movie. Obi-Wan and Anakin liberate Mandalore by defeating Pre Visla who is presumed dead after Duchess Satine is killed. Anakin confides in Obi-Wan about his feelings for Padme but doesn’t reveal that their married confirming Obi-Wan’s suspicions. Obi-Wan a talk about his previous feelings for Satine and how he eventually chose the Jedi Order over her saying that he doesn’t regret his choice in an attempt to teach Anakin to accept loss. This has the opposite effect on Anakin who becomes even more determined to stop Padme from dying. At the end of the movie, he confides in his quest to Palpatine, who is continuing to manipulate Anakin and drive a wedge between him and the Jedi Order, as his political maneuvering gets him closer to full control from the Senate. And Bail, Mothma, and Padme, realizing Palatines attempts to gain power resolve to stop him
Movie 3 is really similar, but Grevious’s role is replaced by Pre-Visla and Obi-Wan gets Ashoka’s plot line from the finale of the Clone Wars TV Series instead. I really tried to fit Ahsoka into my version of the prequel trilogy, but that’s just way too many characters for 3 films. The opening doesn’t have general Grievous and is a lot shorter, being contained within the first 10-15 minutes, with much less humor throughout. Padme’s subplot to start the rebellion with Mon Mothma, and Bail Organa gets a more central focus in the plot, as well as Anakin’s getting suspicious of her relationship with Obi-Wan, due to her frequent leaving to go meet with them to save the republic. Obi-Wan is also throughout the first act acting as Padme’s confidant and giving her advice, without knowing she plans to start a rebellion. Near the end of the first act, we get information that, Pe-Visla is alive and that the bulk of the separatist’s fleet has taken back Mandalore, sending Obi-Wan to take care of him. Anakin’s political motives of getting tired of the slow process of the senate has more screentime, and it also drives a wedge between Anakin and Padme, and serves as an extra motivation for him to join the dark-side. The finale is pretty much the same, but Yoda isn’t present.
