Yeah, Naboo do not have a great army, even Panaka say " Our security
volunteers will be no match against a battle-hardened Federation army."

But I think Adywan is right when he say that it will be a mess to do. I think there are other things more important to edit. And turning Naboo into Alderaan (even if it's a sweet idea) could really increase the difficulty editing the rest of the movies.

 

Beside, in the end, I feel like the PT revisited should not be too "radical". I mean, I don't have problem with most of the story, it just needs to be told in an interesting way.

 

For exemple, I think the midichlorians could stay on the PT revisited... let me explain.

To me it's clear that the midichlorians are not the Force, they are just life formes in your blood that helps you to "feel" the Force, so they did not rape my childhood like I heard so many times. Beside, in the OT, Yoda himself say to Luke that the Force is strong in his family, so in a way, it was a kind of genetic thing from the begining: you can't be strong with the Force even with a few Obi-Wan lessons, you need to have "the Force" in your blood! In a way, ESB is the movie that allowed the midichlorians. (sacrilege! I know...  ;) )

I would like to make clear that Palpatine is behind the birth of Anakin (through midichlorian manipulations), that would be the "I am your father" of the PT (he almost say that in the ROTS opera scene if you read betwen the lines). Of course you have to find an explanation to: why a slave on Tatooine, and how the hell Qui Gon was so lucky to find him? Maybe some editing could show us that it was all in Palpatine's plan? Difficult too, I know...

 

Anyway, what I want to say is, like Adywan often say, that we can't reshoot the movie, we have to work with what we have. Just let's try to edit things in an interesting and entertaining way never done before in all the PT fanedits. I fell that the simplest ideas are, most of the time, the better.

 

But this thread is great, I like all the crazy ideas around here! Maybe some will find a path to the PT revisited.
