Obama 1 Kenobi said:I think from the point that Padme is giving birth the film should be left in it's original edit as for me this was the best part of the entire prequals. Except the additional scene with Yoda travelling to his home planet should be added in.
So you want to see:
- Padme "losing the will to live"
- Padme saying that "there still good in Anakin" (despite Anakin being a murdering psychopath at this point)
- Darth Vader himself yelling "NNNNOOOOOO!!!" like a little girl
- Yoda, Obi-Wan, and Bail Organa basically explaining to the audience everything that's gonna happen between RotS and ANH
- Yoda telling Obi-Wan some bullcrap about Qui-Gon being back from the dead and teaching him the "path to immortality"
- Well there could be the odd tweak but can live with the "NOOOOO" - it may not be the best moment, in fact is so bad that it is almost good...
- The explanations I can live with.
- Perhaps leave in the 2nd birth but do not name the child at this point - that would keep some mystery? (I guess that would mean editing the explanations..)
Obama 1 Kenobi said:All references to younglings should be removed.
Ok, I see absolutely no logic behind this - so are you saying that Anakin shouldn't kill children or that no one should talk about him murdering the kids (just because the word "younglings" is used)?
- Well perhaps substitute the word "Younglings" with - er - "Kidlets"?? (Joke) hmm I know re -dubbing the word "Younglings" may not be easy but that would go on my wishlist...
Just to re - iterate on the whole you have done a good Job. Just my opinions...
