That's interesting. Sounds like a much stronger plot in my opinion.
What's the end result though... Does the Federation obtain what they are looking for? How does the whole thing play out, and how can we make it all happen with the existing footage.
Oh, and I've been scarce lately, but welcome to the boards Ming! Look forward to getting to know you! =)
Well overall, I think a "cloning arc" is the strongest direction Episode 1 can come from and actually give the overall story a real direction (since as of right now Episode 1 HAS NO DIRECTION). In the end the real end game for Episode 1 should of be the acquiring of cloning tech or something related to that and taken to Kamino so that by Ep. 2 you see what the "Phantom Menace" really was. The Sith have used deception to get what they want and then trigger a "war". However, if you look at it... The war is contrived and not real, the only real loses are Jedi which was the Sith's intention from the start. The final destruction of the Jedi Order by the end of ROTS along with the final fall of one of it's greatest Jedi Knights, Anakin Skywalker.
Other than civilian casualties in which we never see what's being lost in the galaxy? Droids? Who cares... Clones? Ethical eugenic debates aside... who cares? They're copies... The true tragedy in all of this is the Jedi Order who have been the guardians of the Republic from the start and in the end deceived and nearly wiped out by Sith deception via CLONES. What's also interesting however is how the Sith use the truth as a weapon. Dooku tells Obi Wan exactly what's going on within the Republic during his "interrogation" scene:
Count Dooku: What if I told you that the Republic was now under the control of a dark lord of the Sith?
Obi-Wan: No, that's not possible. The Jedi would sense it.
Count Dooku: The Dark Side has clouded their vision. Hundreds of senators are now under the influence of a Sith lord called Darth Sidious.
Obi-Wan: I don't believe you.Overall the lines of what's darkside and lightside start to blur. Jedi become Sith (Dooku, Anakin, etc...). Good can no longer sense the Darkside even in their own midst... The Grand Army of the Republic turns on their own Generals, the Jedi Knights and the Sith manipulate both armies to destroy Jedi and place them in no win scenario: Order 66.
Cloning should of been in introduced in Episode 1 for the start. Episode 2 was it's main escalation and implementation for the Jedi to be set up in a huge trap aka "The Clone Wars" and Episode 3 should of been the Sith end game for the destruction of the Jedi and the fall of one of it's greatest Knights.
The more I think about it the more it makes sense actually. lol
I agree with what you're saying... Just trying to figure out how to make this actually work.
Wouldn't be interesting if the area where the lightsaber fight occurs could be a cloning testing area.... We could take portions of the Kamino edition and use those elements to add little clone pods to that fight scene.... And then maybe at the end, show Palpatine alone in that area... Maybe take another shot from one of the other movies where his back is to us and paste him in a shot where the clone pods are everywhere.... And then could spell out the whole idea.
Yub yub... very similar to what I was thinking... The whole point is have the invasion as a feint but the real reason is human cloning tech. We can tweak the Kaminoans cloning expertise as non-human and so getting Naboo's clone tech for humans is critical to their overall goal as the Empire's biased to aliens is well known. Papatine uses the trade federation as pawns promising them a huge role in his New Imperial Order and they never intended to stay on Naboo (thus only one droid control ship was left behind). They got what they came for and the rest hyped so they leave a small force behind to make it look like an occupation....
That's how I'd mod and retcon this fierfek. =P
ALSO... as a bonus... we can eliminate JarJar and gungans completely. XD
