Another big issue in a concept of Page 1 - list: Erasing midichlorian talk
Midichlorian talk in the opera might sound like unimportant but it is indirect explanation of Anakin's existence. In a contrary to usual audience which probably didn't get it, Darth Pleagus the Wise is probably Anakins father because he was very probably the one who "manipulated midichlorians to create... life" inside Anakin's mother (and who knows who else) which got pregnant without any physical contact and "can't explain what happened". In some simplyfied christian way, audience should realise in this very moment that Anakin was not some sort of "a child of god" (as lots of newspapers were making fun of this implication at 1999), but, as it seems now, on a contrary, some kind of "child of a devil", if one likes to put it this way. Tatooine, so remote and unimportant would be a right place for that kind of experiment. That also immidiately explains why Anakin is so overfilled ("it looks like he was concieved") with midichlorians as well. That's a technical explanation of his unlimited abilities. He is a child of a Sith manipulation experiment "some consider to be unnatural". This is why this story is important, beside more catchy obvious interesting stuff in it (ability to save people/Padme from dying and a hint that Palpatine himself was very probably Pleagus' pupil who killed him in his sleep). These are ingenious hidden explenations placed in one hidden story told in selffascinating undertone in Ian McDiarmid's juicy performance wich maybe should be all left where they are, also because despite it's many characters , PT is a story of Anakin Skywalker just as "OT is story of Luke Skywalker"(as Lawrence Kasdan said). This scene takes a lots of time, extra slow tempo and reliance on a good actor not without a reason but to tell us that this is really important although hidden and/or disguised.
First in this story of Palpatine audience should became aware why this "midichlorians bull...t"( as many old sw fans stated after TPM opened) is actually really very important issue. That ment, erasing "midichlorians stuff" means erasing something of fundamental importance for the story of Anakin Skywalker.
Do as you wish.
