Well, I typed this fantastic wall of text here and I thought to myself- I should put this into a notepad incase it fails to post... I didn't. And it did.
So here's the crappier shorter version that I can rewrite without breaking my own heart:
1. Are you all aware of the rewrites forum here on OT.com?
2. Who expected to see Vader in 2 of the 3 PT movies? I wanted to see him in 0 of the movies because I wanted the movies to end with the apparent death of Anakin. I know a lot of people wanted more Vader than was had. Just wondering how many people wanted 2 movies of Vader...
3. When laying out a structure for my mPT to follow, I came up with 4 rought movie plots. Which isn't quite true- I came up with 4 movie endings. Which also isn't true- I wanted mEp1 to be a light hearted romp where everything about the mPT could be established and importantly- the friendship between Anakin and Obi-Wan could be firmly established. Then I wanted to get into the fall in mEp2 & 3, but I had 3 movie endings within that structure. To make a long story short, I had to compress the first two structures into a single structure and I think my story was the stronger for it. It gets into the danger a little earlier than I had wanted, and it short changes the "Obi-Wan and Anakin" are best buds timeline somewhat... But what can you do? You can't release 4 Episodes prior to Episode 4.
4. I had a 4 in my previous post. I wonder what it was about?
TO BE CONTINUED!
