Lack of reasonable consequences to the characters and, environment. When I made this post recently about comparing Power Rangers to the Prequels I commented on the consequences. RLM also touched on that in his ROTS review. I got to thinking that's basically 90% of the problem. Virtually no consequence given to Anakin confessing to being a mass murderer to a Senator/Ex-Queen. No consequence given to Dooku telling Obi Wan basically all the important stuff. No reasonable consequence to a non-force user, just regular 5 foot + tall woman, getting the claws of a 20 foot long animal in her back and, later falling from a FLYING VEHICLE WHILE STILL INJURED FROM HAVING CLAWS IN HER BACK WHERE THE SPINE IS!!!!!! Oh yeah same superwoman dies of an emotionally broken heart... Geeze if he so wanted to show midriff so bad should've changed things like:
CGI Bug guard starts ripping PADME'S clothes off. ANAKIN sees this.
ANAKIN: Stop this!
ANAKIN starts fighting the bug guards again. While PADME resists the clothes being taken away. The bug guard rips her shirt revealing midriff. Just then, JANGO FETT enters putting a gun to ANAKIN'S neck. DOOKU enters right behind him.
DOOKU: (says something in Alien language calms the bugs down) (turns his attention to PADME) My greatest apologies Quee- Wait, I'm sorry once again Senator.
PADME: How about pulling that Foreign tongue magic trick again and, telling the guards to let us go?
DOOKU: I don't have that kind of power. I'm answerable to :
Speaking of which, I must be going. I wouldn't want to end up where you two are headed.
ANAKIN bruised from the scuffle with the bug guards is allowed to get closer to PADME before being forced out into the ARENA. While JANGO FETT and, DOOKU take their leave.
ANAKIN: I failed you. I'm sorry. I should've never brought you here. If we make it out of here and, you never want to see me again I understand.
PADME: I asked to be here. Not this (points to the bug guards) but, I wanted to save Obi wan just as much as you did. We came to this planet together and, we're going to leave together.
ANAKIN: You really mean that?
PADME cuts through trying to say anything in response and, just gives ANAKIN a kiss.
(I'm tired, forgot the main baddies name in AOTC. Pic substitute used instead... "Bug guard" substituted for "Geonosian guard" just 'cause....)
I don't know, something like that^.... Sorry kind of turned into rewriting the prequels... Um, yeah. Short answer "consequences"...
Cool, more ideas for AOTR! And it's always a treat to see Nute and Rune taking a bath together again. ;-)
