Thanks for the compliment.

Unfortunately, I never ended up writing my screenplays.

I still think about doing them though. For some reason, I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately.

It’s funny to type this, but I still have this bag with lots of papers and notes with specific ideas scribbled on them. I wrote some new scenes like the two Dooku scenes in Episode I. A number of others. I know that I have kept everything, all of my ideas… plans. When I started to take notes and began to organize years back, I knew it was going to be a huge task.

One of the problems I quickly realized was that any rewrite would most likely have to be a combination of a screenplay and a novelization in order to relay details that would be tough with just a basic screenplay. That’s a lot more work.

Also, I was going to have something like an opening statement to kind of explain my plans, intentions, goals, etc.

Then I was going to have a section where I would I would specifically mention a change that I thought might stop someone reading it. For example, I might change someone’s home world or how a planet’s name is spelled. I would mention this in this numbered list so that I wouldn’t have someone saying… “Oh, so-and-so was born on __, not __. This guy doesn’t know what he is talking about.”

There would be a lot of changes to be sure, but a lot would stay the same.

I was also going to hire an artist to draw stills of certain scenes I created from scratch. I figured it would’ve been something cool to add to the project. A visual companion as it were.

Someone I knew from back in the day said that the prequels were like a beautiful chessboard with the pieces in all the wrong places. I tend to agree with that. I think there is a pretty decent amount of stuff there that can be used.

My PT rewrite, if I ever do it (LOL), has big roles for Organa, Mothma, Tarkin, and moderate roles for Black Sun and Raith Sienar.
