I like the idea for the clones classic 70's like flash gordon the dudes with the glasses with lights in them
I keep thinking about making more of the Anakin being a slave story and I will revert back to quoting starchaser the legend of orin.

This is the start of the film that focuses on the slave story...
Aside from drawing inspiration from this plot with filming other characters and cruelty being shown to other slaves aside from Anakin... I was also thinking about the removal of the emperor sending darth maul and darth maul being the head slave master on tattooine.
Zigar in starchaser could potentially be swapped for Maul... Maul wears a mask until an escape attempt is made....
He pursues qui-gon and and anakin to the ship but why is he on Naboo also
Darth Maul is working for the emperor and the slave operation on tattooine which is rich in minerals and ore from before it was a desert planet used to power ships.
Anyway that is my attempt to link the story to the war effort gearing up from Palps and the sith
The Pod Racing is the fruit of the slaves labour and provides entertainment for the hutt as well as gambling revenues without this appeasement the slave operation would not be allowed
Starchaser the legend of orin does the opening extremely well of setting up mine world and uses an disabled old man and a young blind kid to show how cruel the slave masters are. I reccomend this cartoon for developing any slave story for the PT
2 deleted scenes from TPM could be used in this Slave scenario
Anakin fights greedo = this would be better used to show anakin fighting the leg of a bigger slave master after they have done something very cruel to an old man say and he dies. A Break call can be used to save anakin from getting seveirly punished himself by a whip
Qui-hon destroys droid = A Slave master (not Maul) is shouting and following "where do you think you are taking him, he is ours!"Qui-gon kills the slave master and cuts to crouching down with Anakin come on let's go.
This would really improve the drama and if those shots can be modified you can tell this story with this footage and other characters and qui gon really breaks him out like a bit more prison break hero to the rescue. Even if he is freed by gambling or winning the race they obviously don't want to honor the bet or the reward of freedom.
