So I've been messing around with TPM quite a bit recently, and analyzing the film, and I think I've figured out a way to 100% remove the gungans but keep the rest of the story intact. A little while back, Andreas talked about completely re-arranging TPM to improve the story and the narrative, the idea was to start the movie off in the queen's royal ship before they end up marooned on tatooine. After toying with this idea, I realized that afterwards our protagonists would go back to Coruscant, then to Viceroy's ship, then to Naboo. But since they only go to Naboo at the end, they haven't even met the gungans, so they can go into the space battle, qui-gon and obi-wan battle maul, and the rest battle droids in the building! Now of course this would take some rotoscoping and other special effects not to mention re-incorporating deleted scenes, but I already had planned on doing all of those things. Thoughts?
