That would tie in with the old Bantha Tracks newsletter where someone let slip Beru was going to be in ROTJ. ;)

And we already know the Emperor can change both his voice and appearance, just by comparing ESB against ROTJ. I wasn't actually convinced when I wrote it at first, but now I'm pretty certain.
EDIT: And I'm pretty sure this is topical, in the sense that it fits the thread title of "Stuff that never happened in a Star Wars film".

Well, what I said was good about the prequels aren't exactly things that I like about them. I'd rather have had a proper PT and indulge in anything Star Wars related than being able to have a cheap laugh at "I don't like sand".

Sadly, I'd have to say the only good thing about the Prequels is that they spawned the following:

Don't forget the RedLetterMedia reviews. I can't decide which is better, those reviews or the 2003 Clone Wars. On one hand you have 4 hours worth of complete destruction of the prequels, but on the other hand, you have the Star Wars prequels we should have gotten all along.

Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars
I personally never thought there was any way to redeem the storyline in the prequels until I watched this prior to watching ROTS. It occurred to me that the prequels could have actually had been good if it were in better hands. Watching the clone wars, suddenly the love story worked, the angst of Anakin worked, Yoda fighting worked and on and on...
Goes to show how one person can make or break a story.

I hear all this love for the 2003 Clone Wars, and then I remember this scene
and wonder what the hell it is you're all smoking.

Ian McDiarmid was great in the prequels, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that he is a great actor. He has acted and sounded pretty much the same in everything I have seen him in.
I originally joined this board because I wanted to fan-edit Episode III. Back then I collected movies and TV-series with Ian McDiarmid just for collecting lines of him - and yes, all his characters' lines sound as if Palpatine delivered them.
BTW, there is also a lot of Liam Neeson's lines from other movies that you could reuse as lines for Qui-Gon Jinn. (Just add lightsabers to Batman Begins. :-þ ... ) Up to the point that he started channelling Charles Bronson, that is...

The score for Menace is sublime. I wish there were some way to separate the music from the negative emotions.

In terms of the prequel trilogy The Phantom Menace is a mediocre film with some good qualities.
The other 2 prequels were mostly messes and Hayden Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker was not the noble figure that Obi Wan Kenobi spoke of in A New Hope, he even feels like the template for Kylo Ren.
The strange thing is they could’ve easily been salvaged.
Couldn’t they have probably had Ben Barnes as Anakin Obi Wan’s swashbuckling heroic ally, also could’ve gone with eg, Debbie McWilliams as the casting director instead of Robin Gurland, Samuel L Jackson could have been left out and Mace Windu scrapped, overrated actor in my opinion and Windu a generic bland character, long neck Jedi, gas mask Jedi and injured Goblin Jedi were just odd, Darth Maul could’ve been given a bigger role and his scheme is to bring The Sith back to prominence, scrap Jar Jar Binks and the Gungans, have a puppet Yoda that looks like the Yoda from The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi, voila better than the original film.
The other 2 imagine if Chris Columbus or Andrew Adamson had directed?
Episode 2, The plot’s a sinister army of clones has been unleashed and the Rebellion has been established to stop said threat, Palpatine intends to stop the Clone Wars by creating The Empire, Anakin’s goal is to turn the tide on the war, Palpatine tells him the only way to destroy the dark side is to join it. Count Nellith (Christopher Lee) wants revenge against the Jedi for not letting him become the most powerful of all but by the end comes to his senses and befriends Obi Wan also he doesn’t want Anakin to become figuratively the man he became. Anakin has turned and the galaxy is in peril, cliffhanger.
Episode 3, Obi Wan Kenobi and the Jedi are on the run, betrayed by Chancellor Palpatine, Obi Wan faces a mysterious threat Darth Vader but does he really want to find out he truly is.
