The Sith Reborn- A Prequel Trilogy Edit — Page 2

I wish there was. I just need a version of Revenge of the Sith and Attack of the Clones which is good quality and isn't an MKV file. Then I'd be able to start the final edition of my edit.

Still I've got some random ideas and cuts in my head on how I can attmept to preserve the shock of Vader being Luke's father. One of which is making Anakin and Vader have no link and also cut the link between Obi Wan being Anakin's apprentice. I think that may do the trick.

 What is the source of the version you do have?

 I have a torrent versions of the Blu Rays. Of course I have the Blu Ray copies themselves but I don't have a Blu Ray player to rip them onto my laptop. These versions are about 2GB's a movie and it really effects the quality.

Any progress on getting released? This project sounds very interesting

Hi, I really wanted to hold out on announcing this before I actually start weaving the new edit plan together but I can't ignore your question... it would be rude to.

So I have decided that I am going to use more of Attack of the Clones in this edit since Revenge of the Sith doesen't do a great job, on its own, to introduce aspects of the Prequels like:

• The Jedi Council
• Palpatine and why he is d*ck 
• Anakin and Padmes relationship
• The C.I.S
• and why we should care for Samuel L. Jackson, he literally would have like 6 lines in the movie

So i've been spending my days calculting how I can make AOTC into a 30-40 minute prologue to the movie and I have a decent structure which will sow itself into ROTS.

The Jedi Council send Obi Wan, Anakin and Padme to Geonosis to investigate a possibly droid factory being built. First Obi Wan flys in and find the factory with Count Dooku and his crew inside. He then sends a transmission to Panakin who are on the outskirts of the same planet (this will be acheived by colour correcting the scene to make Tatooine look like Geonosis)  and also the Republic in Coruscant. Obi Wan gets captured and Panakin go to rescue him. Palpatine in response orders a clone army. The Fett's wont be in this movie so Panakin never get captured they just burst into the arena to help Obi. The Jedi then arrive to kick arse, this is there first chronological appearance. The clones arrive shortly afterwards. The Anakin and Obi get rekt by Count Dooku then Yoda arrives (this is his first chronological apperance) he fights of Dooku with the FORCE and not his saber unti Dooku retreats. They all fly home. The bridge between AOTC and ROTS will go nicely; we see the Clone army looking awesome then a montage of Anakin and Padme falling in love, hopefully a combination of John Williams and a couple of nice shots will convince the audience. Anakin then has a nightmare of Padme dying or something and Anakin wakes up and we are now 5 years ahead. We then cut to the space battle of Coruscant where we see how everything has changed, Anakin and Obi Wan never board the ship we just go straight back to Coruscant where Anakin and Obi are looking smug.

Major Changes:

. Dooku is now the side-villan, not Grievous (he can now be cut)

. Dooku and the C.I.S aren't alligned with Palpatine, the Empire would be the 3rd side in the war which would wipe everyone out.

. Dooku's death will be moved to order 66 montage so its shows Anakins gradual rise of power to the point where he could single-handily overthrow Dooku

. We only get one AOTC flashback in the ROTS period and thats when Anakin finds his mother.

Hopefully that's a decent update and I hope the AOTC prologue will work out well. 

Thank you for the detailed reply!

Hello, this project is still alive. I'm still trying to figure out what series of events would make the best movie for a Star Wars fan to watch. I have even tried creating a 3 in 1 edit for the prequels. Yes, I did create a satisfying 18 minute prologue using The Phantom Menace, but I am still unsure on where to go.

A 3-in-1 edit would be overwhelming to the audience

A AOTC & ROTS edit would have very slow pacing

and A ROTS edit would not give you enough information to care about the main characters...

So yeah, I'm still experimenting with the footage. Although, if anyone has any ideas of what they would like to see from the movies, maybe that will be considered :) .

I quite liked your original idea. While ROTS didn't give us much character development, the whole prequel trilogy didn't give us much either. I would use as little of the other prequels as possible, if I were you.

Yeah I do think that my original idea would be a good one to stick to. The only problem this would create is the treatmemt of Padme's character. When she's introduced into this movie we have to accept that she is in a relationship with Anakin and she is pregnant, yet in the rest of the movie, Anakin is a complete d*ck to her... So I'm confuddled there.

Won't the relationship flashback solve that issue?

I hope it will, I'm sure it will be ok, I just need to experiment with the footage so it won't throw the audience off gaurd

Here is how I would order the romance flashback:

-Anakin and Padme arrive at Naboo (why they do doesn't need to be explained, the audience can fill in the blanks), but cut their convo about politics, and the meeting with the queen.

-They go to Padme's parents house, but not in Padme's room (that scene is cheesy).

-They have dinner (the floating pear scene).

-They walk to the lake pier, cutting "I don't like sand," and "I love the water."

-They kiss, but don't pull away, which fades into the next day.

-After their convo about Anakin's mother, we cut back to the present day.

And later on (I'd put it after Mace leaves to confront Palpatine, but before Padme's ruminitions) we cut to Anakin and Padme landing on Tatooine. I would order it as such:

-Establishing shot of Tatooine, but cut Watto scene.

-Cut scene where they meet 3PO and he introduces them to the Lars's (which implies that they already know each other).

-Cut Yoda sensing Anakin's pain.

-Cut establishing shot of the funeral (to be used later).

-Cut Clieg's speech.

-Perhaps reverse shot of Anakin walking to his mother's grave and insert it after he gives his eulogy.

-Cut R2 arriving at the Homestead.

-Insert establishing shot at the end, but reverse it so it pans up into the sky, then cut back to present day.

Wow, that sounds like it could actually work. I feel that the tusken raider killing frenzy should also remain in this edit since it will really highlight Anakin's dark side urges. But I will definitely try your idea, thanks for your support on the edit :)

 lol happens all the time (unfortunately)... I think the intro to Anakin/Padme in the beginning of ROTS does a good job of putting the pieces together... 1) they are in love 2)she is pregnant 3)anakin is a bit conflicted... i think this scene along with the right scroll, will really fill in the blanks. We don't need to see as much lovey dovey stuff as you may think.

 Yeah, thinking about it, the introduction Padme in ROTS is actually a good blank-filler. I think a good scroll and also LuckyGungan's flashback idea may be enough "proof" to the audience.

Yeah sorry this is living, forgive me on my lack of progress.
