So in light of the impending release of episode VII - has anyone thought of ideas which might tie the PT to the ST? Lucas allegedly once said pre-PT that the threat within an ST would be revealed during the PT.
Well we kind of have to see EpVII before we can even think of ways to connect the trilogies.
Yes - this is true obviously - but there is no harm throwing ideas right? And especially in light of the extended Star Wars Lore that is growing in light of the new films.
An agenda on this forum when editting the PT is how it should always be made to fit with the OT. So sometimes this is visually, musically, or adjusting details in the story etc. Sometimes there are certain features such as the overwhelming use of exotic aliens, landscapes and spaceships which would have been impossible in the 70s/80s which make it not fit. Much of this bias might shift in light of the ST, which seems to synthesise both from what the trailers are suggesting.
Two ideas that were batted around ages ago that seemed a bit ‘un-star warsy’ at the time, might have more legitimacy now for instance -
A masked villain in TPM, who is unmasked in AOTC - revealed to be Count Dooku. Ep7 reveals additional factions of dark jedi which have started up since the end of ep6 - could something similar be used at the start of the saga? An additionally filmed actor with a mask would bring a welcome consistent villain for the PT.
I suggested ages ago that GEONOSIS could be a sort of ‘travelling planet’ - so a plot point would be the republic trying to track it down as it is being used as a sort of mobile base. A bit absurd - and no idea how it would work - but in light of what may be suggested in certain film posters, planet wide enemy base isn’t too unfeasible?
