It would be cool if the Naboo pilots held out for a long time slowly being worn down by the sheer number of the droids and then just as it looks like they are all going to die, the Jedi turn up in fighters and the droid control ship is destroyed by Obi-Wan from inside after killing Maul on the ship instead of on the planet.
The Jedi come across as heroes for once at least.
It would explain why the whole council are on the planet at the end of the movie.
This is do-able, but only if one manages to pull off the jedis on the control ship and the rest on the planet. I’ve personally played around with this and found it extremely difficult if not impossible to pull off, but I’m still trying things. What makes it so difficult is that, while you could cut the jedi out of shots certain shots and replace the background, it’s a much harder thing to remove them from the many many shots where they appear alongside the naboo-ians as they storm Theed palace. The most challenging shots being where darth maul is revealed: it involves removing the jedi and changing the background to resemble the ship, removing maul and changing the background, and possibly also trying to fill in the empty space left from where the jedi were if you want to salvage that shot for use with Amidala and the naboo-ians.
(p.s. What the hell are we supposed to call people from Naboo? Qui-Gon refers to them as ‘The Naboo’ but idfk if that’s accurate or not)
