Some pages back I mention that one of the problems I have with the invasions and battles in the prequels is there aren’t many signs of peril for the populations of the worlds we see.
Naboo is still a garden paradise, we don’t see the Gungan city ruined, we don’t see the effects of the war on Coruscant.
I imagine many people on here would have seen this Star Trek ‘fan film’ extended prelude and maybe read about the problems that the film makers have had with Paramount but it does manage to create a tangible sense of loss and portent with very minimal actors and effects shots of destruction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W1_8IV8uhA
It’s a shame the Klingons don’t have a title which means “the final MILF”.
