My Prequels will be edited into two movies, one being a radical edit of TPM and the other being about a half hour of AOTC followed by a completely reordered version of ROTS.

Phantom Menace Changes/Plans (so far):
-100% remove Jar Jar and the Gungans using rotoscoping and image keying
-no “decoy” subplot
-re-dub young Anakin
-re-dub Neimodians
-re-dub Darth Maul
-remove Darth Sidious
-C3PO gets finished and taken to Coruscant
-remove Yoda as a character (preserving surprises)
-add in Count Dooku
-add more Darth Maul
-introduce the clone army as a solution to Naboo’s invasion
-only two battles during the climax rather than four
-Anakin doesn’t go to war as a ten year old kid
-other little changes

AOTC/ROTS Changes/Plans (so far):
-follow same rules as my TPM edit^
-no forbidden love
-less lightsaber fights
-General Grievous is Darth Maul (re-dubbing and special effects)
-Anakin’s turn is more gradual and understandable
-Anakin doesn’t kill children
-Mace Windu’s lightsaber is blue
-Mace Windu is a complete dick
-Palpatine doesn’t electrocute himself until he becomes a genital wart
-no Jango Fett
-other little changes
-change/add in new versions of Anakin’s nightmares
-Padme doesn’t die
-new ending

Many more major changes to the stories are coming, but I just want to make sure they actually work out before announcing them everything in the list above will be happening for sure.

THE PHANTOM MENACE

  1. Retain Yoda in Episode I. Yoda is the Grand Master of the Jedi Council and one of the few redeeming features of the film. Removing his character would not preserve any revelations.
  2. Personally, I like the idea of Anakin destroying the Droid Control Ship at such a young age, a feat which demonstrates his abilities as a pilot.
  3. Do not re-dub Darth Maul.
  4. Keep Darth Sidious.

ATTACK OF THE CLONES & REVENGE OF THE SITH.

I dislike all of these changes:

  1. No, keep Padmé’s death and merely remove the line, “She has lost the will to live.” Her death is poetic: Padmé dies as Anakin is reborn as Darth Vader.
  2. The Jedi Order is a monastic order of warrior monks, so the forbidden love theme makes sense.
  3. No, keep Padmé’s death and merely remove the line, “She has lost the will to live.”
  4. As a Jedi Master, Mace Windu’s lightsaber should be green, not purple or blue.
  5. No, keep all of the lightsaber duels except for Yoda’s.
  6. No, General Grievous should be a different character.
  7. No, Jango Fett is a bad ass.
