STAR WARS - Episode I : The Ancient Lore [TPM Remade]

In the works for over two years now at Fanedit.org, i present Episode I; The Ancient Lore.

Episode I is the best-looking of the three prequels, with a lot of devotion put into them from both the crew, actors as well as the director himself before he went all ludacris on Digital Moviemaking. It is also the most dull of the three prequels, with little to no character motivation or even plot explanation. It had to be remade.

The Ancient Lore’s narrative does not resemble anything close to what you have seen before. It is completely new, and with that a completely new beginning.

/////////////////////////////////////////
/////// CHANGES & ALTERATIONS:: ////////
///////////////////////////////////////

• There are many new visual effects, and many alterations to both audio (voice and alien language) as well as music and sound effects.
• Appearances of Lord Sidious will have his hologram face hidden for start of the movie to create mystery. Voice altered when in hologram form, and new plot points given.
• The Nemodians (Nute Gunray & Co.) now speak in foreign Alien language, to give of new and menacing voices, as well as completely new plot points for the story.
• The Purple saber of Mace Windu will be removed in my trilogy, and given to Qui-Gon. It makes him more important, and fits his rogue style as he choses not to be on the Jedi Council. Mace Windu will get green.
• Jar-Jar Binks has a new voice.
• Battle Droids has a new voice.
• Jar-Jar Binks will serve as comic relief, although appearances or voice from him that diminish an important character or story moment, will be removed or decreased.
• Qui-Gon is the main character of the story. Obi-Wan and Anakin are sidecharacters that will get to shine a little bit throughout, but are part of a bigger puzzle to occur in the later entries of the trilogy.
• Story narrative completely altered. The beginning of the movie in the Trade Federation Ship now takes place in the middle of the movie, and the story now starts with a Space chase, Naboo and the saving of the Queen.

/////// THE PLOT IS AS FOLLOWS:: ///////
///////////////////////////////////////

Dispatched by the Jedi Council, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jin and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi is on a highly important mission to the planet of Meera in the Naboo system, to find and secure the Queen of Naboo herself, after having received intel on invasion plans from the presumed, Rpublic-friendly The Trade Federation. They are revealed to be co-operating with dark forces not known to the Jedi Council nor the Republic, having killed Senators, Queens and Politicians for years, overtaking their planets and intelligence.

As The Trade Federation is revealed to be creating Droid Armies - with one already in possession, the goal is to invade the planet of Naboo, control the Queen until she is no longer needed, and then execute her.

As the Jedi are soon to figure out, the Queen has just left the planet of Meera after finishing up political business, and is back on Naboo. [Now, this is where the edit picks up and we are brought right into the action after the opening crawl.] Unbeknownst to her this entire plot is in motion - though suspicious, but not before the communcation is shut down does she realize that her planet is under attack.

The Nemodians have gathered political supporters, systems, planets - and most importantly - techonology and intelligence - through the co-operation with Palpatine, aka. Lord Sidious, for years. Naboo is the movie’s target for invasion, because this is where Palpatine sees fit to create his Clone Army; Naboo has everything they need - the huge space travel gap between them and the Republic, and all the resources needed. But this plot is not known to anyone but the Nemodians and Palpatine himself, which is something they only discuss in great secrecy.

It is not before the defeat of The Trade Federation (the separtists) on the Planet of Naboo, that Sheev Palpatine realizes his recklessness and executes his plans far beyond the reach of the Republic, in the dark corner of the galaxy on the planet of Kaminoo, with the help of corrupted Master Syfo-Dius and Count Dooku - plotting for even more years to come - which is what leads into Attack of the Clones.[/SIZE]

You can go over to fanedit.org for full overview of the project, although I’ll happily answer any questions regarding the project right here.

Have you uploaded this edit anywhere? If so where? I’d love to check this out.

It’s not out yet guys…

Seemingly I haven’t made myself clear and failed to say that; this is a WORK-IN-PROGRESS. I’m very much open to feedback and ideas. 😃

I’ll be keeping an eye on this edit, I like the idea of Anakin intentionally killing Sebulba, foreshadows quite a lot. However the music could definitely use a change, another thing I would change would be how Sebulba’s death is executed, here’s how I might’ve done it:

*Anakin + Sebulba have they’re scuffle as usual
*Sebulba’s Pod goes out off control, pod impacts ground at high speed
*Cuts back to a close up shot of Anakin, in the distance behind Anakin we see the explosion of Sebulba’s pod. Anakin maybe even grins slightly (As if, A. he’s glad Sebulba’s dead, or B. He’s simply happy he’s gonna win the race or both lol)

I would make video to demonstrate this, but I can’t since I’m stuck with iMovie so the demonstration wouldn’t be very effective.

I agree. 😃
