Yeah, Scott, please do give your opinions, but you’re stating them as if they’re fact or demands. Like when you said “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,” that’s fine, but for every other criticism you’re just going “no, don’t do that, do this.”
Alright. I was just trying to save time and use relatively few words. I did not want my tone to come across in that manner. Of course, my opinions are purely subjective, and they are not facts or demands. I can only give my point of view; I cannot speak for everyone. I figured that Smithers would want as much constructive feedback as possible from as many people as possible.
I have no idea how it would even be possible to pull off many of those changes. For example, Jango Fett is the assassin whom Obi-Wan is seeking in Episode II. If you remove him, would you not have to remove the assassination attempt as well? And if there is no assassination attempt, what is the explanation for why Anakin and Padmé travel to Naboo?
What surprises would removing Yoda from the Star Wars prequels preserve?
How will you change General Grievous’ four lightsabers into a single double-sided red lightsaber?
Wouldn’t the contrast between the live action Darth Maul and the CGI Darth Maul be too jarring?
Do you intend to remove Darth Maul’s death from Episode I?
What lightsaber fights (other than presumably Yoda’s) would you want to eliminate? What new ending would you have at the end of your second episode?
If Padmé does not die, why does she willingly part with her son Luke?
I am so confused!
Some of the changes, such as Anakin finishing C-3PO and taking him to Coruscant, more Darth Maul, the clone army intervening after the invasion of Naboo, a different child Anakin voice, and so forth, would be epic if you could pull them off.
