I’m going to play with this idea, I just realized that since the opening will be moved to the third act:
-Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon go to the droid control ship <span style=“line-height: 14.4px;”>undercover at</span> the end and are spotted so they have to fight some droids
-They make their way down to the hangar when Darth Maul shows up
-Meanwhile, Padme and Naboo soldiers battle droids in the palace while there’s a battle outside the droid control ship
-Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan battle Maul in the power generator and it ends with only Obi-Wan escaping alive
-Obi-Wan gets on that red ship (that didn’t get blown up) and destroys the control ship from the inside (instead of Anakin going into a war)
I know this would take some VFX but I think it would work
I like the idea of Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon battling Darth Maul inside the Droid Control Ship. It would be reminiscent of Luke battling Vader and Sidious aboard the second Death Star.
