Cool ideas. It’s interesting to start TPM on Tatooine. Hopefully there’d be a way to compensate for runtime. And there might be some existing edits to your preferred concept for ROTS!
Sorry for changing topics, but I was curious if this idea had been suggested before.
I’ve been trying to think of ways to repair plot inconsistencies between the trilogies, and one of the major ones that seems overlooked in my opinion is the whole relationship between Anakin and Owen/Beru. They seem close in the OT but they barely could even be considered acquaintances in the PT.
So would it be possible to turn Kitster’s character into a young Owen? It could help them seem more like old friends rather than strangers. 3PO could call him “Mastern Owen” in TPM and both Anakin and Qui-Gon say the word “win” a few times in the movies if I recall correctly, so you might be able to make that work. You could even make one of the girl kids into Beru if that could even be possible. Then when Anakin comes back to find his mom in AOTC, he find’s out she married Owen’s dad. You may need to redub Owen in AOTC though to make it more like a reunion rather than an introduction.
I think one big issue though is that Kitster seems to be a POC while Owen is white. So it might throw people off unless they can overlook it.
