Fairuz Hidayat has a topic on this forum where he discusses his early ideas for a fan edit. The idea came up to place Palpatine's early AotC discussion about the seperatists and the turmoil in the republic before the jedi go to negotiate with the Trade Federation. His rough cut had a perfect hard cut between the line "My Negotiations, will not fail." to the Jedi's ship speeding past the camera and towards the federation ship. This gave me an idea, and in the night I was thinking about how starting the movie like this could be the start of a fan edit maybe. But obviously the prequels are too silly to really make anything good out of, I thought. Then the thought popped into my head: Split the attack of the clones up, and create a prequel fan edit duology! Wheels were turning, thoughts were molding, and I really think this could be a game changer. And so, today I started writing an actual script for this imaginary edit. Now, it's not a real script, just a scene by scene write up, but it tells the full story. And I sure would love your criticism and feedback. I can't think of anything, but I am very sure I missed a lot of problems and scene changes that might be needed. So any details of your reaction are sorely needed.
Now here's the link to download the psuedo script: File "Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith duology script.docx"
Here's a TL;DR version if it:
-Opens with naboo vs trade federation space battle.
-All Jar Jar and Gungan City scenes cut.
-All tatooine scenes from TPM are cut.
-All battle droid dialogue cut.
-Trade Federation aliens use subtitles for dialogue changes.
-After the battle for naboo (with only the queen vs viceroy and jedi vs sith parts retained) qui-gon is burned and then the attack of the clones footage starts.
-The Clone Wars ends with the burial of Anakin's mother, and seperatist meeting and other geonosis footage is moved to the beginning of sith.
-First action scene of sith is geonosis arena and battle.
-Death star mini plot removed
-Ends on Darth Vader reveal, with him center screen.
