But still, Nute is talking it up with Sidious like old friends by hologram in ROTS: "The plan has gone as you had promised, my lord." or something like that...  WTH? I guess you could remove that too...?

Yes, I believe you can lose that scene too. Anytime any Neimodians talking can be cut... That's a good cut.

The only possible use I can see for those scenes would be in a redub.

Nute could make a last ditch attempt to beg for mercy from the new Emperor or still threaten to expose the truth in vain.

Palpatine could then assure the Viceroy that he will be 'taken care of'.

That would certainly be radical.  I'm thinking crawl and closing credits only.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

GORMALLY MOCKS YOUR PATHETIC ATTEMPT TO REMOVE GORMALLY FROM RIC OLIE.  HOWEVER, IF YOU SEARCH THE OFF-TOPIC FORUM, YOU MIGHT FIND ANOTHER WAY TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL.

GORMALLY BELIEVES YOU WOULD MAKE AN INTERESTING VESSEL, EYESHOTFIRST.

Just had a funky idea,

 

what if Anakin decides to join the sith before he goes and tells mace Palpatines identity, but doesnt say that HE is the sith

then when Mace confronts palps & sees the lightsaber pop out it of his sleave it is a shock to him and the other Jedi (maybe have it so they don't light up their blades until then.)

*confused* How is it a shock to them if, as you say, Anakin tells them Palpatine's identity?

Sorry wrote that in a hurry yesterday

 

my thinking is this 

Anakin decided to join el sid, & then goes to mace to say that the chancellor will not give up his powers (never mentioning his true identity)

 

then they go and get the shock of their lives

 

(I'm just looking for any excuse to remove the -

Mace: A sith lord?

Anakin: yeeesssss. The one we've been looking for?

Disastrous wooden Dialog

Man, Jake Lloyd gets on my tits! Anakin should have been older! In fact, it would be very tempting in my edits to make Episode 2 into Episode 1, Episode 3 into Episode 2, while padding them both out with some sequences from Phantom Menace where appropriate.

Of course, that would mean there'd be no episode 3 anymore. Lol.

But seriously, whilst Episode 1 is arguably the best of the prequels, it totally butchers the origins of Anakin Skywalker (as well as how it ruins our preconceptions established in ANH that Owen and Beru knew Anakin very well before Obi Wan dragged him on an "idealistic crusade")

The best of the prequels?

Maybe if you remove the first half of the movie... Sorry just my opinion..  But the opening is sooooooo slllllloooooooooooowwwwwww.

Ep. 1 irritates me on so many levels. Remember the first time you saw Vader.... First 5 minutes, he's breaking someones neck. He wasted no time to let you know he's the villain of this film, and that there is reason to be afraid of him.... From that point on, when he's in a scene, you're waiting on what crazy evil thing he's going to do next.

At ANY point, did ANYONE feel that in Ep. 1? Or any of them for that matter.

Darth Maul was closes to any character to making a scene feel dangerous.. But yet, he failed. For me anyway. Star Wars needs a villain that owns the villain title. Not these green bumbling idiots we seen TPM.

Anyway, just my 2 cents. However it could be better that AOTC. But to me AOTC suffers from very similar issues.... Overly political... And also politically stupid.... One VOTE impeaches a chancellor?

Ugh.. I'm done ranting. Everyone have a coke and a smile! =)

I always wanted Beru to be Anakin's sister... That would make far more sense that what actually happened.
