Hi everyone!
While watching the prequel trilogy, I always thought that Revenge of the Sith basically told us basically everything we needed to know from Anakin’s backstory and what’s been referenced in the OT - Anakin’s fall to the dark side, the Clone Wars, the creation of the Empire, etc. I also think that The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones aren’t nearly as enjoyable as Revenge of the Sith. So, if the third movie tells us everything we need to know from the prequels and it’s the best one, why not making it a standalone experience? That’s what been trying to do. I’m not a particularly skilled editor, so if you like this idea, feel free to make this project as well!
The basis for the edit is Hal900’s Labyrinth of Evil, because it already makes some great changes to the movie. The biggest issues are:
- Removing the Chosen one prophecy
- Setting up the Clone Wars (who are the Separatists, why is the Republic using clones, who are the Sith and what’s their role in all of this)
- Removing references to the other movies (Anakin’s mother, Qui-Gon, the sand people)
- Somehow - and that’s my biggest struggle - set up why Obi-Wan takes Luke to Tatooine. This one is hard because, without Attack of the Clones, Yoda’s line of “taking Luke to his family on Tatooine” don’t make sense.
- I think Padmé is introduced pretty well in this movie, and her expanded role in Labyrinth of Evil really helps that.
- Maybe including Obi-Wan’s scene with Luke in A New Hope for context.
- Rescoring the scenes after the cuts.
So, that’s it, if anyone has any ideas, wants to do it or wants to help me with rescoring after I finish cutting, just hit me up!
