What would you want to see in a prequels reboot?

Prequel trilogy reboot is inevitable. Too much money to be made. Here’s what I wanna see in the reboot trilogy(abbrieviated RT):

  • Does not cover any backstory mentioned in the original trilogy, so as to not make the characters less compelling and the setting less immersive.
  • Takes place thousands of years before A New Hope. Yoda is not even born yet.
  • Force is all-inclusive. Everyone from babies to toasters and droids can become masters of the Force.
  • Sith do not have the title, Darth.

STAR WARS EPISODE 1: THE SITH WARS

Long long ago in a galaxy far far away

Years ago, the peaceful monks, Jedi, waged war across the galaxy in an attempt to convert everyone into a user of the Force

Many Jedi realized that these crusades were against Jedi teachings, which separated the Jedi into warriors and peacekeepers.

The warriors grew tired of their own religion’s limitations, so they created a new one: THE SITH. The Sith created many empires and regularly compete against each other for the title of GALACTIC EMPEROR OF ALL…

THE CHARACTERS

Heroes:

Mark Sunbutcher - Once a Jedi warrior who soon became disillusioned with war and the Sith. Despite his own wishes to remain peaceful, Mark realizes that if he does not end the Sith Wars, nobody will.

L7-42 - Mark’s droid Jedi master. Due to intense discrimination because of his droid status, L7 is as jaded, sarcastic, and cynical as they come, but he is surpisingly masterful in his usage of the Force and following of the Jedi teachings.

Tan Leviticus - Once followed the teachings of the Jedi, until her own inactivity and passiveness led to the destruction of her world. Out of her naivety and rage, she led a one man rebellion against the Sith until she was aided Mark. She realizes that she is becoming eerily close to the dark side, so she constantly attempts to seem shy and composed even if she’s a whirlwind of hate and guilt on the inside.

Albert Drew - Snobby bored detective placed in charge of arresting Leviticus though he later joins our other heroes for fun basically.

Zenith Prime - The most feared and powerful Sith in the galaxy. She manipulates entire Sith Empires to slaughter each other to further her plans to become Galactic Emperor which causes great trouble for our heroes.

NOTES: I based the Sith and the Jedi Crusades on Christianity while I kept the Jedi on their original trilogy Taoism and Zen Buddhism roots. I realized that the original trilogy was sorely lacking in the crime genre department, so I added the snobby detective, Albert Drew. Mark and Leviticus’ stories just seemed natural for the Sith Wars, while the wars themselves and L7 came out of the need to make the original trilogy’s all-inclusive Force as compelling as possible.

That’s all I have lol.

JEDIT: http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/The-New-Thread-Thread/id/12146

The first link starts off so unproffesional that even if I did post there, nobody would care.

The second one is acceptable, though, but kinda old and Anakin-centric. I wanted to make a thread where people discussed more about the past of Star Wars rather than Anakin and Obi Wan’s past.

The third one straight up doesn’t count. It’s about whether Disney will reboot the prequels and not about what should happen in the reboot trilogy.

Besides, do you have nothing better to do, Frink?

That’s a generalization. I mean that thread starts off with a misspelled wall of text then people talking about the thread’s obscurity! Just edited my second post in this thread, so please read it.

Can we talk about stories and not whether or not this thread should exist?

I don’t think George’s prequels had nearly enough Jar Jar Binks. The first episode should focus entirely on him this time. No Jedi or anything getting in the way.

And the second episode should be a straight romance film with Anakin and Padme. No action of any kind, no other characters. Just scene after scene of awkward, stilted dialogue about sand.

Third episode should literally just be Palpatine cackling for 2 hours and shouting “UNNNNNLIMITEDDDD POWAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!1!!”

You dont need to change any of the events in PT to make them good. Just different dialogue, less CG, less annoying Jar jar and better acting

I guess a PT which has as much ambiguity between itself and the OT as the OT has with the ST. We don’t see SNOKE’S rise to power, we don’t see KYLO REN born or fall, we don’t know who REY is.

Just watching the CLONE WARS sort of achieves this. So maybe something like that.

Why are you talking in ALL CAPS?

“That Darth Vader, man. Sure does love eating Jedi.”

That’s partial CAPS.

And he’s auditioning to be my VP but he doesn’t realize my campaign program was deleted.

So Qui Gon still finds out Anakin has- woah!-a bunch of midichlorians!?!? So Anakin is still the Chosen One even though he basically destroys the galaxy and is responsible for the deaths of children and genocide and destruction of planets and the loss of his son’s hand and the insanity of his grandchild (kylo ren oops spoilers) and almost more than half a century of war and oppresion via the Empire and the First Order?

So Padme still can’t marry Anakin because- gasp! - she’s a senator?!?!

So the Jedi are still really fucking dumb and couldn’t see a conspiracy if it slapped them in the face and pooped on their toenail collection?!?! So Palpatine and Yoda still have lightsabers even though Yoda is clearly physically weak in the Empire Strikes Back and does not like violence and Palpatine is a Sith who considers lightsaber “Jedi weapons”?

Think before you say plz.
