(Spoilers)How could The Force Awakens have been more original?

Yep and that’s a pretty good film; not perfect but leagues better than the PT and (imo) better than ROTJ. And what’s even better is that for all of TFA’s failings in certain areas there’s not a midichlorian, a virgin birth or a kid Boba Fett among them.

I suppose you can think that. But personally I would rather watch a jar jar montage interspersed with midichlorian technobabble and yoda dancing, on repeat for 8 hours than another second of TFA.

Abrams raped my childhood.

I have no problem with someone being masochistic though I’m not one to indulge in that particular “thrill”.

Also, midichlorians were introduced in 1978.

Lucas was a pretty good idea man but his ability to execute such things post ROTJ was nil. If anything JJ and Kasdan could have taken a couple of ideas George had and adapted it to Episode VII.

But they didn’t. And the result was as you see.

The Lucas of the late 70’s - early 80’s is gone. You need to accept that. His ability to craft a story comparable to the OT or TFA has dissipated.

I don’t think so at all, the prequel story was fundamentally good. While his directing ability is questionable, there’s no reason to think that he wouldn’t be able to write a good continuation. Indeed he very likely had a lot of it written out in notes and so on beforehand, talking about the sequel trilogy going as far back as the set of IV. He admits his dialogue isn’t great himself, but that’s not an insurmountable obstacle. Have another writer do a dialogue pass.

But only he really truly knows where the story needs to go.

#2: In absence of that script, the backstory for the film is far more interesting than the film itself. The battle of Jakku, the formation of the new jedi order, Luke training Han and Leia’s kid. That kid falling to the dark side etc. It’s an amateur writers mistake to not tell the most interesting part of your story.

I agree the backstory sounds more interesting than the film itself but a proper sequel to ROTJ would have been made decades ago and not now. You can’t really blame TFA for the 30 year time gap between it and ROTJ.

The Force Awakens : Fan Edit Ideas
Time

darthrush said:
Very good idea!

But…I came up with the idea first :[

Lord Haseo said:

  • Removal the TIE Fighter exploding in the sand
  • Make it so that when our heroes are spotted in Maz’s Castle the First Order spy sees them and reports that she found the droid and the Resistance droid does so a minute or two later
  • Trimming the on foot chase when Finn and Rey are being perused by Storm Troopers.
  • Trimming the Rathtar scene
  • Removal of the weirder than fuck hug between Leia and Rey
  • Trimming the interrogating in the interrogation scene between Rey and Kylo Ren
  • Making Snoke’s hologram obviously a hologram
  • Remove helicopter shot

Info: Bad news for anybody wanting to use the deleted scenes in a TFA fanedit or extended edition

The Best possible deleted scene I have read about is the Rey being hunted down by the Alien that they stole the Falcon off. She tries to use her gun and get’s disarmed. This is in Maz’s castle. Chewie then rips one of his arms off and throws it on a table where some aliens are playing a game.

I don’t think that’s a deleted scene but it is in the novelization.
