The Prequel Radical Redux Ideas Thread

So ANH and TFA both start off in space, then they cut to our hero, then our earlier introduced characters end up meeting and needing them. So in order to make TPM mirror ANH more, wouldn’t it be better to introduce Anakin before the other characters meet him? I think it would make more sense, one idea is to show Anakin being forced into a podrace by Watto and barely losing to Sebulba. Rather than having one long three-lap podrace, you could introduce Anakin earlier, establish him as a good pliot and have two short and exciting podraces. What do you guys think?

That’s an interesting concept but how would one manage to convey that?

Without a re-dub you’d have to remove most of their dialogue together and just simply show her crying or looking distressed most of the time while he pretty much gives her orders and manipulates her, actually now that I think of it that would make for a really interesting edit.

What do you plan on doing with Attack of the Clones? So far, you haven’t spoken about that at all, other than that you are combining it with Revenge of the Sith.

Attack of the Clones is going to be as short as possible, I despise that movie. Jango Fett will be removed, so will the forbidden love and so will almost the entire climax. Since the clone wars will be starting in my phantom menace edit I think I’ll be able to reduce the film down to a half-hour or less.

I think it would tie the trilogy together better aswell. For example, it was also remove the whole clone investigation on Kamino. I think how this would be done is to represent the Federation as the Separatists straight from the beginning so when Palpy says he will “eliminate the remaining threat of the Separatists” (or whatever) it will make more sense.

I’m doing this in my edit 😛

I’m glad to hear, did I give you the idea? or was this already thought of before the post?

No I’m doing this because I’m starting the clone wars in TPM and also out of my hate for AOTC I’m cutting it down as much as possible. Removing the investigation and Jango Fett altogether also makes Boba Fett more mysterious and I prefer it that way

Episode III: Revenge of the Ridiculousness

As there is already a heavily censored sex scene in the movie with one of Anakin’s nightmares, the joke might not be as funny the second time?

Unless someone can put a clone trooper helmet on Tommy Wiseau’s head? 😃

The horrors of The Holiday Special probably should be saved for the Ridiculous Original Trilogy.

Agreed on the sex scene

I think misc. holiday special footage should be randomly sprinkled throughout the series though

Adywan has access to a physical performer with a film quality Threepio suit so it may be possible to remove Jar-Jar and film the actor in similar locations so the reflections on the suit match the existing material.
Filming the actor infront of set shots rear projected onto a screen would have a similar effect of creating plausible reflections to aid fitting the suit into the footage. In ROTS they did a rather good job of correcting the reflections to remove cameras etc. I’m not saying it would be easy but Ady does seem to like a challenge and other edit artists do too so there is probably an old school solution to many of these idea proposals.

I think the solution to that is just to make 3P0 dirty, that’s how they did it in the OT

TMBTM’s silent editions are down as well, could you upload those?

Clean or dusty?

To clarify, I only have the clean slient editions (both PT and OT) but not the dusty editions.

And with that said, I recommend contacting TMBTM first. He’s still active and I’d rather not upload unless he wants it done.

I can’t find the clean versions and the links for the dusty ones seem to be down
