Ok what I have always wanted to see was all three original films cut into one film, now I here you saying ‘heard it, done it’ however has it been said in this way.
We all know Star Wars wasn’t intended as a series of films and Lucas had one 3hr (or so) film in his head and scripted, it was too long so it was split in three, sort of, I say sort of because Lucas didn’t think it would be a hit so the ending (Death Star battle) was brought forward and then of course the film did very well. So we get to Jedi and Lucas is left without an ending so what does he do? Re-uses the original. The only Star Wars film that works in my opinion is Empire because that was shot the way it was intended, as the middle part of a story.
What I’d like to see is something close to that original arc. Whether it means you would have to move the original Death Star battle to the end of Jedi or drop it completely in favour of the Death Star II battle I don’t know. I’d also like to see the Wookies from Sith put in because in the original 3hr script it was they who helped in the last battle not the dammed Ewoks, cos Lucas couldn’t afford to use Wookies, so he shrunk them instead. That idea could be very hard of pull off though.
I haven’t worked out any major details yet and no-doubt the Starkiller edit might have some things that might help (if they don’t mind me stealing). I am forgetting the prequels exist so any footage from those films is fair game if it helps my edit.
Anybody got any ideas, like a name for the project, plot points, what the one and only opening crawl will say?
