Where is all this Indy IV love coming from? I couldn't stand that movie! I seriously barely made it through my first and only viewing of the film. Like Captain Solo described, it was a very stressful viewing experience. What I always liked about the later two Indy movies is that they are just fun, stupid, mindless adventure movies. Should be able to just sit back an enjoy them, but as your siting back trying to enjoy it, Indy IV would occasionally ball up a fist and sock you in the brain. Once you adjusted to this new level of unbelievability or came to terms with a really dumb new bit of the plot and were able to start enjoying once more, it'd do it to you again! The whole movie was like this.

Better than the prequels? I'd rather watch all three in order than ever have to suffer through a viewing of Indy IV again.

 This.

I'm amazed by how much you remind me of my mom.

Shuttlecocks!

 They're huge! I took a bunch of pictures of them! I would upload some pictures of the shuttlecocks I took, but my computer is broken. Again. Piece of shit.

Did you see the steel tree?

(btw the tree is life size)

 

I'm glad we have the same tastes RedFive! You should post some more paintings, to see what else in common we share!

Most Full of Shit:

Had to skim the thread to figure out why I was being accused of being full of shit. When I got to Fink's nomination and the thread he linked to I really literally actually LOL'ed for real.

Can't believe it has now been a whole year and a few days since I ceased the common human practice of defecation.

 Sorry, 3PX. It was Frink's idea!

I have a very peculiar taste in art. Here's some pictures of my favorite paintings:

 

Salvador Dali

 

Rene Magritte

I also like the oldies, too.

Sebastian Pether - The Eruption of Vesuvius

The Birth of Venus

Jan Van Eyk - The Marriage of Arnofini

 

I got the opportunity to see another couple favorites of mine in person, Water Lilies by Claude Monet and Young Man in a Black Beret by Rembrant being prime examples.

These are pictures that I took of them.

^(immediately after I took this, I was told that photography of this painting was not allowed. I was lucky!)

Here's the Rembrandt:

 

There are many other interesting pieces I saw there, (including things by Van Gogh, Jackson Pollack, Leonardo Da Vinci, Gaugin, Salvador Dali, Seurat, Thomas Hart Benton, among many others) so I will upload those eventually, along with some videos on YouTube.

The outside of the museum is also beautiful.

Idea: Radically altering the Prequel Trilogy storyline one film at a time
Time

Here's my advice:

Write a screenplay of this great story you have. When done, get help from other people in cleaning up your script for a final draft.

Get as much footage from the prequels as you could possibly use for this.

Buy a camera.

Get a group of actors who look like the characters. (actually, the only likenesses that matter are Obi and Anakin)

Get a green screen

Find some locations.

Film them.

Have someone (ady?) help you with visual effects.

Win!

It may seem really hard, but it's more realistic than doing it as a fanedit. You could also revisit this idea in 20 years or so when technology is better. I like your idea, but this idea would need about 100 people working on it, and not just over the internet.

That's my two pence.
