the only movies that need work are really ep 1 and 2. cut about 20 minutes from each and i would be a happy dude. also lucas wanted to cut the discussion of what to do with the twins at the end of ep3 because he thought it would be redundant. i agree with that seeing as how obi wan explains everything to luke in rotj

i dont care if its the SE or not i just wish lucas' dvd experts would tone down the color and brighten the picture up. to me thats more a reason why the ot and the pt dont match up than anything else

i agree, as much as i like the tragedy aspect of rots, the dialogue and acting is still off putting as well as the overly mediocore cged look. i wish lucas had pushed for more believable acting, i know he was going after a style, but a little more effort in that regard would have helped. also the prequels dont flow as well, they just feel like a bunch of loosely connected scenes strung one after another

How about the biggest plot hole of them all. Why does Leia remember Padme in ROTJ, but Luke doesn't?

Sadly, Lucas painted himself into a corner on this one. If he had Padme take Leia away, perserving the "she died when I was very young" it would of made everyone even more mad. Everyone would be asking "What ever happened to Padme? Why is she dead?" So you had to have her die, to provide closure on the character, and to explain why Vader isn't still looking for her.

As for how to view it, having the prequels cut into the original trilogy is the only was I can think of to do it and have it perserve the secrets. The "Godfather II" method would do this. But since I've seen it, I would guess the best way would be I-VI. For a new person, I would recommend release order. IV-VI, I-III.

I don't think so. I think it would have made perfect sense. Again, not everything has to be spelled out. It would actually amount to a heartwrenching sequence where Obi-Wan and Yoda make it known to her that she has to give up one of her children in order to keep them safe. And then have Bail offer to hide Padme and Leia on Alderaan. We don't actually have to see her die, as we're already told in Return of the Jedi that she died when Leia was very young. And then, as we did before Sith came out, our little minds can fill in the gaps.

Oh, and you can still have the Emperor tell Vader that Vader killed Padme since he was supposed to be lying in the first place. Problem solved.

yeah but vader would sense her presence

i agree cg just seems SO cg. and i agree directors, even peter jackson, use it as a crutch.

i dont care about plot holes as long as one of the prequels was entertaining, thankfully rots was (for me at least)

maybe if adamwankenobi had seen ANH, waited 3 years, saw ESB, waited three years, saw ROTJ, then waited 16 YEARS and saw ep 1 he could share are viewpoint

i think it would be neat for someone to see the movies 1-6 if only to see if they were shocked by palpatine being sidious and the good guy(anakin) ending up evil

by the way i would LOVE to see a remastered holiday special, does lucas hold all the rights to that show? someone else could put it out, by the way those comical super battle droids would be right at home in the holiday special along with r2s 'cuteness'

there really isnt an answer to this, but i still think its a cool idea that the sith kill each other off all the time, seems fitting for villains

i agree with co. rots pretty much takes care of the prequel story all by itself. everything else just smacks of filler.

the problem is lucas made the pt to anakin centric, if he hadnt the whole trilogy wouldve been about the clone wars, and anakins turn wouldnt of happened till the very end. but before that he wouldve given us alot of action and humor reminiscent of the ot so one trilogy wouldnt have overwhelmed the other like it does now

i liked those scenes if only because it kind of grounded anakin and padmes relationship instead of it being so 'out there'

i also cant wrap my head around watching 1-6 without it seeming really disjointed. i wish lucas hadnt made the prequels so one dimensional about anakins wierd attachment issues. also both anh and rotj explain things about the backstory that seem redundant and /or dont exactly jibe with what the prequels showed us. if they tried to match each others look photographically it could work, maybe when they remaster either the prequels or the ot they could do that, i think it would help

i'm sorry for dissing the idea of this thread, anyways i have a rewrite for ya that i thought after i had seen AOTC for he 30th time how rots was gonna start. obi wan said anakin would be expelled from the jedi order for his love of padme, i always thought at the beginning of rots that anakin had been expelled for marrying padme, and was living near the lars homestead with padme, when obi wan came and asked anakin to help fight one last battle in the clone wars. wouldve explained more of the relationship between anakin obi wan and owen better as talked about in ANH i think
