I would like some of this.

I think I speak for everyone here when I say that the Emperor should be replaced by Pope Benedict XVI!

As far as a love triangle idea goes, I have to agree with C3PX.  For people coming from having seen the OT (which is nearly everybody), the interest is in the Anakin/Obi-Wan relationship.  Padme is an unknown factor.  To have Obi-Wan actually sneaking behind Anakin's back and having an affair with Padme would damage his character and credibility even more than the OT retconning did.  One of the problems with the PT that is constantly brought up is that Obi-Wan and Anakin didn't have enough time together to be shown as being really good friends.  Well, if Obi-Wan spends the films having a clandestine affair with Anakin's wife, that wouldn't exactly help matters, would it?  However, I did think Anakin's suspicions of an affair was a good idea and was surprised they cut it down.  So I agree that Obi-Wan being the bigger man and cutting off a budding relationship would have worked to fulfill both of those problems.

I don't think the love triangle affair would have damaged the credibility of Obi-Wan in the OT, if it had been played out in the right way. In the PT, Obi-Wan could have been shown to have had these feelings towards Padmé but, him being the model Jedi, never acted on them. He needn't have had to actually have an affair, all that needed be there was the thought. In would have added much tension.

Yes, the interest is on the Anakin/Obi-Wan relationship, and this would have added a new layer of depth to this. On the one side they are master/padawan friends, and on the other side, rivals for love (but only from Anakin's point of view). It could have given a much better transition for Anakin's swift change from Jedi to Sith.

The love triangle was actually put to good use by Lucas in the original trilogy. I don't know why he didn't employ more of the same in the prequels. In the Phantom Menace, Anakin is way too young for Padme to fall in love with. That leaves either Qui-Gon or Obi-Wan as potential love interests, and we all know that Qui-Gon is short lived. It could have been that Obi-Wan was Padme's first choice, but he was too faithful to his Jedi roots. He could still kiss, embrace, exchange meaningfull stares with her throughout the 3 movies. He just wouldn't take it to the last step. Then when Anakin's mother dies, the only reason Padme is intimate with him is out of pity, not because she has the hots for him. Their romantic relationship is short lived and although she loves him, we all know it is Obi-Wan she desires. Even Anakin knows it before he turns to the dark side. It is part of the reason he so quickly dismisses her and nearly kills her when she tries to save him. There could have been a real heart-breaking moment between Obi-Wan and Padme before she dies where she divulges that she wishes that he was the father of her children, not Anakin. Obi-Wan promises her that he will watch over and protect Luke as if he were his own son, kissing her tenderly before she expires.

This would have been awesome!

Was this ever redone? Where is the new thread?

Was this completed? If so, is it available on any torrent?

Can someone please help seed this?

The demonoid torrents seems to have been removed, and all I can find is a general torrent which is now stuck at 30,8%.

Thanks!

Is there an explanation for reverting to the original Boba Fett voice?

Don't get me wrong, I love the original voice, I just want to know how you explain it to fit in with the continuity of the PT.

 

already been over this:

so please forget it already!

I was not vouching for the redubbed voice, only inquiring as to the explanation for the reversion, which I now understand and accept.
