I have somehow managed to get Anakin vs. Obi-Wan down to a minute and a half while keeping only the good stuff. I’ll upload it later today.

The fight is refocused on Obi-Wan backing away from Anakin, and him never showing anger or fury. Obi-Wan is trying to save Anakin, not have a dumb 7 minute fight with him on ropes and falling structures.

your thoughts: Did Disney kill star wars because it sounds like they did with the last jedi solo and resistance.

I very much enjoyed The Last Jedi and Solo …Resistance I am not crazy about and will just follow the plot through online reviews . And no , Star Wars was not killed by Disney , It is very much alive and I hear they are even making books , comics , video games and a theme park .Just the facts folks .

The whole idea of this thread is subjective because to those of us who prefer and/or grew up with the EU only to see it and the original actors flipped off has killed Star Wars’ essence, now the only thing left is the bloated corporate shell.

When was Star Wars never a bloated corporate shell?

1976

Here’s something that was brought up on the first page that could work very nicely:

Make Geonosis Tatooine.

This would add heaps to the world of Tatooine instead of just having some random planet we never see again. This is a prequel trilogy that sets up already existing movies, why not do some actual set up? This would explain the anti droid sentiment on the planet, seeing as droids once controlled it.

It would also help Anakin’s character if the bad guys of the trilogy were responsible for his mother’s death. Instead of a Tusken Raider camp, it could be part of the Separatist base? A forward operating base?

Just like the Empire killed Luke’s family, the Separatists would take the last of Anakin’s family.

Maybe this is how Anakin and Padme are captured, replacing the droid factory sequence? They go to save his mom, she dies, and they’re captured, adding insult to injury. This would start Act 3.

Very good!

Here’s my sequence for Jedi:

Vader lands on the Imperial Capital and speaks with the emperor.

Han’s rescue, albeit trimmed to have Chewie already be captured by the time the opening rolls around.

Dagobah.

The Rebel base on Endor (Home One and the rest of the fleet are parked down on the planet). Here we have the briefing scene. (The plan is now to reclaim the Capital and if possible kill the Emperor/Vader).

Luke and Leia (it is implied they are in part of a Rebel Base).

The gang takes off.

The gang flies past the Executor and lands on the Capital, at night.

“My Son is with them.”

Luke surrenders himself.

Later that night Han and a squad of rebels inflitrate the shield generator. Leia is left behind in the shuttle/somewhere with Chewie.

Meeting the Emperor

The fleet emerges from Hyperspace, the shields are up, start of space battle. Ends with ‘We’ve got to give him more time!’.

Han plants the charges and Stormtroopers storm the room. Using the ‘I love you’, ‘I know’ clip, Han realises that in order for the Rebellion to complete their mission, he must sacrifice himself. The bunker suddenly explodes around him as the charges go off. Leia looks on at the explosion in disbelief as Chewbacca cries out.

“Ha ha, I told ya they’d do it!”

Luke snaps and tries to kill the emperor, and hides. Vader reads Luke’s mind and threatens Leia, his sister. Luke snaps again and almost kills Vader.

The rebellion begin bombing the surface in and around the Emperor’s compound. The Falcon is heavily damaged.

Like tosses the saber. ‘I am a Jedi, like my father before me.’ ‘So be it… Jedi.’ The Emperor starts zapping Luke as he pleads for his father’s help.

Vader tosses the Emperor down into the shaft, and is critically hurt.

The Executor is disabled and crashes into the Emperor’s compound.

Anakin Unmasked.

Luke flies away from the planet and jumps to hyperspace.

Montage: Fireworks across the capital, Lando is the new owner of the falcon. Leia is in charge of her own capital ship? The celebration happens, minus Luke/Han/Ewoks.

Luke lays his father to rest as the ghosts of Yoda and Ben look on. Anakin appears and smiles. Luke continues to watch the flames.

Cut to credits.

I don’t know if all of this is feasible with my VFX abilities, but I tried to keep it tame. I know that most of the ground Endor battle is busted along with the fight in front of the bunker. If anyone has anything to add/critique, please say so.
