The Prequel Radical Redux Ideas Thread

The Shmi death scene works really damn well without any soundtrack, with only the sound of the flames as the backdrop.

Here’s part of it:

I can’t figure out how to replace the Death Star motif from the end of ‘burning homestead’. It needs to be replaced, preferably with a slower fade out version. Does that exist?

He looks over and sees Obi-Wan at the bar. He walks forward and sees a second Obi-Wan. He puts two and two together.

Keep in mind that the whole first part of this scene sets up that she’s a shapeshifter and Anakin needs to be careful.

I don’t know how to make it any less confusing. Also, the shock of Anakin suddenly slicing Obi-Wan and the revelation that it wasn’t him is supposed to be fun foreshadowing.

Is <em>Revenge of the Sith</em> the Best or Worst Prequel?
Time

ROTS completely lacks subtext. Characters say exactly what they’re thinking and talk about what they’re going to do in the next scene/what they’ve done in previous scenes. On top of that, what they actually do say makes no sense. All of the characters are one dimensional and boring. The only arc in the movie took place in one scene, and it was because ‘remember Star Wars’.

Some people say the fan service in TFA is bad, well look at the ending of Revenge of the Sith! Hey look, it’s Darth Vader. It’s the Emperor! It’s Governer Tarkin! It’s the Death Star! It’s baby Leia! It’s the binary sunset!

The ending tricks you into liking it because it has things you already have an emotional connection to (mainly the Binary sunset.)

TPM has all of these problems too, but it’s way easier to sit through. The weird out of touch racism is fun to think about. The visuals are (mostly) pretty decent. The score is pretty phenomenal.

JEDIT: Attack of the Clones is just as bad as Sith. The ‘Remember Star Wars’ is pretty tame in comparison though.
