simonjedi Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Reduce the plot of (this universes) episode 1 (i.e finding Anakin)into a 15 minute flashback or the opening of the good alterep1. Make Anakin around 25 and more of a Han solo type character, don't make him whiny. Ep1 Him and obi wan visit Alderaan (not Naboo, that's pointless.) which has been invaded by the TF for minerals or something . They rescue the queen and escape to Courscant where they meet Qui-Gon Jinn, and discuss with the jedi council what to do, (Dooku is on the council.) Palpatine (Who is chancellor) and the senate decide to invade to Alderaan with the republic's milita. Big battle. Qui-gon and Obi wan land and fight Darth maul. Qui-gon and Maul die like in the film. War has come to the Galaxy. EP2 War has been going on for a few year now. Republic Milita are now battle hardened vets. Clones are used to keep the army numbers high. Anakin is getting fustrated by the lack of progress and starts using darker and darker techniques to win battles. Palps sees this and reassures this is ok.A few battles goes wrong and lots of jedi get killed. Anakin and the queen get married. EP3 War is coming to an end. Anakin is ~31 Padme is pregnant. Things happen and he turns evil. war ends, empire is formed and he hunts down the jedi. Padme is in denial and 9 months late gives birth They hide Luke and kept leia with padme. A few years later padme while dies 'kind but sad' Obiwan tracks them vader down. Fight. Anakin ends up in Vader suit. Needs a bit of tweeking but its mainly there. Quote
Fallenangel Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 So I've thinking about this question for a while now and I thought I'd throw it out here for you guys. What part of the PT would you change so it made sense? And I'm not looking for kill jar jar answers here. Ones that actually have reasoning behind them. I'd love to hear what you guys think. Let's see, there really are too many things, but here are a few I can think of: - Anakin should be a GREAT PILOT when he meets Obi-wan. - Get rid of midi-chlorians, the Prophecy, and the Chosen One - Jedi are Jedi. - Have an enemy that the Galactic Republic would actually be afraid of rather than battle droids which are just a joke. On top of that, real soldiers (perhaps a volunteer army or something) rather than disposable clones - in other words, make the Clone Wars something ordinary people would care about - Scrap all this Trade Federation stuff that isn't even explained and just start off with the Confederacy being separate from the Republic. - Don't Americanize intergalactic space politics (two terms?) and don't say Jedi and Senators can't marry because nothing really stopped either of them. - No non-Jedi character should use a lightsaber; Force lightning works just fine for Dark Jedi. Joruus C'baoth certainly didn't need a lightsaber, nor did the Emperor. - Yoda's character should be consistent with who he was in Empire - Get rid of the Gungas - what's the point? - Get rid of Threepio and Artoo - they had nothing to do with anybody during this time period. - Obi-wan should at least act like he and Anakin are friends. - The Old Republic has stood for a thousand generations under the guidance of the Jedi Knights Yeah but then you could say that about C3PO and R2. They are just more well written than Jar Jar. But yeah I see what your going at. My biggest concern with it is that we don't have enough of the PT. I think more time was needed explaining why naboo needs help, what things they are really needing. Then why the trade federation are helping the emperor because it's not like he told them his whole plan because they aren't in the final picture. And what do they have to gain from forming and alliance with him. Then more time at the end of EP I explaining how the techno union and banking clan converge with the trade federation. And where does Count Dooku come from (without reading into the EU)? Is he just lurking around in the shadows? But it contradicts with the Jedi saying there's always 2 sith. So when did he get converted? Another point is I think there's too many story arcsinterweaving everytime EP I and II are wrapping up. I feel it makes it hard to connect with any of the arcs and you can't feel for one of the characters struggles. But I still maintain that EP I is the best PT film. Yeah, yeah, yea - what? Episode I the best of the Prequels? Explain (in the other thread, that is). Quote
DarthR2-D2 Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I saw this on youtube and am trying to find the rest of this version...Star Wars: The Musical anybody seen it. (Well I've found the script but not the music) But if anybody knows anything, just e-mail me (my e-mail address is on my profile.) Btw I'm new on this forum. Quote

RileyC Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Yeah, yeah, yea - what? Episode I the best of the Prequels? Explain (in the other thread, that is). Sorry I havent forgot about this! But Im swamping at the moment and havent got the time to present my points. Are you saying put them in the PT vs. OT vs. CW thread instead? I thought that thread would be merged with this one considering this is a general discussion and all... Quote
Clone OPatra Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I can see how sometimes that other discussion fits into this thread, but since the CW vs OT vs PT discussion is much more specific I'd rather keep them separate. That way, discussion of SW in general, the blu ray releases, merchandise, whatever can be kept in here, and the war over which SW is the best can be left over there. Maybe the other thread needs a "vs. EU" too, huh? Might as well… Quote

Zarkan Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Yeah, yeah, yea - what? Episode I the best of the Prequels? Explain (in the other thread, that is). I wouldn't say it's the best as much as I would say its the one that sucked the least, mainly because it wasn't bogged down by a horrid Romantic Plot Tumor like Episodes II and III were. Also, kid Anikan may not be that great, and queen Padme might not be that interesting, but I hold that neither of them were nearly as annoying as when they were involved in an awkward romance and the former was played by Hayden Christensen. By and large, The Phantom Menace was still inferior to the OT by a mile, but it was also relatively innocuous compared to the utter failure that followed in AOTC and ROTS. Quote

You didn't like Revenge Of The Sith? Curious. To make Attack Of The Clones an extremely enjoyable movie, I just skip to the next chapter whenever Padme & Anakin appear together. The Phantom Menace sucks the most, for me. Jake Lloyd & Jar-Jar are so annoying they make me want to hurt kittens. Quote
simonjedi Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 To me, Ep1 looks and 'feels' the most Star-Warsy. Mainly because it has quite a few models and physical sets compared to 2 and 3. However.. The film is pointless, the story is terrible and the characters are bland. Quote
DarthSion Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 What are good brands for figures and such, I have been following the jedi news website and their preview of the upcoming attakus and I would really like to get a good Captain Rex figure. I know seems attakus have not released one of him, pity the Gree order 66 looks great. Quote

DarthSion Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Yeah something like that, but not so poor looking. Quote
Fallenangel Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Looks fine to me. Is there something wrong with it? Quote
DarthR2-D2 Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Look at how this kid is holding his lightsaber Quote
DarthSion Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Actually if the helmet was stuck on I would but it, but seeing that yellow hair, yuck. Quote
simonjedi Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Look at how this kid is holding his lightsaber What kind of Star Wars name is Liam? It should be something like liiamme. Quote

Lord Of The Fries Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) I was on the internet last night and found a cool picture of a zombie stormtrooper. I edited the photo a bit to make it look funnier . Hope you enjoyed it! Edited April 23, 2011 by Lord Of The Fries Quote
Brickdoctor Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 I'm not sure if this is the best place for this...maybe the SW topic in Culture and Multimedia would be better? Quote
Blackknight112 Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 I agree with brickdoctor, this has nothing to do with lego. Quote
