From my point of view jedis are evil :smuggo:

Make a story about jedi just meddling in regular people's lives and only doing more damage despite having the best intentions. Jedi are already annoying paladin type, realize it as a scifi aciton comedy.

Like I've said before, if 4-6 were a WW2 allegory, the sequels should've been a Cold War spy series with both sides having Death Stars to represent mutually assured destruction.

That would actually be kind of cool. So it'll never happen.

No matter the circumstances, it has to be plucky heroes against overwhelming empire!

The New Republic Freedom Star has assured the spread of democracy, order and peace across the galaxy. But is it really such a beacon of good and lawful power as its projected to be? A young Jedi gets dragged into a conspiracy that stretches far beyond the outer rim. Black sites? Old imperial measures and agents? The deeper it goes, the darker it gets.

The prequels are far more.memoriablr than the Disney movies, and indeed are better movies. Just watch them in a foreign language without subtitles and they are actually pretty decent

That was my experience with the prequels, at least the first two, and yeah they are so much better without the English audio. You lose the racist as gently caress accents, poo poo doesn't sound as dumb and the story just looks like underpolished space opera with impressive (for its time) effects.

Just get rid of nu death star, keep them the same bunch of neo-imperial losers but they figure out how to use spaceships like relativistic missiles with Force or whatever. So they 9/11 coruscant, and the rest follows existing material.

He served as padme's proxy in the Senate while she was pregnant and was the one who proposed ceding emergency powers to sheev which allowed him to take power

Best part of the movie by the way

Yeah but imagine how much more epic it would be if he also pulled the babbies out of padme and be like "Uh oh! Twin babbies" and drop one on the floor.

Well I mean yeah, that’s the point. It’s an important part of how Lucas sets up the prequel Jedi as morally limited if not outright corrupt. Slavery has always been a big part of the Star Wars universe (think how C3PO and R2D2 are treated, like literal hardware to be auctioned off, not allowed in bars, even though we know they are basically people). How is this compatible with Jedi “for a thousand generations”? The whole question that the prequels are created to answer is essentially “if you’re so smart, how come you ain’t rich” to the Jedi. If they were so good and wise, how did two guys wipe them out? And why would someone genuinely good, like Anakin once was, convince himself that it was right to do so? Answer: they weren’t that good. They — even the good ones like Qui-Gon — let evil go on everywhere, telling themselves it was none of their business, until it bit their asses right off. Anakin being a slave whom they hypocritically free because it serves them is what shapes his whole attitude to the order’s moral teaching.

So what you are saying is, the rebels - what an apt name, by the way - are basically Confederate rising up again and again.

Maybe the bad guy, Chester Chesterton, is tracking his memaw through force and the tracking button doesn't work and is just a button.

And the ship blew up because it was full of space dynamite not some relativistic kill missile.

Mooey Cow posted:

In earlier revisions of TPM, the Jedi wore more elaborate clothes, but this was changed at some point to the desert farmer outfit Obi-wan wears in the OT, and it's been said they wear these simple robes to symbolize their compassion for the lowliest people in the galaxy or something like that. Which of course is massively hypocritical as they spend most of their time actually running errands for the most powerful, and when they actually encounter those whose clothes they wear, they do very little to help them; Obi-wan even considering Anakin "another pathetic lifeform".

So what you're saying is that jedis should sell dark side indulgences?
