Dan H. Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I was having a good time discussing the Prequels in the other thread, but let's bitch about them here and leave the other one for The Force Awakens chatter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPoe Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 A radical idea was brought up in the other thread. What if the entire prequel trilogy was "de-canonized", and remade by Disney? Some ideas:Retain Darth Maul as the bad guy in all 3 moviesWe meet Anakin as a teen, already using a bastardized version of the Force.No Qui-Gon Jinn. Only Kenobi.No Jar Jar. No Jango Fett. Palpatine has a bigger role. No ambiguity about where the clones came from. Perhaps have Palpatine kill his master.No lightsabers for Yoda or Palpatine.Other than that. Free slate.One more thing regarding a prequel remake: Have Anakin be the stick in the ass uber Jedi, with Padme in love with him instead. That would fit the Vader character better.

Facekicker Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 And get actors that actually have chemistry togetherAnakin and Kenobi are supposed to be "good friends". Hayden and McGregor were awful in that regard.Anakin and Padme (shitcan her awful name too) - Zero chemistry. You know a film is awful when it can't even make a romance with Natalie Portman believable.Revenge of the Sith should have at least half of the movie showing Vader in the suit hunting down and kicking the shit out of the jedi.No midichlorian bullshit.Luke has no memory of his mother. Explain why. Leia does. Explain why. The prequels couldn't even get this right.Yoda should not have met Chewbacca. Just pointless making these kind of connections. The universe is not that small. Same with Anakin building C3PO. Total nonsense. Also Kenobi should never have crossed paths with R2D2.Fucking hell did Lucas not even watch the originals before making the prequel nonsense? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luciusfunk Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) So you suggest "Star Wars The Real Episode I, That Other One Isn't Canon Anymore"?Remaking the prequels is ridiculous. They're done, some people like them, some people hate them. Edited August 26, 2015 by luciusfunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're done, some people like them, some people hate them.Remakes happen all the time in Hollywood. The Star Wars prequels don't deserve some kind of golden calf status.And I think you are being very generous by saying some people liked them, some people hated them.They were critically panned. Taking the fanbase at large they are more hated than liked. If it wasn't for the fact that the fans were starved of new content and had invested so much in the story of Vader's fall then the trilogy would have probably flopped commercially too.

luciusfunk Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 If they remake the prequels I will eat a can of dog food, post it to YouTube and link it here. It's such a ridiculous notion. Yes because you've heard from every single Star Wars fan in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 As I said in the other thread, yes, they're bad, but it would be extreme overkill to decanonize them and produce 3 new movies, and Lucas would never allow it anyways.These are three of the most successful movies of all time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent post. 11/10 would read again.I knew it would take only a page or two before you'd be behaving like a complete and utter cock just because you can't stand any criticism of the prequels.You did it multiple times in the past whenever it was brought up and now you are doing it again.Take that stick out of your ass for fuck sake.

luciusfunk Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) I don't mind criticism of the prequels. Go ahead. What I find ridiculous is the notion of remaking them or striking them from canon.I know the movies were very flawed. I still enjoy them.Again with facepalm. Another 11/10 post.
