Just give up on it already. That would a flogging-worthy waste of money and resources.

What about a complete reboot of the prequels with a good script and removing the unnecessary clutter? The back story of Anakin/ Darth Vader would be compelling enough. Using actors with believable chemistry as Padme and younger Anakin would make that story so much more powerful. Plus, people aren't married to the prequels so the director could change whatever elements they want without getting too much backlash.

and the worst part about anakin isn't that the foreshadowing was bad, but that they didn't even bother to make him sympathetic in the first place. he was pretty much a whiny douche the whole time with padme, and was a dick to the council of jedi. even early on, before he marries padme, he massacres a bunch of tusken raiders because he's in a bad mood. for a long time i thought hayden christensen's inability to act made the character unsympathetic. but really, i think they were just really lazy and assumed that the audience would see him as a good guy because he was ostensibly on the "right team."

i'd like to see that era, if not those exact stories, remade with anakin as the protagonist. like, really invest in the story of him as a sympathetic character. the constant foreshadowing and winking at the audience about his turn to the dark side is super awful

batman and spiderman retell the same story every other year.

So you don't think it's possible to love something and think that there's area for improvement?

jersey cubs fan wrote:well no.
If you think there are areas of improvement you don't love the movie. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about people saying they went to see it multiple times and really do not like the movie. That is dumb.

That amazing fanedit that I posted a while back, that condensed the prequel trilogy into a single film which used the Japanese audio and the editor's own subtitles, did a stunningly good job of making Anakin a sympathetic character. The Japanese audio also allows you to not be distracted by Christenson's wooden delivery.

I can't wrap my head around anyone actually watching this. It's still going to look like garbage and everyone will still be acting like puppets. You might as well be reading a completely made up fanfic script.
