darth maul concept art.And it blessed us with "Dual of the Fates" and the dual saber which they still haven't used again???? Also, Darth Maul was rad. I want him back.

I'm weird and actually like, maybe love, episode 1..this feels.. Idk.. More generic somehow. I kinda like how their isn't a central protaganist in TPM. However older Anakin.. Yep.. He doesn't need to be a brat or angsty even.. Just older would have helped.
Lol yup me too, every time one of these threads pop up I always gotta defend episode 1...The other 2 prequels, not so much.
Episode 1 is also my favorite...well, my least dislike prequel. It still feels like Lucas was trying, the effects still hold up, and even the actors look like they're trying their hardest with the bad script they've been given.
The Jedi robes were chosen because everyone accepted Obi-Wan's look in the first film as being the quintessential look of a Jedi Knight. It makes more sense to have a combat suit with no flowing robes but the robes did give them a distinctive and wise look, so it works, fits the idea of the warrior monk.
I'm curious how old you all are cause I was 17 when it came out and was just confused right from the beginning of tpm. That confusion quickly led to disappointment and anger and I didn't bother going back to watch it in the theater. Felt the same way when they re-released the original trilogy and Jabba shows up with Han and they are doing a comedic bit. What the fuck is this horseshit? Jabba would have vaporized Han if he stepped on his tail and disrespected like that.
They were still playing ROJ at the drive in by my house in 1987 so as a kid I loved the ewoks (and I still do) but I wonder if yalls age factored into liking tpm cause we all thought it was shit. After the incredible hype train, all the books, and the cultural phenomenon that was star wars when the tpm finally came out it was a gut punch. I thought it was going to explore the clone wars in which the clones were infiltrating society and causing mayhem and palpatine was behind it. The jedi could sense who the clones were and were being eliminated for it especially after reading Timothy zahns depiction of clones.
George Lucas forgot the face of his father. Glad that you all like it but it was such a departure from the originals and just feel flat for my friends and I. The special effects especially the droid battle at the end look so bad and jarring compared to the practical effects in empire and was a major turn off too
Then I guess Owen was a Jedi too?

Its the same damn clothes. Desert apparel. Lucas just got fucking lazy and went for the "Its like poetry" bullshit rather than expand some more effort and try to add something to his universe.
I recommend this:And it blessed us with "Dual of the Fates" and the dual saber which they still haven't used again???? Also, Darth Maul was rad. I want him back.
No again, Jar Jar. Yousa goin' to the bosses, yousa in big doo-doo this time.
It certainly wouldn't have helped the direction, seeing as Lucas would never not be at the helm, but at least the idea would've been better. Maybe?
A lot of this just comes across as fixing dents and scratches when the engine is about the fail.
My mouth was empty, but I still spit my drink all over the place.
I was 10, brother was 17 and my dad was 40s and a big star wars fan of the OT. I still liked empire more as a kid. My brother went into the hype train of "preinterenet" theorizing about how we would get from 1 to 4 because he like it more than the others.I'm curious how old you all are cause I was 17 when it came out and was just confused right from the beginning of tpm.

Possible Sith Lord Jar Jar.
They both ooze with potential.. They just never touch on it. Which makes the Era very interesting I think.. Movies are hurt by it though.I really wish they had made Maui the only apprentice in the prequels and had Vader replace him. His design is one of the only things I liked about the prequels, and Dooku and Grievous as villains were so...awful.
This draft sounds bad, but it sounds like a vast improvement over what we got.
The Korn, Slipknot crossover we've all been waiting for.
And I say this as someone who immensely enjoyed the movie as a 13 years old.
Hmmm. You answer it yourself in the title thread. It is first draft
i guess that's why they call him qui-dong jinn.
would retcon Vader's creation as having been kickstarted by the Jedi themselves, which is sort of already inplace in the PT anyways, but handled poorly.
Qui-Gon's personality always made more sense for Obi-Wan. You could tell there was some weird shifting that happened with that.
I think this is spot on! Lucas got greedy with Star Wars and pretty much wreck the franchise in an attempt to wring as much money out of it as possible. Yet, he still seems to be a bit bitter about people's opinion of the prequels, and the changes Disney made.Jar Jar's "penis" was also his tongue.
But yeah, after ESB George became more concerened with little kids, including his own which is why the Ewoks came about and selling toys and that's probably where most of his modivation for changes came from and nothing says appealing to kids or well anyone than "trade wars". Changing Anakin from a teenager who would've been more appropriately near Portman's age to a nine/ten year old was part of that and chose Lloyd for further ridiculous reasons, including his near total lack of experience.
I think we are talking about different thing here. My point is it is hard to judge material based on first draft, because it is expected to be bad. The real result is usually seen after first or second revisionIt funny how sometimes your first attempt at something is decent enough and attempts to make it better just make things worse. I almost sympathize with Lucas because similar things happened to me when I wrote essays and research papers. Difference is I had people helping me out and when they gave advice, I listened to them.
