Question.
How would you guys have written this trilogy. like a quick draft
These movies have and should have written themselves. by simply playing it forward to the characters and their origins as it relates to droids.
Plus midichlorians and how or why the force existed in the manner of wielding it arose.
The mistake started in episode one,..
[now, granted general consensus of the prequels is typically poor. yet i enjoy the prequels two and three and think they rival four and five and top six, rotj rather easily too]
imo, episode one should have kicked off with obi one as a kid with GUI jon[forgive my spelling] and the defeat of Droid armies and explain how the force came to be from the jedi's forming from rebellion against droids and how plagius came to be from first creating clones yet having no real power center like real humans. As to where midichlorians are a result of the experiments and radioactive vitamins given to humans and or life forms. Whom are used as mining slaves on what ever native or deposited planet the droids can inhabit conquer and mine. Leading to eventually nature taking course.
leading to the superpowers that the Jedi soon name themselves and come to yield, calling it the force.
Which in turn leads to the over throwing of the droids.
Plus their resulting failed directive experiments, yielding the sith.
Which also over throw and reprogram sentient directive of droids in victory. where droids are regulated to be subservient. The droids almost taking over would be from their own undoing as people infected with radiation and being used for mining power purposes developed the use of the power from the force from the spirit of all living things decimated from the droids ruling and destroying life, all life it came across. The force and the jedi's could just be splintered easily by having the sith be the result of Droid force welders gone awry from too much exposure to radiation and a midiclorian imbalance.
From that creates the space voyage tattered homeless shelter like clothing featured all around the poverty laced harsh conditions featured in the what feels like just on the verge of space slavery like landscape to star wars. Where being black those backgrounds connect with me and I feel those backgrounds and feeling exist for others as well. Like even in a future what if scenario we never escape this. Anyway from there, the first episode features young obi one, GUI jon. The formation of the Jedi council, and the senate and palapatine as well.
Where we also see general organa and amidala'a father and pregnant mother with a blaster in action as well. Leading to however it is amidala comes to be princess and of course her parents demise.
i also would have explained the species of yoda being a species that shrank in stature as they aged. similar to that one episode of the dungeons and dragons when they met the space ship kids. where venger wanted their space ship and their protector was a kid who was like conan and the adults were teenager and the children were the elders. so, over time yoda would lose his physical ability and stature but not his ability to master the force thus giving us the moment of yoda encountering palapatine and or plagius as a larger more imposing figure.
then the stark contrast when he is older and much smaller as well in combat.
the first movie would explain all the central aliens, from yoda to hut's, to the wookies to general ackbar.
that would have stood out in the series as of importance as well.
it would also explain why their was a shortage of black people and why mace windu was of importance as well as a calrissian mixed in this shortage of black people as well.
Episode two we meet Anakin, and witness his creation and the origin of palpatin as plagius's ultimate human like sith clone creation. Where Anakin is placed there and leading to windu's discovery of the plot and never being able to make out if Anakin was ever to be trusted or not.
which leads to the clone war sub plot and the directive to kill all jedi as well. being subplanted into the senate. including palpatine achievements in the darkside enabling him to fire blasts of energy and change his form from sith to human as well. all form his apprenticeship and eventual coup of plagius and the sith. yet losing anakin to obi won during the fray of this battle. where obi won is still somewhat a youngling but old enough to be a padawan in development to be a jedi. that also leads to him gaining sympathy and eventually swaying the jedi council to allow anakin to accompany obi won in jedi training.
while also, windu, gui jon and a steadily shrinking yoda continue to look at anakin in a distrustful yet understanding of the force matter.
where we end with palpatine still making headway in the senate.
yet morphing his clone agent and protocol 66 action into further motion across the galaxy and accompanying solar sytem.
Episode three : Is the same movie we got in return of the sith. Except, palpatine unearths his plot to windu before windu's death??!!
Tack on the failed clone plot from ep. 2, and the good from return of the sith where Anakin goes awry from his reveal of his origin and amidala being ill during her pregnancy closer to death. Forcing anakin to the dark side genetically and morally as well. Which we get the creation of Vader. Only wrong Lucas did was never giving us the origins of midiclorians and the sith.
In the new movies they had license to write the origin of the sith and the force committed to film and did not.
You can not waste film time or content on screen and this movie wasted two full movies of screen time as well.
All the newe movies had to do was continue to explain the deception of the Skywalker blood line and just if it was the tipping point in the force and ultimate victory. which was a byproduct of the skywalker blood line being derived from sith practices.
In the last two movies the first movie should have been about the origin of the children of Luke, leia, Han. Chewiee, and lando.
with the skywalker bloodline coming into play with the turning of one of the skywalker children to the darkside and almost reforming the empire or reforming the empire.
the introduction of mara jade and her trying to plot and kill luke, and luke over coming her and them falling in love. leading to a child being born after the death of one of luke's neice and nephew or both. who have succumbed to the dark side and also lead to the upgrade to leia as a force user as well.
The next movie should have explained and killed Mara jade and forced luke to the dark side and how his child was alive and the key to his ultimate victory or death.
With the last movie in the trilogy explaining the after life and if luke could assail to the good side of the force in death.
considering his acts and going rogue to the dark side.
where the threat of his death is pretty much the tipping point of the third trilogy movie.
