puts clones wars between Aotc and Rots

me: "The force is strong with this one"

I can feel it
I can feel the Star Wars fandom storming here soon

This is good aslong as it maintains the very important lines:
"Do it"
"It's treason then"
"I dont like sand"
"Hello there"
etc...

I feel like if a clone trooper killed Padme, Anakin would try to kill all of the clone troopers.

I wasn’t expecting to accept it based on the initial pitch due to how much time your Anakin would spend being compromised but, by the end of your Revenge of the Sith, you sold me. That would’ve worked very well.

In an alternate universe, George Lucas decided to continue his plan for Jar Jar to be revealed as the puppet master instead of scrapping the idea due to the harsh criticism that TPM received.

The clone wars CG series actually handles Anakin's descent really well. He's basically a Maverick that keeps getting bad orders from detached bureaucrats that are willing to make sacrifices that he isn't. He goes rogue to save his clone troopers all the time. And he's usually validated in his decision. And even when he's wrong, he's a freaking Jedi, so he usually Gary Stu's his way out of it. He keeps not killing the HQ guys under these direct orders (because "muh valueable intel"), and seeing them escape and continue to drag out the war. It does well to play into his later complete lack of respect for the Imperial Moffs he technically answers to yet murders casually as Darth Vader. The war in general tends to give him constant motivation to be more brutal, more direct, more ruthless, & more impulsive... and wasting time with self-imposed restrictions tends to only drag out a conflict that costs thousands of lives every day.

Also: Duchess Satine. Obi Wan has a parallel arc to Anakin's forbidden love. But he chose his duty to the order instead of his passions, they both picked duty over their love. Massive waste that it doesn't come into play with Anakin's story. There's a tipping point to drive a wedge between former friends right there. Imagine Anakin confiding this huge secret to his closest friend, instead of that generic fortune cookie advice from Yoda. It wouldn't even feel unreasonable for Anakin to take Obi-Wan telling him he has to give up Padme as a personal betrayal.

OH! And give Padme something to do in episode 3 by keeping the plot that she was supposed to have originally. Have her betray Anakin. As he drifts deeper down the path to the dark side, he starts losing Padme without seeing it. She sees what he is becoming and it scares her. She's the democratic idealist that actually wants all those checks and balances on power that tie his hands while his soldiers die meaninglessly. When the dominoes start to fall on Palpatine's end-game, Anakin will have to be assassinated if the republic is to be saved, and Padme is the one he trusts enough for him to let his guard down. And that's when Anakin should choke her to death.

Phantom Menace could still be a movie, but as a spin-off like Rogue One or Solo. Anakin's backstory as a slave, how he meets the jedis and Padme and becomes Obi-Wan's apprentice still makes for a great story.

I had a great idea to showcase Anakin's turn: across 3 lightsabre duels. In the 1st, he is utterly overpowered by a Sith lord, making him feel inferior. In the 2nd, he taps into the dark side in order to win the duel, but realizes he's going too far and spares his opponents life. Then finally, as Darth Vader, he shows no mercy, showing how the dark side has given him the power he always craved

The reason Anakin is a kid in The Phantom Menace is because George felt it was important. I feel like George tries to do so much in the prequel trilogy that might as well have been a TV series instead. TPM also kind of feels like it could be a 2 episode TV pilot. Thankfully, we did get the 2003 and 2008 Clone Wars series so there is that.

Step 1: Eliminate Jar Jar
Step 2: More Ewan
Step 3: Leave RotS the same
Step 4: This is where the fun begins

The prequels definitely did have redeeming qualities. Ewan McGregor as Obi Wan was great, the lightsaber fights were really cool, and Mace Windu is my favorite Star Wars character of all time.

Good, it’s good, I love it

'Who goes from nobel Jedi to child murder in the space of an Afternoon?" Me looking back at attack of the clones : "But the women and children toooooo" - Uh....ok

Anakin killed children in Ep.2, a lot of his dark side tendencies did. I do think the transition could have been smoother, but I'm personally content that at least it was established that Anakin was capable.

That throwback clone wars show footage has so much nostalgia

Having Holtst's mars in the background making the music sound like Star Wars and avoiding copyright, big brain move my man

I think the element of Jedi being unable to marry to keep it so Anakin can't go to the Jedi with his dreams

6:57 I think that Padme being a senator is far more interesting than her being a Jedi. The prequels and Clone Wars have a focus on politics and I like that we have two characters in a forbidden relationship fighting the battle on both sides: political and on the frontlines. Their relationship brings forth the possibility for two very different viewpoints and I feel like if you made Padme a Jedi you'd be taking away a lot of what makes her character so interesting and important to the plot. After all, we have plenty of Jedi characters but how many of the senators do we really follow and have a vested interest in besides Palpatine? Just my opinion though.

I always explained away the "I remember my mother" line as Leia having force visions from the past but not her own memories, more like Obi-Wan and Anakin projecting  their emotions onto her conscious
