SPECULATION Do you think Disney should re-make the Prequels?

That's because CGI didn't exist between 1977-83. And besides, Lucas used other forms of special effects to project some kind of illusion that made it difficult for me to view it as "grounded in reality".

 

Actually, both Death Star displays (the one in ANH and the one in RotJ) were created using CGI. Granted, they weren't able to create more CG imagery, but Lucasfilm did have a Computer Graphics team, which later turned into the animation powerhouse that is Pixar Animation Studios.

PS. If someone's interested, here is Pixar' first short film, that was still released under Lucasfilm.

 

Nope! I grew up with the PT being my Star Wars, just as OT fans grew up with their trilogy. To redo the PT is to say prequel fans, like me, don't matter and if OT fans have that selfish right, then my generation should have the right to redo the OT as well. It works both ways. Love it or hate it, the prequels are now culturally embedded and deserve their spot in the franchise.

Plus, George's prequels aren't going anywhere anyway as Lucasfilm considers them and the originals as ‘immovable' canon. That's why prequel material shows up in the books, comics, TV shows and Rogue One ect. To redo the prequels Lucasfilm would now need to bin all of their new stuff due to these references – ostracising yet even more fans. And what if OT fans end up not liking the prequel remakes either? We’ll just destroy those too? When will tampering with history end? Until its just IV, V (maybe VI)? Better to just accept what has happened and move on in my opinion.

 

No. I'm not fond of the PT, but I wouldn't change it for anything. Everything connects (with a few mistakes by Geroge on the PT/OT continuity, but those could be fixed without redoing them) and remaking it now with Disney having the rights to SW would create a story that in my opinion would take away from the Vader we see in ANH and the Vader Ben worships.

 

What continuity mistake should be fixed? I hope you're not suggesting that Padme survives the birth of her twins, hand Luke over to the Lars and take Leia with her to Alderaan. Because that would be a major, major mistake.

 

Just cut the part where Leia says she remembers her mother. It's easier to fix than redoing anything in the PT. Padme dying in childbirth is a beautiful tragedy and should never be changed.

 

Oh yeah. When I first saw it, I assumed it was a Force thing too, it's just that it feels slightly like an attempt to cover up a mistake more than a great idea that could have been explained sooner. I actually like that idea a lot, like what they did with Rey and Anakin's saber. I think with Leia, my problem was she sounded like she was a lot younger when she saw it. Really, really young. Not the age in the book.

 

That's actually a clever way of looking at it, and it makes sense!

 

That sounds like a mistake from the Original Trilogy to me. When I first saw "Return of the Jedi", I found it odd that Padme (before I knew her name) would keep Leia and hand over Luke to the Lars. It made more sense to me if she had either kept both twins with her before dying; give them both away before dying; or simply dying, which would have forced others to divide the twins.

 

I think Lucas always had the prequel in mind, but he kept changing the OT before the PT was even made. Leia wasn't even Luke's sister. I'm guessing that might also be one of the things he changed or he might have just forgotten.

 

YES! And they should look something like this

Oh wow, looking at the Prequel topic list, I can only admit to spamming
I'm sorry, that was never my intention, I was sure any post would get lost and people would simply scroll past, and so I made sure to "bring it up" where appropriate.
(gimme a break, I still need like 19 posts to make a thread for them, and don't wanna just go "Whee, Star Wars!!")

I'll be good..ish

 

The prequels in my opinion are actually pretty good. besides from jar jar and not the best acting the lightsaber duels are great. CGI isn't a bad thing. Palpatines master plan, Order 66, the battle of geonosis,the battle of the fates, and Much Much more. Plus if they re maid them they would probably make them worse and they would have to have lot's of different actors, plus we would be watching practically the same thing all over again. Just made a bit differently.

removing them from canon is also stupid. Can you imagine official star wars episodes which have the main back story of the jedi council and how darth vader rising to power, and luke and leias birth actually be considered legends????
