anakin_girl posted:Good suggestions. We definitely need more consistency with the OT. Yoda would have trained Obi-Wan; we would have seen it on screen or at least known about it. Anakin and Padme would have spent more time together, maybe even grown up together (or grown up knowing each other), been friends and then fallen in love. None of this meeting when he was nine, not seeing her for ten years and behaving like she's been on his mind the entire time. I like the love story, I never thought it was "creepy" at all, but I would still love to restructure the story so that no one else got that vibe either. More of Anakin and Obi-Wan's friendship, less of Obi-Wan telling Anakin what to do and Anakin whining about it. More joking around (and not at each other's expense necessarily), more of Anakin confiding in Obi-Wan, more that looks like they are best friends. So that the "he was a good friend" line from ANH falls less flat. And for the love of all that is Jedi, a different death scenario for Padme. Like someone already mentioned, she would never give up on her children. She may be madly in love with Anakin, and I believe that she was, but she would not lose the will to live over his decision to destroy himself. It's not in her character, and certainly not in her daughter's character. And yes, Leia needs to really remember her. At the risk of getting flamed, I still thought it was out of character for Anakin to kill his pregnant wife and a room full of Jedi Younglings--even Anakin as Darth Vader. In the OT, he killed soldiers and tortured Han and Chewie, but he never hurt a woman or a child, aside from the sin of omission of standing aside while Tarkin blew up Alderaan. I would definitely not have those two scenes in the PT; they seemed to be in there for the effect of "What is the most evil thing that we can have Anakin do so that everyone knows he's on the Dark Side?" They weren't necessary at all, and completely ruined ROTS for me. I think the dilemma of Anakin wanting to save Padme from death was a good one, but I might have her at risk of dying from some natural cause, and one that Anakin knew about--not one he dreamed about. But no Younglings dying. Other changes: I would have included Han and Lando in some way, even if it meant we saw them as children or teenagers. I would have included the planet Corellia. No Grievous. He was totally unnecessary, and seemed as if Lucas was trying to make a character who could set a record for number of lightsabers wielded at once. As someone mentioned already, more of a relationship between Anakin and Owen, maybe a scene in which Owen tries to convince Anakin to stay on Tatooine with them instead of going back to fight the Clone Wars with Obi-Wan. A scene in which Anakin gives Obi-Wan his lightsaber and asks him to hold it for Luke. Oh yeah, and no midichlorians.
