PT Should Disney Remake 1, 2 & 3?

No, no Disney reboots please!

That said...Welcome to the boards!

 

Let the Prequels stand as they are. If they want to make spin off movies with a few characters, I wouldn't mind seeing Jinn and Dooku fleshed out.

 

I think Disney should just leave the Prequels alone. Disney has a reputation of... not doing too well on some of the things they reboot/buy (since, y'know, they aren't the originals). Let them focus on new movies and content.

 

What Vader said.

 

Absolutely not. There's no reason to. The only way the prequel will ever be remade is if Disney decides to full on reboot all of Star Wars. As of right now Disney is trying to keep all films canon.

 

As much as I would love a good PT, no. Let that era slide and focus on the ST era and the OT era. Bring back the Adventures of Luke Skywalker.

 

It's not going to happen. Disney-Lucasfilm would never remake anything directed by the franchise's creator himself. If the original trilogy isn't gonna get remade, the prequels aren't gonna be either.

 

The moment any of the films get remade is likely when I stop being invested in Star Wars. As flawed as they are, and despite anyone's personal feelings on them, the PT currently comprises half the canon as far as the general public is concerned, and for the fans who are a bit more into it, a huge chunk of the current canon is built around it. You'd be scrapping a great deal of creative material that's already being heavily referenced in everything from the books to the comics to the TV shows. I was completely fine with them abolishing the EU, and in 20 years or so they decide they want to override the current canon and start over again, I'd be fine with that too, even though I'm really enjoying it. The films, however, need to remain constant.

 

Posting here since I guess I'm not allowed to post anywhere else since I'm new/low post count...

Does anyone think this is possible at some point? It seems like Hollywood in general is always stumbling over themselves to reboot proven storylines etc..., and the prequels are one series where the public would largely welcome it. Win-win for everyone right?

 

I'm confused, do you mean add more episodes to the prequels or remake them?

 

Yes, I believe it's possible they may even reboot the whole thing but this isn't a popular stance here.

 

Not everyone. Some of us are okay with the prequels. It may be a crazy idea, I know.

But hey, I think the actors were fine, and I can't see anyone else in those roles. So rewriting the script and Disney rebooting with them may be okay. If I don't dislike VII.
Unfortunately not every actor can come back though, which is sad.

 

It wouldn't be the same if they used different actors. It would be very difficult to find someone to play Han's role considering Harrison Ford did an outstanding job playing the role of Han Solo.

 

I think instead of rebooting it, they're just going to move on from that time period entirely and focus on other stuff. The post-ROTJ era now requires the most attention, and so far they're pretty keen on developing more OT era material as well.

 

I only meant the prequels --- not the OT. Even speaking of remaking the OT is sacrilegious

And I guess "reboot" was the wrong term --- I meant a straight remake. Just off the top of my head, one example of this happening was with Total Recall.

 

I like the Prequels the way they are with the exception of Jar Jar....

 

Talking about sliding!

Why would anyone want it good when it's already great!

Besides that realistically and logistically the larger prequel era is what happens BEFORE IV A New Hope.

Hence prequel.

A prequel is a literary, dramatic, or filmic work whose story precedes that of a previous work, by focusing on events that occur before the original narrative. A prequel is a work that forms part of a back-story to the preceding work.

The definition for some seems to be anything past ROTS somehow becomes "OT" and that the 20 years or so BEFORE ANH belong to the "OT"

Rebels is before ANH. Rogue One is before ANH and so will the Han Solo and the likely Boba Fett movie be as well. You can't escape the fact that these are all prequels.

Then of course if they do an Obi-Wan movie or series of Obi-Wan movies that also will be prequels as well.

Now of course to me it's all one saga and the terms "PT" and "OT" are merely basic descriptors but even using it in that term one should try to use it accurately.

Between the PT and TCW the story therein ripples forward through EVERYTHING that is being done from the new movies to books, comics, games etc.

So if someone likes they call the time between ROTS and ANH the PT/OT era or prequel era 2 or something.

 

heels1785: Wasn't this thread locked a month ago by the managers? I remember wanting to write something here a few weeks ago but it was locked.

 

I don't think any Star Wars film should be remade. They're great they way they are and shouldn't be changed.

A remake probably will happen considering how uncreative many people are but not in our lifetime.

 

To answer the question, "Should Disney Remake 1, 2 & 3?"

Simple answer: No!

The story is relevant to the saga and is an important piece of it. If you don't like the prequels, it doesn't mean that there should be a remake. There are enough fan-edits of the movies around the internet that you can enjoy if you want to.

By the way, why remaking the PT and not the OT while we are at it? Because...the OT is "sacrilegious"? They are also old and dated movies as the prequels, and for some people it doesn't make it very well either.

You should you read that review from a new viewer in China who has never seen the original trilogy before and saw it during a premiere in cinema, in China:

No..and NO!

 

No! The prequels are great as they are.
