    Ok this is my first time starting a thread. I know there are threads talking about the prequels' flaws, but I want to share my vision of the prequels and to hear some other ideas.

    Episode I: Attack of the Clones (1999)
    Mostly the same as it was, Anakin (Leonardo DiCaprio or at least a competent actor) is in mid-late 20s, has known and cared about his brother Owen since childhood.
    Obi-Wan and Anakin are better friends in my version.
    Dooku was Obi Wan's master before leaving Jedi Order
    Padme is Queen, Anakin secretly becomes king at the end


    Episode II: Revenge of the Sith (2002)
    Mostly the same as it was, Anakin is in his late 20s-early 30s.
    Darth Maul is in the role of General Grievous, survives duel with Obi-Wan
    Twins are born before Anakin turns bad
    Plagueis appears in a flashback, played by Andy Serkis (post 2019 re-release)
    Padme does not die in childbirth, takes both twins to live on Alderaan
    Yoda and Obi Wan still go into hiding


    Episode III: The Phantom Menace (2005)

    About five-six years after Revenge of the Sith
    Padme is the most prominent character
    Darth Maul is leading the remaining Separatists, Palpatine orders Vader to kill him
    Darth Vader senses that Emperor Palpatine was lying about Padme's death, is determined to find Padme and recruit her.
    Darth Maul seeks to recruit the five year old Luke and Leia against Palpatine and Vader, tracks them to Alderaan
    Owen is involved with the main conflict
    Palpatine wants Padme dead, secretly sends Boba Fett to try and assassinate her (it would look bad if he or an Imperial killed her)
    Boba Fett is stopped by Padme, who is accompanied by Owen Skywalker (his last name is not said in the OT)Vader is hunting Jedi across the galaxy
    Padme confronts Vader on Naboo and is killed by Vader.
    Obi Wan only appears at the end
    Yoda does not appear
    Darth Maul is hunted down by Palpatine on Naboo, and killed

    No gungans, no Jinn? Where are the droids?

    My version would not have been worthy of George Lucas.

    The phantom menace is just a possible title, but it would be nothing like the actual Phantom Menace.

    There would be no Qui Gon, and no Gungans, but the battle droids would still be there.

    And Revenge of the Sith, the darkest, should be second in the trilogy, with Attack of the Clones coming first and the actual Phantom Menace not being needed.

    For me, have Anakin be older when Episode I starts and already be training to be a Jedi. Then take more time dealing with Sidious turning him throughout the rest of the trilogy and get a bit more of him as Vader going after the Jedi at the end before his confrontation with Obi-Wan. Otherwise it can stay close to the same with maybe fixing up Padme's death a little....and no Jar Jar.

    1. Please use the edit function instead of double or triple posting. The edit function is just below your post.

    2. We don't need several threads with everyone's specific vision for the prequels. People are welcome to use the fan fiction section for prequel rewrites.
