Anakin's character flipped 180 in Episode 2 to the point where it's hardly the same character. The problem is just like what Machete Order says ( ), Ep 1 feels irrelevant. So what I am trying to do in this fix-fic is respecting Lucas' vision but differing its execution.īasically, themes/premises of Star Wars prequels' plots divided into two parts: what's happening to the protagonist Anakin Skywalker and what's happening to the Star Wars lore/universe.Įp1: Character - Discovery of Anakin, Lore - introduction of Trade FederationĮp2: Character - Romance of Anakin and Padme, Lore - Beginning of Clone WarsĮp3: Character - Fall of Anakin Skywalker, Lore - Transition of Republic to Empire If George hired someone like Lawrence Kasdan to write/direct them, I am sure the podracing sequence could have been iconic as the Death Star battle. I feel like the prequel trilogy is a Frankenstein monster created by the mad genius who legitimately tried to make something larger than life but failed. Padme changing her personalities and roles in every movie, unconvincing transition of Anakin Skywalker etc. Midichlorians which I guess was a garbage attempt to make the concept of Force more complicated? The forced inclusion of "Jedi can't marry" from nowhere to make the romantic relationship more dramatic(I can get it if Jedi ban the marriage between Jedi and Jedi, but if Jedi can't marry with anyone, then how the fuck they can procreate?), the cringeworthy love story and boring messy politics. You can't understand the origins of clones if you only watch the films. It's the execution that's killed the trilogy.
Examples: the Galactic Republic becoming the Empire which subverts the fan expectation, the tragic fall of Anakin Skywalker, Clone Wars and clone troopers, incorporating war and politic elements to the story. Star Wars prequels have creativity, ideas, and spirits of Star Wars. To me, George Lucas is a talented idea man who can't write/direct.
#STAR WARS EPISODE I THE PHANTOM MENACE MOVIE#
While I don't think it as the worst movie or even a terrible film (that goes to Attack of the Clones), but considering this was the Star Wars film that was supposed to start the entire new trilogy, after hyping up the fans who waited for another Star Wars for 16 years, yeah, it's bad. The Phantom Menace is infamous for being the worst movie prequel ever made and it deserves the reputation it got. These are Star Wars fixes I've posted in this sub: You don't have to read this previous version if you haven't. I felt like this Episode 1 fix-fic is the weakest one I've done so far, so I decided to touch up many elements, changing the scene, adding more details etc. This post is the second draft of the rewrite I did a year ago.
