I was thinking and i found the solution to make the movie perfect. have anakin be older when they find him. instead of being a slave he can be some rogue/wander on tatooine that can fight and stuff. that would make the podrace much cooler(anakins role as an action hero in tPM much more believable) and the space fight would be awsome.any ideas?

Lets not have the podrace at all. Then maybe we can get to something cooler like luring Anakin to the darkside, perhaps seeing more wookie, and who doesent want more time for some hilarious droid antics.

droids shouldnt be funny. especially the battle droids. i hate the new voices in RotS. C3po shouldnt even be in The Phantom Menace.

Anakin should stil be a kid, and as gratitude for winning the Pod Rac, he gets his freedom and Queen Amidala takes him to the planet Seattle where she's his teacher and they fall in love until the Galactic Senate intervenes, sentencing her to five years jail time and parole which she breaks because they're so in love and she's carring his nanies. Then, the two headed announcer covers their wedding when Ani is of legal age and Amidala does her time.

There's only one problem. If Anakin is a rogue wanderer/fighter, what would he have to be attached to? His fall hinges on his inability to let go, which has its root in his childhood.

Or would you have him fall from grace in a different way? Not over attachment to others? I'd be interested in hearing the other ways Anakin could have been turned to the dark side.

possibly in being a rogue he would have a desperate need for control in his life so the emporer tempts him with power and control. wich leads to him choking padme because he cannot control her feelings for him. no control over his training. great possibilities

I definitely agree with Anakin being older, but there is still some OT criteria that needs to be met:

1) Owen didn't agree with him joining Obi-Wan on some "damned fool idealistic crusade"

2) He should've "stayed here and not gotten involved." Yes, it has to be on Tatooine where Obi-Wan finds him, but I'd take it a step further and say that Owen felt Anakin shouldn't have "left the farm." It even says so in cut dialogue from the original script, "Anakin should've minded his farming."

Anakin and Luke's journey should be the same save for the fact that Anakin chooses the wrong way and Luke chooses the right way and saves his father in the process.

I think Anakin should not have been a slave, this only complicates the story unnecessarily. I don't think he should've been a pod-racer, this too, slowed the story along, and at no point was I saying, "Oh gee, I wonder if Anakin will win the race!?" Cripes! Anakin still could be the mechanic he was, built a starship to zip around in about the star system, or just above the planet. I have a very fun scene in mind where he's flying back down to Tatooin in this piece of junk he built out of... junk... and it's falling apart around him as he dodging smuggler's ships, laughing all the way.

That'd be Anakin at his best, enjoying what he does and revealing his sense of humor.

I agree that it was a stupid idea to make him a slave. Just think about it, couldn't good old Obi just tell the Rebellion about the slave chip in Darth Vader's head, and pretty much end the empire right then and there. Kaboom. No more head. sick.gif They never did SAY anything about taking out the chip, right? Or did I just miss it. . . .

They probably took it out when they were operating on Franken- I mean Vader.

Another criteria - Unless we're also re-making ROTJ, Luke&Leia's mother needs to be alive for several years after the kid's birth.

You are making a big assumption here that Owen has to be from Tatooine.

Owen doesn't have to be from Tatooine, he just has to wind up there.

That's a really good idea. I don't know if anyone's thought of that before.

But why would he move to Tattoine. I say he was in debt, and he needed Ani to help him with the farm, but Ani left, and Owen fled to Tattoine.
