Got the idea for this from a thread in the AotC forum: When Lucas inevitably decides that he's not satisfied with the Prequels and decides to release Special Editions for those as well, what kind of changes do you think he'll make? Is it possible to make the films even worse than they are already? Let your imagination run wild...

The sandpeople had women and children. We know this because Anakin killed them how could he tell? The children might be smaller but I never saw a sandperson with breasts. Did they hike their skirts and show him some leg or something?

Also, I can see the point of wanting to kidnap a human and use her as a slave, but they didn't. They tied her to a flimsy easel for a month. It's assumed they had to feed and give her water. What for? Was she purely ornamental? I can understand them wanting the droids, you can sell those for a lot of money, but a chick who's only skills are finding non-existand mushrooms and getting randomly pregnant, you're not going to get much.

Just to make the fanboys drool, I'm sure Lucas would insert a scene in EP I where Darth Maul enters the Jedi Temple and fights Yoda. Personally, I didn't like seeing Yoda fight, especially with a lightsaber.

Lucas would add some young Boba Fett footage in EP III killing Jedi's and everyone will think it's so cool!

I'm sure there will be more banter between Obi-wan and Anakin, especially in EP II. Or, we'll have more "romance" scenes between Anakin and Padme that make us cringe, squeel, and vomit. I'm sure there will be a really stupid scene where Anakin saves Padme from some sentient impending evil, and it's not the Jedi way to kill it, but Padme is really turned on by Anakin butchering the creature to pieces. Then Obi-wan gives Anakin a high five about it later...

I don't know if we should write this stuff.... Effects Wizards employed by Lucas could be watching... unsure.gif

A couple more to get things going:

Anakin's 'kill all the children' scene: The Younglings attacked first. wink.gif

'Frolicking in the meadow' scene in AotC now has Jar Jar stepping in cow-pats and performing drunken pratfalls in the background. (Actually, if it helped to distract us from the awful dialogue, this might count as an improvement).

Lucas would add a scene to EP I where Qui-gon and Obi-wan meet up with Jar Jar's family and it's very much like the Star Wars Holiday Special, but it reeks of the show Family Matters as well, but this is not funny at all. Sure Jar Jar is kind of like Steve Urkel, but it's not comedy we're watching here.

For EP II, there would be more inserted droid banter. Because we didn't cringe enough from it in EP III. Lucas adds more of this, completely dumbing down the film so that it's not even a slight improvement from the dissapointment that is EP I.

And for EP III, Lucas will call Ian Mcdiarmid back to be Palpatine again, and this time, more unnecessary facial exp​ression, this time with sound effects. Example:

Palps: Do you know why they won't make you a Jedi master? (Looks like he sees a naked woman and coos)
Anakin: No, I wish I knew.
Palps: They don't trust you... (squeezes lips together and farts)
Anakin: (blank stare)
Palps: (grinning) You see Anakin, the Jedi Counsel consider you too powerfull to control. (opens his mouth wide open and makes bird sounds)
Anakin: (again, blank stare)

fin

And this will be accepted by Lucas and all who deem his work "spawn of diety."

I had to close my browser because I kept laughing too loudly at my desk here at work (in the art gallery). wink.gif

Great!

Well, we do know he's doing a tweaked set in May 2007 with CG Yoda. Hopefully many more of these great changes will occur to bring the movies closer to his "definitive vision" that he "always intended" !

LOL

Another instalment for EP I: Vin Diesel, Tyrese, and Paul Walker would be called in for the extended pod-race scene. The film would then be called: "Star Wars: Episode I: The Too Fast Too Furious Phantom Menace!" This would appeal to fanboys of Star Wars and all the street racing junkies. George Lucas would even call back John Williams to re-do the score and include new music by Ja Rule, Ludacris, and 50 cent.

Instalment for EP II: An extended scene involving Padme and Anakin when they go back to Naboo. Padme wonders why her refrigerator isn't working so Anakin tries to fix it. There's some cheap comedy here and Padme gives up and calls Sio Bibble to come and fix it. He comes over and here we see "1138" tattooed above his butt crack while bending over and fixing the fridge.

The comentary by George Lucas for this scene as follows:

George Lucas: I deleted this scene first off because it didn't have much to do with the story.
Rick MacCollum: Yeah, this wasn't my favorite scene either.
GL: But too many people were wondering where was the "1138" reference in this film. So now I went back and found it, I hope it's not too obvious.
RM: What's not too obvious? Oh f*ck! That man has 1138 tattooed on his *ss!
GL: That's what I'm talking about, Rick. And don't say stuff like that. I told you not to. Go to your room.
RM: ...but George, ...I ....
GL: Go! ... Go! Potty mouth!
RM: (sounds of Rick MacCollum getting up from his chair and stomping off)

fin


And finally, EP III will indeed have a young Han Solo and Lando Calrisian playing a game that looks amazingly similar to Texas Holdem in a canteena. Thus showing us that Lando Calrisian did lose the Millenium Falcon to Han Solo, fair and square, even when the two of them weren't even old enough to fly the thing, or even let alone be in a canteena! They'd be like five years old, max!

Even if he's not playing cards with Lando, I think a young Han Solo would be one of the most likely additions in a PT Special Edition. In fact, I could swear I read somewhere that Lucas did consider including him in one of the films.

Do we all realize that there will come a time when SW will be completely redone in the future? Once SW falls out of LFL's artistic control, then anyone will be able to redo SW in any fashion they wish.

No company would be dumb enough to let a cash cow like Star Wars out of their possession... unless they were desperate.

Wouldn't it eventually be in the public domain?

funny, yukai.

I predict Jar-Jar's antics will become part of the new extended treehouse storytime scene, in Star Wars: Episode: VI: Return of the Jedi III. Everyone involved is excited about this New production number. Long since having sold out to Lucasfilm, the Star Wars in 30 minutes guy will pen C3P0's show.



But certainly, Star Wars will be redone in the future, and will be shaped to reflect it's creators.

People already get excited that there's going to be a movie based on an another movie. Or a cartoon show. Or based on a television show from decades ago.

A remake of the OT could be bigger than Lord of the Rings.


Failure or not, it would kick the PT's ass.

You guys are giving GL too many good ideas. I swear, if I see any of these on the PT Super Special Edition, I’m going to find out where you live. Especially that Fast & the Furious PM thing. That’s so plausible its scary.

Public Domain? Sure... 75 years after Lucas's eventual death. However look at Disney. They renew their copyrights into the indefinite future. The way IP is today, no company will allow their stuff to get into the hands of the public if they can help it.

Even companies that go under have their stuff snatched up by somebody somewhere, unless through some clerifcal error or massive shift in public taste, they slip through the cracks.

Best we can hope for is some fan friendly consumerist gets a hold of them. But don't get your hopes up. Your DVDs will wear out before Star Wars becomes public domain.
