[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago (2 children) Well explain then. Yeah I know the dialogue is afwul and some choices like jar jar and too much CGI can be jarring. But what is wrong with the story? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 11 points 4 months ago (1 child) I wrote some tweaks for it a few years ago, but I'm kinda scared to post it here. The overarching storyline was okay, but it was the execution and the smaller details. Dying of sadness was dumb. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 child) Nah post it I wanna see your tweaks. Yeah the execution was lacking but if you watched the movies you'll mostly just remember the overall story anyway. Definitely better than the jumbled mess the sequels were. One of the reasons when me and my GF watched star wars I never even bothered telling her they exist. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 2 points 4 months ago (1 child) Nah, I just remember the memes XD I'm also one of the few people who thought Ep1 was the best of the prequels. I'm not brave enough for the Disney trilogy. I already went through watching a protag being ruined when I played Apollo Justice, don't need to do it again. Here are my tweaks. https://blog.outtolunch.me.uk/2020/11/22/prequels-review-and-fix/ Although Nellith and Luke being the twins is still my headcanon. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 point 4 months ago (1 child) Seems like generally good ideas. The only part I personally did jot like your changes was Anakin turning to the dark side. I don't know how I would have prefered it but your version of events does not appeal to me either. Overall the movies would have been quite a bit better if they were more in line with that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 1 point 4 months ago (1 child) Cool, no worries. My version was just how I'd have preferred it to go, since we had to have Anakin become Vader. To me, this made the most sense for how to make it happen without straying too far from the canon. I'm glad you liked my other tweaks though! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago Yeah they are good.
