>Anakin should have been older in TPM ans started as a Jedi!!!!!
Why people miss the obvious point? Anakin needed to be a young kid to show how he was a carefree and innocent child before both the Jed and Sith got to him. To show his relationship with his mother and how the separation from her at such young affected and traumatised him for life.
Lucas called Anakin a victim when he talked about the prequels and we clearly see why.
The problem is that child actors are shit and annoying. Yippee!
The character you're now building your entire fictional universe around is totally irrelevant in his own origin movie, besides accidentally blowing up the not-death star
I wouldn't say he was irrelevant. Without him, they wouldn't have been able to fix their ship and he played a crucial role in saving Naboo.
This will require for them to use their brains and we can't have that because how else they are going to pretend that the prequels are bad movies?
First scene of the entire Prequel trilogy should have been Padawan Anakin having a force nightmare about his mother. From there you keep the stuff about him providing security for Padme and eventually falling in love with her (With better fucking dialogue obviously), and have him eventually make it to Tatooine to see his mother die. Afterwards you keep most of the stuff that actually happens in the 3rd act of AotC including Anakin losing his arm and marrying Padme. After that you go right into the Clone Wars and having Anakin become a hardened battle commander as well as illustrate his further seperation from the Jedi and take time to flesh out Obi-Wan's and Anakin's relationship. From there I think you end the second movie on something to set up the finale and basically have RotS but maybe with some tweaks. That's how I would fix the prequels.
No this is a wrong take. Here is the only right take:
The prequels should never have been made and Lucas shouldve directed Episode 7 in 1999 while the main cast was still young-ish.
Now this is podracing!
Why did no one ever come back for anakins mom? Like padme could have send someone to buy her fro. Watto and resettle her on naboo
>too accomplish this, Anakin has to be a literal child
If he was the same age as Obi-Wan was in TPM but had the same idealistic and bright attitude the same message would have been conveyed only this time Anakin would have been useful and there would have been a better establishment of his peer/master student camaraderie with Obi-Wan earlier.
>he played a crucial role in saving Naboo
In an extremely unsatisfying scene where he accidentally wins the whole movie. The sum total of his character development as a child could have accomplished in a 10 minute prologue.
Anakin should have killed Dooku in the first duel also Yoda should have say that he doesn't need more of Obiwan knowledge because he's already perfect prove me wrong
Why not complete the parallels with the original films and make him Luke's initial age? That way, we get a sense of how things could have gone very wrong. In addition, instead of him stumbling into destroying the ship, why not have a moment where he unknowingly taps into the Dark Side to do so, setting up his fall.
The "point" doesn't matter if the execution is horrible. Which it was.
how hard was it for obi wan to go back a month later with some cash and free the mom as well?
I think there are better child actors. And honestly Lucas not knowing how humans are supposed to act could have made Anakin come off worse
Its a prologue to a ring-cycle story. The most kino of structures
No, it wouldn't work. Obi Wan was 25 in TPM and Anakin being at that age, but still suffer from leaving his mother and being influenced by Palpatine and the jedi wouldn't make any sense.
Showing Vader as a child shows a side of him you’ve never seen or probably even considered before. It shows him at his most innocent and most vulnerable.
If not for that little shit kid the gang would still be stuck on tatoonie and qui'gon would be making a living out of performing as a laser-master for the local hutts while padmé would be off whoring herself at some slumlord while obi-wan was busy making good friends around town.
It wouldn't be hard and this is the point. The Jedi simply didn't care.
You got that with TFA and look at the end results.
This. Just look at Kylo. A pathetic manchild who I have zero sympathy for and he is exactly what manchildren have been demanding Anakin to be for years. I'm glad that he is nothing like him and that Lucas didn't listen to them.
Pleb shit. You’re all RLM tier spergs
No, he didn't need to be anything
The story could have been anything
Anakin should have been casted by a child actor who didn't suck. Didn't George see Jingle All The Way before he began filming?
The prequels were about showing the good Luke saw in Anakin and his fall. It needed to about something, smarty.
It was extremely bizarre that the Jedi order was fine with letting Anakin's mom be a slave, and that Anakin himself didn't care either.
What if Anakin is a teen to late teen at the Jedi temple. He barely remembers his mom and has no knowledge of his father, just where he came from. His journey is trying to finfld his mom and in the process, he learns he has no father and was born of the force. The Jedi have been training him to fulfill the chosen one prophecy without his knowledge (as knowing he was the chosen one might affect him negatively). This causes his initial mistrust of the Jedi and Kenobi but is pushed to the side as he and Kenobi get caught up in nearly the same plot at Ep 1, just with Anakin falling for Padme sooner.
iirc he picked this kid over another who even looked a bit like a young luke and had more acting experience
Why was an 8 year old racing against full grown cgi cartoon characters, no regulations?
What? We are talking about the Jedi who told Luke to forget about his friends and let them die. It's not strange that they left her in slavery especially after Qui Gon told Shmi.
And Anakin couldn't do anything because he isn't allowed to go anywhere without the order approval.
Why would Anakin be the only kid from all the other Jedi be curious about his parents? Do you know why the Jedi take infants? Because it's easier to brainwash them and make sure they don't care about their parents.
>don't
*won't
>Anakin needed to be a young kid to show how he was a carefree and innocent child before both the Jed and Sith got to him. To show his relationship with his mother and how the separation from her at such young affected and traumatised him for life.
lmao that was never, ever the point of the movie. anakin's traumatic moment was when his mother was raped by sandpeople. he was absolutely fine with the separation. yeah he was sad when he said goodbye but the rest of the movie he's happy and go-lucky, even while destroying a spaceship with living people inside
Yeah, he was totally fine in AOTC.
Oh, wait!
Because he was still taken old enough to remember his mom. He was still an exception to the rule because of his power and potential, but it's not so in your face.
It's useless to talk about individual plot points when the prequels are seven hours of nonsensical shit.
How much old exactly?
Like 4-6,when you can remember some shit but mostly just glimpses here and there. Hell, you could make him 2 when he was taken and explain it via his powerful connection to the force. The point is, no child actors.
Upon rewatch i appreciated the character of anakins mom a bit more. You can tell she is struggling between loosing her son/one purpose in life versus granting him freedom and potential
No
Solid m8
Jedi take kids from 0-4 and 6 isn't far behind 9 which was Anakin's age in TPM. This still won't make any sense for your plot to work.
The fact that she was able to raise a well adjusted kid despite their situation and he only became worse after leaving her show how underrated she is.
Anakin would have been better off with her than with the Jedi.
Why wouldn't it work? He was taken at [insert age] and remembers his mom still as a teen. His jumbered age isn't important, it's a memory.
>ywn be Padme's personal toilet...
why live bros?
It's important because why he is the one in particular who remember his mom? Why not the others too?
It's not important because he doesn't have to be the only one who remembers, he's just the one who's story we're following.
what the fuck is this fetish
I am sure there were other means including checking out other venders, the no one else sell this part is the oldest trick in the book. Theft, if mr Jim was fine tricking the guy into taking republic credits why not just steel the part and leave the credits same result. Or buy/rent a different ship. Or call a space Uber or taxi.
>Theft, if mr Jim was fine tricking the guy into taking republic credits why not just steel the part and leave the credits same result. Or buy/rent a different ship
Because this will get the Hutt after them and they already have enough problems.
>Or call a space Uber or taxi
If they were able to do that, they would have called the Jedi order or the republic instead.
Anakin! Anakin! No-o-o!
Fuck off ruining this for me, I want to rewatch it tonight.
>Ctrl+f should
>7 results
It's been 20 years, you maniacs. Let it go. Make your peace, cause the sequence of events that unfold in these movies is not gonna change. Anakin was troubled kid that had issues with dealing with loss and grief and fucked up royally. He wasn't some flawless angel that one day just flipped a switch. Also being evil does involve some heinous shit not just dressing in black and wearing a cool cape. Clones are not Jedi clones and whatever else you have a problem with cause you had some preordained expectations when you came to the cinema and expected that George Lucas is gonna tick all the boxes you made in your head about what these movies should be, cause he was never gonna have the same ideas you had.
>Why would Anakin be the only kid from all the other Jedi be curious about his parents?
What if Sheeve is sudilly encouraging his investigation into his parents in an effort to make an anakin realize he is special (no dad) and turn to the dark side (mom was a slave the Jedi could of saved but instead she was raped to death).
