You are transported back in time to 1997 and are placed in a position of highest authority within Lucasfilm Ltd. How do you make the Prequel Trilogy actually successful?

Hire people that can tell Lucas no to his stupid ideas. Let the actual screenwriter write the screenplay. Ban CGI. Hire Haley Joel Osment to play Anakin.

It was always going to be successful because millennial kids all had the original trilogy and star wars toys growing up and were hyped.

It was already too late for Fisher to come back at any point after 1997.

Just age Anakin up to the same age Luke was in episode 4. Make adjustments to plot/narrative accordingly. Simple as. All the problems stem from Anakin being 9 but looking/acting like he's 6.

I absolutely do not understand this mindset. I like the prequels and Star Wars generally BECAUSE it was all made by Lucas and his stupid ideas. Guys star wars is fake you fucking retards, it was all made up by George Lucas. It's this cool epic sci-fi story and crap that he made. I liked watching it because I liked all the stupid stuff that George came up with almost as much as I liked all the super cool stuff that he came up with. They're his movies. The less involvement George has in a Star Wars project, the less interested I am in it.

Its this pervasive myth that after the success of the OT Lucasfilm was full of yes men that bowed down to Lucas on every decision and option. Its from those retarded redlettermedia videos. Much of the same staff worked on the OT and prequel trilogy and Lucas gave a ton of creative leeway to staff and actors.

I go with The Original Script for The Phantom Menace that was supposed to come out in 1987

https://youtu.be/7uQa51olDDU?t=1081

A story where Obi-Wan raises and trains a group of lost boys as Padawans and one of them is Anakin Skywalker and the other Uncle Owen. This is already a million times better than the garbage Lucas made in 1999.

People really discounted the idea that the prequels are the way they are because they were intentionally made that way. Like with the dialogue for example. They criticize the actors performances and say Lucas' writing is terrible without thinking that Lucas intentionally wrote the dialogue to be that way. He wanted it to be noticeably different than that of the OT movies. They don't approach the films with the question "what was Lucas trying to do here".

There is no "Phantom Menace 1987" script or draft, or outline. This is worse than fan fiction. Its fan speculation. Lucas began writing the first draft of TPM in '93.

I wonder what happens to all the nonmovie stuff like vidya, tv series, etc. if they went in this direction instead. Clone War stuff carried the franchise for so long after the prequels were made that it's hard for me to even imagine it otherwise.

This isn't fan fiction. Lucas had planned to release the prequels at least 5 years after ROTJ. True the offical script wasn't written until the early 90's but you forget Lucas had an entire back story already written in Star Wars: Journal of the Whills around 1974 before even a New Hope was made and that's why the video is titled 'What If' sorry I should have said, "I go with The Original plan (not script) for The Phantom Menace"

Lucas kept pushing the movies to the 90's just so he can fucking have Jar Jar be cgi

Lucas is too small brain and ignorant for the ‘deeper’ messages of the prequels to be of any value. You get really cheap criticisms of ‘fascism’ and praise of democracy and a lot of empty shit.

Easily observable as he is a Christian by self admission and doesn’t realize he has his evil Sith Lord quoting Christ and being chastised by obi wan for the content of the quote. Then the moralism of Christ is instantly dropped by the same character with a sort of post modernist view and the one chastising Christian quotes becomes a black and white moralist.

It’s completely non sense on a deeper level so there’s no point to any of it beyond its immediate entertainment value which is bad in this case because outside of the light saber duels in 1 and 2 it’s a lot of political intrigue that is really empty and meaningless unless you care about complex alien trade schemes.

start the trilogy with anakin as an adult already. completely bin the priestly nature of jedi. anakin has a wife the same age and obi-wan is actually a good friend. the overall plot is similar to the plot of dark empire where anakin's mission is to get close to the emperor who is already obviously a sith. he fails his mission by being brainwashed by the emperor.

Make Attack of the Clones four hours long so there’s more time to flesh out the romance. If the deleted scenes are anything to go by, all the movie needed was to have Anakin and Padme spend more time together and reflect on it to be more believable.
Maybe cut out some of Anakin’s outbursts like him confessing to killing the Tuskens. Padme doesn’t need to know about that.
Turn the fight between Dooku and Yoda into full-on shonenshit. I think what they do with their lightsabers is great but they needed to do more actual force shit.
Heavily expand the Genndy clone wars show to include more storylines covered in books like Shatterpoint or The Cestus Deception.
Nothing else needs to be done. The prequels will become perfect like this.

make it a tv show, that fixes all the issues, the problem was pacing, you can't have intersteller trade disputes and also have jar jar binx doing slapstick comedy side by side, it creates whiplash.
