The prequels

Stop George selling it to Disney

Let Irvin Kershner direct all of them, even the prequels

niggers

Kill off George Lucas in 1984. Does that count?
>No special editions
>No prequels
>No Disney
Then again maybe his kids would fuck up worse.

give different directors for every single movie for the prequels like in the OT (also George isnt one of them), also let each of them write the story themselves (like its being handled in the ST right now)

This. Literally sold his soul.

I would probably remove the incest. It was a pretty weird choice.

I II III

Prevent Lucas from directing anything after ANH.

Get rid of 90% Episode I. It's almost completely irrelevant to the overall storyline. We get nothing critical to the overall story except the existence of Padme. Characters who are a significant part of the movie, like Qui-Gon and Kid Anakin, are completely removed by Episode II. It's like a prequel to the prequels.

Honestly, if I was re-making the prequels I would start at this scene (1:13).

*90% of

Then after "promise me you'll train the boy"...just immediately do a "10 years later" type thing and start with the "plot" (I use that term very loosely) of Episode II.

Keep Lucas at arms length from the Prequels. Allow him to be a driving force, but get other directors to actually make the movies.

Starting the movie off with a lightsaber duel might be a little too much though.

He tried to get other directors. All of them told him to do it himself.

That could have been good, but do you know any directors that could have pulled it off? Theyd likely be unknown bc i cant think of any

desu im glad he did for better or worse 1-6 are not bad

>If you could change one thing about Star Wars, or prevent something etc what would you change?
No fucking Ewoks during the Battle of Endor, Endor would be instead the homeworld of the Wookies. That's my only gripe with the original trilogy.

Have George sell it to Disney before making the prequels/Special Editions (while still retaining rights to points on the gross)

or

Kill JJ Abrams and Lindelhoff after the second season of LOST.

Arguably the second would do a lot more for cinema and television in general.

More Hershlag

Prevent Marcia and George from divorcing.
Her editing was the factor that saved the original movie, and George's editing was what ruined the prequels. Supposedly there are takes where the dialogue is delivered more naturally, but Lucas' autism made him choose the worst ones. Having an extra creative input would also mean that 90% of the prequel BS (kid Anakin, Jar Jar) probably would have gotten cut as well.

>No Based Super 8
ftfy

user, we both know Speilberg was the true writer.

Did Speilberg do all the lens flares user? Did Speilberg do the fucking lens flares? Don't give me that shit.

No Daisy Ridley, there i fixed Episode VII. Im taking calls all week

Abrams definitely directed the movie but everything about the script says "Speilberg re-doing ET even better".

was speilberg involved though?

Spielberg was the main producer. Abrams was co-producer.

Prequels would have explored more into lore rather than being pew pew flicks

Have more acrobatic fights in the OT

Where though.

Explain to george that having half the characters being either puppets or horrible costumes speaking a retarded madeup language for half the fucking movie is a shit idea. Also remove the fett bloodline.

Every fight that happened in the OT

But with more spins

Didnt mean to quote.

This. People don't seem to understand how much influence Marcia had on the original Star Wars trilogy and Raiders as well.

Of course I still hold that TPM main flaw is the two child leads and the cartoon walking around.

TPM is what happens when a millionaire decides to make a Star War for his kids.

>But with more spins

THAT'S A GOOD TRICK.

>all these anons trying to remove the prequels
And here I though Sup Forums had some taste

Have only one Jedi genocide.

Seriously, I hate how repetitive this universe is, and one thing that always gets me is the Jedi Order getting culled off every 200 years. I know of at least three instances where this happens in the Legends canon, and it even happened in Force Awakens.

Episode 7, 8 and 9 wouldn't exist.
Instead we would have a trilogy about the Old Republic, starting with the Mandalorian Wars and following Revan and the Exile's storylines.
I don't even care about the prequels tbqh, they can stay right where they are.

Fuck you, user. Jar Jar and Anankin was central to what made the movie

The prequels are terrible. And what's sad is George Lucas actually put effort into them. He generally cared about those movies, whish means George ain't been shit since Marcia left his ass.

Jedis are pretty much space jews. No one likes having them around.

prequels.

So you're saying that Jar Jar is the key to all of this?

They fundamentally misunderstand what people like about Star Wars, and if you took the name off them called it something else they would still be genuinely terrible movies.

You can craft as many theories and add as much poetry as you want, at the end of the day they still have to function as actual movies and they fail on every single level besides the score. Ring Theory doesn't somehow make the cinematography look better or the performances less awful, symbolism is not something to build an entire trilogy of movies on.

The time frame, and the pristine vision of the future.

Leaving the prequels totally aside, here is what I thought would've given 7 more life:

>takes place ~250 years after 6
>opening is a visual narrative explaining the fall of the old empire, and the fracturing of the galaxy into a series of warlord states, mostly the old imperial captains going rogue after Sheev dies, but also some rogue planets and the rebel alliance of course
>there was a "dark age" with the constant warfare and breakdown of galactic communication
>rebel alliance and new jedi order fall apart somewhere along the way
>eventually by the present day, all of the legends about Luke and Han and the Jedi are truly just legends
>first order space nazis eventually get the upper hand in the endless space war, as they begin to be led by a sith
>conquer most of the galaxy, new rebel alliance forms to stop them
>Main character is some descendant of Luke
>eventually meets him, Luke keeps himself alive like Yoda with the force, but he should be all shrunken and frail
>bad sith man could be some alternative descendant of vader. space nazis could actually be a cult around vader

beauty of making it 200 years later instead of 20 is that you can plausibly believe big changes have happened to the galaxy and that the average schmuck has no idea who Luke Skywalker or the Jedi are

Other upside is you could kill off chainsmoking carrie and ford. They really held 7 back in the "safe remake" zone

No more Star Wars after Star Wars '77.

No sequels, no prequels, no cartoons, no EU, no video games, no reboots, no nothing.

One Star Wars movie and then the end.

Cull the incestuous nature of the expanded Universe lore and its adaptations.
Shit like how sith always have red light sabers, and always use lightning as force power. For being cosmic space monks that tap into the power of the universe, you'd think they could do more than telekinesis, mild mind-control, and lightning.
But those are the few powers we got to see in the classic trilogy, and instead of using that as a foundation to build more powers, it's become more-or-less the default set of powers for all jedi/sith.
Kylo stopping a blaster-shot midair has been the first breath of fresh air since 35 years. Shame it was only a whiff.

And what's the deal with red light sabers, anyways. The Emperor specifically calls lightsabers a "jedi weapon". Sith don't use them. Vader just had one because he used to be a Jedi. But nope, vader had a red one, and he's the bad guy, so red lightsaber=the bad guy. repeat a million times for easy character design.

Those aspects pervade the entire mindset of what star wars seems to be about, when it's really not.

what was the universe in 7 supposed to be anyways?
Was the order still literally the empire? Were they still fighting the same war? What happened after 6, really, did they all just give up?
