We all think about it... wondering why so-and-so left a scene in... why did they do this...

I've seen Star Wars III:RotS and to be honest, I've had problems with the first three Star Wars movies as well as the 'Digitally Re-edited' episodes 4-6.

for instance,

Episode 1: I would've made Anikin Skywalker older... possibly closer to Luke's age to parallel the two stories. It would make the romance between him and Amidalla more plausable. Start the movie at the beginning of the Clone Wars, with Amidalla being a refugee and Anakin already a Jedi Padawan.

Episode 2: Anikin's training during the wars and his secret Affair with Amidala forces him to start to make choices that start on his road to the Dark Side. Possibly using Cartoon Networks "Clone Wars" storyline, and protray the friendship of Palpatine and Anakin more. Making it more tangable than what was shown in episode 3.

Episode 3: The whole point in 4-5-6 was that the Emperor was certain that all of the Jedi are dead. Thus his battle with Yoda in the Senate Chambers should have been with Mace, ending in Mace's death. The last battle between Obi Wan and Anakin should have a more ambiguous ending on Anakin's part. For even Vader thought Obi Wan was dead until the Death Star scenes in episode 4. Amidala would have been pregnant, but not given birth, she would've gone into hiding... leaving Vader with the belief that he killed her. After all, in ST:Return of the Jedi, Leia mentions that her mother died while she was young, and that all she had was 'Impressions' of her. seeing that it could be due to Counciller Organa's morning of Amidalla's passing, it's kinda a stretch when she (Amidalla) died in childbirth.

Anyway, that's my views on this... and please, don't limit it to Star Wars, but any movie you think needs 'improving'

dont forget about sackign Jar Jar Dink

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'd improve the Matrix by replacing Keaneu (sp?) with anyone, little orphan annie for gods sake.

I'd improve Bond films by making 007 a woman... and a sexy one at that ;)

I'd change the ending of the Usual Suspects. Instead of the cops figuring out Kint's web of lies after he leaves, the cops figure it out as he's in the room. Kint looks at them, says "Yeah, so fcukin' what?" then pulls out an Assault rifle/grenade launcher combo and proceeds to blast the police station to shit a lá 'The Terminator'. At least, that's how I imagine Hollywood would do it. Bastards.

Make Sauron get the friggin ring. I mean: how likely is it for a bunch of hairy footed midgets to actually succeed?

I'd improve Bond films by making 007 a woman... and a sexy one at that ;)


last time I suggested that I was nearly lynched

Monthy Python cannot be improved.

I'd improve Bond films by making 007 a woman... and a sexy one at that ;):Gag: there was/is talk about P.Diddy being Bond. :Gag:

Monthy Python cannot be improved.
Yes 100% Right you cannot improve python and if you try to its sacreledge!

Now don't make me say KneE!!!

Make Sauron get the friggin ring. I mean: how likely is it for a bunch of hairy footed midgets to actually succeed?
How is it they didn't frazzle their feet on the obviously newly laid lava beds? I mean, jesus, the ground was steaming and they're just wandering over it, barefoot, not even singing their foot hair. I'd have had a "Volcano" moment in there. I mean the film, where some guy is rescuing people from a trapped subway train and has to jump into lava to save the last person, and he's all "AAAAAAH!" As he slowly descends into the lava. Just do that with Sam. I'm telling you, Tolkein couldn't have written to save his life [/ok, blasphemy over now. Sorry :p ]

Monthy Python cannot be improved.

I don't know...It's still my favorite movie, but MORE COCONUTS! MORE SWALLOWS! I MEAN, AN ENDING MIGHT BE NICE. Nah, i like it without an ending. Gives one something to chew on:

So...did Arthur get one call? Who'd he call?

Make Sauron get the friggin ring. I mean: how likely is it for a bunch of hairy footed midgets to actually succeed?you're not improving a movie, you're ruining a book

The only major changes I would make is-
Don't explain the force.

Anikan builds R2-D2 and not a generic protical droid that has nothing to distinguish him. Especially since R2 is so dogged determined to move the story forward in 4-6.

No "NNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

The rest I can more or less live with, though I wish it synced up with the originals without having to alter the originals...

Kill Bill: The Musical.

EDIT: No, scratch that. On second thoughts, Reservoir Dogs: The Musical seems like a more interesting concept. Mr Blonde singing Stuck In The Middle With You, while cutting a policeman's ear off...

So...did Arthur get one call? Who'd he call?

He doesn't need to call anyone he'd just make a shrubery

Kill Bill: The Musical.
I'll give Mr. Lloyd Webber a call, shall I?

I would cut the love story out of Titanic. Then it would be a half decent movie.

I'll give Mr. Lloyd Webber a call, shall I?

Put me in touch with whoever did the Jerry Springer one. I like the way they think.

Kill Bill: The Musical.

Almost as vulgar as Malcolm MacDowell singing "Singing in the Rain" while he rapes a woman in A Clockwork Orange

Put me in touch with whoever did the Jerry Springer one. I like the way they think.
I can write it.

(to a 'Three little Maids' by Guilbert and Sullivan)
UMA: Three little pricks who near killed me,
I'm going to kill you, all of...thee,
You may as well commit Hari-Kari,
Three little friends of Bill.

*gets coat*

He doesn't need to call anyone he'd just make a shrubery

Haven't you seen the new DVD release? Peruvian Llamas come to his rescue.

It's good, but I think Uma Thurman should convey her anger through the medium of dance.

I guess that was the idea of the scene in the first place. Cheerfully dancing along to the radio while torturing somebody is pretty vulgar.
