@@snknero9935 @j.j.plagiarisms7149 Actually, that ship is just like Padme x Anakin, because they have the same difference between each other. Padme is 5 years older than Anakin and Anakin is 5 years older than Ahsoka, and given that Padme didn't come off as creepy as Leonardo DiCaprio(the actor who almost got to play Anakin in AOTC) marrying a barely adult/legal individual every time one is available by the story and wasn't framed as such in AOTC, along with the fact that Humans originally had longer lifespans in the PT and EU, it's clear their in-universe standards are different compared to ours. 8:14 - 8:47 Also, Obi-Wan and Padme have a 12 - 14 year age gap between them. Very much unlike the 5 year age gap between Padme, then Anakin, and then Ahsoka.
All jokes aside, I always felt this way about his idiotic videos. Belated medias alternative prequel trilogy was some of the worse fanfic I'd ever seen. While I fully acknowledge that prequels are bad movies. They're bad because of George Lucas poor writing & lazy directing. If he wrote out his scripts, handed off directing duties to a more competent director & let a couple screenwriters clean up his scripts. They would've been masterpieces.
This guy is a perfect example for why you can’t just rewrite something with the concept alone. You gotta think of your own consistency and keep track of any plot holes you make. Something I get anxious about when I rewrite something.
It’s so funny how he makes large changes but then seems to forget those changes mid video. Anakin is older but still a kid. Palpatine is only an intermediary and has no real authority but is somehow the emperor.
I have a confession to make. I took Belated Media's rewrites series and kinda enjoyed them, by looking back, yeah they're dumb. 12:25-12:28 That's why Anakin is a good character. Despite being a slave his spirit remains unbroken. He's a happy and helpful kid. Prequel haters suck all the character and fun out of the Prequels.
@ Same. Chris used to be good, but his video where he said he didn’t want to criticize bad movies as a critic was a turn off. He also is just a bore honestly. All the old critics I used to watch I stopped with the exception of Jeremy Jahns, he’s good. 👍
@@AmericanImperium1776 Heh, Jahns is the only one I sometimes still watch, as well. I dropped Stuckman when he proved a complete lack of objectivity with his Star Wars reviews. All he ever does is follow what he believes is the prevailing sentiment. Prequels? Just parrot RLM. Sequels? Complete milquetoast criticism.
Man this guy not making Anakin mechanically gifted, as if it wasn’t an early yet subtle nod to Anakin’s turning into a literal machine man, who by building a droid (which could speak tons of languages) only meant to help his mom, something that shows his child-scale tendencies to have control or safety on things he cares of as character and as future villain. It’s a CORE explanation of his personality in episode 2: “I’m good at fixing things, always was, but not enough to save my mother”
Yeah I think obi wan as a man who closely followed the Jedi teachings dedicated so much of his life to kindness and compassion would never sleep with someone he likely knew Anakin was with
@@chunguschungus yeah and then George cut it because he decided it wasn’t a good idea. And it was never a logical thought . It was just Sidious planting distrust in Anakin’s head. Padme never loved Obi-Wan. It’s never implied in any version of Star Wars.
Lukashoka unironically is a less obnoxious ship than Padmawan. No--scratch that Lukeia is a less obnoxious ship than Padmawan. lol. Its hard to explain just why this is such a dog 💩ship. It feels wrong on every level. Like sticking your manhood in a blender.
Padme is meant to represent Anakin's perfect other half, always loving him until the bitter end and even knowing that he was still good deep down, trait which got shared to Luke. To destroy that very important detail just to add a ship which is utterly antithetical to everything else in Star Wars just because you want more sexual tension is insanity.
Especially since his argument seems to revolve entirely around Toydarians simply being mind trick resistant, only to discount their species pathological greed and self serving nature would make them even larger liabilities. Qui-Gon didn't need his jedi mind tricks to play Watto like a fiddle, just good old fashioned hustling.
While I understand why a lot of these types want Anakin to be a few years older, I wonder why none of them ever go in the other direction and make Pademe younger given because a young inexperienced queen that Sideous thought would be easy for the Vice Roy to roll over is the exact thing his plan for becoming the Supreme Chancellor was with the plot being how things played out as a contingency due to the events of the movie not quite going to plan.
Yeah, this dude's rewrite makes no sense whatsoever. It basically feels like he just heard every boilerplate Prequel criticism, and tried to incorporate it into a rewrite, regardless of if it made sense or not.
It’s almost as if people like Belated Media completely missed the point of Anakin’s inclusion in this movie. Him being an optimistic, hopeful kid attached greatly to his mother is meant to provide context to and accentuate the tragedy of his fall. Taking all that away from him completely defeats the purpose of his character arc in the prequels; how even the noblest and most well-intentioned can fall to evil from their darkest impulses
1000%. Worse actually they just remade the original trilogy as thinly done requel and ruined Luke, Han and Leia. And introduced the Disney versions of those characters or their replacements.
It’s like if George was the only one with enough balls to write his dialogue the way it stayed in the prequels and worked. Every time I watch someone else’s version it sounds like something that came out of the sketchiest angles of Lord of the Rings or a grim dark military fantasy, but not from Star Wars
This guy went to the JJ Ambrans school of mystery boxes and the Dave the Hack class of spectacle over substance. What I wish we had were the cut content George had for these movies and inevitable didn't make the final release, Revenge of the Sith alone could have made for an entire series of a show given how much we got in the movie, but at the same time we got what was important. It's because of people like this guy that we lost Star Wars in the first place.
The Fox executives did complain to George about kid Anakin in episode I. According to George they wanted Darth Vader killing Jedi from the first movie. They knew a film, or films based on a line in the original would be an easy sell. This is the kind of mentality Disney is doing. Just reference something, don't tell a story or have any exposition or world building.
That’s not what the Disney movies are like. The problem with Episode isn’t because Anakin isn’t killing jedis. It’s that Anakin being a kid doesn’t completely work. People were okay with Anakin not being Vader. I just wish the story was executed better.
@@MrShakespearefan , that's exactly what the Disney movies are like. They based an entire movie on the roll up to Star Wars. Rebel Spies managed to steal stolen plans.
@@MrShakespearefanHow does Anakin being a kid not completely work? How doesn't it work? The whole point of him being a kid is that it's supposed to heighten the tragedy of his and the Galaxy's downfall......how this wide eyed innocent young boy became the most feared monster of the galaxy. You can't just say something didn't work without explaining WHY it didn't work. And you say you wish the story was better........HOW? How should the story have gone? What would it need to be better?
@ I don’t know. I’m not a screenwriter. And it’s subjective. For some, The Phantom Menace is great. I just think Lucas could’ve fine tuned his script in some areas.
The fact that this man wants a relationship with obi wan who is 25 and padme who is 14 in episode 1. Why, they are 11 years apart in episode 1. Padme mind you is below the age of 18. Say what you want with anakin and padme’s relationship but at least they were 5 years apart in the prequel trilogy and not 11 years apart. This video rewrite of episode 1 is so messy then the original episode 1.
@@nightwing2032 Yes, 11 yrs is too much. I would’ve liked a Padme / Obi Wan relationship if say they were 23 and 18. I think if any change to be made in Episode 1 it would be to simplify the entire story. Then add details in the Episode 2. I think even in rewatching over and over it’s a complicated story.
The most charitable interpretation is that this guy forgot that Natalie Portman was only 16 when TPM came out. For some reason, everyone imagines adult Natalie Portman being in movie, even though she still looks like a high school student when standing next to Obi-wan and Qui-gon.
@nightwing2032 @MarthaMyDear6 @Abcdefg-tf7cu That's why I'm not bothered by the Ahsoka x Anakin ship, because much like how Padme was 5 years older than Anakin, Anakin is 5 years older than Ahsoka. Furthermore, and although I agree with you, Han is 10 years older than Leia and their relationship is fine and dandy.
I’m pretty sure that 20th Century Fox (not “sTuDiOs”) wouldn’t have been able to say anything about the script because A New Hope was the only Star Wars movie they funded entirely themselves and Lucasfilm handled the rest of the saga. And Fox only controlled the distribution rights until Disney bought Lucasfilm.
Belated Media's video is 12 Years old, the prequel hate was still very strong back then, plenty of Tom, Dicks and Harry's thought they could do a better job with writing it. I remember watching this on an older youtube account, honestly the rewrite is worse than I remember, it's not even the rewrite I was initially thinking of, I've heard a few over the years. I'm not a huge fan of the prequels, but without them I don't think we would have gotten some other great Star Wars stories, like Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
@@slaviclad9705 I think George Lucas's vision/story could have been executed better. It's nowhere near the worst film I've seen. And I'm not someone that goes out of their way to watch bad films and laugh at them either. I think one of the worst things I ever watched was Manos the Hands of Fate. Such a nothing burger of a film, that is infamous for all the right reasons. Not worth the time to watch, the kind of film to kill a friendship XD.
Pretty sure the same people that think the Plinkett review was the pinnacle of Star Wars reviews are the same people that unironically think the Rick & Morty meme.
@@TheKiltedGerman Those Plinkett reviews can still be entertaining to watch or listen to. I mean they do have some dumb stuff too, like the line about black people not liking Star Wars all that much. Even Linkara pointed out that was a bad take, which I think happened before everyone kept poking fun at him for his awful Lightbringer comic.
They thought Larry Kasdan without George would be absolutely brilliant and unfettered by yes men. Where are they now after Force Awakens and Solo. Nobody thinks that noise now.
Love seeing this wildly mid rewrite being called out. Never understood how people thought this was a good rewrite, it was basically just attempted catering to complainers without making sense
Keeping Anakin as a child in episode 1 makes sense because of his hope, willingness to help Qui Gon, attachment to his mother, and curiosity of the Galaxy and thinking it's better than Tatooine but if you make him a teen then subtract the curiosity, hope, and willingness since by then he will think that being a slave is everything and he'll think Qui Gon will just take him to slavery but a different kind so making Anakin a teen isn't as good a idea as the rewriter says
Indeed. I think making him a teen or young adult in contrast to his curiosity is basically the rewriter saying silently he doesnt like kid Vader and is just making another Luke. Even Rey who is a Luke reboot kinda just escaped Jakku only because she was curious about the whole resistance thing like a teen is to concerts, yet she didn’t want to get involved and wanted to go back to meet her family. So, 1 wanted to go after loss 2 wanted to go but with the cost of loss And 3 wanted to avoid or escape inevitable loss. All three have different agencies.
and it's interesting to see Anakin and Padme to see where Luke and Leia got their attitudes and spirit. Their sense of justice. and how much like Luke, Anakin was in the beginning.
My issue with him being a child is the romance with Padme in the later movies. I remember when I first watched the prequel trilogy and didn't know they would be an item. I frankly felt kind of disgusted when they hooked up in Episode 2 because she was so much older than him on Episode 1.
@@pkj2148 I mean, Padme is only 5 years older than Anakin. That's why I'm not bothered by the Anakin x Ahsoka ship so many are bothered by, because Anakin is only 5 years older than Ahsoka. In addition, Han is 10 years older than Leia, and that's fine. Furthermore, given that both Padme and Han weren't framed as being as creepy as Leonardo DiCaprio(the actor who almost got to play Anakin in AOTC) marrying a barely legal individual whenever one is available in both AOTC and the OT respectively, along with the fact that Humans originally had longer lifespans in the PT and EU, it's clear their in-universe standards are different to our own.
@@FMK03 She might be only 5 years older, but she looks much older, which makes sense. There is a clear difference in mental and physical maturity between a 9 and 14 year-old. One looks like barely older than a toddler while the other is already going through puberty. It also didn't help that I thought Padme was 18 when I watched the movie. For Han and Leia, it isn't an issue given they are both adults and Han doesn't look that much older. I never even knew he was 10 years older. For Anakin and Padme, the age difference looks just too large that I just couldn't get over it.
George Lucas OWNED Star Wars at the time. If Fox didn't want to do it the way he wanted, he would just release it through another studio or independently. Lucas financed Episodes 1 -3 and 5 and 6 ON HIS OWN MONEY. Morons.
I'm glad you pointed that out because that bugged the shit out of me 😂. Why would a Fox executive rewrite the Star Wars Prequels when they were just the distributor......they didn't own the rights to it? Also why would a FOX EXECUTIVE rewrite anything? What they would most likely do is give some notes and ideas but full rewrites? They would just bring in writers to do rewrites.....they wouldn't actually rewrite the films themselves. Because they are executives.......not writers. I swear a lot of the complaints about Lucas are from people who have no fucking idea about how the film industry works, how filmmaking works and how storytelling works.
101 of writing love stories is the love interest must not have more chemistry with other characters than with the love interested. Making Padmé attracted to Obi Wan would ruin her later relationship with Anakin.
This guy really makes you think that prequel haters are just stupid. Because why does he think it's bad to split up our heroes, it seems like he can't follow more than a single thread at a time. Tbh most of prequel hate seems to be about complexity and i just don't get it. In fact it's worrying that some people just can't follow the narrative.
The people rewriting the prequels don’t know what makes Star Wars Star Wars. While George may not be the best at writing dialogue, the six films are consistent with how the characters talk and them talking the way they do is very intentional. Meanwhile, these people who try to rewrite the Prequels have worse writing than whatever George wrote and they can’t see how bad their ideas truly are.
Are you going to do Banditincorporated Star Wars prequels rewrite he does a complete overhaul it’s totally different story and that’s my favorite fan fix of them all.
It's amazing how much this guy doesn't understand the prequels at all as he tries to rewrite them. He says the prequels could've felt familiar not just through returning characters but through "theming and parallels," then goes on to suggest changes that are just variations on the shared themes & parallels with the OT that are ALREADY IN THE PREQUELS! For years I've seen prequel haters spout nonsense that makes it clear they didn't even pay attention to the movies in the first place. Prequel hate never deserved to get popular because it was always baseless.
The worst part of this was him completely ignoring the droid control ship plot line. He pretends that the Gungans and the Naboo army could beat the droids in a direct confrontation when we know that isn't true.
I enjoyed these well enough back in the day, but when I got to Episode 3 and he had the relationship between Anakin and Padme a surprise reveal for ROTS I rolled my eyes.
@SolurVoludun No disagreement from me, man. That whole show is little more than a giant continuity error. The 2003 microseries somehow tells more real story and stays faithful to canon in two hours.
It took until the sequel trilogy for anyone to realize that the prequels were a great story, it's just that everything that isn't part of the main story sucks
The Phantom Menance is my favorite Star Wars movie (yeah, I said it) and whenever I see someone trying to rewrite it (or any of the six films) all I see is red!
I admit, I'm curious. I'm by no means a prequel hater (and E1 was my first entry in the series actually), and while I certainly like the episode I generally like the others better (E3 is my personal favorite of the whole saga). So that said, I want to hear you out on why it's your favorite. I've never seen anyone say that, so whatever you have to say will probably be new to me. And I'm down for something new to appreciate about it.
@GreatFox42 It's the movie that sets everything into motion. It's like seeing the set-up for a big chess game. I love seeing Anakin as a small and innocent child, a far cry from the monster he eventually becomes. Also, Duel of the Fates is the best lightsaber duel, hands down.
The first rule of rewriting any work of media is that, at least for the most part, less is more. Minor tweaks and changes can make a huge difference, while changing too much can obliterate what good material is already there. The Prequels were flawed gems, and just needed a bit of polish to really be as great as they could've been. If you want to know how I'd rewrite the Prequels: for Episode I, I'd age Anakin up just a bit to give Lucas access to a broader range of actors (or just so Hayden Christiansen can play Anakin across all three movies the way Natalie Portman did with Padme), and I'd swap the first and second acts, showing Anakin's induction into the Jedi, followed by the invasion of Naboo as his first assignment with Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. Not much else needs to be touched, and most issues that arise could be solved with minor tweaks and a cursory dialogue pass. The following two films are easy. Just give them extra runtime and put material from the novelizations (most of which was in the early drafts of the scripts and cut for time) on screen directly, seeing as Episodes II and III both had excellent novelizations that enriched and enhanced the story to a huge degree. Done. I didn't need three, twenty-minute-long videos to rewrite the Prequels. Just a couple of paragraphs to sum up my proposed changes. Is it the best way to rewrite them? Maybe, maybe not. But so many of these rewrite videos completely lose the core of the story and eject everything without thinking about how they can add context or tweak minor details to make things work better. They always end up a complete mess that mashes together a billion ideas the author thought would be cool, without any thought as to how it would function as a cohesive whole, and thus the rewrite often sounds more like fanfiction than a serious proposal. TL;DR: Less is more. You don't need to change everything to "fix" movies that could be greatly improved with a few strategic tweaks and added scenes for more context.
At 4:14 I want to point out that the focus is not Luke and not Anakin or Vader in the entire series. Yes, it's not. It's about the Skywalker family as a whole which includes Anakin, Padme, Luke and Leia and this has been crystal clear even in the original trilogy. I'd say the central focus is more on Luke and Anakin / Vader but overall the story has ALWAYS been about the story of this family. That's the whole point of star wars episode 1-6. Anakin is an innocent boy who has several tragedies that lead him to question his faith. He falls in love and then later that love along with his trauma leads him to fall from grace. Then his son fills his footsteps once again as the hopeful hero but he learns from his father's fall from grace and they both overcome the face of evil, beating the big bad as father and son and redeeming the family's legacy. Anakin and the family are redeemed in the end. Even if the prequels never happened, through dialog in the OT it's clear that Anakin was once a hero that fell from grace and turned to the darkside and that Luke redeems his father and makes him the hero he once was again. Both overcome their personal demons and the demons of the family as a whole. They overcome their dark past to beat the true evil and redeem themselves in the eyes of the galaxy / force. THAT'S LITTERALLY THE FOCUS! The fact that people don't understand that is baffling (not directed at you because you seem to fully get this but the rewrite guy doesn't). Star wars is a family drama; A Shakespearean tragedy about this family that has a dark past and must overcome their collective trauma as a family to redeem their legacy. The other characters like Obi Wan, Qui Gon, Yoda and the crew in the OT are supposed to add to the narrative that this family is surrounded by trauma and that they must overcome it head on to fix the wrongs that tarnish the family's legacy. They must correct their path or they are all doomed like Vader before Luke turns him back to the light.
I’ve always liked Jar Jar as a character and found him funny. I’m not saying people need to agree with me on that, but regardless of how you feel about him, he was an important character. And, I’ve never understood why so many of his haters claim he served no purpose.
9:15 in this guy's defense, I also think that aging up Anakin would have been a better idea, but mainly so Hayden Christensen could play the role for all three films, improving its continuity.
One of the most unnecessary changes he had was with Palpatine. There was absolutely _zero_ reason to suggest changing Palpatine’s position, since - as it is - it makes perfect sense.
This guy, Belated Media is a textbook definition of a Disney Star Wars writer. His mannerisms and his shallow understanding of what makes a good plot in a story is so real like a physical object that you could crash a car into it.
As a writer myself, even My large interconnected web of a story doesn't have this many plot holes, because I rewrote and patched up those holes. (I'm an amateur writer, You see) This guy somehow, with a relatively small story, has His characters jump from place to place, ignoring how they get from point A to point B. Have them take a ship or something, Y'know, the things star wars is arguably known for due to the dogfights? Even I make sure to have the characters walk, or use some form of transportation. Having characters teleport around without any reason as to why just doesn't make sense, It ruins the cohesion of the story, Too.
Literally in order for darth maul to stay alive throughout the prequel trilogy, you need to get rid of duku being a jedi and entirely get rid of grievous. You would need maul obsessed with improving himself to the point of making himself a cyborg like grievous and you either have to kill him off in the third movie. So what's the point in his character if he needs to die anyway
My brother, 11 years older than me, also hates PT and despises everything about it... Makes me really sad, because he's not a stupid man, but really tries to enforce that i am stupid and illitirate... Also i watched so many of your videos so i forgor where did you said it, but BY THE FORCE I FEEL REVENGED, because you are the first man on this planet i heard (beside myself) who actually said that midi-chloriance are important for establishing HOW strong connection to the Force can be transferred to offsprings of Anakin. I am not crazy!
They need to rewrite the PS1 game! I DESPISED the Coruscant underworld level!!! I'd rather it be like a political RPG level! Like the Tatooine level almost
Hey JJ. Did you ever watch that one video from the Nostalgia critic About what if qui gon lived? In which he made both Anakin and Luke brothers for some reason And A few other things that sound like it came from a fanfic.
The few prequel rewrites ive seen on youtube back in the day were beyond ridiculous and stupid, no offence to their authors, like that one aussie guy with the wolf avatar, cant remember his name. They were just nuts And the complaint about a single main protagonist really made a lot of people look like idiots considering almost all movies in this genre have ensemble casts and multiple main characters, including Star Wars.
Its specifically: Qui-Gon - Protagonist of Ep. 1 Padme - Focus of story of Ep. 1 Anakin - Focus of the entire PT. Obi-Wan - Central character Jar Jar - Childlike POV of events (like R2 from the OT). It's basically the same thing with the OT. Luke was the main protagonist but A New Hope was Leia's story with Han and Chewie being central characters. Anakin, Obi Wan and Padme mirror that dynamic once Qui Gon is killed.
Beehive time! Would Jar Jar worked better if he had Bazil to play off if? Like Bazil could of been another creature on naboo. Like how C3PO and R2 played off each other
Very cutting commentary. I love any discussions on TPM. I still have very mixed emotions on TPM. When it was first released - I waited in line for days to be at first showing in Austin - I cried on the way home. Very disappointed. Now, I absolutely love (most of) it due to playing Star Wars Galaxies for years! It really got me immersed in the different planets, characters, etc. Esp appreciate Jar Jar now - like you noted, he is very important to the story.
@chasehedges6775 I agree with that but I really hold TPM much more since it really started me to love Star Wars more eventhough I watched the OT first but for me something bigger was missing and the PT really built up the world building more cool aliens, space ship
I don't really care about anakin being a kid because of the kid vader thing, but i would still make him older because he's such a fundamentally different person by the time we see him in attack of the clones. can you think of anybody who's the same person at all when they're in their late 20s compared to when they were an 8 year old?
I think the reason for a bunch of prequel rewrites wanting an older Anakin is to help with the Padme romance. Having Padme and Anakin be the same age can allow for more romantic scenes and for it to feel less weird to them. I can see having Anakin be 12-13 and the story staying the same. That’s still a kid
9:50 I feel it’s more 3P0 being repaired and not genuinely designed. He clearly didn’t fully design the thing 21:30 This also screws up Obi Wan’s position as a Jedi hard
Having Maul die works for the story and world far more, it brings intrigue and mystery. Something that newer fans don’t seem to enjoy at all, they need everything explained.
@chasehedges6775 I always see you in each UA-cam channel such as Nostalgia Critic and The Critical Drinker. Also, I'm subscribed to your UA-cam channel.
Maybe I'd leave out Qui-Gon entirely. I love Liam Neeson as an actor, but having Yoda train Obi-Wan could have been shown early on. Not a disservice at all to the original films, only it might derail thousands of books/spinoffs that were needed to be commercially viable. Obi-Wan is meditating on Dagobah to keep rocks from falling, while deflecting a stone being flung at him with the force. He hears a cry in distress, and goes to investigate a conflict where he meets Anakin.
Originally George was going to make Anakin. I agree he should have been a bit older, because than the relationship between him and Padme may have been less creepy. Other than that, I think this guy got his idea how to write from Terrible Writing Advice. The love triangles are a very common trope with him. Also, most of this, this guy sounds like he's just re-explaining in the original movie and not really making anything new. It's another common thing that happens with bad fanfiction writers. in the attempt to make a whole new and better fanfiction, they basically refollow what's already been done, because they lack the imagination and originality to make anything new themselves. And it's fine if he want to do a fanfiction, but don't post is like 'what George Lucas did sucks. I can make it much better' and then do the same damn thing.
The relationship between Padme and Anakin seems creepier than it is because we all think of Natalie Portman as the adult that she currently is, while we only know Jake Lloyd as a child actor. She was still in high school when Phantom Menace came out. The fact that she had hit a growth spurt while child Anakin's actor hadn't also makes the age Gao between them seem bigger than it really is.
Assuming I owned the star wars IP and had a large sum of money, Id just pay George handsomely to personally oversee the clone wars rather than Dave Filoni. Really the issue was the clone wars didnt live up to its full potential, not the prequel movies.
Also I don’t think belated understands the irony of try e most evil person in the Star Wars universe the one who rose to power, was a senator. A politician if you will

Man this guy not making Anakin mechanically gifted, as if it wasn’t an early yet subtle nod to Anakin’s turning into a literal machine man, who by building a droid (which could speak tons of languages) only meant to help his mom, something that shows his child-scale tendencies to have control or safety on things he cares of as character and as future villain.
It’s a CORE explanation of his personality in episode 2: “I’m good at fixing things, always was, but not enough to save my mother”
So many prequel rewrites include an Obi-Wan and Padme ship. It’s so weird. I honestly despise that ship with a burning passion.
Yeah I think obi wan as a man who closely followed the Jedi teachings dedicated so much of his life to kindness and compassion would never sleep with someone he likely knew Anakin was with
One of the original plans for ROTS was Anakin suspecting them being in a relationship, it explains his reaction to Obi-Wan and hatred of him more.
@@chunguschungus yeah and then George cut it because he decided it wasn’t a good idea.
And it was never a logical thought . It was just Sidious planting distrust in Anakin’s head. Padme never loved Obi-Wan. It’s never implied in any version of Star Wars.
Lukashoka unironically is a less obnoxious ship than Padmawan. No--scratch that Lukeia is a less obnoxious ship than Padmawan. lol. Its hard to explain just why this is such a dog 💩ship. It feels wrong on every level. Like sticking your manhood in a blender.
Padme is meant to represent Anakin's perfect other half, always loving him until the bitter end and even knowing that he was still good deep down, trait which got shared to Luke. To destroy that very important detail just to add a ship which is utterly antithetical to everything else in Star Wars just because you want more sexual tension is insanity.
"The Empire should have just made all the storm troopers Toydarians!" - genius! Why didn't they listen to this guy XD
Especially since his argument seems to revolve entirely around Toydarians simply being mind trick resistant, only to discount their species pathological greed and self serving nature would make them even larger liabilities. Qui-Gon didn't need his jedi mind tricks to play Watto like a fiddle, just good old fashioned hustling.
While I understand why a lot of these types want Anakin to be a few years older, I wonder why none of them ever go in the other direction and make Pademe younger given because a young inexperienced queen that Sideous thought would be easy for the Vice Roy to roll over is the exact thing his plan for becoming the Supreme Chancellor was with the plot being how things played out as a contingency due to the events of the movie not quite going to plan.
Yeah, this dude's rewrite makes no sense whatsoever. It basically feels like he just heard every boilerplate Prequel criticism, and tried to incorporate it into a rewrite, regardless of if it made sense or not.
Exactly
Man, this guy took out all the sincerity in this film. What happened to Shmi? That’s literally the foundations to Anakin’s character
It’s almost as if people like Belated Media completely missed the point of Anakin’s inclusion in this movie. Him being an optimistic, hopeful kid attached greatly to his mother is meant to provide context to and accentuate the tragedy of his fall. Taking all that away from him completely defeats the purpose of his character arc in the prequels; how even the noblest and most well-intentioned can fall to evil from their darkest impulses
This is basically how Disney wrote the sequels
Yeah and this writing is AWESOME!!!

1000%. Worse actually they just remade the original trilogy as thinly done requel and ruined Luke, Han and Leia. And introduced the Disney versions of those characters or their replacements.
Imagine how much more hated the prequels would have been if this was the story
People complain a lot about the dialogue in Star Wars, but god, the way that characters speak in Blatent media rewrite is cringe as hell.
It’s like if George was the only one with enough balls to write his dialogue the way it stayed in the prequels and worked.
Every time I watch someone else’s version it sounds like something that came out of the sketchiest angles of Lord of the Rings or a grim dark military fantasy, but not from Star Wars
This guy went to the JJ Ambrans school of mystery boxes and the Dave the Hack class of spectacle over substance.
What I wish we had were the cut content George had for these movies and inevitable didn't make the final release, Revenge of the Sith alone could have made for an entire series of a show given how much we got in the movie, but at the same time we got what was important.
It's because of people like this guy that we lost Star Wars in the first place.
The Fox executives did complain to George about kid Anakin in episode I. According to George they wanted Darth Vader killing Jedi from the first movie. They knew a film, or films based on a line in the original would be an easy sell. This is the kind of mentality Disney is doing. Just reference something, don't tell a story or have any exposition or world building.
Meanwhile George Lucas is the real Creator
That’s not what the Disney movies are like. The problem with Episode isn’t because Anakin isn’t killing jedis. It’s that Anakin being a kid doesn’t completely work. People were okay with Anakin not being Vader. I just wish the story was executed better.
@@MrShakespearefan , that's exactly what the Disney movies are like. They based an entire movie on the roll up to Star Wars. Rebel Spies managed to steal stolen plans.
@@MrShakespearefanHow does Anakin being a kid not completely work? How doesn't it work? The whole point of him being a kid is that it's supposed to heighten the tragedy of his and the Galaxy's downfall......how this wide eyed innocent young boy became the most feared monster of the galaxy. You can't just say something didn't work without explaining WHY it didn't work.
And you say you wish the story was better........HOW? How should the story have gone? What would it need to be better?
@ I don’t know. I’m not a screenwriter. And it’s subjective. For some, The Phantom Menace is great. I just think Lucas could’ve fine tuned his script in some areas.
The fact that this man wants a relationship with obi wan who is 25 and padme who is 14 in episode 1. Why, they are 11 years apart in episode 1. Padme mind you is below the age of 18. Say what you want with anakin and padme’s relationship but at least they were 5 years apart in the prequel trilogy and not 11 years apart. This video rewrite of episode 1 is so messy then the original episode 1.
@@nightwing2032 Yes, 11 yrs is too much. I would’ve liked a Padme / Obi Wan relationship if say they were 23 and 18. I think if any change to be made in Episode 1 it would be to simplify the entire story. Then add details in the Episode 2. I think even in rewatching over and over it’s a complicated story.
The most charitable interpretation is that this guy forgot that Natalie Portman was only 16 when TPM came out. For some reason, everyone imagines adult Natalie Portman being in movie, even though she still looks like a high school student when standing next to Obi-wan and Qui-gon.
@nightwing2032 @MarthaMyDear6 @Abcdefg-tf7cu That's why I'm not bothered by the Ahsoka x Anakin ship, because much like how Padme was 5 years older than Anakin, Anakin is 5 years older than Ahsoka. Furthermore, and although I agree with you, Han is 10 years older than Leia and their relationship is fine and dandy.

I’m pretty sure that 20th Century Fox (not “sTuDiOs”) wouldn’t have been able to say anything about the script because A New Hope was the only Star Wars movie they funded entirely themselves and Lucasfilm handled the rest of the saga. And Fox only controlled the distribution rights until Disney bought Lucasfilm.
Belated Media's video is 12 Years old, the prequel hate was still very strong back then, plenty of Tom, Dicks and Harry's thought they could do a better job with writing it. I remember watching this on an older youtube account, honestly the rewrite is worse than I remember, it's not even the rewrite I was initially thinking of, I've heard a few over the years.
I'm not a huge fan of the prequels, but without them I don't think we would have gotten some other great Star Wars stories, like Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
The prequel is still hated a lot unfortunately and all the pt haters think they can do a better job than george
@@slaviclad9705 I think George Lucas's vision/story could have been executed better. It's nowhere near the worst film I've seen. And I'm not someone that goes out of their way to watch bad films and laugh at them either. I think one of the worst things I ever watched was Manos the Hands of Fate. Such a nothing burger of a film, that is infamous for all the right reasons. Not worth the time to watch, the kind of film to kill a friendship XD.
Pretty sure the same people that think the Plinkett review was the pinnacle of Star Wars reviews are the same people that unironically think the Rick & Morty meme.
@@TheKiltedGerman Those Plinkett reviews can still be entertaining to watch or listen to. I mean they do have some dumb stuff too, like the line about black people not liking Star Wars all that much. Even Linkara pointed out that was a bad take, which I think happened before everyone kept poking fun at him for his awful Lightbringer comic.
They thought Larry Kasdan without George would be absolutely brilliant and unfettered by yes men.
Where are they now after Force Awakens and Solo. Nobody thinks that noise now.
Love seeing this wildly mid rewrite being called out. Never understood how people thought this was a good rewrite, it was basically just attempted catering to complainers without making sense
Keeping Anakin as a child in episode 1 makes sense because of his hope, willingness to help Qui Gon, attachment to his mother, and curiosity of the Galaxy and thinking it's better than Tatooine but if you make him a teen then subtract the curiosity, hope, and willingness since by then he will think that being a slave is everything and he'll think Qui Gon will just take him to slavery but a different kind so making Anakin a teen isn't as good a idea as the rewriter says
Indeed. I think making him a teen or young adult in contrast to his curiosity is basically the rewriter saying silently he doesnt like kid Vader and is just making another Luke. Even Rey who is a Luke reboot kinda just escaped Jakku only because she was curious about the whole resistance thing like a teen is to concerts, yet she didn’t want to get involved and wanted to go back to meet her family.
So, 1 wanted to go after loss
2 wanted to go but with the cost of loss
And 3 wanted to avoid or escape inevitable loss.
All three have different agencies.
and it's interesting to see Anakin and Padme to see where Luke and Leia got their attitudes and spirit. Their sense of justice. and how much like Luke, Anakin was in the beginning.
My issue with him being a child is the romance with Padme in the later movies. I remember when I first watched the prequel trilogy and didn't know they would be an item. I frankly felt kind of disgusted when they hooked up in Episode 2 because she was so much older than him on Episode 1.
@@pkj2148 I mean, Padme is only 5 years older than Anakin. That's why I'm not bothered by the Anakin x Ahsoka ship so many are bothered by, because Anakin is only 5 years older than Ahsoka. In addition, Han is 10 years older than Leia, and that's fine. Furthermore, given that both Padme and Han weren't framed as being as creepy as Leonardo DiCaprio(the actor who almost got to play Anakin in AOTC) marrying a barely legal individual whenever one is available in both AOTC and the OT respectively, along with the fact that Humans originally had longer lifespans in the PT and EU, it's clear their in-universe standards are different to our own.
@@FMK03 She might be only 5 years older, but she looks much older, which makes sense. There is a clear difference in mental and physical maturity between a 9 and 14 year-old. One looks like barely older than a toddler while the other is already going through puberty. It also didn't help that I thought Padme was 18 when I watched the movie.
For Han and Leia, it isn't an issue given they are both adults and Han doesn't look that much older. I never even knew he was 10 years older. For Anakin and Padme, the age difference looks just too large that I just couldn't get over it.
"Before we have time to think about it, we move onto the next scene" kinda reminds me of the rise of skywalker! That video did not age well
George Lucas OWNED Star Wars at the time.
If Fox didn't want to do it the way he wanted, he would just release it through another studio or independently. Lucas financed Episodes 1 -3 and 5 and 6 ON HIS OWN MONEY.
Morons.
I'm glad you pointed that out because that bugged the shit out of me 😂. Why would a Fox executive rewrite the Star Wars Prequels when they were just the distributor......they didn't own the rights to it?
Also why would a FOX EXECUTIVE rewrite anything? What they would most likely do is give some notes and ideas but full rewrites? They would just bring in writers to do rewrites.....they wouldn't actually rewrite the films themselves. Because they are executives.......not writers.
I swear a lot of the complaints about Lucas are from people who have no fucking idea about how the film industry works, how filmmaking works and how storytelling works.
This guy relies WAY too much on Hollywood tropes.
If Belated Medias idea for the Phantom Menace was what the Phantom Menace was, then people would've been hating it MUCH More 😂...
I'm sick of "episode 1 sucks there's no main character" neither did marvels avengers and that's never mentioned
101 of writing love stories is the love interest must not have more chemistry with other characters than with the love interested. Making Padmé attracted to Obi Wan would ruin her later relationship with Anakin.
This guy really makes you think that prequel haters are just stupid. Because why does he think it's bad to split up our heroes, it seems like he can't follow more than a single thread at a time.
Tbh most of prequel hate seems to be about complexity and i just don't get it. In fact it's worrying that some people just can't follow the narrative.
The people rewriting the prequels don’t know what makes Star Wars Star Wars. While George may not be the best at writing dialogue, the six films are consistent with how the characters talk and them talking the way they do is very intentional. Meanwhile, these people who try to rewrite the Prequels have worse writing than whatever George wrote and they can’t see how bad their ideas truly are.
Anakin should have been older because the age gap between him and Padme was creepy
They do realise that Obi Wan is 25 and Padme is 14 in Episode 1 right? 🤮
Are you going to do Banditincorporated Star Wars prequels rewrite he does a complete overhaul it’s totally different story and that’s my favorite fan fix of them all.
It's amazing how much this guy doesn't understand the prequels at all as he tries to rewrite them. He says the prequels could've felt familiar not just through returning characters but through "theming and parallels," then goes on to suggest changes that are just variations on the shared themes & parallels with the OT that are ALREADY IN THE PREQUELS!
For years I've seen prequel haters spout nonsense that makes it clear they didn't even pay attention to the movies in the first place. Prequel hate never deserved to get popular because it was always baseless.
The only reason I would have written anakin to be older is so the relationship with padme isn't as messed up
"Empire at War" tutorial. So nostalgic!
A lot of people complain that Anakin's place of birth should not be Tatooine. Because of course Darth Vader would easily find Luke.
Even though clearly Anakin hated that place
The worst part of this was him completely ignoring the droid control ship plot line. He pretends that the Gungans and the Naboo army could beat the droids in a direct confrontation when we know that isn't true.
I'm so sick of millennial writers
I enjoyed these well enough back in the day, but when I got to Episode 3 and he had the relationship between Anakin and Padme a surprise reveal for ROTS I rolled my eyes.
UA-cam script rewrites are always cringe. I have never seen an exception. It's fanfiction on steroids.
And Dave Filoni’s TCW is fantiction on the strongest type of steroids
@SolurVoludun No disagreement from me, man. That whole show is little more than a giant continuity error. The 2003 microseries somehow tells more real story and stays faithful to canon in two hours.
It took until the sequel trilogy for anyone to realize that the prequels were a great story, it's just that everything that isn't part of the main story sucks
The prequels were decent. Revenge Of The Sith is amazing and a 10/10.❤️🙏💯
The guy looks like if you combined the DNA of Sexplained, Game Dude, and Wil Weaton, with a little dash of Max Landis.
The Phantom Menance is my favorite Star Wars movie (yeah, I said it) and whenever I see someone trying to rewrite it (or any of the six films) all I see is red!
I admit, I'm curious. I'm by no means a prequel hater (and E1 was my first entry in the series actually), and while I certainly like the episode I generally like the others better (E3 is my personal favorite of the whole saga).
So that said, I want to hear you out on why it's your favorite. I've never seen anyone say that, so whatever you have to say will probably be new to me. And I'm down for something new to appreciate about it.
@GreatFox42 It's the movie that sets everything into motion. It's like seeing the set-up for a big chess game.
I love seeing Anakin as a small and innocent child, a far cry from the monster he eventually becomes.
Also, Duel of the Fates is the best lightsaber duel, hands down.
This Belated media in his rewrite turned a Star Wars film into Disney Star Wars trash.
The first rule of rewriting any work of media is that, at least for the most part, less is more. Minor tweaks and changes can make a huge difference, while changing too much can obliterate what good material is already there. The Prequels were flawed gems, and just needed a bit of polish to really be as great as they could've been.
If you want to know how I'd rewrite the Prequels: for Episode I, I'd age Anakin up just a bit to give Lucas access to a broader range of actors (or just so Hayden Christiansen can play Anakin across all three movies the way Natalie Portman did with Padme), and I'd swap the first and second acts, showing Anakin's induction into the Jedi, followed by the invasion of Naboo as his first assignment with Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. Not much else needs to be touched, and most issues that arise could be solved with minor tweaks and a cursory dialogue pass.
The following two films are easy. Just give them extra runtime and put material from the novelizations (most of which was in the early drafts of the scripts and cut for time) on screen directly, seeing as Episodes II and III both had excellent novelizations that enriched and enhanced the story to a huge degree.
Done. I didn't need three, twenty-minute-long videos to rewrite the Prequels. Just a couple of paragraphs to sum up my proposed changes. Is it the best way to rewrite them? Maybe, maybe not. But so many of these rewrite videos completely lose the core of the story and eject everything without thinking about how they can add context or tweak minor details to make things work better. They always end up a complete mess that mashes together a billion ideas the author thought would be cool, without any thought as to how it would function as a cohesive whole, and thus the rewrite often sounds more like fanfiction than a serious proposal.
TL;DR: Less is more. You don't need to change everything to "fix" movies that could be greatly improved with a few strategic tweaks and added scenes for more context.
19:05 this is the point I had to leave the video lmao
Wha
That guy who talking stupid have no good creative idea.
💯Exactly
The Pakman phenotype does not inspire confidence
At 4:14 I want to point out that the focus is not Luke and not Anakin or Vader in the entire series. Yes, it's not. It's about the Skywalker family as a whole which includes Anakin, Padme, Luke and Leia and this has been crystal clear even in the original trilogy. I'd say the central focus is more on Luke and Anakin / Vader but overall the story has ALWAYS been about the story of this family. That's the whole point of star wars episode 1-6. Anakin is an innocent boy who has several tragedies that lead him to question his faith. He falls in love and then later that love along with his trauma leads him to fall from grace. Then his son fills his footsteps once again as the hopeful hero but he learns from his father's fall from grace and they both overcome the face of evil, beating the big bad as father and son and redeeming the family's legacy. Anakin and the family are redeemed in the end. Even if the prequels never happened, through dialog in the OT it's clear that Anakin was once a hero that fell from grace and turned to the darkside and that Luke redeems his father and makes him the hero he once was again. Both overcome their personal demons and the demons of the family as a whole. They overcome their dark past to beat the true evil and redeem themselves in the eyes of the galaxy / force. THAT'S LITTERALLY THE FOCUS! The fact that people don't understand that is baffling (not directed at you because you seem to fully get this but the rewrite guy doesn't). Star wars is a family drama; A Shakespearean tragedy about this family that has a dark past and must overcome their collective trauma as a family to redeem their legacy. The other characters like Obi Wan, Qui Gon, Yoda and the crew in the OT are supposed to add to the narrative that this family is surrounded by trauma and that they must overcome it head on to fix the wrongs that tarnish the family's legacy. They must correct their path or they are all doomed like Vader before Luke turns him back to the light.
I’ve always liked Jar Jar as a character and found him funny. I’m not saying people need to agree with me on that, but regardless of how you feel about him, he was an important character. And, I’ve never understood why so many of his haters claim he served no purpose.
Funny enough even the Sequel Fans are not a huge fan of this rewrite so well done Belated Media you ended up pleasing no one.
This clown trying to "re write" one of the best movies makes me cringe. He has no business in story writing 😂
9:15 in this guy's defense, I also think that aging up Anakin would have been a better idea, but mainly so Hayden Christensen could play the role for all three films, improving its continuity.
It's hilarious how he addresses George directly by name and explains writing to him.
Another thing this guy missed talking about the whole keeping darth maul alive is that each of thr prequel villains is an aspect of darth vader
One of the most unnecessary changes he had was with Palpatine.
There was absolutely _zero_ reason to suggest changing Palpatine’s position, since - as it is - it makes perfect sense.
I don't understand why Palestine isn't made Chancellor until Ep. 3 in his version. That is a MAJOR reason he gets away with as much as he does.
This guy, Belated Media is a textbook definition of a Disney Star Wars writer. His mannerisms and his shallow understanding of what makes a good plot in a story is so real like a physical object that you could crash a car into it.
This guy is making Obi-wan into AotC Anakin. And he probably hates AotC Anakin.
I hold bantha fodder in higher regard than this guy's rewrite
Personally I'd like an Anakin story where he brings balance by rejecting the jedi and Sith to be with his wife and kids.
As a writer myself, even My large interconnected web of a story doesn't have this many plot holes, because I rewrote and patched up those holes. (I'm an amateur writer, You see) This guy somehow, with a relatively small story, has His characters jump from place to place, ignoring how they get from point A to point B. Have them take a ship or something, Y'know, the things star wars is arguably known for due to the dogfights? Even I make sure to have the characters walk, or use some form of transportation. Having characters teleport around without any reason as to why just doesn't make sense, It ruins the cohesion of the story, Too.
In Belated Media’s meager defense, this was written 11 years ago.
And it’s because of people like him why “Luke” drank green titty milk and Anakin was given a Mary Sue Padawan
Does that make much of a difference for how hackneyed and riddled with tropes this rewrite is?
There's another prequel hater that did one of these. His is far worse.
Literally in order for darth maul to stay alive throughout the prequel trilogy, you need to get rid of duku being a jedi and entirely get rid of grievous. You would need maul obsessed with improving himself to the point of making himself a cyborg like grievous and you either have to kill him off in the third movie. So what's the point in his character if he needs to die anyway

I don't really care about anakin being a kid because of the kid vader thing, but i would still make him older because he's such a fundamentally different person by the time we see him in attack of the clones. can you think of anybody who's the same person at all when they're in their late 20s compared to when they were an 8 year old?
I think the reason for a bunch of prequel rewrites wanting an older Anakin is to help with the Padme romance. Having Padme and Anakin be the same age can allow for more romantic scenes and for it to feel less weird to them. I can see having Anakin be 12-13 and the story staying the same. That’s still a kid
9:50 I feel it’s more 3P0 being repaired and not genuinely designed. He clearly didn’t fully design the thing
21:30 This also screws up Obi Wan’s position as a Jedi hard
Having Maul die works for the story and world far more, it brings intrigue and mystery.
Something that newer fans don’t seem to enjoy at all, they need everything explained.

Maybe I'd leave out Qui-Gon entirely. I love Liam Neeson as an actor, but having Yoda train Obi-Wan could have been shown early on. Not a disservice at all to the original films, only it might derail thousands of books/spinoffs that were needed to be commercially viable.
Obi-Wan is meditating on Dagobah to keep rocks from falling, while deflecting a stone being flung at him with the force. He hears a cry in distress, and goes to investigate a conflict where he meets Anakin.

Originally George was going to make Anakin. I agree he should have been a bit older, because than the relationship between him and Padme may have been less creepy.
Other than that, I think this guy got his idea how to write from Terrible Writing Advice. The love triangles are a very common trope with him.
Also, most of this, this guy sounds like he's just re-explaining in the original movie and not really making anything new. It's another common thing that happens with bad fanfiction writers. in the attempt to make a whole new and better fanfiction, they basically refollow what's already been done, because they lack the imagination and originality to make anything new themselves. And it's fine if he want to do a fanfiction, but don't post is like 'what George Lucas did sucks. I can make it much better' and then do the same damn thing.
The relationship between Padme and Anakin seems creepier than it is because we all think of Natalie Portman as the adult that she currently is, while we only know Jake Lloyd as a child actor. She was still in high school when Phantom Menace came out. The fact that she had hit a growth spurt while child Anakin's actor hadn't also makes the age Gao between them seem bigger than it really is.
This guys rewrite is extremely cringe.
Assuming I owned the star wars IP and had a large sum of money, Id just pay George handsomely to personally oversee the clone wars rather than Dave Filoni. Really the issue was the clone wars didnt live up to its full potential, not the prequel movies.
I’d argue the Clone Wars was the prequels perfected but that’s just me
@@autobotproductions1244 Yeah no
Also I don’t think belated understands the irony of try e most evil person in the Star Wars universe the one who rose to power, was a senator. A politician if you will
