View Full Version : If you were George Lucas....

I was looking around on another forum today (I know:eek: ) and came across a nice discussion people were having.
Basically, it is this:
Where do you think Ep3 will end?
In other words, at the start of Ep4, Vader is the Vader we all know and love. The Empire is very powerful.
Keeping that in mind, where do you think 3 will leave off?
Should we see anakin as the Vader we know and end on an obviously very dark note, or have Anakin ending up in a state similar to luke at the end of Empire and just be left to speculate about the final transition?
discuss...............
I would think that I would have to show:
1) The empire have won. They are don't have to show too much just make it plain enough that their strength in IV is going to happen.
2) That Anakin has gone to the dark side in big way.
3) Explain the disfigurement of Darth.
4) At least start to show that the Jedi are defeated and scattered. Not necessarily covered in 1
Sounds like a happy end to III
I reckon, it should end with a big fight - Anakin against someone... he shouldn't really be too sure if he wants to go to the Darkside before the climax, and he ends up getting injured and gets a disfigured face and can't breath properly and it finishes on him breathing funny, half dead.
And then Episode IV.
I just can't wait to see it!!! :clap:

I'll put some of this in spoiler tags in case some people haven't seen Star Wars...
i think it should end as jamesking420 said. If we see Anakin become Vader then it will be obvious that Obi-Wan's story about Luke's father dying is nonsense
Ending it on a 'maybe' would make the whole saga flow more as one piece... which is what he's said he wants to do
But I think he'll show the transformation, cos he's a EDIT!

How's about this:
Padme/Amidala dies giving birth to twins Luke and Leia. Anakin is not there when it happens, due to a Jedi mission. He is oblivious to the second child his wife was carrying. Enraged, he blames the Jedi - and Obi-Wan in particular. Anakin and Obi-Wan face off on the side of a volcano, in a duel to end all duels. Obi-Wan is nearly beaten, but uses Anakin's arrogance to his advantage and manages to cut off his (already mechanised) hand when his student least expects it. Stunned, Anakin backs away from Obi-Wan in a scene straight out of Empire. Rather than return to the Jedi order disgraced, he sacrifices himself by diving into the volcano. Believing him dead, Obi-Wan takes Anakin's lightsaber and leaves. Meanwhile, the remaining Jedi (probably Mace Windu, Yoda and a few dozen others - the best of the best) are lured into a trap on Coruscant by the newly formed Empire. Obi-Wan returns to Coruscant just in time to save Yoda - wounded, Yoda tells Obi-Wan of the Empire's treachery. Obi-Wan hastily relates the battle with Anakin to him. Yoda despairs, as Palpatine may well find out that Padme gave birth - the Empire will surely come for her off-spring. Their last hope would be to hide Luke and Leia, to buy them some time, until the new age of the Jedi can begin. Bail Organa, who is secretly in alliance with the Rebellion against the Empire, agrees to take Leia into his royal family. Under his protection, the baby might go unnoticed by the Emperor. Luke will go with Obi-Wan to Tatooine, which Obi-Wan remembers is not controlled by the Empire. There the baby will stay with the Lars family - Owen Lars being Anakin's step-brother by marriage, so they are in effect Luke's Uncle and Aunt. Yoda also flees Coruscant before more troops arrive, telling Obi-Wan that he will contact him in many years. Until then, Obi-Wan too must lie-low, so he decides to stay on Tatooine, close to Luke so that he can keep an eye on things. As the three go their seperate ways, we cut back to the volcano in which Anakin's body rests. Rather than falling into the molten lava, his clothing snagged on a ledge just inside the rim. As we watch, several probe droids descend and carry him out, onto a familiar looking Imperial Shuttle. It returns to the Super Star Destroyer where Palpatine awaits, overseeing the construction of hundreds of TIE Fighters by his Clone army. Anakin is revived and brought to kneel before him, on a life-support machine and wrapped in a long black cloak. His hair has been singed off, and his face is badly burned. In his mouth is a respiration-support device, and he has a new mechanical hand covered by a black glove. Palpatine tells him he will reward him for his loyalty, by helping him to hunt down and destroy the remaining Jedi. Placing a new lightsaber with a crimson blade in Anakin's new hand, his final words are: "You may rise, my young apprentice...Darth Vader".
EPILOGUE: Cut to a sandstorm on Tatooine, outside the Lars Homestead. Obi-Wan has arrived safely and has handed baby Luke over to Owen and Beru, who look worried as hell but are prepared to help (their experiences with the Jedi have not been too good). Thanking the couple and reassuring them he will never be far away, Obi-Wan leans over the sleeping baby and kisses his forehead. He whispers gently "May the Force be with you", hesitates for a moment, then adds "...always". And with that, he sweeps through the door and out into the howling winds, engulfed by the sand.
The End
OK, so I'm very bored and have an over-active imagination. What do you guys think?

It should end by showing where Anakin got his horrific scars...Jabba sat on him, and then ate Amidala (which explains her disappearance).
We see how C3-PO and R2-D2 lost their memory by showing how they had a threesome with a dirty 'Gonk' droid prostitute from whom they subsequently caught a "virus".

Oh my God, SithLordSi, you have almost the EXACT SAME idea as I have had for a while! Isn't that weird? God.
Anyway.
I have this idea that Episode 3's penultimate scene should be Obi-Wan visiting the Lars homestead. Luke is a baby and they have started looking after him. Owen is quite unfriendly to Obi-Wan, and asks him not to come back. Beru is friendlier, kind of apologising for Owen's gruff attitude. Obi-Wan kneels over the baby, and gives Luke his blessing. He then stands up to leave.
"I shan't be far away" he says to Owen and Beru, "You can find me near the Dune Sea if you ever need me"
"Obi-Wan...", says Beru.
"Just Ben, now" he says.
Cut to the last scene. Aboard an Imperial ship. Palpatine is stood on the control deck, looking into space. The door behind him opens, and Darth Vader walks in. Vader is wearing a smaller and less-complete version of his bio-mechanical suit, but it is similar enough for us to know this is now Vader. Palpatine looks at Vader's new appearance and gives an evil chucle, beckoning him to the viewport. Camera pulls out from the viewport as they stand together and look out, and we see they are on the bridge of a Star Destroyer... camera continues to pull out and the Star Destroyer gets smaller. As the shot widens, we see more Destroyers, then more, and more, until the shot is wide enough to reveal a massive fleet of Star Destroyers, with huge squadrons of TIE fighters passing between them. Music swells into the loudest and boldest rendition of the Imperial Death March.
The End.
(And I'm sure I'll be disappointed with the final product George Lucas makes).

Cool Squeaky, great minds think alike, eh? I think the Tatooine bit should come last, because the movie needs to end on the beginning of Luke's journey, and the end of Obi-Wan's. Anakin's story is over by the end of Episode III, and doesn't pick up again until halfway through Episode V. He has become the bad-guy in Episode III, and there is a new good-guy - Luke. So it makes sense to end on Luke, I think. Also, it might be more dramatic to end on a soft note, considering how dark the film will be. Knowing what is to come for the young 'un may prove more heartbreaking than the obvious 'Empire conquereth all' ending which many will expect. Why go out on a bang when there are three more episodes to continue the saga? Also, if not for any of the above reasons, it should end on the good guys, as all of the Episodes do (including Episode II, from what I hear).
Still, neat idea. Maybe Lucas should be hiring us to write the script for Episode III!

James Earl jones is already contracted for 3 lines of dialogue for ep 3 meaning Darth Vader def makes an appearance.

SithLordSi - sorry to disagree m8, but if you have read any of the later books there is clear evidence that Amidala/Padme survives. In the book 'Children of the Jedi' this is taken up by Luke searching for his mother and she is apparently still alive...
Guess this means she survives episode 3????
SithLordSi
05-03-2002, 12:10
Samba123 - point taken, but this doesn't mean she won't die in Episode III. Lucas has apparently already contradicted the later books, as I can only assume they are not 'canon' to him. Personally, I wouldn't like to see her character left dangling at the end of Episode III - I mean, she's not touched on at all in the original trilogy, so her story needs to have finality in Episode III. Otherwise it would just sorta fizzle out, which would suck IMHO!

i thought the breathing sound was the machine and not anakin.
it needs to be a very dark film, i think we the audience need to feel sympathy for anakin going to the darkside, like it wasnt his choice.
like when i heard rumours of the kid from Wonder Years being Marilyn Manson(although not tue), i felt exactly that.
how can a geek like that transform into something so evil ?

One nice spoiler that I read somewhere was that at the end of episode 2:
Anakin is fighting Count Dooku (Chris Lee) with ObiWan and half way through he battle Anakin turns on ObiWan with his light saber and at another point in the battle Anakin gets his arm cut off ( remember Luke in the second movie of the original trilogy???) thus starts his mechanical transformation. So it looks like he is half way to becoming a machine by the end ep2.
As for Ep3, I can't see anyway that they can end this movie on a high note, what with:
1. Presumably Padme dies
2. All Jedi bar Yoda wiped out
3. The Emperor and his new Apprentice victorious
I think that I would like the last scene in the movie to be as SqueakyG mentioned with a shot pulling away from a ship with Palpatine and Vader about to take on the Galaxy.

Its Amidala that has the kids - Padme is her servant. The film (ep2) starts with an assasination attempt on Amidala but Padme gets it instead.

I am afraid that that is not quite correct, if you look at the official Star Wars site it explains that Padme IS Amidala. This is not considered a spoiler as it is on the official site here (http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/amidala/index.html)
and at the start of the MYSTERY trailer you will see the explosion of a ship where one of her decoys is killed in the assasination attempt at the start of the movie

I meant the decoy (usually referred to as Padme).

I must admit this is the ending I would have. I couldn't envisage any other ending having the same impact about what the Empire is about to do.

You're assuming that the kids are born at the end of Episode III...I think that they will either be born off-screen between II and III, or half way through III. I'll revise my prediction and say that Padme will not be dead at the end of III, but dying instead. Wounded? Broken heart? Or all of the above?

I'd love to see EPIII end with the climactic battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin. Show Obi-Wan leaving Anakin dying - perhaps unable to finish him off?
Then I'd show Obi-Wan broken and nursing his wounds after fleeing to Tatooine.....pull back the camera from Tatooine....credits....then after the credits.....black screen........sound of (Darth) breathing..........black screen resolves to show the back of Vader's helmet....who slowly turns round (accompanied by suitably menacing score from Williams - a variant on the imperial march perhaps?)....cue Vader.....'One day we shall meet again, Obi-Wan Kinobi'.

what i want to know is how you managed to edit your original post without the edit date being affected.I realise it seems unlikely, but that was indeed my original prediction. Although, to be quite honest, it was simply pieced together from all sorts of rumours and logical conclusions that have been floating around since the mid-80s! I guess the only bits I'm particularly proud of guessing are the ending scene (although I didn't predict that Lucas would shamelessly rip himself off with the final shot) and the manner of Padme's death (a broken heart...got lucky with that one, but I don't think one can overestimate Lucas's penchant for cheese).
As for implying I could do a better job than George Lucas himself...I'm sorry about that, because it really couldn't be further from the truth. I'm a huge fan of his work, and although I have some major problems with the Star Wars prequels, I have enjoyed them all regardless. I just found the ending of Revenge of the Sith to be the greatest let down of all, because it didn't offer anything original or shocking (apart from "NOOOOO!!" I guess). To me, it felt as though a fan had written it, which is why I found my original prediction so amusing.
