An ideas on Episode III?

I was more refering to the constant "phase out" of the blades so that you could see the spinning pole underneath.

That's not really an argument though. If Lucas had made Ep1 then, ANH would have looked very different as well. Even the fight between OB1 and Vader would have been super spectacular, the two titans meeting again. Now, it was the first time we ever saw lightsabres so it was pretty cool.

Of course, Lucas needed a more spectacular fight in TPM than in the previous three. He imporved his ideas and there were more possibilities to create his vision which undoubtedly evolved in time.
I'm sure that if Lucas had had any ideas at all about Ep1 and made THAT in the 70's, ANH would have been a very different film.

If you read his earlier treatments and scripts of SW, there is nothing about the fall of Anakin. It's always been a simple story. Not the sage it is today. The entire PT was developed in the late nineties and evolved in time. it is still evolving. Before GL started on the SE's there was just a basic story on the PT: good boy grows to be a Jedi, falls to the Dark Side, friend and tutor OB1 can't change the course of Anakin's fate, Anakin's gets kids. That's it. The rest came after.

I once found an Episode III script suposedly written in 1983. I can't remember where I found it though. It was wierd cause they reffered to Queen Amidala by a totally different name. I've been wondering if it was a real script by Lucas just thinking of ideas or if it is a total fake.

If I find it again I will post it ASAP.

I doubt the name Amidala was even conceived by then. Or that there was a queen at all.

Sounds bogus to me.

Yup.

That script was called "Fall Of The Republic" and was made by a screenwriter who had nothing to do with Lucas. And he hardly got anything write as far as I can remember.

Total waste of time.

Funny, I remembered a tekst I found around 1997, BEFORE TPM, I know that it was TOTALY wrong, and there was even an EPII and III, but I can remember that the titles were as followed:

Rise of the Empire
ATTACK OF THE CLONES
Fall of the Jedi

YES: Attack of the clones, I knew it was wrong, everything there, and after I watched TPM I trew it away because NOTHING was correct, but I remembered the titles because I thought that after AOTC the other titles could still make it for EPII or III

Hmmm, I don't know... 😕

that is a surprise!! (that's my sarcasm)

Anyway, I can't find it on the web, so sorry.

Try harder, we would like to see that now.

The 1983 Fall Of The Republic script started when someone wrote the end duel between Anakin and Obi-Wan. Then because he liked it so much he wrote the rest. Quite a lot of SW urban legends started because of that script. It probably did more harm than good as people thought the prequels would be like that script.

But that's great. Imagine the surprise when they see the finished films. 😄

Is that script posted anywhere on the internet? If so where?

Nope.

Imagine the surprise when they see the finished films

Or the dissapointment because they aren't like they imagined.

Lucasfilm sued the guy, I think and it was definatley banned from the net.

How wude!

If it was banned how come I found it a month ago?

You tell me? Maybe it's a different script.

Wait a minute, it was 1983 that the script was written. How could it have been on the net then? I'm confused.🙁

I know the story was that the guy wrote Ep3 in 1983 after ROTJ was out, and Lucas sued him and got it banned from somewhere because the guy was saying that he worked for Lucas and the script was real.
