what if the PT came first?

what if, in 1977, qui gon and obi wan went to naboo and were confronted by darth maul. what if that didn't happen. What do you think star wars would be like if the PT came first. what would change?

I would murder GL in his sleep.

I watched the PT first, I have a whole different perspective on the whole saga together...dunno if that is good or bad.

you wouldn't know there is an OT until 1999.

It would be way different. The PT duels would suck, bad. The Clone Wars would be a bunch of hippies and cardboard box AT-TE's fighting. Jar Jar would be some bum in a rubber suit. Yoda would be a puppet on a string being thrown around at high speeds. Luke and Vader would have the most rockinest duel ever in ROTJ.

1. jar jar IS a bum in a rubber suit

Yeah, a Carribean bum at that.

nicely put ianus.

If the PT came first I would think Star Wars sucks. Then the OT would come out(with better fight scenes) and I would be totally blown away.

Now when I think about it...the PT would come out before I was born if we are running this scenario.

I already made a thread on this ages ago

The first half of TPM woukld be entirely different, as it would have to explain the nature of Jedi, Lightsabres and the Force, which was originally done in ANH.

The fact that TPM doesn't explain the Force, yet has people using these powers, is actually the biggest problem that stops an SW virgin watching them 1-6. It's something we don't actually think about as fans but an important point; the PT was made with the fact the OT existed already in mind.

All the cool aliens would just be humans and so not to spoil TESB ending, erm, maybe Ani had a brother?

Exactly. And that is why the PT has been rushed.
And why it could have been much better.
