[QUOTE="Empress, post: 2096764, member: 29753"] But that's the point, isn't it? Why doesn't he make a big special effects art movie extravaganza. He'd be the one director who could do it. Why not make a Star Wars movie about what it means to be a hero, what it means to fail as a hero, and whether failure may be something a hero should be prepared to do in order to succeed? Give us Anakin as a young Jedi blossoming into a hero in part 1 (destroying the trade ship on purpose). Then have him be under pressure of delivering more and more acts of greatness - he's the Chosen One, after all, and maybe the strongest Jedi that ever lived - and confide in Padme. Let him be tired, subdued by his masters's expectations. And the only way to fulfill their expectations, the only way to become the greatest Jedi, the only way to make his dead mother proud, is to learn powers other Jedi are afraid of. To learn the powers of the Dark Side. Anakin is the Chosen One. He might be able to control its corrupting influence. He might be able to unite the Dark Side and the Light side. That is what he was chosen to do. And then he fails. I would have wanted Lucas to do something equally aspiring. I don't particularly dislike the movies he made, I'm just pining for what could have been. [/QUOTE]
