What Would I Do: Star Wars Franchise Part 1; Episode I: Jedi Knights

Listen, I love Star Wars. Empire Strikes Back is one of my favorite films ever, and the franchise is why I, for some strange reason, like Roman Numerals. But there are so many things that the franchise had done very, very, very wrong. Like the prequels. And just about everything relating to the prequels. Except for Ewan McGregor, because he doesn’t look like the spawn of Donald Trump for once. I want an expanded, damn near flawless Star Wars Universe, so here goes absolutely nothing.


STAR WARS: EPISODE I: JEDI KNIGHTS; Reference Release Date: 7/8/16

I want damn near everything to be different starting with the sequence of the films. Here’s a description:

“The first installment of the rebooted Star Wars in nearly upon us, with ‘STAR WARS: EPISODE I: JEDI KNIGHTS’! Go on a trek to fight the resurrected Sith, and expose a larger plot that spans across the universe!”

Basically, the Jedi Knights are the elite Jedi, answering only to the Jedi Praetors, which is the name for the Council in this, made up of guys like Mace Windu and headed up by Master Yoda. Basically, it’s the Jedi Council with a cooler name Instead of the stupid Jedi braid thing, rookies have to have done that cool, super badass crew cut, and they’re allowed to grow it out on top like the guys in Fury, and it’s optional for the Knights, and Obi-Wan has that style in this, as well.

Anyways, to the cast!

  • Sebastian Stan as Anakin Skywalker
  • Christian Bale as Obi-Wan Kenobi
  • Bryan Cranston as Qui Gon Jinn
  • Idris Elba as Darth Maul
  • Olivia Wilde as Padme Amidala
  • Djimon Hounsou as Mace Windu
  • Frank Oz as Yoda
  • Marisa Tomei as Shmi Skywalker

Well, for the plot, I want a kind of space thriller more than the space operas that Star Wars. Inception or Triple 9 combined with well, Star Wars.The main storyline of the film is Darth Maul being discovered the first Sith in a long time, as the Sith are thought to be long dead, and the three main Jedi trying to fight back the Sith forces. The romantic relationship between Anakin and Padme also isn’t creepy because they are characters that are in their 20s and about the same age. No one wanted to see an eight-year-old and a twelve-year-old either staring or trying to avoid eye contact at all costs. No one. The biggest changes from Phantom Menace is that Qui Gon and Darth Maul don’t die. I feel Obi-Wan is still growing as a Jedi, he’s still brash and hard-headed, and even though he’s a Jedi Knight, he needs a little help, and so does Anakin. Also, the prequel trilogy was always lacking a villain over the entire trilogy, and Darth Maul could easily fill this role, just like Darth Vader did for the original trilogy, and what Kylo Ren will most likely do for the sequel trilogy. I want to give Shmi and Mace a much larger role because I think they could be so much better as characters. Honestly, I don’t even think Samuel L. Jackson did a bad job, it’s just that the prequels didn’t utilize him enough. But anyway, by the end of the movie, Anakin has learned the Force and is at least able to fend Darth Maul from a group of Padawans long enough to get them to safety.

Okay, the ending of the movie would be after the final battle with Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Qui Gon back on Tatooine with Shmi after an epic battle that destroyed the main Jedi temple in ruins, and showed that the Jedi need to hide and strike from the shadows, at least for now. The actual end minute is the three making a plan for an attack on a holograph.


Alright, thank you for reading. I’m excited for this series, I pretty much have it all planned out by now. Okay, thanks for reading, and remember, have a nerdy day.
