It doesn't matter if the reimagined is good or not, it stilll can be done. If people want to tackle a new project, let them.

Also, aside from the acting, I don't find much other negatives in Star Wars 1-3.

mediclorians
jar jar
overly done cgi giving the world a pristine feeling instead of being gritty
romance between padme and anakin was atrocious
yoda fighting with a lightsabre was blasphemy

Jar jar wasa comic relief just like c3po, just like r2d2, just like ewoks, and just like all other droids and "creatures." The amount of hate for this character is unjust. With that said, no he isn't the most loving character as the comic relief is slightly more annoying than funny.

The special effects for 1-3 were great...especially for this time. Don't even begin to think that the movie Wild have the same feel as 4-6 being made 20 years later.

Romance.....had a right to be there, but I would agree that the acting was poor. The relationship did show parts of anakin's turn to the darkside.



......anything else?

I think in those cases you are better off just making a new film based on similar concepts. Like how Spirited Away is basicly Alice In Wonderland 2.0, but aimed at a different generation and demographic.

there's a difference in things that need to be done and things that can be done.

Jarjar may have been intended to be comic relief, but it was a failure. Instead of being comical, it was annoying. Thus, he was a negative.



The people who were in charge of the special effects were great at their job. They were assigned was to make Lucas' vision. Through no fault of their own, it just happened that Lucas' vision for the worlds made for a bad movie.



You can't just chalk it up to the movie being newer. Ep 7 was new but did not look bad.



The acting was bad, but it wasn't the only thing. The dialogue written in the script was also poor. And it wasn't given enough screen time. Everything about it was bad aside from Natalie Portman being hot and especially when she was chained up in the arena and got her shirt ripped .. yummy



It was so forced it had 10% of the effect it should have. If done well, it could have actually made us care about the characters. Instead, the failure to develop a relationship that felt meaningful was a negative for the movie.


The 5 things i originally listed ofc

The romance between Anakin and Padme was awkward as fuck. Not only because of the bad acting, but also because of the scripting as Kayeto says. Anakin looked like some creepy obsessive stalker, Padme loved him for no apparent reason and it's like the friendship big-sis bond she had with him in Episode 1 just magically transitioned to romantic love in the second episode, and the dialogue was absolutely terrible and cringy.

I guess I wouldn't be opposed to that really. I'd say that's kinda what I meant when I made this thread, but perhaps didn't explain myself clearly.

Take A Christmas Carol for example. The remake could feature a main character who, through supernatural means, is shown what his life could have been like had he lived it differently. At the end, he has a renewed perspective and acts differently. All the specifics about the names of the ghosts and the life experiences could be completely different and more attuned to our culture. They could be about his relationship with his cell phone, his parents or poor eating habits. Anything that the younger generation can identify with would work.

Yeah, that idea sounds right to me; I'd agree to that.

Like 'Family Man'?...
