If Peter Jackson directed the 'Star Wars' prequel trilogy...

[UNCjigga]

Yeah yeah this has probably been discussed to death but the search turned up nothing, so...

IF Peter Jackson directed the prequels, would he have done a better job? I know this is pure fantasy since he was already busy directing LOTR, but think about it.

- Would he have tried to make all 3 movies at once?
- Would 90% of the actors have UK-derived accents? (like the original trilogy!)
- Would he have used relatively unknown actors with actual acting talent? (buh bye Hayden)
- Would we still have Natalie Portman?
- Would WETA software be used to create epic space battle scenes the likes of which have never been seen before?
- Would the movies still be colorized to look like a cartoon?
- Would the entire trilogy be 9 hours long in 'Extended Edition'?
- Would Jar Jar Binks have been as adorable as Gollum?
- Would Black Gandalf still mock the crowd and get made fun of on 'Triumph'?
- Would the battle droids and Boba Fetts still be identical clones, or would they be individualized like the orcs?
- Would we feel good about spending our money to see it?
- Would we still have uber mass merchandising with 1000s of products?
- Would Lucas have time to put the ORIGINAL original trilogy on DVD?

Whaddya think?

I wish he WOULD have, because the story isn't all written out detail by detail as LOTR was, so he couldn't fvck it up as bad.

No, I think the Prequel Trilogy is fine.

What if Spielburg directed "Dude, Where's my Car?"

What if Mel Gibson directed Girls Gone Wild?

he would have shot all of them at once, finished them off and released them year after year. Waiting game for star wars makes the movies like the beatles album which are rare and not released as much which makes them valuable.

1. Aliens stole the car
2. Dudes build a spaceship to track the aliens
3. Dudes, you're gonna need a bigger ship.
4. CGI. Pyrotechnics. More CGI.
5. "Snake Surprise!"
6. The car was never lost, it just went back to the future.
7. There is nothing remotely sexy about this movie.

You forgot to replace some guns with walkie talkies.

There'd be just as many geeks bitching about it as there are now.

I hated Gollum, I hated Jar-Jar Binks.

Jar Jar Binks is hateful, but what have you got against Gollum?

Because when I was watching the second LOTR Peter Jackson had Gollum made 'funny noises' as comic relief. Of course every kid in the theater wouldn't stop laughing for several minutes each time he did it.

Ruined the movie for me and that was a 9 O'Clock show.

What I would like to see is a Star Wars movie directed by James Cameron.
