The original plans for the prequels

The prequel trilogy Star Wars He is already 25 years old. He Ep. I: The Phantom Menacewas released in theaters in 1999 and is now returning to theaters so fans can once again enjoy the origins of Anakin Skywalker. But this story is not exactly what George Lucas I had thought. Although many aspects of the films remained faithful to her original ideas, others have changed considerably since the 1980s, when she began thinking about them.

16 years had to pass since Return of the Jedi so that Luke premiered the first installment of its galactic saga. And in that period of time the scripts were rewritten again and again. It should be noted that, for example, the roads of Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi They were essentially the same. But there were several modifications in the path of both. The most striking is probably the way in which Skywalker is consumed by the Dark Side and turned into Darth Vader.

In the movies of Star Wars that came to the cinemas, Anakin is manipulated by Palpatine. And only when he perceives that the life of his beloved Padme is in danger, he agrees to turn to the Dark Side to try to save her. Everything concluded with the slaughter of the Jedi and the Padawans in Order 66. In the original plans of George Lucas, this was much more progressive. Mission after mission, the Jedi were dying when they turned their backs on Skywalker, who secretly murdered them, one by one. Far from being an impulsive and passionate young man, he appeared to be a cold and calculating criminal.

Padmé’s life

The other big change in the prequels Star Wars was the role of Padme in them. In the canon version, the senator Amidala was the secret lover of Anakin. In the discarded history of George Lucas, the Jedi rules about personal relationships did not prevent falling in love. Therefore, both were openly married and with her pregnant. A kind of love triangle was even suggested with Obi-Wan.

Furthermore, it was Padme and not Kenobi who discovered that Anakin He was the one who was killing the Jedi and who had turned to the Dark Side. Once he learned the painful truth, he went to Obi-Wan, because she thought that only her husband’s mentor could return him to the path of light. Finally, the Jedi hunted down his former apprentice, whom he fought and defeated, throwing him into a volcano. But later he discovered that Anakin was still alive, having been rescued by Palpatine and become the Darth Vader that we all know.

Thus, Obi-Wan tells to Padme, who has already given birth and has two children of around six months, who must get them to safety. In the future, given their potential in the Force, they can be of great help in correcting their father’s mistakes and chaos. The decision they make is that Obi-Wan It will be Luke to Tatooine. But he will not take care of him, since he is a fugitive from the Empire. That’s why he gives him up for adoption to his uncle. Owen and the aunt Beru. This is how it starts Star Wars: Ep. IV – A new hope.
