eople complain about Rey magically and inexplicably figuring out complex mysteries and intricacies of the Force with no training whatsoever, but there's a huge difference between a 16 year-old mimicking the same Force abilities that her opponent is using (Kylo Ren's Vulcan Mind Meld) and a 10 year-old (at most - as I said, he looks like he should be seven or eight given Darth Vader's height and low voice) randomly single-handedly winning an insanely one-sided space battle by accident.

How about that apparently Anakin is so much stronger in the force at age 8 when he does all this stuff then at any other time in his life. He's able to win a battle one-handed as a kid but can't even shoot an X-Wing flying in a straight line when he's a dark lord of the Sith.

Christ, he's 8 years old, how can he even reach the controls?!?

I feel like I'm sat in the launderette.


Edit: I can't believe no-one's made that gif yet.

I once again found myself watching Revenge of The Sith today and I wanted to pitch this. I have no movie making experience what so ever so I dont know if this can be done or not. Since the prequels have a heavy use of CGI and obviously older CGI looks less refined because of the limits at the time of its use (which becomes less and less as time goes on due to technological advancement.) would it be possible for Disney to go back into the original prequel movie files and add more in depth rendering to the backgrounds etc to bring the CGI up to date but not actually change the movie or add anything?

Considering the vast majority of the scenes shot for the prequels would have been shot in front of a green screen, and that raw footage would likely still be in the archives, Disney could do pretty much anything with it if they desired.

If only that were the case with the original trilogy. I'd love a cleaned up but otherwise unaltered original cinematic release version of the first three Star Wars films.

I wouldn't be opposed to touching up the CGI in the prequels, though it's unlikely to happen due to the time and cost commitment.

Also as I've mentioned before it wouldn't update nearly as much as you'd think as there was a lot of model and miniature work, especially for backgrounds or extensions of sets that obviously can't be enhanced any more than it already is.

If anything though I'd rather they touch up the CGI on the SE's some more as that's the CGI that's the most dated by far. I feel a lot of the prequel CGI holds up pretty well still actually, especially in ROTS.

It would be possible but if they were going to, I'd far prefer they redid the prequels entirely, and better.

The slightly squiffy CGI was never the big problem with them.
