Your Local Trickster God

Additionally, the birth scene in RotS when Padmé names the second baby Leia becomes a kick in the teeth for first time viewers. If you watch OT then PT, you already have that information. If you watch PT then OT you don't even know those characters yet. This way it becomes a reveal that follows up on Yoda's "there is another" line and Leia being able to sense Luke with the Force in ESB. It works as well as any version of that reveal possibly could given the framework.

I have my issues with TPM, but if you cut it, you lose a bunch of stuff.

You lose getting to see what Obi-Wan was like as a student.

You lose the scene where Anakin gives Padmé the jappor snippet, which comes back in RotS.

You lose the context that Anakin used to be a sweet kid, and the scene where Shmi tells Qui-Gon that he doesn't know greed! That's an important scene for Anakin's character!

Removing Qui-Gon makes a couple moments in AotC and RotS make no sense.

Oh huh! I hadn't realized I didn't post this one here on Tumblr! I finished this study in early March and have plans to have it be one of 3 pieces to go together 🙂‍↕️
