There are many elements of this movie that I wish were rewritten. While the turn of Anakin to the dark side was a worthy outcome, I think Obi-Wan should have been more reticent about spying on General Grievous. I also believe that Darth Vader should have avoided using the Death Star as a tool to achieve his goals. These are all issues that have plagued me since I first saw the movie. But, how would you have rewritten these events?

Anakin’s turn to the dark side

The movie had several problems, including Anakin’s turn to the dark side. The movie fails to properly portray Anakin’s turn to the dark side. It fails to show his full conversion and also fails to prove that he was able to save Padme. The character was supposed to be a bridge between the two sides of the force, but it appears he is more machine than man.

As Palpatine explained, “The Dark Side is not evil,” Anakin was forced to doubt the true intentions of the Jedi order. Suddenly, he began to doubt whether the Jedi were hanging on to power rather than acting for the greater good. It is for this reason that Anakin embraced the dark side in order to save Padme. But this turn to the dark side is a paradox. Anakin’s deepest vulnerability is his love for Padme, which he exploits to the point of aggression.

Obi-Wan’s spying on General Grievous

Is Obi-Wan spying on General Grievous really necessary? Yes, and no. I believe that Obi-Wan should have been able to stop the Order 66 if he was able to see Anakin Skywalker. However, the Jedi Council is unable to see Anakin’s true motivations for spying, and it is a major plot point that makes the film seem like a confusing mess.

There’s no reason Obi-Wan’s spying should have been necessary, and this storyline is far too complicated to be made into a stand-alone standalone movie. It is an incredibly complex and complicated character. Regardless of the reason, Obi-Wan’s spying on General Grievous is an essential element of the Star Wars universe and should not be left out.

The Emperor should have let Obi-Wan do what he does best: spies! After all, Obi-Wan is the strongest Jedi in the galaxy. But what if Obi-Wan had spying on General Grievous on a secret mission? If he had, the Emperor would have thrown him off a wall with The Force, and then had the Emperor kept him around to spy on Anakin?

Darth Vader’s construction of the Death Star

There is an argument to be made that Darth Vader’s construction of the death star should have been the end of Star Wars: Episode III. The Death Star was being built for two or three years when the film ended. The Separatists already had plans in place at the end of Episode II, and they had the personal wealth of two influential Sith. But the Separatists were worried about the death of their workers, the Geonosians, who built the Death Star.

If the Emperor had been allowed to stay alive, then Darth Vader’s construction of the death star should have ended the film. Vader forced the Emperor to call his most elite Imperial officers to meet with him. Then, randomly choosing five officers, he Force-choked them in front of their colleagues. Afterwards, he threatened to assassinate the remaining officers if they did not cooperate.

General Grievous’ cowardice

We are all familiar with the story line of star wars, but there are two major flaws that the movie did not address: the general’s cowardice and his utter disregard for the Jedi Order. While Sidious was right to send the Jedi council to Mustafar to hunt down General Grievous, this miscalculation cost the film a very satisfying conclusion. While Sidious may not have been all that upset by the death of his mentor and his followers, Grievous’ cowardice is a serious problem that should have been resolved in star wars 3.

First, Grievous is supposed to be standing upright when we first see him, but by two-thirds of the way through modeling, Lucas changed it so that he would hove instead. Then, when he and Obi-Wan fight on Utapau, we see Grievous hove and stand upright. It’s a very confusing scene, as both the general and Obi-Wan are struggling to avoid Grievous’ deadly blows.
