I would make Anakin a bit older, for example, maybe 10 or 12. Also, I <I>like</I> the bit with Jar-Jar's tongue at the dinner table, although I agree with ditching the other slapsticky bits with the bantha poo and Sebulba. Love the darker version of the Naboo occupation; it's more grown up than the filmed version without being inappropriate for younger viewers, the same tone as the original SW. <BR/><BR/>I look forward to seeing what you do with midichlorians. Personally, I find them too problematic to leave in -- I prefer the mystical explanation of the Force -- although I have heard some good arguments in favor of them and what George was possibly trying to say with them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
