Star Wars’ Prequels Fix Is Now Only Missing 1 Character
Disney’s
Star Wars canon has been improving the prequels for a while now, but there is still one important character missing. It can be argued that the Star Wars prequel trilogy was built on three characters – Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Padmé Amidala. However, whereas the first two have been revisited in live-action, Natalie Portman’s final appearance as Padmé happened in 2005's Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.
After trying to move away from the prequels with Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Wars soon realized that ignoring such a vast universe of characters, locations, and storylines was a mistake. As flawed as the Star Wars prequel trilogy was, Episodes I, II, and III had a level of innovation – not just in terms of technology, but also world-building – that not even the Star Wars sequels could match. From Star Wars' prequel actors returning for small cameos to shows entirely focused on prequel-era stories, Star Wars has come a long way since The Force Awakens tried to kill the Sith and ignore all things prequels.
Star Wars Has Fixed Most Of The Prequels' Biggest Character Mistakes
More than acknowledging the prequels, Star Wars is taking the chance to revisit beloved characters from Episodes I, II, and III in ways that improves both their stories and roles in the saga. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, for example, brought Jimmy Smits back as Bail Organa, bridging a prequel character with the original trilogy setting – Bail was Leia’s father and died in Alderaan, even though the original Star Wars was written decades before the character was created. Likewise, Genevieve O'Reilly, who played Mon Mothma in a deleted Revenge of the Sith scene, reprised her role as the Rebels’ leader in Rogue One and Andor.
However, it was only after The Mandalorian that Star Wars really opened the door for the prequels to be revisited on a major scale. Granted, The Mandalorian was heavily inspired by the character of Boba Fett, which was an original trilogy creation. Still, from the name “Mandalorian” itself to the world around Din, The Mandalorian was aesthetically closer to the prequel era – especially after The Clone Wars characters started to join live-action. Following The Mandalorian’s success in bringing characters like Bo-Katan Kryze and Ahsoka Tano into a major Disney Star Wars release, it became clear that prequel-era stories could be told.
