iirc in the behind the scenes for rots lucas talks about cutting basically the first half of the early drafts for that film, stuff that dealt with the dangling threads from aotc, because going through it all meant devoting lots of this film to procedural matters from the last film. presumably at some point he also thought "eh, a tv show can deal with it" all the elements are there in aotc anyway. sifo-dyas was Dooku or influenced by Dooku, who was still a Jedi st the time but had started calling himself Tyranus and also presumably tampered with the archives.

Cease to Hope posted:it's really the worst part of the worst prequel, and i'm curious how the creative process led to that or why people think that's fine or else not true. For whatever reason, Lucas wanted Obi-Wan to have a sort of film noir detective sideplot in the movie, so he added the whole Sifo-Dyas / clone mystery. It may have been partially inspired by Alec Guinness' investigation-focused framing narrative from Doctor Zhivago, since that movie also influenced Lucas' depiction of Anakin and Padme's romance (so much so that he specifically asked Drew Struzan to make Attack of the Clones' poster mimic Zhivago's). In the commentary track for Attack of the Clones, Lucas mentions that the mystery of Sifo-Dyas is something that will be resolved in the next movie... and then in the commentary track for the next movie he says that he decided to leave it for the Expanded Universe to resolve instead. Based on what's said in the movie's making-of book, Episode III seems to have been a really frustrating movie to work on, because Lucas took a really long time to actually write the script. They were nine months into pre-production and he was still having trouble figuring out what was actually going to be in the movie because he'd realized that he had too many dangling threads on either side of the movie for everything to line up. The movie's producer had to start bringing random department heads to unrelated meetings in order to pressure Lucas into just writing the script because there were people who were on the clock and waiting for him to do his job. So the Sifo-Dyas thing was just one of those things that he just had to drop in order for the movie to actually get made on time.

anyway prequel squared is positive, meaning the value of prequel is therefore negative
