Major Spoilers Question of the Day: Minor Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes Edition

Sometimes, in the wee hours of the night, strange things occur to me.  Like how Hal Jordan’s over-the-top attitude would be more palatable if it were his *mother* who died in a fighter-jet crash, or how Taylor Swift would look awesome with a full sleeve tattoo.  (It would certainly make her Pretty Pretty Princess routine less saccharine and twee.)  These kind of thoughts are what George Carlin called “the things that kept me out of the really good schools”, but they’re also wonderful to consider.  Would Rodrigo has disliked ‘Moulin Rouge’ as much if it weren’t a jukebox musical?  Would Zach still love ‘Breaking Bad’ if Heisenberg were played by Bob Newhart?  Would ‘Gotham’ have worked better for me if Jada Pinkett-Smith’s name weren’t the ridiculous Fish Mooney?  The slightest change can have massive consequences, as Jeff Goldblum will tell you, but those same alterations can also lead us to today’s theoretical query…

The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) suspects that ‘The Phantom Menace’ without Jar-Jar Binks might have some appeal to many, asking:  What minor changes do you think might make you interested in something you’re otherwise put off by?
