Handling the changes they made to PC and their effects on Dawn Treader

It should pose no problem. It's been 3 years for Caspian, he's gotten over it, therefore Ed and Lucy will probably forget about it. I think that Edmund and Lucy both are old enough to realize that, you know, if Aslan said Peter and Susan couldn't stay, then obviously Susan/Caspian wasn't meant to be. Unless they make it out to be a problem, and the writers are the ones who are writing this, btw, I don't think Ed and Lucy will think much about it (they'll probably be far too occupied with Eustace's whining :p )

Yea true, I just hope the writers don't over-do everything, meaning I hope they don't turn everything into more drama than it needs to be.

Exactly! It can never be held against Caspian that Susan can't come back! It's not his decision, nor hers. They were not ment to be, that's it! They shared a farewell kiss, that's all.

Caspian can't be expected to go through life without marrying, because Susan can't come back. He has to get an heir to the throne as well. So I don't think Lucy and Edmund will think about it, at least not much! ;)
 
I don't really see how any of the changes to PC are going to affect VoDT. The only major ones were the raid on the castle, Peter's attitude, and the Caspian/Susan thing and aside from Caspian getting married at the end of VoDT none of that should matter; even that shouldn't change anything.

Exactly. As ghastly as some of the changes were, none of them need to affect VDT film at all because they all pertain to people/situations that won't even be present in this film. The only one that even matters in VDT is Caspian's advanced age, and that actually works as a plus because he is supposed to have aged more than Ed and Lucy.
 
With hindsight, perhaps the casting of Ben as Caspian was done with that in mind.
If they were thinking in terms of Ben playing Caspian from a teenager in PC, through a man in his prime in VOTDT and finally as an old man in SC then perhaps their choice makes a bit more sense.
 
Why, i do hope they won't wait with filming SC untill Ben Barnes is actually that old :p

I agree that the changes don't have to effect Voyage. But if everyone on the crew agrees with the major changes in the movie, than i fear that they might agree with major changes on Voyage too. So i don't fear for the effects of Caspian, but i fear that the 'movie-making-spirit' continues in Voyage.

But i have hope :D I tend to be quite an optimist :p

Thank you! That really clarified the point I was trying to make and couldn't quite put in the right words. (Except I don't think the changes are ghastly. But that's slightly off topic so I'll be quiet.;))
