I dunno, I think you're missing the point here. It's like poetry, it's sort of, they rhyme. ;)

I hate prequels (and this is not the prequels, but generally prequels). I think direct prequels to something is a dumb concept and is bound to disappoint at least to some degree. By trying to explain some characters origin and backstory, one is potential ruining its mystique and on top of that competes with the audience's imagination.
Prequel Trilogy was supposed to be a story about a good man turning bad. In reality, it is a story about how a complete jerk (PT Anakin) turned into one of the best characters in film history (OT Vader)

I am ready for the trials!Lucas has been protective of Yoda with regards to not fleshing out his early history, or even giving his species a name. Pretty amazing since even the most obscure background characters have backstories now.

Exactly.
A Han/Boba/Yoda origin story is a horrible idea, but we all knew this was coming when Disney said they were going to do spinoffs.
"In the future it will become even easier for old negatives to become lost and be "replaced" by new altered negatives. This would be a great loss to our society. Our cultural history must not be allowed to be rewritten." - George Lucas

I do hate the idea of prequels, but I atleast have to believe these films will still be far better than the PT. I wonder if it would be possible to integrate these origin stories (and future ones) with existing PT material. Maybe, one could have Han Solo in ROTS?

Oh, I've certainly known that for a long time. But I would never want to see him in there in that context. Chewbacca, Owen, and Beru were all shown in terrible contexts in the PT.

Winner!
The ROTJ collaborative thread is a wealth of ideas, both on how to edit Return of the Jedi, as well as how to collaborate in an edit. Emanswfan has taken leadership of the project.

A very rough idea of how ROTJ could end

Well Han Solo is one of my favourite charectors from the movies but my all time fav is Dash Rendar mainly because I grew up with the n64 SOTE game so it would be cool if they made a standalone film about him just after the events in SOTE
What's worse George Lucas changing the OT or selling the rights to Disney

Shadows of the Empire game was amazing on the N64. I would love to see elements of that considered for the new Star Wars film.

Random thought on Ep VII:
So, a lot of people joke that JJ Abrams' ST09 was "the best SW movie since ROTJ," and that it was more of a SW movie than a ST movie (ie, ST isn't supposed to be so action-y).
Got me thinking, it would be pretty ironic if Ep VII turned out as "the best ST movie since _____" (sorry, not a ST fan, don't know much about the series). Like, instead of an action-y SW movie, JJ Abrams makes a more philosophical, thinking-man's scifi movie (ie, more in line with ST).
Probably won't happen, but who knows, nothing would surprise me.

Once upon a time there was a Star Wars trilogy. Now there is apocrypha.Well, our species is called Homo sapiens sapiens, which means "Thinking man that thinks", so to answer your question, no, we don't think.
