They are the numbered prequels. We old timers waited from 1983 to 1999 to get them and look at them.

There is good in them but it's more the themes than the acting directing and editing (though attempts to plain edit out the worst aspects of them have made them watchable, not good mind but watchable).

ROTJ:R won't be delayed by PT:R if anything it will keep Ady busy while aspects of ROTJ:R are inevitably delayed. It will keep him sharp and his skills current and up to date.

But there is potential in the current PT that plain editing can't get to.

For me ROTJ:R and the PT:R are the projects I most wanted to see when I saw my first few stills of ANH:R all those years back. They are the projects that got me to sign up here rather than just lurk.

I have been disappointed by ROTJ since I was 13. I find it almost as much a disappointment as TPM. I want to love Star Wars as a whole not as two and bit icebergs in a sea of chilly sewage. And that includes the PT because I have been thinking about old Ben fighting Vader over a volcanic pit since before ESB.

I know Ady is going his own way but if TFA is good (still an if for me) I would prefer ROTJ:R to not massively contradict it but I'm sure someone will sculpt it along those lines once it is done.

I suspect that Rogue One will be the Episode 3 I waited for.
