I’m a little torn on my rewrite of the prequels. I think Yoda wouldn’t be about that bureaucracy stuff, so he wouldn’t be in the council, and neither would Mace in my rewrite. I want to portray the Jedi Council as a real adversary in TPM but learn their lesson, accept more people in AOTC, but go back to their old way when asking Anakin to spy on Palpatine.

However, I don’t want to make the Jedi out to be corrupt- I want to make the Jedi great and the Council a disgrace to what the Jedi should be, but would that be as close to how they were portrayed in the OT? The OT made it seem like the Jedi weren’t very organized, and it was a person-to-person thing.

What say y’all? I could really go either way. My rewrites tend to try to improve the stories themselves and not make them into totally different movies
