I can live with the prequel story that Lucas did produce and like some of it but it could have been improved
1.Get rid off Qui-Gonn so Obi Wan meets and finds Anakin and trains him despite the objections of the council.
2. Anakin older in Menace, and his and Padmes relationship has grown before Clones starts, and the relationship hitting its peak towards the end.
3. Dont include 3-PO until the end certainly not built by Anakin(gets rid of contuinity problems as does introducing R2 until later)
4. Needed more interaction between Palps and Anakin as kid?, teenager and as an adult.
5. Thought the introduction storyliine of Jango was a bad idea, shrunk the universe, could have been anyone cloned,we dont need a bit of the life story or introduction for every character in the O.T.
6.Mas Amedda Sly Moore should have been those Imperial Advisor guys in ROTJ, Tarkin as an assistant to see why he is in charge of the Death Star and his importance to the Emperor.
7.But I dont feel the introduction of the Death Star was essential again creates issues over the construction time frame.
8. Anakin showing more of his attributes"cunning warrior" "best starpilot in the galaxy" and a "good friend" on screen.
9. Love and something else not just a snub from the council for his turn to evil then to murderer
10.Padmes death needed to be more convincing Anakin killing her, living long enough to deliver the babies but not naming them.
11. Anakin begging The Emperor to save him. no just the Emperor finding him and saving him.
13. Got rid off Binks the travelling scenes and Gungan battle reduced and replaced with meaningful to the saga scenes.
I did most of these in my story rewrites of Episodes I and II, check them out here (EPI) and here (EPII).
In EPI, I did take the liberty of explaining the clones' origins - but the final revelation of them comes in EPIII. It also isn't so coincidental - it kind of has a reason to it. I am struggling to get Anakin and Palpatine to interact more in my rewrites, mostly because of the changes I've made in the politics. I am thinking, however, that I will forge a relationship between Anakin and Sidious instead, after Anakin is expelled from the Jedi Order. I bring Tarkin into the political climate in EPII, as Palpatine is surrounding himself with allies in the Senate. I am formulating decent reasons for Anakin's expulsion from the order as I am currently rewriting EPIII. I will have Padmé die a lot later (I may not even have her die in the films, but merely infer that she does), to give credence to Leia's remembrance of her. Binks and the Gungans are gone - I've tried to stick with using mostly aliens from the OT (with the exception of the Kaminoans).
