Random thought / observation …nearly every prequel rewrite or idea I come across still uses characters that were created for the movies that came out between 1999 and 2005 . Darth Maul , Grievous , Dooku , Qui Gon, etc . Be nice to see a rewrite or idea using original characters as well as the ones from the OT that would logically carry over …
It’s more of a challenge that way, but it can definitely open up a lot more options for the rewriter. I’m personally a fan of the idea of using most of the prequel characters as a base and then tweaking them to suit the story. So, you might have a fallen Jedi leading a separatist movement, a character who’s like Dooku but also diverges in several ways. Or you can have a Kaleesh warlord character who’s a deviation from Grievous.
