I keep coming back to my idea of deleting Attack of the Clones and just having a big timeskip between TPM and ROTS. It would get rid of everything I really don’t like in the prequels. TPM and ROTS are easily improved or even perfected with edits but AotC much less so. The 3-in-1 edits tend to cut everything from TPM except for duel of the fates, but I think that’s a mistake, and duel of the fates doesn’t really work as well out of context anyway.

For this to work, some of the material in AotC would need to be added to the end of TPM or at the beginning of ROTS. I favor the ending more.
This mainly includes the clone army, Palpatine announcing the creation of the army, and something establishing who the separatists are. The most essential, trickiest part would be making a strong connection between the Trade Federation and the Separatists, showing how the events with Naboo led directly to the creation of the clone army. The groundwork is already there because Palpatine got elected off the back of the Naboo events. When he says “as my first act with this new authority” he could be referring to just getting elected as chancellor, not necessarily because Jar Jar said he should have emergency powers. But even that moment would work better right after a whole movie of Jar Jar! (maybe) Visually, the Separatists are already an extension of the Trade Federation, so that’s not too big of a reach either. If there were some way to put Dooku somewhere in this, that would be great too.

This also gives a much longer timespan for the clone army to be grown. Maybe the war doesn’t fully start until they’re finished or almost finished.
