Part of the problem with Star Wars is how seperate the PT and OT are considered; as good as the originals are, making all 6 films flow like a true saga requires alterations to both trilogies (besides, most of the "work" to be done to the OT has already been and will be adressed by MagnoliaFan and DarthEditous). I understand you are a strong defender of the O-OT, as am I, but this being your version of the saga, I think it's only fair to give the originals some attention as well after all the effort spent on the prequels. You are of course, the boss, and have the final word, but I would again encourage you to consider this.
Ulp. You went ahead and said it.
Well, I consider this essential IF the "Saga" is ever really going to hold together. If there are 6 Episodes, and Episode I sets it all up, then Episode I should come first. Naturally. Ideally.
That said, I think the Saga needs to address the "reveal" that Vader is Anakin as seen in Episode V. I've long been bothered by this because it actually screws with things in "Episode IV" which was written without that idea. Vader wasn't Anakin until the 3rd Draft of ESB.
I love the twist, but I don't like how Obi Wan went from being so cool when I saw Star Wars to being such a lying, desperate, guilt-laying old man in ROTJ. I have ways of addressing this -- and will if I have to do the editing myself. It's really a thorn in the side of the Saga.
And aside from a few good moments, ROTJ is a movie I just don't like. It is barely better than AOTC in any honest accounting, guilty of so many similar sins.
