I see there is talk of edits after Episode II. Well, (and, Trooperman I hope that you don't mind me talking about my edits again in this thread) these are the crawls I was thinking of using for episode I and, III.

Star Wars

Conflict has arisen in
the Galatic Republic. The
taxation of trade routes
to the outer star systems
is in dispute.

The Trade Federation has
stopped all shipping to
the small planet of
Naboo, In a desperate
move with a blockade
of deadly battleships.

The Supreme Chancellor has
informed Queen Amidala that
he has secretly dispatched
two Jedi Knights, the
guardians of peace and
justice in the galaxy, to
settle the conflict....


Episode III
THE SITH TAKE REVENGE


The fires of the Clone Wars
are burning throughout the galaxy. The
CONFEDERACY OF INDEPENDANT SYSTEMS
has dealt one crippling blow after another
to the Republic.

Recalled from a battlefront in
the Outer Rim, General Kenobi and
Anakin return to Coruscant
to find that, the malicious cyborg
General Grievous has infiltrated the capital
and abducted Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.

As the Separatist Droid Army flees Coruscant
with its valuable hostage, the Jedi Order send
three Jedi to rescue the captive chancellor....

Where I got the confederacy of independant systems part is from the game's book intro. Which reads:

The fires of the Clone Wars are burning throughout
ever corner of the galaxy. Guided by the Sith and
under the direct leadership of Count Dooku, the
Confederacy of Independent Systems has dealt one
crippling blow after another to the Republic. Recalled
from a battlefront in the Outer Rim, Obi-Wan Kenobi and
Anakin Skywalker return to Coruscant to find the planet
under siege. Seeking to drive the Republic into further
chaos, the malicious cyborg General Grievous has
infiltrated the capital and abducted Supreme Chancellor
Palpatine. As the Separatist army flees Coruscant
with its prize, Obi-Wan and Anakin lead an urgent
rescue mission to free the captive Chancellor.
The fate of the galaxy rides with them; failure could mean
an end to the war... and to the Republic itself.


I don't know how well you could add backstory to the Jedi in a prologe. At least without the crawl going on for too long.
Also, I read about trying to make Darth Maul = Grevious and, I think it's a bad idea. If he didn't die the way he did I wouldn't mind it at all. However, he dies by being sliced in half. If they have the technology to save a person from that. Then, a lot of the deaths become questioned. Especially, when you do get to episode III(Is Mace now in a suit? Did, Palpatine put Dooku in a suit[the head does live for a few minutes after getting cut off and, his body might on the half that landed and, blood loss wouldn't be an issue so, he would live even longer mabye ten or, twenty minutes]? Who else is in a suit? ). Also, in the original trilogy the technology's supposed to be even more advanced so, that brings into question the danger of all the characters. If some one in that same universe can survive being choped in half why be afriad that anyone get's hurt at all? So, basically what I'm saying is that if you can make it so that he dies whole then, I wouldn't be against it but, as it is now it just brings up more questions. It is possible with editing though. He's whole until he flips over. You could let it go on a little bit more so, that he's cut but, not fully and, that's why he would need the suit.
