Porkins and the whole Rogue Squadron? And why not Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru? They were all murdered too! And while you're at it, just throw Whoopi Goldberg and Patrick Swayze in there as well. "What you talkin' bout Sam Wheat..."
I was waiting for someone make this argument. As I explained above, Qui-Gon is the one who discovered the secret to immortality. He is the one who taught Obi-Wan and Yoda, and Anakin becoming one with the Force can have a variety of explanations. This is not arguing he was an important character in the saga, so it'd be nice to have him there. This is arguing he is the reason the others ARE there, sharing the path with them; Qui-Gon deserves to be there, and it is logical for him to be so.

STARTING? I've been excited about this for weeks!
About the title though, Trooperman himself has suggested going with simply "Star Wars" for the title of this episode. While that's certainly a new take on things, I would argue that Star Wars is the name of the saga, and each chapter should have its own unique title. For example, the first LotR film is not "Lord of the Rings," rather "Lord of the Rings: The Felloiwship of the Ring." That's just an observation though; I'm not sure how I feel about it either.
Maul is a tricky subject. Is he a lone Sith assassin? Is he working with the Trade Federation? If he is in league with the Nemoidians, does he have his own agenda? The most important question however is what can we do with the material we have to work with? Reinventing the character of Maul/Grievous is a key alteration to this saga; that's one of the things that we should probably map out before we start delving into the saga.
