Please don't tell me you actually did this as a child! You couldn't figure out how the puzzle worked, so you simply made it fit? You see, in a puzzle, the pieces are created with the sole purpose of fitting together. If they don't fit together, then you don't have a puzzle. And you don't take your puzzle of the Golden Gate Bridge and try to combine it with a puzzle with a puzzle of the Statue of Liberty. They aren't meant to fit together, and so they won't unless you deface them. What the prequels should have been was the other half of the puzzle, or, no... a small little corner whose detail you can't quite see. Its clarification isn't necessary, but it would be nice to know what was in that corner. Those are what the prequels should have been. A part that's custom made to fit the existing puzzle. Instead, you have the orignals as the Statue of Liberty, and the prequels as the Golden Gate Bridge, and Lucas tries his damndest to make this implausible situation fit.
There's just no logical standpoint to it.

Well, I was trying to be funny with that puzzle thing and no, I never did that. On the other hand, I should have used this analogy. I bet EVERYONE has done this. Taking the stickers off of the Rubix Cube because you go so frustrated with it and were happy when you could pretend that you got all the colors lined up again.
But I do love every version of Star Wars out there, the newer the better. I can't look at Darth Vader and not see Hayden Christsensen inside the suit, which is a good thing by the way. I can easilly see the movies looking like they were filmed AFTER Sith, which is the way it should appear. Yeah they were filmed before, so what? I think it turned out great the way it did.
Hey, wouldn't it be cool if Jake Lloyd did a cmeo as little Luke somewhere in the TV series? Maybe this is only a question for Adamwankenobi. By the way, when I was little my mom said I looked like Luke Skywalker. I used to have blond hair and it was even in the same style as Jake's in TPM. Yeah, I liked Star Wars as a child, but because it has explosions, fighting, ewoks, lightsabers, and cool toys. That's all. I didn't care about or understand any of the technical aspects. So go ahead and change them and make them better, as good as the prequels, technology speaking.
As a matter of fact, did anyone see the 2004 (or was it 2005?) MTV movie awards post show? Where they had this fake award for this pretend critic that liked EVERY movie? "Wow! I'm watching a MOVIE!! This is great! I have popcorn! Yeah!! Awesome" and he gave like 5 stars to movies like Gigli and stuff? Well, that guy kinda is me. If the movie is entertaining/ has a lot of action/ is funny (any combination) and not totally boring, it gets an A+ in my book. Never had any desire to see Gigli though.
