plus rob coleman and animators working on something like this is what they should have been doing in the first place. more of the prequels should have been shot live action and traditionally than cgi fakery.
the artists and animators who worked on the prequels did phenomenal work, it is not their fault that lucas is a terrible writer. the storyboard artists were clearly inspired by mcquarrie even though by episode II were working in an entirely digital medium.
some of the more inspired concepts did not make it into the films because of either budgetry constraints or they were simply too sci fi and unlike star wars.
the story for instance in the first kotor game was better than the prequels were. lucas cannot write but terribly yet he is surrounded by friends and employees who are clearly wonderful writers. they should have been writing the prequels.
the novelizations of the prequels while not perfect have a humanity to them that the films do not. Terry Brooks tryed his damndest to get the original trilogy flavor in episode 1 novel and while mostly failed did a better job than lucas, he was able to connect anakins story to lukes in a way lucas could not.
i have a feeling that had joseph campbell lived even he would have seen the prequels as nothing but video games. computers clealrly allowed lucas to get lazy something he could not get away with in 1973 when he first put pencil to paper.
if the prequels are more like lucas original concept for star wars than what he ended up with as he says then had he been able to make those movies back then (the oot) with todays technology they would have been flops.
