That would have been at least 10 times worse than what we got, truely terrible idea!
No, it is not 10 times worse. It is 11 times Better than EP III.
1.) It does not conflicted with the classic "Leia remembers her real mother" moment of Episode VI or destroy the Classic "Leia is really Luke's Sister" moment of Episode VI or destroy the Classic "I am your Father" moment of Episode V.
2.) Vader is the full real vader from the OT and not Anakin Skywalker played by Hayden Christensen.
3.) It is about the Dark Times inwhich the full real vader from the OT hunts down the jedi and not Anakin Skywalker (vader in name only) played by Hayden Christensen.
4.) No Padme and her bad lines.
5.) Obi Wan is in hiding and on the run from the Empire.
6.) It is a darker time, so an eight year old Leia would darker character than the eight year old Anakin from EP I. also the eight year old Leia is not the main plot like the eight year old Anakin from EP I was.
7.) In the OT, Old ben and Luke knew each other before EP IV. so having Old Ben stop by (maybe to pick-up his old speeder from Luke's uncle) and running across a young Luke fits into the Saga Story Telling. also the eight year old Luke is not the main plot like the eight year old Anakin from EP I was. plus It is Luke and not Anakin.
8.) The movie would have X-wings, Tie-Fighters and other ships from the OT and not the PT Ships.
9.) It is more a Prequel to EP IV Idea than Lucas' EP III was. Lucas' EP III was more a Sequel to his EP II than a to a Prequel to EP IV.
10.) Obi Wan battles the full real vader from the OT and and not Anakin Skywalker (vader in name only) played by Hayden Christensen.
11.) No Hayden Christensen in this movie.
