Is there a thread or a list that gathers all of Adywan's ideas for the PT Revisited? I would like to offer my two cents but Id rather do it fully informed.

As far as I can make out, the only things Ady has announced so far is removing Threepio from TPM & AOTC and giving Jar Jar a new alien voice which he can add different dialogue to via subtitles (a bit like Magnoliafan did I imagine).

ESB:R is still over a year away and ROTJ:R will take a lot longer from what Ady has been saying so this thread is partly to come up with some ideas that Ady might find useful in the years to come but it's really for anyone to use.

With so many years ahead (where Lucasfilm might add more bits and bobs onto whatever they officially release) I'm not sure if Ady will finalise what he wants to do with the prequels for a loooooooong time.

I'm not Adywan (there is no other) so you could drop him a message yourself.

P.S. On the subject of Threepio I remember that Lucas originally intended to give him a used car salesman voice and we are short of a Han Solo style positive cynic it might be possible to keep Threepio but give him a very different way of expressing himself (something like Bender from "Futurama") which would explain why Owen doesn't recognise him (he looks different and he sounds different too). When he comes to Coruscant he could be reprogrammed to sound like a fussy butler or he could gain that personality type after he has his memory erased at the end of ROTS, leaving R2 as the only character that remembers that Threepio is the same character throughout. It would add a bit of irony to Threepio in the OT, where he makes out he is a superior sophisticated droid to Artoo, when Artoo (and us too) remembers him as being an oily scoundrel made out of salvaged junk.

I really love this "Star Wars Tales" story too :
