the motion comic thing isnt such a bad idea as alot of the key material is already made, someone was doing a dark empire one i think. the watchmen motion comic is pretty cool.
star wars comics are a mixed bunch though. any comic adaptations of the films tend to be REALLY bad.
would you rewrite the prequels completely? it would make an awesome thread, just for ideas. i mean some of us were speculating for nearly 10-20 years as to the stories!
