Some of the ideas mentioned in this thread don't sit well with me because they completely throw off the whole idea of the "saga" being about the fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker.

That's funny because I never thought that's what Star Wars should be about, which is part of why I'm so excited about this.

The original trilogy is about Luke, not Anakin.  The prequel trilogy, while I feel it should be able to be seen first without spoiling the surprises of the OT, should only exist to give context to the original trilogy, and I feel that Obi-Wan should be the central character while Anakin's role (size-wise) should be roughly equivalent to his role in the OT.

Well yes, it's about Luke. I should have clarified. I see it as about the skywalker duo, father and son. the father's fall, his son's following his footsteps and straddling the path to the dark side and then his redemption
