I think it's important that nobody feels that their ideas have been shot down or killed off.

Ulitimately if this thread is to deliver anything in the form of an animated alternative to the official prequels someone is going to have to start doing the hard work of animating it and that person will call the shots when it comes to story elements.

It's possible that this thread might create more than one set of stories too.

If anyone feels that their vision of where this idea may go is lost in discussion take away what you do like and write it up.

Keep looking at this thread for other ideas which ring your bell and when you are satisfied start recruiting technical staff.

Ideas like these are like getting free toys and everyday someone posts is Christmas day.

When it comes to making something, then it will be hard work but viewing the final results (be they one project or half a dozen) will be like every Christmas coming at once.

So don't lose heart or kick down anyone elses input.

Have fun and keep the ideas flowing even if they don't match up yet.
