While we certainly want to make a PT that is more in line with the OT, we also don't want to fall in the trap many sequels do of simply rehashing the originals. Just because the cloaking devices and clone replacments aren't in the OT doesn't mean that they're out of place, just that they weren't in the OT. Then, of course, we run the risk of crossing that line that the PT seemed to ignore the existence of.

My point is, we can't make it TOO much like the OT, but we can't stray too far either.
