If they made a movie about a crazed fan going back in time to prevent the negatives of the original trilogy from being destroyed to make the special editions and stop the prequels from being made i would see that.

But a movie to get a dying friend to see Episode 1 that is just cruel and unusual punishment. Better off screening the person copies of the original film prints. Instead of the last thing you see in life is jar jar binks and the star wars saga entering into a legacy of suckage and tfn fanboyism.
