We all agree that the prequels stuck. And we've all thought about remaking or re-editing them. I'm wondering how some of us would do it.
Here's how I would, to get things started.
-Cut Phantom Menace completely. No Jar Jar, no midi-chlorians, no Jake Lloyd, already a huge improvement.
- The Jedis just called them "apprentices", not "padawans". And they don't have to wear 80's rat tails.
- Jedis can get married.
- General Grievous kicks ass like he did in Gennedy's "Clone Wars" shorts.
- We cut out that "youngling" crap and just say "Anakin killed the children". That at least elicits an inherent human emotional response.
Already it's sounding better, isn't it? Now you.
