I would not have done the prequels period. i would have moved the story forward and show Luke After Return of the Jedi. I would have done a sequel trilogy with at least Mark Hamill if not Ford and Fisher.

Looking back now, I am glad Lucas didn't do 7,8,9. Atleast with the PT, if we don't like it, we can erase it from the story, cause essentially it is about the rise of Anakin and the Empire in a nutshell. You can enjoy 4,5,6 even today without the PT.

If Lucas made 7,8,9 and those movies sucked with Hammil, and possibly Ford and Fisher, that would have REALLY tarnished the OT. Atleast now we can say that 4,5,6 are classics to us, and the PT is just a different story, whereas 7,8,9 would have been like Rocky V, where OUR heroes are in a crappy movie.

Plus bashing is funner when it comes to Hayden, Jake Lloyd, Jar Jar, and Padme, whereas it wouldn't be the same burying Mark Hammill because the Sequel Trilogy sucks.
