This may have been mentioned before, but I watched AOTC and ROTS the other day, and it occured to me how easy it would be to do this.

Eliminate 'Darth" as a title. I think "Darth Maul" is only named once, and Dooku is only called "Lord Tyrannus" in AOTC and "Darth Tyrranus" only once in ROTS. Yoda calls Palpy "Darth Sidious" but I think he's "Lord Sidious" in all lines of dialogue in TPM and AOTC. Just tweaking those lines of dialogue, or just cutting the line should be relatively easy.

Frankly I don't like 'Darth' as a title because it doesn't seem to be used that way in the OT, and it instantly lead to 5,000 'Darths' in the EU, most with simply awful names, as the writers picked up a thesaurus and looked up random words with nasty connotations.
