But my suggestion was to use Infinities to backdoor complete rewrites. Maybe reuse character names and likenesses if they have to. And give it to authors that were working in Star Wars prior to the Prequels and had some private concept of what the Clone Wars were and how the Fall of the Jedi/Republic went down, etc. etc...

I love this idea!

No way in H-E-Double-Hell is it going to happen. And honestly, unless one of these Infinities ideas gets made into a movie, I don't think I'd be interested.

And on the flip side, what happens if Lucas gives the green light, and then some EU writer or video game programmer exposes the prequels as the joke that they are? I don't see Lucas being secure enough to show him up as the beloved, flannel-wearing story-teller.
