The OT backstory (AKA "prequels") is kind of like you lie to your wife or to your parents. The idea and the logic might seem pretty good on the surface, but if you dig deeper or take a good hard look at it, the inconsistencies will shine through and theres no way to the lie going. I've done my fair share or rethinking the prequels and there are definitely problems with the source material (that we've gone into ad nauseum in these forums).
Maybe you're right, VINH. Maybe we just don't want prequels because they can't be good no matter who writes them.
