The Skywalker name and Anakin/Vader are the biggest issues.

I really don't get why the Skywalker name is such a big problem? If you cut the rescue of Anakin and the Born of Vader you'll know that Anakin is the father or some kind of family of Luke. But you don't know Vader IS Anakin. So that's still a surprise in Ep V you'll remember the dying Anakin on Mustafar who must have survived it's fatal wounds.

You seem to be forgetting "who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil.....betrayed and murdered your father"

I can understand that some people want to preserve the shock of learning that Vader is Luke's father, but I just don't see how that can be done without undermining the purpose of the prequels.

To me, the "purpose" of the prequels was always to cash in on a succesful franchise, and to hell with the originals. People here just want to make them a respectable part of the saga without shitting all over our childhood.
