So, this is the thread I've been looking for. I'm not sure how it slipped past me for so long- it's conversations that I've tried to start over in General Star Wars chat and never got very far.

I've spent several days pouring over it and I have some comments. On the one hand, I'm amazed at how similar ideas I've come to are to those posted here. On the other hand, there are some terrible ideas here- ones that go so far as to make me want Lucas's PT back (which is saying something). I'll refrain from being any more of a jerk and just slamming other people's ideas and I will try to offer some of my own.

First though, it frustrates me to see that people's needs/wants for the Prequels are wide and varied. In my mind, I would hope that there was one right, obvious way to do these movies and that George simply screwed it up. In reality, it seems that there are lots of contrary ideas and that while we can agree that Lucas's PT sucked, we can't agree as to the better way.

And also, it would be nice if we had a separate forum for this since there are so many topics to cover...
