I posted this on the previous page, but I think the lightsaber colors are the least of the prequels' problems. It only makes sense to discuss them when an edit changes Dooku from a Sith to a rogue Jedi. And even then I wouldn't make it more complicated then it is. Just give him the established Jedi colors of blue, green and purple (weren't there purple sabers on Geonosis, or was that another case of bad AOTC colors?). I just can't picture Dooku sitting down and think about what color would reflect his unaffiliated position the best.

On another subject: I was thinking about trying to make TPM a bit more a part of the PT. As it is, it's a rather standalone movie, it's very different in feel from AOTC and ROTS. Biggest problem is the time gap between TPM and AOTC. Pretty much everything established in TPM is reset in AOTC: Anakin is literally another person and Padme is not a Queen anymore.

My idea for TPM was to change the Trade Federation's motivation for the blockade of Naboo. As pointed out in that 70 minute review, Naboo is a very lush planet, it's difficult to imagine them dependent on trade for food. How about changing the Trade Federation to a Separatist movement to start with? They could be after Naboo's rich natural resources, and use the blockade to force Amidala to sign the treaty to join them. This sparks debate in the Senate about this budding Separatist movement (and could also involve Dooku a little earlier), and could lead to AOTC.

Then, we could establish in AOTC's crawl that the Separatist movement has grown, and more planets are leaving the Republic to join them. The Republic has responded to this by creating an army of clones. The vote Padme returns to Coruscant for is about the deployment of the army. This could omit the entire mystery-that-isn't of Kamino, which would make the Jedi look smarter and leave more room for Anakin and Padme's story.
