I imagine most, if not all of us are excited at the prospect of PT:R (even if it's many years away) but the general mission statement of this thread is to work out ideas.
If Ady likes some of these ideas I hope he runs with them (I'm sure he has loads already) but it's not the PT:R thread (there isn't even an ROTJ:R thread yet as Ady is still working hard on ESB:R as much as he currently can).
It's for anyone to use, some of those ideas have already been (either independent of this thread or part inspired by it) become re-edit projects, some on the way, some already complete.
Mr Frink has a fine list of edits most of which came before or were independent of this thread and they continue to serve as inspiration for the ideas on here because we can see what has already been proven to work and where there may be room for continued improvement.

This thread is more to do with ideas that really shake up the prequels than nibble at the edges so your ideas are very welcome on here.
Don't think we are trying to shoot any of your ideas down or that you are shooting anyone else's down.
Talking things through promotes creativity and points up holes in reworking the stories just as well if not better than sitting at mixing desk or pushing pixels around.
Let's face it if George had spent more time trying to think the PT through it wouldn't be the mess a lot of us think it currently is.
I for one am very keen to hear how you would work your clone tech story line into TPM.
Hopefully by talking it through it can be developed into a much more solid story thread than the taxation of trade routes.
Yeah true enough... I'm still gonna lay low concerning topics or ideas here cos if I decide to engage someone on a possible hole in the plots then it may just go too far. Not saying I don't have self control or anything it's just that if I only half heartedly make my statements then it just seems I'd only half heartedly support my own thoughts what ever they maybe. I get excited like everyone else and I can rant for days. This is the trouble with knowing way too much info and wanting to spill it in one all encompassing post.
I'm sure there are things all of us want to see (or not see) and for TPM it'll take the most work because of that. Then again it'll be at least 4 or 5 years before Ady get to that so who know what will happen between now and then. Although I think Ady and his squad of wizards definitely could fill in a hole in TPM vacated by wiping the Gungans out... lol.
Sorry if bringing up Ady's work is repetitive but at least to me and my squadron, they've done the impossible and I think they may even out do themselves with ESB:R (and that's saying something, trust me on this one... XD). With that in mind I would love to see a story for TPM:R that is possible and actually make sense while focusing on the major plots going on with Anakin's story arc and the galaxy as a whole. Thus me being overly excited for everything Revisited since being asked to help by Ady is making me think impossible things are possible. It's what Rogues do best after all. XD
