I think if someone would just write a draft, maybe we could take it from there.

Work has been hectic this week. But last night I was able to read through this entire post. What at first I thought were a lot of similarities to what I had in my mind I guess didn't end up being so as I read further. But it's a shame that my vision follows more closely to the people that really don't post here anymore.

I was surprised more progress hadn't been made, the first post was a year ago I think? But it is tough, 3 movies is a lot of material. At first I wanted to make scripts until I sat down to do it and realized that it's a ton of work. One movie okay, but 3? That's when I just decided to work on stuff when I had time.

The reason I was excited about this post though was the willingness to throw the prequels out entirely. Usually, "rewriting the prequels" is people deciding to take out Jar Jar. That's just editing. Of course, throwing them out also means more work. I'm also from the camp that they were meant to be seen in order (hence, the episodes) and plot twists should be preserved. New characters should be made, and only the necessary ones used. I also think the movies should stand on their own like the first ones were able to. I also think the movies should be character-driven with galactic affairs happening in the background. Oh, and of course, nothing should conflict - (looking at you George).

My notes are at home and I'll try to post after work. Curious, what happened to the script that was being written?

Note: I found it interesting that everyone here thought that Anakin should be a pilot on a spice freighter. That actually was just what Owen had told Luke, it wasn't the truth. "That's just what your uncle told you."
