I'm right with ya, die-jarjar-die. The prequels should lead the audience to believe that Anakin dies and the only thing that should be shown of the 'newest sith sidekick replacement' should be his black boots while just entering a hangar only to watch a jedi ship blasting off into hyperspace... the silence only broken up by the sound of a heavy breathing apparatus and an eerie feeling that someone is very pissed and then fade to black into end credits (homage to falcon escape on Hoth). The audience should also be lead to believe that the children died or are not really his children. So that all those revelations are saved for the original trilogy to first-time watchers.

Although I am a huge fan of the prequels, I think these things are poorly conceptionized when it comes down to GL's claim that "all six movies have to be perceived as one huge film" - heck, he even left out the jump-to-hyperspace cockpit view to preserve the wow effect of the original trilogy. The prequels are building far too much on the assumption that the audience already knows what transpired in the original trilogy.
