The PT may have been better if it had nothing to do with the OT.
This is from WAY back but it sparked my imagination.
Imagine if the PT was an exciting tale of the fall of the Republic about all new characters, having adventures on all new worlds, and Obi-Wan, Skywalker, and Palpatine were all minor characters, like General Reiken, or Wedge.
That coulda bene fun.
