Greetings my fellow fanboys!
I am new to this site but can see i am not the only one bursting with ideas and frustrated by plot holes. So far there seems to be a number of plot points we all agree with in general:
1: Darth Maul kept and developed.
2: The paternity secret must be preserved, perhaps using a "decoy vader" apprentice.
3: Obi-Wan and Anakin are our main characters, Alderann and Bail Organa feature prominently.
I read somewhere that Obi-Wan should eventually defy the Jedi order in order to train (continue training) Anakin. I can't remember who wrote it or where but this is genius as it compounds Obi-Wans guilt in the O.T.
Also someone mentioned a second (i.e. multiple) clone wars. This is another excellent point as otherwise there is no need to refer to the clone wars as plural.
My outline so far is as follows
No episode one/phantom menace.
Episode one: the clone wars
Episode two: dawn/rise of the empire (which do ye prefer?)
Episode three: revenge of the sith.
I'l post an outline soon but I would like to hear preferences for the second episodes title: Rise or Dawn?
