So we are to suspend belief and pretend that Liam Neeson is Anakin? Correct me if this is not what you are suggesting.

If that is the closest that technology will allow us to achieve then yes. Ideally I think it would be better if we could replace the actors as suggested, but like people have pointed out this whilst not impossible would be very difficult. More possible would be filming a new actor as a young Anakin, which I wouldn't object to given the poor acting at present. But again it would be difficult without a lot of money. Accepting a 'recast' Anakin between episodes 1 and 2, whilst not ideal would be the easiest to achieve from an editing point of view as it would only require a few name changes.

I can see you think this is ridiculous, and I'm not presenting it as a small thing. But personally I think the existing prequel storyline is ridiculous (given the source material from the original trilogy). Therefore, I'm saying the benefits might outweigh the problems. I did say from the outset it was going to contain radical ideas :)
