I think that this thread (and this website in general) is awesome. I was horrified by the prequels and not only think that they are some of the worst films ever made, but will be some of the worst movies EVER made. I think that this site is important.

But I want to start all signing on to the same thing so that we can get this thing moving.

I have one point that I think all of us should sign on to:

(1)

Some of the better ideas I read about have to do with a (forgive the noun) "alien" force threatening the republic. The problem with this is that if there is no "outside" power mentioned in any of the OT movies. And it does not make sense that, if such a power had existed, it would just show up and collapse without a trace. For this reason I think we should adopt as a rule that:

the Anti-Republic force MUST consist of political elements and species that exist in the OT.

How about Rodians?

I agree about it being a 'domestic' threat. But we're not much for accepting rules, everyone follow their own ideas. I don't really like the idea of it being one particular species (though I have considered trandoshans) because it creates a stigma for every member of that species - dramatically changing our view of Greedo or Bossk or whatever species we choose. I edited by first post in this thread to update my thoughts on what the clone wars are about.
