As someone said (don't remember who), you can conceive of part 1 as a low-budget grindhouse flick that enjoys unexpected success, leading to a higher budget and mainstream distribution for the sequel.
That was me. :) And after some thought, I could see part 2 as a critical success but financial flop, hence the (SPOILER * SPOILER * SPOILER-ish...) cliffhanger ending that will likely go unresolved.
I absolutely love thinking like this. Maybe another director, inspired by the movies his whole life, recasts the roles and makes his vision for part 3?

Do the current covers for these edits follow this alternate universe line of thinking? Don't mention "Star Wars" or that it's a fan edit, but that someone has tried to preserve these lost movies, etc.

Since part 2 ends with a major character in a black robe... my first thought was Anakin Skywalker, hood up, on mustafar when he first entered the seperatist hideout... a seed of an idea? I don't know!
