Well, a friend of mine is planning to completely rewrite the prequels from scratch in novelized form, creating a completely new story that refers only to older material.  Will that do?  ;)

The idea is to complete the "trilogy of trilogies", with the original unaltered films being episodes four, five and six; the Thrawn books by Timothy Zahn as episodes seven, eight, and nine; and these being one, two, and three and written in a manner completely consistent with them.  I've been collaborating with him on his writing for nearly a year now, and I have complete confidence that he'll be able to pull this off—he's a very talented storyteller, and he shares my enthusiasm for oldschool Star Wars as well.

Now it's going to be a while before it's ready, as he's in the middle of another project and the prequel rewrite only exists in a general outline of ideas so far, but I can surely promise that it's going to be great.  :)
