Guys,

The only problem I have here is that no matter how you change or reboot or create a new prequel trilogy entirely, the basic fact of the prequel story is that it is a backstory to the original trilogy. It is not meant to be filmed. It is a bad decision on George's part to attempt to film it. The backstory is rather a huge story which explains why the original trilogy was so good. If you want to film it, then there would have to be far more than just 3 films to make the story credible. The same with The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. They are so good because of its even more huge backstory. There is no way you can film the books that predates the two main story (ie. the appendices of Lotr and The Silmarillion etc.).

It is best to just leave the prequel and the original trilogy alone and move on. (Well restoring the Original Trilogy to its original unaltered theatrical version and just clean it up is something Disney can do no problem and release it again in the cinemas and DVD and blu-ray. This would be a MAJOR victory for us after all.) You can reboot the prequel trilogy but how can you cast Iain McDiarmid as the younger Emperor Palpatine again? In my opinion he was (along with Liam Neeson) the best actor. He will not act again and he has grown too old now. He did an excellent job in the prequel trilogy which I think saved it to some extent.

I hope that George Lucas who created Star Wars in the first place and who deserves our respect has finally seen sense and sold it to others to do what they wish with it.

It is now high time for us to petition and persuade Disney to realise our long-held wishes!

I just hope that the next sequel trilogy does not disregard or contradict all the novels and comics that took place after ROTJ.

Plus, has anyone seen the new Star Trek reboot? Not bad eh?! Anything can be done these days. But personally I would not reboot episodes 4 to 6. They are far too good, too original and too classic to be changed at all. I absolutely love episodes 4 to 6 and grew up with them. I can't understand why people don't like ROTJ. It is a fitting conclusion to the whole Saga.

This is why anyone who watches Star Wars must watch the original trilogy first as the main story and then the prequel trilogy next (if they so wish) as a sort of reference films. This is my opinion anyway.
