Count me interested. I'm working on and off on a re-imagining of the prequels, but this sounds like a complete re-imagining of the entirety of Star Wars, is that correct?
What is canon? Is it for example the canon of the original movie, where Darth Vader literally killed Luke's father, or is it Empire canon, where Vader is Luke's father, and Luke's sibling is being raised in secret on the other side of the galaxy, or is it something entirely different?
How developed is the storyline, and are you open to changes in the story?
It sounds like you are passionate about this project. However, if the story loosely follows the original trilogy, wouldn't it be considered a remake of the originals, and a CG/animated one at that? I'm just saying that it may be difficult to gain support for something on an original trilogy fansite that aims to "remake" the original trilogy.
Though I do applaud the decision to dispense with the prequels.
