There seems to be some debate over how much of the PT is salvageable.
Here's an idea: Change Episode IV to Episode I, Episode V to Episode II, and Episode VI to Episode III.
Then, make an Episode IV that uses the best footage from the PT as a flashback.
You can start this new "Episode IV" with Luke and Obi-wan in Obi-wan's home on Tatooine and start the first flashback sequence just after "...and he was a good friend."
Scenes from the OT can drive what's shown. For instance, a flashback sequence to the birth of Luke and Leia can be shown after showing the clip of Leia claiming that she can remember her mother in ROTJ.
There's a lot of wiggle-room with this idea since it gives Adywan the ability to pick-and-choose what's best to show from the PT, as he'd be cutting 6+ hours down to 2.
Plus, it'd be great for us OT fans since scenes from the OT would be used to drive the story.
What do ya'll think?
Good Idea, but revisited team want to do 4 more films and remake a film ANH:R in HD....
Adywan obviously really wants to do the Prequel Trilogy Justice and make it better and as he quoted unrecognizable.
But I actually don't want him to spend years and years working on something other than the OT...
But in the same hand after looking at ATOC and ROTS when you cut the crap out they can be one film and if you simply stick the duel of qui-gon + obi-wan and Darth Maul you have the whole plot really.
Any scenes from tattooine in TPM can be told in flashback that are a little heartwarming or nice to show anakins mother etc. But it's still not neccasary.. Because she had so little screen time nobody cared anyway.
There is a shot where qui-gon puts his hand on Anakins mothers shoulder and says we will come back to free you... and Anakin exclaims before he leaves tattooine I will come back to free you.
Next thing you know Anakin is there while she dies and it was 10 years ago. Makes no sense.
What a bunch of crap
