I wander if this sort of reveal will have any input in ady's version of PT...

 

I honestly like how things were fleshed out in this alternate past, as well as is revealed in the novels.  Obviously only so much can be done with existing material, but I hope Ady does his best to follow this as faithfully as possible.

In my ideal PT Yoda isn't even in it.

We are are obviously meant to be surprised by Yoda's appearance inESB so the PT spoils the surprise.

PT ruins a lot of things, even if it is watched in correct order (that is after OT).

In my opinion, the whole idea of direct prequels is stupid. When you watch OT your imagination makes a picture of what happened before (for example when Obi-Wan is telling Luke about the past). Then the prequels are going to compete with that imagination and people will be disappointed, naturally. Not to mention PT trying explain stuff from OT and ruining things (midichlorians crap etc.)

A distant prequel is far better idea (KOTOR game for example).

I agree...and I disagree.  I mean, every story really could have a prequel.  Every character has unexplored backstory.  Usually it's not necessary for a good story to have a followup that explains the past.  But sometimes it's nice to have.  I craved the PT for so long, and I believe that while it wasn't necessarily needed, it could have still been a wonderful tale.
