Stay away from massive metropolis', councils, politics that marked the PT.

<span style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.2em;">Go back to the Old West frontier in outer space atmosphere that characterized the OT.</span>

<span style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.2em;">And please dont flood the galaxy with Jedi.  They're too stoic and it made the PT too stoic.  Where was the comic relief?  Star Wars should be an escape and it should be light hearted and fun.  Stay away from the current hollywood trend that a darker mood is better.

Yes, the Jedi were pretty dour in the prequels. A lot of chin-stroking and sitting around. But, then again, if they were based on Buddhist monks then the depiction was spot-on. I always imagined Luke's Jedi would be much different.

As for comic relief, well...Jar Jar? Buzz droids? Threepio losing his head? All in all, the story of Anakin is a tragedy. I don't recall Macbeth being chock full of hilarious one-liners.
