I don't even understand why someone would want to "de-canonize" the PT or the Clone Wars. It would just add more mess to the whole thing in the mind of the audience. It would look like they do not know what they're doing. They'd de-canonize some of the movies of the series to remove some concepts that some fans don't like so they could...what? It does not make any sens. Not only from a marketing point of view but also from a storytelling point of view. You can't tell the audience a tale, then, when you arrive to some chapters, sundenly say "wait, no, forget about those early chapters I told you before. What I really wanted to tell you is THIS." It would look so unprofessional... So bad. It would be WAY worse than keeping the PT the way they are and find good stories to tell anyway. THAT would look professional, and maybe working with some concepts that you don't like much can lead to some creativity.

What if they want to tell a story in which someone who wasn't born special decides that they want to use The Force? What if they want to tell the story of how Palpatine taught himself how to use The Force?

Then just find other stories to tell. That's what I meant by creativity. I prefer keeping the PT as are and where they are (in the past) and find new stories that don't go against either the PT or the OT and use the better elements of both trilogies (so obviously less PT and more OT...). In other words: better go foward than turning the knife in the wound by "de-canonizing" the PT just because we don't like them. It would really looks like a bad move to me. Just think about the kids who grew up with the PT and love them. It would be worse for them than what the Special Edition is for us.

Now, I would like to see what Adywan can do with the PT! But that's another story!
