I think many of the points made here are the start to making these films watchable (though complete remakes are probably the better way to go). If we're going to try to salvage what's already there, I agree with everyone's points about trying to keep some secrets and make it a succinct story in Episode order. I hate that GL had such little respect for his fans that he included every possible spoiler he could in EpIII, save Young Han Solo. Hey, whatever lets him wrap this thing up and make a ton of cash is all that matters.

I agree that we should nix Padme's "losing the will to live", for all the previously mentioned reasons. Also, I wouldn't address Leia at all. Maybe reveal that Padme's having twins; no genders, she doesn't name them, but we see Ben taking Luke to Owen and Beru. That at least leaves the question mark of "who is Luke's twin?" until we get to the reveal in RotJ.

As far as Anakin, lots of great ideas here, though some will be difficult to pull off. I have a few thoughts about how to rework the story, but it's probably more than a Revisited effort. Can anyone recommend a good thread for script re-write/new story ideas?
