There are a lot of "older" fans who love the PT and more than the OT. I know a guy who is turning 40 soon and he's obsessed the PT, specifically Darth Maul. He even has a tattoo of Maul on his shoulder. He likes Maul simply because he looks cool and has "epic" lightsaber moves. He doesn't see a thing wrong with either the PT or the OT, but prefers the PT over the OT. And, yes, he grew up with the OT.

In my opinion, it's fine to love the PT. It boggles my mind, but it doesn't infuriate me. Each to their own, I guess.

What I really hate is when people start bashing "prequel haters", as if there were no objective reasons to consider the PT inferior to the OT.

When I first opened this thread, I thought, "Cool." Then I read the replies and realized I had gone to the Jedi Temple Forums.

I don't know what the Jedi Temple Forums are about.

I probably wrote too much in the original post before I got to my main point - the idea of making a crowd-funded "purist" fan film to show what may have happened before the OT. I would like to keep this thread focused on this idea from now on.

By the way, no one has answered my initial questions yet: Has this idea been considered by anyone who has the time and ressources to put it into practice? Would it be feasible from a legal point of view?

From what I've read, Adywan has some interesting plans for the PT including filming some new scenes. Unfortunately, his PT won't happen for many years, but I'm sure it will be worth the wait. But I'm assuming his PT will not be intended to replace the actual films, but rather exist as fan edits, much like his Revisited versions. Only Disney and Lucasfilm have the power to replace the PT and it's very unlikely they'll do that.
