I did a little thinking lately ... as in most conversations the Jedi in PT seem rather bad people, at least for the casual viewer, they don't do much good in saving the universe or single persons (Shmi, Padme ...)
So I thought, why don't turn the PT around? this idea comes from the fact, we got this "Godfather" montage, where Palpatine gets rid off his enemies: the Jedi.
maybe the PT could be a better trilogy if it was about him: "Sidious" - his quest for domination and his revenge (another thing many like to point out, what the Sith want "revenge" for?)
I do believe many like stories like "Breaking Bad", "Sopranos" or "Boardwalk Empire" - so we could follow this ambitious senator (the parallels to a roman emperor are easy to see) - yes he could think he does "good", but in reality his lust for power divides the galaxy ...
Even the "revenge" part could be better than "because they killed other Sith" - why don't we make it personal? maybe the Jedi killed his sister or spouse? (then we would have a bait for Anakin, for his turning)
Too dark or too ambiguous?
