I know that it’s very early (and years away) to be talking about this now, but this goes out to Adywan.

I was reading in the links below about the changes you’ll be making for the PT:R and I was really impressed with the direction it’ll be going, but the changes that really stuck out to me were of creating new voice dubs and of reassembling the stories down to their basics.

Over the years I’ve been reading books from Joseph Campbell who was a major influence on Lucas in writing the story & characters for the OT and many of the themes of his works are present in ANH, ESB, and the ROTJ scenes involving Luke, Darth Vader, and the Emperor; these themes are an influence that I’ve always believed were heavily lacking in the Prequels and why on a script/writing level the films suffered.

If you get the chance over the years, I recommend taking a look into reading these books like “The Hero with a Thousand Faces” and “The Masks of God” for ideas in reassembling the stories for the PT:R as many of the themes/ideas from the OT that made it what it is today originated from these subjects and can do a lot of influence for reshaping the structure of the stories to what you’re trying to create.

I know it’ll be years from now before taking this into consideration, but hopefully this is something you can have filed away until the time comes.
