Oh but I wasn’t answering to you with my post! Infact, You posted your text while I was writing mine.
I still don’t understand what reason would be strong enough to completely rewrite of half the saga to keep one moment safe.
I think the PT does need to be completely rewritten… because they suck.
Personally, I don’t think we need to keep any secrets hidden for reveals in the OT.
I asked the original question because some people (even someone major in my Star Wars movie watching life, Adywan) want to have the viewing order 1-6 but still keep the Vader/father reveal for ESB; but it’s ruined in ANH, and I don’t see a way around it. I would like the PT re-written, but not trying to keep any secrets hidden.
I think it would make a worse story if you’re trying to fulfill both goals at the same time. Just make the prequels a good story that you watch after the OT, and you’re golden.
This is exactly what I’m trying to say. One thing is to make them good, which seems hard enough. Other thing is to make them fit that moment in ESB. And one thing doesn’t necessarily guarantee the other.
The prequels sucked, yes. But not because they ruined ESB’s reveal.
