If Disney sees a clear and strong desire from the fans to see another take on the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker, I see no reason for them not to remake this absolute train-wreck of a trilogy. If idiots are allowed to remake classics like Psycho without people reaching for their pitchforks then I really see no “moral” reasons for not remaking the Star Wars prequels. No one owes George Lucas anything since he doesn’t respect the fans OR the very talented people who made the original trilogy what it once was, before the dark times, before… The special editions. Before that indecisive megalomaniac started going back and forth, slicing up, adding to, removing again, changing a thing here and a thing there - all to better fit his “artistic vision”, removing some classic scenes that were shot using real practical models that were made by masters that even received an Oscar for these effects. Without any regard to what anyone else thought he just changed them for CGI versions instead.

So poking around in what should be considered finished parts of the Star Wars cannon and not even have the courtesy to release the originals as they were, as we remember and love them - kinda’ sealed the deal for me regarding this issue. Remake them completely. Start from scratch and try to limit any possible influence from George’s version that might still be lingering in the back of our minds.
