I’d replace ROTJ with a good movie.

Why would you replace a good movie with a good movie?

I would digitally erase all the changes

Basically I’d pull a Harmy

Thats basically what I said but I was told there was no need to respond to the question.

Because the thread asks for a change you would do for your own SE, not a change you would to to the SE.

Ceci n’est pas une signature.

And I’m still the winner.

Well, since reading comprehension is so difficult, you’re competing against a very low number of entries.

Shoot new sequences for the prequels with new characters to make them fit with the originals.

Hey, no one said it had to be a Special Edition of the OT.

Continuing with that theme, I would update some of the CGI in the prequels.

The prequels could have flawless effects and they would still be absolutely terrible movies.

Of course, but better to improve what you can.

^ Talk about throwing out the baby with the bathwater, where the bathwater is the Prequels, and the baby is my sanity.

Unfortunately I had to say I would just scrap the entire thing altogether and start over from scratch.

That is the only way to fix the prequels.

Really, though, I’m just not a big fan of prequels in general so I never thought this was a story that even needed to be told. There are two problems common to all prequels:

  1. You already know how the story is going to end. Not only does this make for some pretty unsuspenseful watching, the fact that it HAS to end in a set spot and things HAVE to play out a certain way to be consistent also limits the filmmakers’ options greatly, and thus the films inevitably feel much less creatively inspired than the original films did.
  2. You will constantly be comparing the events of the prequels to your own ideas of how they played out in your head. Usually your head wins out, and that was especially the case with Star Wars.

I still think it was interesting story that could have been told well.
