If you had to have one OT backstory ruined by Lucas, who would it be?

Imagine you could have a talented director makes the prequels, but you would have to sacrifice one backstory to the devil himself, George Lucas. Who would you pick?

I think it would be Boba Fett for me. He is the definition of overrated. He’s cool, but not that cool and does nothing except help find Han Solo.

EDIT: Choose a major and/or popular character.

I think you’ll find your wish to have Fett’s backstory ruined was granted if you watch Attack of the Clones.

Unfortunately the sacrifice was in vain.

Fett serves as a Mirror for Han’s progress ( in ESB he does). He is the anti-Han. George screwed that up in 1983. For me not having Vader as the saber wielding Jedi killer in the numbered prequels was a dumb move. I didn’t want to see Yoda and Palpatine bash sticks. I wanted to see what Ben was remembering when he talked about Vader hunting down and destroying the Jedi. Grevious should have been Vader. Anakin should have adopted the persona. Only without the stupid look and cough.

I’m sorry, what?

What’s up with these “if you could only pick one” threads? Single special edition change you’d keep? Single special edition change you’d remove? It’s as though you’re about to be dismembered and the executioner asks you “which limb would you like to keep?”. Impossible it is to choose a single problem to take away from the prequels and SEs, because it’s the sum of everything that makes them crap.

As for the topic in question, does it pertain to backstory that was ruined or anything you can think of? In the latter case, one could simply “win” by picking the story of some background character. I bet nobody would flip out if they discovered Dr. Evazan was IG88’s lover.

If it’s the former, however, I suppose I’d pick Palpatine since it was the charcter whose dignity was hurt the least.
