I've read plenty of stuff saying that the PT sucked and could have been better....so let's hear some ideas.
Get serious about it. Write a short treatment for each episode and post it, if you dare. Even better, if you think you can improve the OT, post that too (espcially ROTJ).
Even if you have just some little ideas, let's hear them.
Here's mine for ROTS:
I think it would have worked better if Palpatine would have been working Anakin up and then putting him in that position on the Jedi Council like he did, then naturally tempted Anakin with the power to save Padme...only to secretly inform the Jedi about Anakin's marriage to Padme and her pregnancy, of course. Anakin would have been expelled from the Jedi and then is some sort of incident, Padme would have been killed and it would have looked to Anakin that the Jedi did it. Naturally, he would have gone ape shit on the Jedi, turned to the dark side and killed everyone. But we see that Yoda actually made off with Padme to Dagobah, she has the twins, dies in childbirth. Yoda gives Leia to Organa and then after the big duel, Obi goes to Dagobah where Yoda gives him Luke and tells him to go to Tatooine.
I left out a bunch of stuff, but you get the idea. Doesn't have to be perfect, but give it a shot. I think we'll find that there was infinitely better ideas than what Lucas did.
And if anyone want to post a totally reworked storyline of the whole saga....I would love to read it.
