An idea I was thinking about for improving the prequels...

I was just thinking today about what they did with the english version of Robotech, where they created a coherent storyline (well, sort of) out of three different Japanese television programs.... and how it would be cool to maybe take the prequels one step further than simple fan edits and actually create an entirely new movie out of them using bits and pieces of the films with perhaps re-worked space battles (using models, or computer generated bits that actually look good... perhaps more like Battlestar Gallactica does).

The more I thought about the idea, though, the problems that would arise make it basically impossible to do... Dialogue/voiceacting is kind of difficult, unless one were able to redo the voice acting in a different language (perhaps a made up one) with subtitles... and I'm sure not many people have the time/energy to do all this stuff (I certainly don't).

I really like the idea of fanedits, but of the ones I have seen, none have really been able to save the films enough to make them watchable at all for me.

Perhaps something more like the Clone Wars cartoons is more realistic, although animation is equally time-consuming and requires a lot of people with a lot of talent.

Sigh.

Eh, nevermind. This is dumb and I'm sure someone has already thought of it and in a much more intelligent fashion.
