Who should the villain(s) of the sequel trilogy be? (if the sequel trilogy has villains)

I still think that an ideal villain is Leia.  In a way, it's a chance for the idea of the prequels to be redeemed... that is, unlike PT Anakin, we actually LIKE Leia. For her to turn to the dark side would be tragic.  Also, I can see her made up like the Emperor, shrieking maniacally - would be scarier than the Emperor, actually.

 What were the questions again?

 

Obfuscating mammal! For your insolence, you will be taken to Draco Prime and placed in the hybridization pens, where you will be forced to breed with our females

and give birth to the resulting offspring

 Where are you going with this...thing?

This is a general message to the people of Naboo from the Draconian Fleet. Due to the ridiculousness of Ric Olié, we have decided to skip the infiltration and gradual suborning of your world in favour of all-out planetary invasion. As you can already tell, we have set jammers in place, preventing all transmission from Naboo (It also makes it a pain in the ass to talk to you, as well, but that's neither here nor there).

Star Wars THX "Faces" DVD Covers (Finished)
Time

bkev said:

I've always really liked these covers for some reason. Very elegant and restrained, even though they're much like the photoshop jobs people despise so much today.

I think they work because, unlike most photoshopped covers today where every tiny little space is crammed with some lacquered floating head, they're very minimalistic; there's a big head off to the right side, a tiny little shot taken from the movie to the left, and that's all -- the rest is a simple yet stylish black.

Hi, there, Ric. My name is David Icke, and I've got two questions for you.

1. Are there any non-Gungan Reptilians stationed in hiding on your planet?

2. If not, can I come to your planet and pave the way for my people's coming invasion and your subsequent subjugation?

Sick of Star Wars Prequel bashing....
Time

To me the thing was with II and III we were supposed to like and sympathize with Anakin.  It would be like losing a member of our family like Rick M said.

It should have been about choices and the slow seduction to evil by slowly making him make compromises which ultimately undermine the person he once was.  But he never really was that noble idealized individual  we thought he was, it was all lies by Obi Wan to train Luke to be a weapon to destroy his own father.

Based on the poor way the prequels came out i believe Anakin in Episode III the Jedi are Evil.  Obi Wan is the most vile and evil person imaginable and so is Yoda. 

Luke is just a pawn in their quest to defeat the Sith and Palpatine and cover up their failings. 

Had Luke known the truth he would have no more joined the sith than the jedi maybe he would have learned the force  and wiped both of them out as they were both clearly evil and manipulative in seeking their own ends.

Both Sects of the same religious dogmatism and clearly both placed themselves above people.

This is why I don't adhere to the principle of canon -- if I had to accept every aspect of any given fictional universe as "real", I'd never be able to like or enjoy any of them at all.
