Ways to Do the Prequels with No Spoilers for the OT.
Time

I think you're in the wrong thread. ;)

The purpose of this thread is to come up with prequel synopses that don't spoil the surprises in later episodes, allowing them to be watched by first-time viewers in episode order, which seems to be what George Lucas intended. Obviously that doesn't work very well with the prequels we have, but I think we could have been given prequels that worked as part of the saga and not just as prequels, if that makes sense.

But the whole point would be to throw people off a bit. Rather than ruining the reveal in Episode V, the idea is that it might even be more shocking to find out who Vader is if we have been mislead (though there would be clues along the way, and foreshadowing, but not obvious enough that one could easily figure it out).

EDIT: And the point would not be to confuse people, but to mislead them, until they have a moment of "now everything makes sense--I can't believe I didn't figure this out before" after the surprise of the reveal in ESB.

My apologies if this has been posted before.  I've never cared for the idea that Dooku was trained by anyone other than Yoda; the novels establish that his master was Thame Cerulean.  Although Yoda participated in the training of many Jedi (as evidence by his teaching a group of Younglings), Attack of the Clones established that Dooku had been his Padawan.  The mention of another master for Dooku seems redundant and unnecessary.

 It is also implied in the OT that Obi-Wan was Yoda's padawan.
