What did the Prequel Trilogy need?

Superb! Thanks for that!

I feel the same - the content of the PT wouldn't necessarily be such a problem if it wasn't for the woeful execution of the thing.

Now, as we've drawn a line under that, I'd like to post some further work on my PT project. I've decided to start episode I after Palpatine has become President of the Republic and wars are breaking out all over the place. I plan to keep the 'opening crawl' of the movies and have them as prologues before each novel. This, then, is my attempt at an opening crawl for episode I:

The Old Republic is being torn apart. Spies and assassins are wreaking havoc among the star systems, causing ancient grudges to flame into war.

The Galactic Senate is descending into anarchy as the conflicts erupt. In desperation, the senators are appealing for direct action from the President of the Republic.

The Jedi Order, guardians of peace in the galaxy, have dispatched a group of Knights to find the source of the dark agents and bring them to justice....

All comments welcome!

I have started a thread, called 'A revised saga...', in the 'Fan Fiction' forum on outerrimsieges.com, where I will also be posting ideas for people to respond to. I've put up a basic plot for the political situation at the time of my version of the PT.

I'm quite pleased with the way things are going. I'm getting a much clearer idea of the overall setting of the PT. Once I have that in place, I can start focusing on the characters we are going to follow. After that, it will be a case of deciding on the sections that will become episodes I to III. Hopefully, I will then be in a position to start writing.

I'm so, so sorry, GT.

Sorry everyone! I was wrong to think I could be cool. That's why I don't have my own thread...

Assuming is for people who don't know what they are talking about.

If knowing what you are talking about isn't important to you, then assume the worst and get all bent out of shape for reasons that might not even be the case.

I just don't see the upside to that I guess.
So shut up and let us get on with it! Your arrogance is breathtaking!

Because there's no reason why we shouldn't!!

If you've got evidence proving that we have wronged Luca$h or Mr. Peterson in some awful way, then post it. But don't you assume that we have evidence to produce on your demand. All this is is an exchange of opinions. Get off your high horse.
