We need a good time machine so we can go back in time and show George Lucas just what a shitty set of prequels he was going to make in the future and how he should hire Michael Barryte to help him make them better. Cause the version of Episode 1 that he describes in the following video is one I would’ve been amazingly happy with.

Doesn’t that sound like it would’ve been awesome? Darth Maul being a bad-ass for several movies, Obi-wan having some reason to be pissed off, Anakin not being some obnoxious little kid. What’s not to like?
Ha, if this were true I might have had to switch from being a trek fan to a wars fan.
One issue; Jedi aren’t allowed to become “emotionally attached” to things. So the whole “hate Darth Maul” arc wouldn’t fit right.
But then again, Midi-chlorians fit into the Star Wars universe about as well as Jar-Jar.
