Episode 1
*Scrap Jar Jar
*Scrap Queen Amadala
*Have a Republican Fleet sent as a peacekeeping mission to a sector experiencing a bloody civil war involving Clones
*Have an eager young Jedi called Obi Wan (Age:29) on a Nebulon-B Class Frigate (Fuck prequel ships.) investigating a "disturbance in the force"
*meet a crack pilot called Anakin (Age: 19)
*Super Fun Adventure Time
*

Episode 2 should have been Anakin and Obi Wan winning the clone wars but Vadar and the Emperor Rise.

Episode 3 Should have been Vader hunting down the other Jedi

Add more Star Ship battles where you can actually tell what's going on.

Spend less time on ridiculous light sabre fights.

Have Yoda be a wise sage not a warrior.

I still like the idea of OB-1 Kenobi being a clone of the original Ben Kenobi. They could have killed Ben Kenobi in the prequels as a kind of twist, and they'd even have a moment where Anakin gets angry about something. To me, Anakin always felt inheritly evil in the prequels. Also a good chance to give all Sith a little depth, instead of "arrrgh, so evil"

Also, as far as I can see, the mediclorians have already been mentioned, and I guess we can all agree on that.

release the original version un-edited on DVD/BR along side the latest version or remake the originals keeping the script/dialogue intact without CGI like the originals the effects are going to be original (aliens are done as animatronics/puppets and explosions are done with models.)
it just looks weird seeing a storm trooper in 70,s quality riding a CGI monster.
that,s it

Would it REALLY be necessary to make ALL of the EU non-canon? Considering that KOTOR 1 + 2 take place long before the Original Trilogy, I don't think they interfere with the canon in any way.

I don't know what medium it would be, but it'd be the story of a young Jedi in the hight of the republic who realizes that both the Jedi and the Sith are totally wrong about the Force. It doesn't matter where you derive your power from, it only matters how you use it. Emotions are not something to be avoided and acts made for the self are not inherently bad.

This gives her powers unlike anything the Jedi have seen before, and it terrifies them. So they turn her into an operative of the council to take care of serious problems the order doesn't want their name on. Kind of like what Starkiller was to Vader in Force Unleashed.

Eventually she realizes the system cannot continue. The Sith are too chaotic and unstable to rule the galaxy effectively, while the Jedi are too scared of their power and blinded by their self-righteousness to do any real good. The only way to bring balance to the Force and preserve the peace is to destroy both orders forever.

She knows she can't simply attack them, so she comes up with a plan. She knows that someday someone else will inevitably realize the same truth she has. So she actually creates the legend of the prophecy about Anakin, a convergence in the Force just like her who will become a messianic figure for the Jedi. Her plan is that when this messiah arrives and tells the Jedi that he has realized they've been wrong since the beginning it will cause the order to fragment, just like if Jesus came back today and said that all the currently accepted interpretations of the Bible were wrong. The only thing she didn't count on was the Sith taking over before it ever got to come into effect, and the Jedi try to bury all knowledge that she ever existed.

That should totally erase the boring, pompous, two dimensional moralizing of the series without actually conflicting with any established events.

I'd announce the movies to be the new "EU" and the KotOR games to be the new "main star wars".
Also this.

DRAGONS!!!
Dragons make everything better, this is a fact proven by multiple studies and the omnipresent word of god.

They did it in ben 10, they can do it to star wars, I will not take any answer but yes.

Well maybe not that. I was mostly talking about the EU stuff that causes the most pissing and moaning which is mainly the books and stuff.
And while we're on the subject of KoTOR, I'd also get KoTOR III started immediately!!

Part of the problem is Star Wars shouldn't have an 'expanded universe', and despite what anyone says what does exist should not be considered 'canon' at all. I'm not saying it shouldn't exist, by all means create as much as you want, but recognize that while some of it may be good it's basically little more than officially licensed fanfiction.

And part of the problem with this is in creating an 'expanded universe' creative writers have to come up with ways creative ways to try and fix some of the many plot and setting holes. One of the reasons the movies were so charming is they weren't really very realistic, way back when Lucas set out to make a Buck Rogers type of movie, fun in space, sometimes cheesy, without much thought to realism. An expanded universe try's to correct this after the fact, they look at the semi-realism of Star Trek and feel they need to quantify things in a similar manner for Star Wars.

As for fixing the prequel movies, the only thing I can say is get Lucas' ex-wife back in the picture as an editor, proof reader, and someone to stand up to George's tyranny.

Actually now that I think about it, there are a number of creatures in the Star Wars Universe that could be called dragons (and a number that actually are). However the one I was talking about is this guy:
Star Wars Pokemon anyone?

First thing first I would get rid of the midiclorians.

Second thing is depend if I can alter the Star Wars universe, I will make the entire universe under one continuation. If they want the different "what if" it will be under a different brand name like now Marvel got the "Ultimate" series.

Third thing I would redo 1-3 but as in a aniamted movie (not anime). That way the acting would be better and the scenery is good and not in cgi. Also this way the team can plan stuff out more better (like making Anakin looking and sound more like a hero/ villain than a whiny kid).

I'd remake the prequals so they're just about Obi-wan and Anikan kicking ass all over the galaxy. No trade federation BS or scenes in the senate. Just those two guys being bros. Then cut out all the characters that didnt need origin stories like R2 and Boba Fett.

Keep the EU but get rid of the retarded stuff like the Emperor having clones and all the jedi being alive but just not doing anything for 20 years.

Make some sequals to the originals. Set it a few months after Return of the jedi so we see how the Empire is doing without its leaders. But have all new characters. Like a new jedi and some recruits.
check wookiepedia if you want to know what happens after ROTJ...its not pretty

honestly, the only change i would make is in the prequels, and even then i would just want to eliminate many of the attempts to tie EVERYTHING from the original trilogy. C3-PO should have not shown up, R2 has an excuse because he was mentioned to have knowledge of Obi-wan in episode 4.

now i really can;t get into detail about it all since i haven't seen the movies in a couple years, but annoying stuff like Boba-fett and what not was not needed, however i LOVED Jango-fett, (And the Game cube game Bounty Hunter) but yes that sort of thing were they flt they had to give back story on every last thing, that's where the prequels really fell on their ass the focus was to broad, it needed more focus, but i still like some of the political drama and the rise of the empire, just not all the unnecessary Back ground.

I'd make a KotOR movie.
Split the plot of the first game into three movies.
Bam, done, I'll take my vast amount of money check now.

Using the modern technology of carried over saves... set up a new non-canonized trilogy based on just Revan.
Edit: well if its just movie wise.... i'd just use Old Republic era as a base.

Id have a title card before the 20th century logo even came on and it would say:

"Will you fucking fan boys quit bitching and be glad the movies exist? Especially since YOU keep paying to see them."

that is a better way to do the prequels, they should have made Star Wars 1,2,3 like...4,5,6.
