So, when Lucas releases his next set of Super Special Final Ultimate I-Really-Really-Mean-It-This-Time Editions, what kind of changes do you think he should include? Personally I've come to the conclusion that he should simply go the whole hog and rewrite the entire trilogy so that it actually fits in with the PT. If we can't have
good movies, we may as well have consistent ones.
So, here are my suggestions for PT-compatible rewrites of OT scenes:
ANHQUOTE
LUKE: No, my father didn't fight in the wars. He was a navigator on a spice freighter.
BEN: That's what your uncle told you. I've no idea why, as he barely knew your father at all. Certainly not well enough to know what his ideals were, or whether he should have stayed here instead of following me on some damned-fool idealistic crusade... not that I ever actually went on any damned-fool idealistic crusades, of course.
RotJQUOTE
BEN: When I first saw the results of your father's blood test, I was amazed how high his Midichlorian count was. Even so, I didn't really want to train him - I thought he was dangerous. I only did it because my idiot of a Master made me promise on his deathbed. So, you see, none of it was really my fault at all.

LUKE: Leia... do you remember your mother? Your real mother?
LEIA: Not in the slightest. She died thirty seconds after I was born.
LUKE (disappointed): Oh.
Any more suggestions?

The sandpeople had women and children. We know this because Anakin killed them how could he tell? The children might be smaller but I never saw a sandperson with breasts. Did they hike their skirts and show him some leg or something?

Also, I can see the point of wanting to kidnap a human and use her as a slave, but they didn't. They tied her to a flimsy easel for a month. It's assumed they had to feed and give her water. What for? Was she purely ornamental? I can understand them wanting the droids, you can sell those for a lot of money, but a chick who's only skills are finding non-existand mushrooms and getting randomly pregnant, you're not going to get much.
