Ok, 2 things up front:
-I loved the Original Trilogy: I first saw 'Star Wars' prenatally (didn't remember much). I had a Han Solo costume (ok, it was a jean-jacket vest) and collected the Kenner Action Figures with gusto--I wasn't that kid that everyone knew who had All of them, plus the C3P0-head container that would store them, but I knew Bosc from Snaggletooth from an Ugnaugt.
-After seeing 'A Phantom Menace', I will not be duped again & as such have seen not one jot or tittle of 'Attack of the Clones', will not see Episode 3 (& invite all of good character to join me in this).

At any rate, after warming then alienating (ha!) my readers, allow me to get down to the meat of this post:

Ever since seeing 'Episode I' (my strongest reaction being, "I've re-watched the Original Trilogy so many times; but I can't see wanting to watch this ever again"), I've had 3-6 dreams about watching 'Episode I' for the first time, and it being a completely different and good movie. I'm not sure if this is an isolated phenomenon, but even if it is, I'd like to share a few of the Alternate Reality Episode 1s:

Starting with some plot points from last night's Dream of Episode I:

-There is a shot of the villains dumping failed guards into a pit of little violently carnivoristic beasties, which quickly devour it leaving only its armor.

-There is another 'race through the superstructure of a base/ship and destroy it' sequence, except this time it's a very small base (perhaps an early Star Destroyer or something) and the ships involved are more one-man capsules rather than space-ship looking things. Also, the claustrophobic vents they fly down is shifting slightly all the way as the bad guys try to get it shut down before they hit the reactor.

-Ok, so the girl from the Stargate TV series is in it, which is a little distracting & makes one think of another series; however, there ARE laserblasting sequences where there is tension/where people are forced to change directions, rather than the battle on the Nabooian Castle, where (when things get rough) the characters punch in a cheat-code & grappling hook to the next level.

-Ah, & pre-fall Darth Vader encounters something different that legitimately makes Jedi wonder if he should be trained: he is sucked out an airlock in a spacesuit (I forget why he was wearing it; in the Prequels as written, of course, the Jedi probably carry portable fully-vacuum-sealed suits in their pockets, and can summon them at the press of a button a-la Joey Tribiani's battle-armor from 'Lost In Space'). Perhaps this is when he's being brought to the Jedi council, or perhaps its as a young worker (employment a-la "Titan AE"?), but he spends maybe a few days completely alone in the void before they manage to track him down; yet he seems alright. Maybe a little TOO alright.

Other dreamed-versions have been more space-ship based, with large atmosphereless space-landing-platforms that try to tractor-beam in Millennium Falcon like ships and dramatic flying/space battles
(hint: drama isn't testing your computer's load-tolerance for putting laser-blasts in a scene; drama is better done with a sane amount of lasers and blasts, but A FEW FRIGGIN PROTAGONISTS GETTING HIT BY ONE. Jeb Porkins, you will be missed).

Closing note: I read an interview/comment that the Ewoks were supposed to originally be Wookies, and that Lucas's vision for 'Return of the Jedi' was a primitive society throwing off the shackles of their high-tech oppressors, and they were changed FROM Wookies because we saw Chewbacca being too high-tech during the movies, and we needed a new true-primitive species.

This same concept (primitive, honest hand-grown folks versus unfeeling technology) was evidently so important to Lucas that 'Phantom Menace' ends with a thematically similar Gugans-vs-Robots battle. I think that, in this spirit, Lucas would salute us (the primitive, resource-less folks) for, by apathy and financial neglect, doing our part to overcome/at least not support the unfeeling high-techiness of the Prequels. The End.

I would reply on all these points, but I'm too lazy. So I'll just say your idea would make a much better movie.

Bravo. That is perhaps the best commentary on the prequels that I've read yet. Very true.

Also, most of the quickly written descriptions of your subconscious dreams about Star Wars sequels do seem to be more interesting than the ideas presented by Lucas.

Go figure.
