I would argue otherwise, anon. The IDEA is there but goddamn does it need a lot of editing and retooling in order for it to not be the smoking mess the prequels were.

There's actually a dude on youtube who's doing a series about 'what if the star wars prequels were good' and he basically does exactly this. He does quite a bit of retooling but he's certainly capturing the central themes and plots waaaaay better. Especially his main point: this should be OBI-WAN'S story with Anakin as co-protagonist.

I'm not sure if it should totally be Obi-Wan's story, if only because you want to preserve the drama of Anakin turning to the dark side, and I think it hits the audience harder if they're going NOOO DON'T DO IT not only for Obi-Wan's sake, but for Anakin's. In that sense, I would keep the general character emphases similar to what was in the movies - have Anakin gain more prominence as the story goes on, but I would definitely still keep Obi-Wan as a major player.

But yeah, it could have been so freaking epic. So heartbreaking. I wish we could hope for a do-over, but...

The dirty secret about Star Wars is that Lucas did not write or direct the best films of the series.

Yep. Lucas' ex-wife is the reason for a lot of the success.

Also Lawrence Kasdan and Irvin Kershner for Empire.
