the title might be a bit confusing; i dont mean that the OTL Star Wars films go from Episode 6 to Ep5 and so on down to Ep1, but rather that, instead of OTL's Original Trilogy coming first, OTL's Prequel Trilogy is made and released in theaters starting in 1977. the films are released in this order with virtually the same plotlines and significance to the larger story:
The Phantom Menace (1977)
Attack of the Clones (1980)
Revenge of the Sith (1983)
A New Hope (1986)
The Empire Strikes Back (1989)
Return of the Jedi (1992)
what changes would have to be made to the story in order to accommodate for the effects of the time. one example which comes to mind is that Jar-Jar and the entire Gungan species would look radically different from OTL (and the racist connections that people made probably wouldnt exist). additionally, what other actors could play the different characters given the difference of the era, what changes would be made to those characters themselves, as well as the setting and story, and what effects does everyone think all this would have on the world outside of the Star Wars franchise? because like it or not, Star Wars has been massively influential upon popular culture
