As some may know, but most won't, it's a dream of mine to eventually draw and write a comic doing my version of the prequel trilogy. And I decided long ago to do this acting as if this was filmed in the late 80s and early 90s for a few reasons, the overall being I think it was possible (if Lucas had not given up due to marital problems getting to him) and would have been better.

Why do I think it would have been better? For the simple reason that George Lucas was younger and (related to being younger) closer to a creativity and artfulness he would lose (at least in my opinion) when he got old. Lucas would also be forced to avoid CGI and rely on old fashioned special effects, and thus would avoid a saturation that has been criticized in the actual prequels. And make no mistake, a prequel trilogy done at any different time than when they were in the OTL would have been completely different stories. The only key elements there would be Anakin as Luke's and Leia's father, as a former Jedi turned to the Dark side of the Force, with his Master being Obi Wan and Obi Wan's Master being Yoda, and there being a Galactic Republic and a Clone Wars. Those elements could be put into any number of stories and situations to link up with the Original Trilogy.

So what if the Prequels were done in the late 80's and early 1990's?
