Buddy cop movie with Jar Jar and C-3P0 chasing down Ziro The Hutt. With R2-D2 as "The Commish".

This makes me wonder; if I made a very thinly veiled star wars knock off(and I mean blatantly obvious), could I get away with it? For some reason I get a feeling Lucas isn't really the suing type. He prefers to screw with people by hacking the characters they love.

I would go 1 of 2 ways
1 would be the horrible bloody but necessary murder of Jar Jar Binks
or 2 the story between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope about how Vader deals with the death of his wife and his sworn alegeance to the Dark Side

Perhaps a buddy flick about Kyle Katarn and Dash Rendar as they go about being badasses. Kyle is possibly the biggest badass in Star Wars canon while Dash is no slouch himself so it would be awesome.

I already stated that I would have made a live action TV series set in the RotJ-era Corporate sector that focused on some elite mercenary group. This would allow me to explore the de-evolution of the Empire, the dark underbelly of the galaxy, the Rebels that work to destabilize regions still under the Empire, and the opportunists that try to play both sides of the fence. The possible storylines are nearly unlimited that way.

I support the idea of a grittier Star Wars story, focusing on the underbelly of organized crime, smuggling, etc., with more mature and adult events.
As for me personally, I'd like to do a way-back prequal set in the ancient times of the SW universe, focusing on the founding of the Jedi order, the rise of the Sith, and how the Sith and the Jedi split. Thematically, I'd want it to be rather more morally relativistic than is typical in the Star Wars world, depicting the Sith as more ruthless and questionable, but nevertheless doing what they do out of a sincere difference of opinion as to how the Force should be interacted with and used to benefit the galaxy.

Redo the prequels entirely, which better gels with the original trilogy, which itself would be re-edited to remove all the unnecessary and detrimental tinkering that Lucas has inflicted upon it.

I'd redo the prequels keeping the essential plot but with just a few changes to get rid of the crap.
Episode 1:
* No Jar-Jar * Anakin is about the same age Luke was in ANH * Enemies are the first Clone Army rather than droids (Since I always thought the clones would work better as an enemy than allies) * Darth Maul survives after killing Qui Gon
Attack of the Clones
* Focuses on Obi-Wan's obsession with avenging Qui-Gon's death at the hands of Maul. He is preoccupied with revenge and is close to crossing over to the dark side. It's this obsession that eventually leads to Anakin's own corruption because of Obi-Wan's poor teaching. * Count Dooku actually thinks he is in the right by leading the seperartists/Clone Army in order to destroy the corrupt Republic and the Sith Lord in control. He's a good guy who is unwillingly been manipulated by Palpatine. * Rewrite the romance * Get rid of that ridiculous assasination segment.
Revenge of the Sith
* Anakin executes Darth Maul instead of Dooku on Palpatines orders * Obi-Wan avoids getting corrupted by the dark side of the force, Anakin doesn't because of Obi-Wan's obsession with revenge. * Anakin vs Obi Wan is cut by ten minutes or so.

Revenge of the Sith * Anakin executes Darth Maul instead of Dooku on Palpatines orders * Obi-Wan avoids getting corrupted by the dark side of the force, Anakin doesn't because of Obi-Wan's obsession with revenge. * Anakin vs Obi Wan is cut by ten minutes or so. I don't hate them, but I am going to address how I would alter your alterations: Episode 1: * No Jar-Jar - Jar-Jar isn't a completely horrible idea, but he was done really badly. I would eliminate the clumsiness and make him a legitimate warrior who is just a little too heavy on the muscle and a little too lean on the brains for his own good. In other words, he can still be comedy relief but in a massively less annoying manner. As he was, I could not understand why he was allowed off of the ship by the time they got to Tatooine. My changes would still allow him to be manipulated later in the trilogy without making him a complete waste of effort. In fact, my idea is not that he introduces a counter-intuitive law for the Senate to vote on but rather is a war hero whose support of centralizing the power of the government under Palpatine helps force the issue.* Anakin is about the same age Luke was in ANH - Why this was not done in the first place boggles my mind. It also cut down the creepiness of realizing that Natalie Portman (who was a grown woman when they filmed TPM) was going to be lusting after Jake Lloyd's character (who was decidedly NOT a full grown man). * Enemies are the first Clone Army rather than droids (Since I always thought the clones would work better as an enemy than allies) - I kind of felt that it should have been a mix. ANH established a prejudice against droids, so perhaps the bad guys should have had a lot of droids early but as the films progressed they increased their ability to clone troopers. The Republic should have never had a clone army, but rather there be a galaxy-wide draft policy in place but a massive mismanagement by the Senate that lead to an eventual centralization of power under Palpatine in order to efficiently end the war.* Darth Maul survives after killing Qui Gon - Honestly, I feel that he not only should have survived but he should have taken the place of General Grievous until he dies at the hands of Obi-Won on Dagobah after fleeing the Battle of Coruscant. His death would have led to the emergence of the Dark Side cave that Luke had his vision of himself as Vader in.Attack of the Clones * Focuses on Obi-Wan's obsession with avenging Qui-Gon's death at the hands of Maul. He is preoccupied with revenge and is close to crossing over to the dark side. It's this obsession that eventually leads to Anakin's own corruption because of Obi-Wan's poor teaching. - Maybe not so much poor teaching as struggling with knowing how to temper his passions while at the same time he has to deal with the universe falling apart around him, forcing him to frequently leave Anakin to his own devices. That would have been more heartbreaking to give more power to the end of the trilogy and the fall of Anakin.* Count Dooku actually thinks he is in the right by leading the seperartists/Clone Army in order to destroy the corrupt Republic and the Sith Lord in control. He's a good guy who is unwillingly been manipulated by Palpatine. - Yeah, that is definitely the way that it should have gone. In essence, he should have agreed that the elimination or taking power away from the Senate, either by entirely replacing the government or force the public to shift the power to Palpatine.* Rewrite the romance - Yeah, that was so bad. What was worse is that the deleted scenes would have significantly improved that romance. The fact that they got cut is annoying. Granted, it still would have been a bit unbelievable, but it would have been better. If Anakin was 20 or so in the first movie they could have planted the seeds of the romance in the first movie so that it would have been more tolerable as well.* Get rid of that ridiculous assasination segment. - The problem with this is that it was essential to the overall plot. Anakin has to be sent off alone with Padme so that his love for her could be used to corrupt him. Perhaps just trimming it down would make it more palatable?Revenge of the Sith * Anakin executes Darth Maul instead of Dooku on Palpatines orders - I disagree. Killing Dooku was the first hint that Anakin could rationalize doing the wrong thing for the right reasons. Maul would not have represented that as much as an enemy of the state that honestly was trying to do the right thing. * Obi-Wan avoids getting corrupted by the dark side of the force, Anakin doesn't because of Obi-Wan's obsession with revenge. - Of course.* Anakin vs Obi Wan is cut by ten minutes or so. - I would not have cut it for time but I would have altered the ending with Obi-Won giving Anakin one last chance at redemption that Anakin rejects, which leads to Obi-Won casting him down into the lava river bank where he burned. I would have also had Obi-Won consider killing him outright when he got down to him to see that the fire had not killed him, but isn't able to make himself do it.

All bounty hunter stuff. I'm not a huge fan of the Star Wars movies but I love the bounty hunter designs.
As a kid I read a coffee table book about the background characters in Star Wars, and IG-88 (the really weird robot hunter with a tall head) scared the crap out of me. He was programmed, became sentient, then killed the guy that programmed him. I think that'd be a good villain for a movie; a bounty hunter that's so far out there he needs to be stopped.

I'd do a film about the Mandolorian/Jedi battles (it really should have been them vs the Jedis in the prequels...sigh).
I'd also do a lot of stuff based in the past when the Jedi and Sith were around in great numbers.
There are a few great filmmakers out there that could make some really great Star Wars movies if given the chance. I'd love to see a Fincher SW film or one by Ridley Scott...if only.
