Introduction
I think, everybody who knows Star Wars has a very own and personal image of what we believe to be is Star Wars, so I can't even blame George Lucas completely, because all he did, was show, that his image of what Star Wars is, is simply different from what many fans believed Star Wars to be and made it in their minds. So, I don't claim that this thing, that I'm writing for myself as a fanfiction, of how I personally would have made the Star Wars Prequels, is even better at all than George Lucas's version, only for me personally it is the best version of Star Wars that could be.
Really, I need help of escaping all the discussion of what George Lucas should have done or not, because I think, he just proved, that Star Wars for him is a money cow that he handed over to Disney, so they would melk it for him from now. Star Wars, broken down to a sentence, is an Science Fiction action blockbuster from the seventies to eighties that had a wild commercial success and still has the biggest, still growing fandom of all in the world (one fandom to rule them all, you know) and what nobody wants to admit is, that George Lucas simply saw his story as just another Science Fiction and nothing special any of us fans migh have made out of Star Wars in their own minds, exspectations that George Lucas couldn't meet, because he wasn't really enthusiastic about making the Prequels, but just made something. Star Wars itself also simply was a something George Lucas made, that he didn't even believe was good. And you would too be bored of it, if you were pinned down to one of your own works for decades. What I do blame is the copyright that will probably be clinged on by Disney for ages to come. Guys, your company became successfull, because there were works, that were free for you to use for the first Disney movies.
I like people who become creative about it their own, look at J.J. Abrams, he basically is the guy who got the ressources to make the biggest, most expensive, most successful and somehow familiar Star Wars fanfiction of all time. You might realize, that "The Force Awakens" is, what it's creators believed to be the essence of Star Wars. I believe, that Star Wars already belongs to it's fans
All I do here, is drafting a personal fanfiction of a Phantom, non-existing Star Wars Prequels series, that never existed, brainstorming ideas of how Star Wars could have been different and creating my own Indie Star Wars Universe, that even fucks about the very official Star Wars Canon, because neither did I really ever like the Expanded Universe nor do I appreciate every single Episod of the animated children's series about Star Wars that are annoying me ever since my little brother knows how to use a TV remote.
This is my version of Star Wars, especially the Prequels that never existed. I only imagine them, the Phantom Prequels.
