A Star Wars retcon I can get behind.

Via Digg:


Manages to add value to '77 and the notorious prequels, does it not?

"Somehow Ewan McGregor ended up the unsung hero of the franchise," laments my friend Scott. "It's criminal when he truly was the soul of those prequels." Indeed, this exercise has me re-thinking some of my initial reactions to the epic retcons that have, more often than not, made SWU continuity a laughable bollix. With some diligence and empathy, a retcon of the prequels could possibly elevate them above the initial trio of films. Make it so, Mr. Spock!

Post-script: Topher Grace famously edited the three prequels into an 85-minute film that rocked harder than did their initial six hours and fifty-five minutes. Maybe it looks like this?
