  Prequel trilogy (Star Wars) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The prequel trilogy (commonly abbreviated PT by fans) is a term used to describe the three films of the Star Wars saga whose events take place before the original trilogy.
In Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, the first film in the trilogy, Jedi Knights Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi are sent to Naboo to mediate a dispute between the Galactic Republic and the corrupt Trade Federation, and are charged with protecting Naboo's Queen, Padmé Amidala.
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is set three years later, when Anakin has become a full-fledged Jedi and hero of the Clone Wars.

Star Wars fans know that Lucas has been carrying this story (the prequels) about the Skywalker family around in his head for 20 years now and that he has to tell it.
For the 30th anniversary of Star Wars: A New Hope (2007), Lucas will have the digital technology available to change or add new storylines to the trilogy, add new characters to the trilogy and actually modify or replace the human actors with photo-realistic computer-generated actors (if he thinks these changes are appropriate).

 Star Wars on DVD - Reviews - Star Wars Trilogy
Even after the trilogy arrived on shelves, there remained strong interest in bootlegs of the trilogy in their original theatrical form – the way they were before the 1997 Special Edition introduced a number of digital revisions that were further modified for the 2004 DVD's.
Star Wars movies have always relied heavily on the audio side to help carry the story along, from Ben Burtt's sound effects to John Williams' scores to the surround sound advances that Lucas has helped push forward.

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire was a multimedia project created by Lucasfilm in 1996.
The original idea was to create an interquel, a story set between the movies The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi (a time where no Star Wars book had gone before), and to explore all commercial possibilities of a full motion picture release, without actually making the film.
The entire history and analysis of the project was recorded in The Secrets of Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, by Mark Cotta Vaz.

And why, while on the topic of politics, would someone born into slavery embrace totalitarianism as a political philosophy?) It’s clear that Anakin and Padme’s relationship is vital to the story Lucas wants to tell, but doubts as to its plausibility prove to be fatal.
The prequel trilogy merely end up coasting on the audience’s goodwill, which can work well enough for popcorn entertainment if the final payoff is nice and juicy...
It should be obvious by now what the answer to my earlier question is: from a dramatic standpoint, the prequel trilogy ultimately has nothing of substance to offer beyond its visceral entertainment value.

For example, the opening sequence with the star shining on the spaceship, as previously mentioned, displays the strength in the camerawork, even though it is composed of computer generated images.

However, not the clone wars as we know them...the clone wars in this are the Jedi vs the Mandalorians (I believe before the prequels, Lucas said that Boba Fett's armor was Mandalorian, and the Mandalorians were involved in the Clone Wars..I would've liked to see that involvement be more than crappy Jango Fett).
From the very beginning, Lucas has said that the droids would appear in every Star Wars movie he made, because the story is sort of told from their viewpoint (this was the main concept from Akira Kurosawa's Hidden Fortress that was used in Star Wars from the start).
With the chaos that is war, it would be great to see Anakins love of Padme just rip him to pieces due to their separation and their few moments of contact.
