A movie set there with some Empire vs Rebel story and character development BEFORE it gets blown up, actually makes us LIKE the OT better.

Also, since Imperial officers are NOT clones, and stormtroopers are, let's see the Imperial Academy as well.

Except the story we got wasn't the one Obi-Wan had spent so much time building up over the course of the Star Wars trilogy.
Plus, it's not betrayal of no trusts you in the first place. Plus, Anakin's reveal as Darth Vader to Obi-Wan and Yoda through security footage was the laziest, most bullshit way to bring it to their attention. Plus, the many threats of Anakin being expelled from the Jedi Order for his relationship never coming to fruition, when it could have given us a reason to root for him and against the Jedi. Lazy, half-assed prequels. Anakin deserved better. And so did Hayden Christensen, who, to me, was one of the very few bright spots of the prequels. Ewan, too.
If Luke saw the version of Anakin's life that we did, he probably wouldn't have cared to bring his father back to the light side.

Boba Fett, a bounty hunter of few words on some mission of revenge. I would pay to see a space western, and I also think that would sit pretty well into the star wars universe.

Also, a Jedi Academy film or series could be an all new entry point to the Star Wars Universe for new fans. Heed my words Disney! This idea is MONEY!

Sam Jackson is a bad ass Jedi! But he is already a bad ass in another Disney franchise…
