3 is the best of the prequels but 2 has some surprisingly solid moments, all of them involving obi-wan when he's on his own. but the worst parts of that film are the worst parts of the entire series.

The Red Letter take down of the prequels lack of solid characterization - the inability to describe a character without simply describing the person playing him - was totally on the money and remains why the movies play like utter nothing, or why even in terms of plot the first of the prequels can be ignored entirely. It's just people doing things.

For my son, we watched 4-6, then it wasn't in my plans to show him the prequels at all, but my wife bought them for him because he was so into it. No idea how my daughter's gonna get into this whole mess.― how's life, Tuesday, February 25, 2014 6:06 PM (2 weeks ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

While Disney chairman Alan Horn remained mostly tight lipped during an interview at the Loyola Marymount School of Film and Television in Los Angeles, he did let it slip that “Star Wars Episode VII” has already begun shooting and has much of its cast.“We have a lot of them, it’s not completely done yet,” Horn responded when asked about casting, noting it as the most difficult part of putting the highly anticipated film together.As J.J. Abrams prefers to keep details under wraps for most of his films, Horn declined to reveal any names. Variety, however, learned in February that “Girls” actor Adam Driver is in talks to play the villain. Actors being considered for the lead role include Ed Speleers, John Boyega, Jesse Plemons, Matthew James Thomas and Ray Fisher.“We’re actually shooting some of it now,” Horn said, despite previous comments that filming would start next month. The chairman could have been referring to getting B-roll and location shots without having the cast on set, but he didn’t divulge any information beyond that.The script, co-written by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams after an early draft by “Toy Story 3″ scribe Michael Arndt, was also a challenge, according to Horn. On all other details, though, Horn channeled his inner Yoda to advise those awaiting more news: “Patience, you must have.”“Star Wars: Episode VII” is produced by Abrams, his Bad Robot partner Bryan Burk and Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy. It’s set to hit theaters Dec. 18, 2015.

They should cast the whole movie with Friday Night Lights alumni. Matt Saracen as the callow Jedi apprentice. Tim Riggins as the roguish Han Solo type. Buddy Garrity as Jabba the Hutt.

I don't recall, but I don't think so. They're all pretty major characters in the Expanded Universe stuff. The first two, particularly, have gigantic story arcs in the Clone Wars cartoon series.
There's also this one, who had a death scene filmed two different ways, and both ended up on the cutting room floor, for Episode III.

the Star Wars wiki never fails to perplex and horrify
Yaddle, also known as "The One Below", was a renowned Jedi Master, who went on to serve the Jedi High Council for over a century before her death in 26 BBY during a peacekeeping mission to Mawan. A member of the same species as fellow Councilor Yoda, but about half his age, Yaddle trained dozens of Padawans in her time as a Jedi Master, including Oppo Rancisis, who would later join Yaddle on the Jedi Council, and the brash and overconfident Empatojayos Brand. After completing Brand's training, Yaddle did not take another apprentice, as she was almost five hundred years old when Brand passed the Jedi Trials for Knighthood.

yeah that hamill was some kid off the streets, ford was this smartass/badass who kinda thinks acting as a career is a joke, and carrie fisher was this wise beyond her years cynic who'd grown up in hollywood worked really well for star wars (plus you have alec guiness for yr bemused genius, peter cushing as sinister imperialist, and james earl jones providing a disembodied voice that could probably crush you w/o even touching you). thought the rise in quality in terms of professional actors was something that worked against it, by the second one ewan macgregor had kinda figured things out and by the third portman had gotten the hang enough that you could imagine her pulling off mon mothma maybe in jedi. who knows what the characters are actually like but really if you want to replicate what worked and add the humanity the prequels lacked have some dorky earnest innocent to do the bildungsroman and then go lady and the tramp for the other main protagonists.
