Now I have time to reply to everything. I'll start with what Sakaros said: Now I'll respond to your latest post, Alex, starting with the Original Trilogy stuff: Now for the Prequel Trilogy:
 * Things I like from the movies: the comedy (more-so C-3PO's dry wit), the characters and their development, the adventure, and the action (specifically lightsaber duels).
 * Things I dislike from the movies: needless things (comedy, action sequences, etc.), when a big question raised by a previous film is answered pathetically in the sequel, when a character meets a fate that is anticlimactic, space battles or battles between vehicles only (though this is a staple, so we can't get rid of it).
 * I agree it's important to think about the logistics of things; I feel we often overlook this as creators, for even the people at Lucasfilm do it. That's not to say we should over-analyze every single thing, but we should definitely try to remove the things that make us sound stupid when someone notices it (basically anything people criticize George Lucas about for leaving in the films).
 * Sakaros, your perspective is much appreciated! You are not meddling in any way; I'd love your help in the future, if you should ever wish to join us. You sound like you'd be quite good at looking for the logic of ideas and such :)
 * Film 1: Concept sounds good. I think we can include anything and everything (within reason) from Legacy; please remember, though, that anything we canonize is going to be reinvented in terms of its history/role by us.
 * Film 2: Overall a good idea, however I don't know if the Black Sun should take the place of the Sith/Empire as the main threat. Whatever suits the characters best (logically). I'm thinking that the second film would be where there is a betrayal (akin to Cade Skywalker joining Darth Krayt in the non-canon Legacy) at the end that renews the characters' desire to adventure in order to save their friend after they hit their low point.
 * Film 3: Overall, I enjoy the concept very much.
 * Film 1: I agree Wan should be the main protagonist. I like your concept overall, however I think it's important that we establish this is the beginning of the Sith-Imperial War, just as the first film in the Original Trilogy should establish the beginning of the Second Galactic Civil War.
 * Film 2: Not sure about this concept; it's not bad, though. Maybe with some more development, it could go somewhere.
 * Film 3: I like the basic ideas of this concept quite a lot. I'm not sure about that ending, though…

A lot of what we come up with depends upon what is established or hinted at in Episode VII-IX. The events of these films will directly impact the backstory of our Prequel Trilogy, which, in turn, will influence the Original Trilogy. In terms of plots, we can use the basic elements of Legacy. From that list of elements, we can establish what to put in each film.
