Star Wars Prequels: What Might Have Been

I swear I will keep this brief:

1)Anakin should have been an adult, or at least a teenager, from the get-go.
2)Anakin should have been a hot-shot pilot or rogue type character. Making him a whiny ass may help Lucas identify with him, but it doesn't make a lot of sense.
3)The Jedi should have been in decline, or basically gone, from the galaxy by the time Episode One rolls around. Anakin should have entered training late in the hopes that he would help bring them back, but instead Amidala is killed during the war when he fails to act on his dark impulses (for example, blowing up a ship with civilians on it) and he falls to the dark side.
4)No Jar-Jar, kiddie jokes, etc.
5)The Clone Wars should have already been going on for years by the time Episode One started: and the entire Jango Fett clone idea should have been dropped.
6)The art direction and fighting styles should have matched the Original Trilogy.

There you go. How maddening is it that Battlestar Galactica, on a television show budget, get achieve more riveting and impressive space battles than the Star Wars prequels.
