If Lucas had produced but had others write and direct the trilogy. Obi Wan would be the protagonist, Anakin would be older when discovered, Qui-Gon would have a smaller role as Kenobi’s old master, Kenobi has just became a Jedi Knight, Jar Jar would be serious and talk normal, Romance would be hinted at between Padmé and both Anakin and Obi Wan. Maul would kill Qui Gon followed by Kenobi cutting off his legs and him falling down a giant hole, however he would found by Jango Fett at the end. Fett would be introduced as well as young Boba and the clones. Kenobi would start the film doing an investigation that would lead him to finding them much like in the original 2nd film. In a lot of ways this would combined elements from both episodes 1&2.
