New Star Wars Movie in 2015

[Hopeless]

For me the prequels could have worked if they'd just tried to accomodate some if not all of the details mentioned in the books even if only for a "certain point of view"!

I agree about the military bit, it would have made things more interesting if they revealed that the whole point of the first movie was the death of Qui-Gon Jinn which was to make Count Dooku turn against Yoda's faction.

We had these stories from the Old Republic about Jedi Houses and it makes more sense for them to be the ones dealing with the Republic rather than Yoda's Jedi who are more monastic in outlook to demonstrate why Yoda is the way he is.

The Separatists make more sense if through Dooku's intervention the mainpart of the Republic military is sent after Yoda's faction making it a three way fight with Yoda's Jedi heading into exile and hiding to avoid both Dooku's faction and Sidious's allies in the Separatists but with the two forces (Dooku and the separatists) fighting each other things come to a head when the Republic Senate makes a stand against Dooku making him join the Separatists along with most of the forces under his command forcing the republic to use the clone forces who up to this point have been kept in limited numbers as an alternative means of not depriving the member worlds of the Republic access to their own military forces as the conflict escalates.

Dooku is betrayed and slain by Grievous who assumes command of the Separatists but is killed after Palpatine regains control over Dooku's surviving military and uses the clones to eliminate Dooku's Jedi.

His Order 66 eliminates every known member of the Jedi Houses but Yoda's faction has several survivors who escape into the Outer Rim since their training meant they didn't have families of their own, some turn away from their former role and start families but others continue as the newly organised empire sets out to eliminate what they call the last remaints of the traitors that brought down the Republic namely Dooku's Jedi which is really Palpatine's way of dealing with Yoda's faction.
