Mine is they shouldn't have made the sequel series without George as a consultant.

My idea for the prequels is this.

Expand the clone wars into an actual thing. Not that they were fighting with Clone armies. That's sort of stupid.

No, the clones were of actual people, and the Jedi were the main way to tell if someone was a clone or not. I'm talking full on pod people situation here.

So, Episode 1 can be the initial discovery of the clones, and Jedi starting to hunt them. Introduce Obiwan who is a newly minted Jedi master. He finds Anakin who is a slave, but not a child. A young adult.

Obiwan then starts training Anakin.

Episode 2 would find that Anakin had been cloned. Obiwan or Padame or someone convinces people to accept the clone, and Obiwan ends up training them both. The original and the clone. Maybe the surviving clones are somewhat accepted into society, after the factory and controllers are destroyed.

Episode 3 is Anakin's fall. He grows resentful that of his clone. The Jedi masters sense this and pass him over for some honor or advancement and Anakin starts to think that it's because he was a slave which fuels the resentment. Padame and the clone grow close, which makes Anakin even more resentful.

At the height of the movie, the surviving clones are ordered to kill anyone near them in a mass suicide attack. Anakin's clone, who has connected with the Force, does not kill.

Anakin murders his clone, thinking that Padame is dead, and then goes on to kill the jedi, thinking they're to blame. Obiwan finds Anakin's lightsaber, (he and the clone switched mid fight) and assumes the clone was activated and that Anakin is dead.

And then stuff wraps up so that Luke is born and placed on Tatoine.

I like it. You got the birth of Luke and Leia in a way I didn't. I think in my head retcon, Padme doesn't exist and Anakin sleeps around while killing and conquering (how he doesn't know about Luke/Leia). That's not great.

Wanna combine them and pitch Star Wars What If? to Disney?
