I don't think lucas meant to have the republic appear corrupt. I think he literally thought that his republic was all noble and smart and that it was only padme and jimmy smits who were smart enough to figure out something was wrong, despite padme being a total retard throughout all of the prequels. it was all sloppy and lovely and the reader jumps to the obvious conclusion (the republic is super duper corrupt just as any democracy that size would be) even though it was never intended by lucas. Plus all the good bits of the EU make this the case because it makes for more varied storytelling. in the original trilogy the political situation is presented as black and white because it really doesn't matter. the story is about the adventures of a kid, a wizard, a rogue, and a princess. its fantasy and its pretty good for the most part. the only backstory you get is "luke's dad was a friend of obiwan and he got killed by evil or something, y don't u help me defeat the evil? also he was a fighter pilot in a war or whatever" and its fine. you don't need anything more than that. its not a problem until you try to start backfilling the rest of it. what war? why was he a fighter pilot? is it common that jedi be fighter pilots? how did this evil get started? who were the sides in the war? later on in the trilogy when yodas training luke he talks w/ ghost obiwan about how it was dangerous to train him at that age cause he was full of emotion and that same thing led to Anakin becoming vader. So the straightforward thing to do would be to have obiwan meet Anakin as an adult. maybe hes a pilot in some armed force or maybe hes a blockade runner if you want to stick to the retaded trade federation thing. either way his skill as a pilot has been established because hes been doing it for a while and as a force sensitive he learns faster, has better reflexes, etc... like maybe he helps obiwan out of a jam in some backwater and the movie opens with a heroic escape from the clutches of some hutt or something. obiwan realizes Anakin uses the force and the story moves on from there. instead they had to use a kid which is always a mistake, but its made worse by the fact that they have to do all the same stuff with the kid re: pilot skills. so you've got this dumbass kid who spends most of his time listening to the dumb exposition from the adults and then he does a pod race and then later a space battle. its dumb as hell and makes no sense. you end up with these two totally disconnected plots of Anakin is child darth vader and this thing with the trade federation and the jedi, when they're supposed to be the same story. it also means you don't have a central protagonist or atleast a duo to cheer for. a roguish Anakin and a more straight laced obiwan would create a traditional pairing that would work very well in the context of a space adventure. they become good friends and defeat the bad guys in the first one. then in the second one Anakin maybe uncovers some corruption in the jedi+republic and it creates tension between Anakin and obiwan. they both want to do whats right and fight whatever the corruption is, but maybe obiwan believes it can be fixed while Anakin thinks the council/republic is too far gone to be saved. Then this leads into the 3rd one where maybe Anakin learns of the sith and tries to start bringing some of their teachings into the jedi order. the sith emperor reveals himself to Anakin during his weakest point and convinces him that he is right to want to destroy the jedi+republic. like maybe Anakin starts corrupting young jedi knights. anyhow it eventually leads to the downfall of the republic and the obliteration of the jedi order. at the end it would probably still be obiwan and the remaining republic supporters fleeing the core worlds, but Anakin wouldn't yet be in the suit and hed be starting his work to hunt down the remaining jedi in the galaxy. its that 30 or so years inbetween where he abandons his humanity and gets put into the suit. idk. I think the star warts universe can be a pretty good one and I disagree that the prequels couldn't have been anything more than a cash grab.
