Star wars one to three would have been better if there was less boring meetings and sitting and more Jedi vs Sith action.

The only thing wrong with the three festering piles of crap Lucas called "prequels" is they needed to be totally scrapped and re-written. And then executed with a better casting choice for Anakin. Other than that...

Then you're in luck. I know I've mentioned this before but it's well worth bringing up again. I give you Star Wars: Revisited. A bloke known only as Adywan has taken the original Star Wars and re-edited it to correct the colour issues with the commercial releases, undo most of the worst excesses of the Special Editions, fix continuity errors, tighten some scenes especially the Death Star battle - generally give the film a wash and brush up. A full list can be seen here (plus he uses the Third Doctor and Sarah as his avatar - he can do no wrong in my eyes). He plans on doing all six films and for the prequels has promised less Jar Jar, C-3PO not even apearing until Revenge let alone being built by embryo Vader, and much more.

The only thing that should have been done was to have him take no part in their production.

The only thing that spoiled the prequels is that Lucas got old. I don't mean that old people can't make good films but the original SW was born in the fire and angst of a young filmmaker trying to break into the mainstream.

Bah, Jar Jar Binks is hardly different than 3CPO or R2D2. Just another comic relief character.

It should be pointed out that Artoo and Threepio were, at least initially, more than simply comic relief. They were intended to echo the two peasant characters of Kurosawa's Hidden Fortress which provided much of the model for Star Wars. The idea was to show all the huge drama of war and battles etc from the viewpoint of the lowliest characters in the story.
