I hope one day someone has an opportunity to re-tell that story with a much darker and more mature vision (not to mention halfway decent writing, directing, and acting), so the prequels can pretty much be removed from history.

For anyone that really wants to see how the seduction of Vader should have been done as well as the Empire. Go out and buy the Matt Stover novalization, and then buy Dark Lord the rise of Darth Vader.
