I don't agree - the Jedi were the good guys but Luke's rejection of their doctrine allowed him to succeed where they failed: a Jedi would have tried to kill Vader and then the Emperor, while Luke redeemed his father and killed the Emperor by doing so. The context is wrong, but a better sequel would still have Luke remake the Jedi Order in his own image rather than rebuilding the institution that allowed Anakin to fall to darkness.

I dont think thats always true. as we see in the first trilogy, Obi Wan does not attempt to do so. its also arguable whether yoda was trying to kill dooku who was still a great amount less powerful than he is. jedi do not always end a conflict with killing the criminals or nemesis of theirs. I think the sequel you want still exists in the full canon, sad how there was no new Star Wars after 2003.
inf maybe this was his path to becoming a Master.? Havent thought about it that much before - but it sounds fairly convincing from lucas's perspective, IMO. And MAYBE that was Obi learning from his and his master's encounter with maul, that would actually make a LOT of sense, now that im thinking about it/!!
and MAYBe that's a KEY change from old to new republic. Hmmm. Somenewthings to think about...
