1) what hair will Nic Cage go with!?
2) they contact the ailiens by breaking in to the closed down launch site and using the machine from Contact!
3) they DO get word to the president that there's all these thingies flying at earth! and so he cowboys up and leads the F-15's HIMSELF! and they start shooting at the monoliths! BUT-- they run. out. of. missiles! and just as Randy Quaid is about to fly his airplane into the biggest monolith--
4) Jeff Goldblum, a government advisor, and SCIENTIST- whos been against the attack from the start, and pacing around the radar room all this time, grabs the radio from Helmsley and shouts out stuff about how maybe they're here to help, because it's all about chaos theory...or whatever... so they break off the attack.
5) when old Shia is putzing around, confessing his love for Nic Cage (this is the documentery part of the film, we'll use shakey cam, people like that!) and swearing to continue his father's work with communicating with extra terrestrials, BOOM! Optimus Prime explodes from the earth's core, where he's been burried for a million zillion years! and he decides to use the Spark of Imagineering to bring back Nic Cage-- in the form of MoCap Tom Hanks! who proceeds to address the camera and convince the audience that Santa does exist, through a fun little song and dance number. possibly involving a train, and some kidnapped children (also played by Hanks).

well done.

It is about as much of a slam-dunk as you can imagine. THAT is what people want to see.
Whatever EU continuity that may be established for those time periods, just throw them away. Lucas can do what he wants, he can invalidate that crap at any time.
I suspect this will happen someday though. The Clone Wars is fine, but enough with the prequels already.
