Exactly. There’s a difference between deus ex machina and simple cliché.

“That Darth Vader, man. Sure does love eating Jedi.”

I get Jedha and Jakku confused.

Jedha? Why does everyone want to go back to Jedha?

See, it doesn’t work. Finn = Jakku = TFA

She was once Beru Skywalker, Anakins sister. She was never trained, but is force sensitive and can see things before they happen. She married Owen Lars who never agreed with such “wizardry”. She stayed behind with Owen while her brother left on an “idealistic crusade” with Obi-Wan.
Watch the films with this in mind and it works just as well as Obi-Wan’s twisting the truth to Luke.
For me, it makes the entire backstory more interesting as both Owen and Beru would be strongly connected to and involved with the plot of the PT. It would give an opportunity for a good female character and much better relationship dynamics.

This could fit well with a personal canon I have for Anakin.

Anakin Skywalker is a young star pilot who lives a regular farm life on Tatooine with no desire to leave his home planet and believes himself to be a normal person like everyone else, unaware that the Force is strong with him. He then meets Obi Wan Kenobi whose ship has crash landed on Tatooine and is able to see how strong the Force is with Anakin. He then explains to him who he is as a Jedi Knight, the Force, and his involvement in the Clone Wars. After hearing all this Anakin begins to learn about something much greater than himself and when offered the chance by Obi Wan to leave with him to be trained as a Jedi and fight in the Clone Wars he unhesitantly agrees.

His friend Owen Lars tells him he shouldn’t be going with this person on some “damn fool idealistic crusade” but Anakin tells him that this is what he believes in now.

Found some dude on Youtube uploading clips from Fan Edits on here and passing them off as his own. Not cool.

What do you guys have as ideas for The Clone Wars pre PT? I like to believe there were 2, with Obi Wan serving in the first and gaining the rank of General for Alderaans army but that’s as much as I thought up.

I wish they would make a new Holiday Special.

The fact that Disney hasn’t made this already is the main reason why they shouldn’t own the franchise.

I, for one, would love to know what new recipes that three-armed freak of nature has whipped, whipped, stirred, beaten up.

I think you’re confusing the four-armed Holiday Special chef with Zaphod Beeblebrox.

“Lookin’ out for love. Big, big love.”

“Uh!”

“Ah!”

“Uh!”

The worst part is that I liked that song up until the point tonight when you ruined it for me forever.

This concept for a nuclear powered(!) flying wing from the 1950’s looks kind of familiar!

Although I doubt the cockpit rotates.

It’s a personal massager, thank you very much.

“At Lucasfilm at this point, followers might be all the studio is looking for.”

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/2017/09/06/colin-trevorrows-star-wars-sacking-shows-franchise-creative/

Hollywood, led by Disney’s twin brands Marvel and Lucasfilm, is undoing the last vestiges of the 1970s auteur theory that shifted the power of filmmaking to directors, and bringing back the 1930s studio system.

And it couldn’t have happened without Star Wars. Without a doubt, this will be the most shameful aspect of George Lucas’ legacy.

I have to wonder if George is going to come back in some capacity if this keeps happening. Unless there’s too much scorched earth after his slavers remark for Disney to make overtures to him?
