If Luke and Leia were brother and sister the whole time and with Leia also being force sensitive throughout the OT, then when she was kissing him in TESB she should have said
“This is all wrong. I don’t know what it is but when I kiss you it’s like I’m kissing…my brother”.
In the PT Obi-Wan and R2 fight together during many battles but when he sees R2 again in ANH, he clearly has never seen him before when he says “I don’t recall ever owning a droid”. So after 17-20 years he doesn’t recognize his own copilot? What are we supposed to think? That Obi-wan went senile?
I was looking through Amazon Prime and saw that there’s a ROTJ (Theatrical Version) available. I haven’t been able to verify this yet but for those who have, is this for real?

The most disturbing thing about this film is that this guy, the director, molested the 12 year old boy who starred in it and VIDEOTAPED IT!!!
That’s just sick. Where I’m from, we don’t tolerate that kind of thing. And yet he still went on to make more films.
I have just tested it on the Order 66 scene from ROTS and was able to remove the music.
Can you show a clip of it?
Do you plan to incorporate the deleted scene of Luke building his lightsaber into this edit?
The reason Lucas went with a CGI Yoda was so that he could make him into a backflipping twirling ninja who was never supposed to fight to begin with.
Enough said.
I’m currently in the process of purchasing a 35MM theatrical print of the film Evil Dead 2 available for sale here
http://www.angelfire.com/or/raylearchive/#35
The full price needed to purchase this is $1500 with the shipping costs being covered out of my own pocket. I currently have $700 that I was able to raise from donations from some dedicated Evil Dead fans who are interested in seeing this project happen, but it’ll take a while longer to raise the rest of it on my own to have it purchased and scanned. If your also interested in seeing this project happen go ahead and send me a PM with any amount that your willing to donate. Hopefully we can make this happen as I’ll be doing some restoration work on the print myself.
If enough funds can be raised to help purchase this I will post an update on the scanning costs and we can go from there.
Do you think Vader’s portrayol in this scene would’ve been better if they had told David Prowse the line was “I am your father” and not the “Obi-wan killed your father”?
My answer is that Leia had no training & time was running out. I think Obi-Wan thought it would be too late to get Leia to the state she needed to be in to face Vader & overthrow the Emperor.
But the real reason is that the siblings thing is a bad retcon that created problems.
It was meant to be a love triangle. Thats why in the scene when Luke calls out to her she was able to hear him because deep down it was Luke who she truly loved, not because she was force sensitive.
I like to think that he was simply being reminded. During the Dagobah scene in ROTJ when Obi-wan tells Luke about his sister, his father, and why its his destiny to fight him, I find it important that he’s telling him what hes always known throught the OT and not what he found out from Yoda as a Force Ghost.
In TESB after Luke leaves Dagobah and Obi-wan says “That boy is our last hope” and then Yoda says “No, there is another…”, was he simply reminding Obi-wan about Leia? Or did Obi-wan not know about her being Lukes sister until ROTJ?
I think ANH is a good title because it doesn’t have the words OF THE in it. Three of the titles in the Skywalker saga have “of the” in it and the rest start with “The”. A title without any of those words shows that it was very well thought through.
What if to preserve the surprise in TESB, Yoda’s name was never used in the PT. The Jedi call him “master” and you never hear his name then when you watch TESB you think Yoda is the name of another Jedi who survived. Then when you see him on Dagobah you think he really will take Luke to see “Yoda”.
When Luke strikes Vader down the Emperor says to Luke that if he strikes Vader the final blow he’ll take his father’s place by his side meaning Luke would’ve given in to the dark side.
I never believed that Jedi’s kill, they only harm in self-defense with their lightsaber but if Luke had not thrown his lightsaber away and was able to deflect Palpatines Force lightning with his lightsaber and taken the Emperor down would he have still given in to the dark side?
How did you get the lightsaber glow to look really good in this shot?
Adywan tried the same thing for TESB:R but gave it up.
The New Republic should be a liberated but fractured galaxy. The Rebel Alliance successfully freed the entire galaxy by defeating the Empire. After the defeat of the Empire, it’s unlikely the entire galaxy would willingly unite under a single government again no matter how democratic and especially without the Jedi. It was the galaxy’s unification that allowed the Empire to form in the first place.
Adywan, would you still be willing to consider having the lightsabers glow for ROTJ:R?
They are depicted this way in the ST and RO
If the Empire in the OT is looked at as Nazi’s that rose to power, then the First Order in the ST should be a group of Neo-Nazis that formed from the survivors of the Empire who believe in the use of the dark side of the force, the same way the resistance believe in the force.
- Kylo isn’t a Sith. Or at least he doesn’t know he is? Unclear.
He can use the dark side of the force. That declares him a Sith, but they shouldn’t use that word in the ST or PT. The word Sith was never used in the OT.
It should be a rule that if you join with the dark side of the force it is your destiny to be killed.
General Grievous lightsabers should be red and the Sith shouldn’t have names with Darth in it. The ST justifies this by not calling Ben Solo “Darth Kylo” or “Darth Ren”.
The scenes between Han and Leia should be more intimate. Just a thought.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed The Blackened Mantle.
I think the prequel lovers need to grow up.
