A place for self reflection.

I sometimes ask myself what I would say if I were allowed the opportunity to travel back in time and speak to my teenaged self, but were only allowed around five minutes to do so before being yanked back to the present. I suppose I’d tell him this:

  • Everyone is right, you’re wrong. Now start bathing everyday, not just on Sundays.
  • You’ll never be a rocket scientist, but you’re no dumb ape either. Apply yourself, do your homework and complete your assignments on-time and to the best of your ability, get the best grades you can get, and strive towards graduation.
  • Don’t sit on your lazy ass watching shitty episodes of Mutant X and say to yourself that a job is something you don’t have to worry about now 'cause it’s a concern for the future. Before you know it, the future will be now and then where will you be? Stuck living in a decaying shithole with a family you have nothing morally, spiritually, artistically, or intellectually in common with. Grown a pair, seek out a job, and prepare yourself for adulthood.
  • You have homosexual tendencies within you. Don’t get all fearful and hateful; don’t become a loathsome homophobe. Accept those traits for what they are – a minor tinge in an otherwise wholly unshakable heterosexual make-up – and move on.
  • You like a certain girl? Show her you possess sensitivity, thoughfulness, intelligence, and most of all respect for her as a woman and as a person. First impressions matter; don’t fuck up what can be a beautiful relationship – platonic or romantic – right from Day 1.
  • Don’t allow your parents’ religion to define your reality, your morality, or your concept of God. Let the teachings of Christ and the findings of modern science inform you, not outmoded stories of gardens and trees and arks and floods and parting of seas.

This advice is as good to you now as it would have been then. Put it to good use, buddy. We don’t know each other personally, but hearing you make positive progress in life would make me happy. I’m pullin’ for ya!

JEDIT: I hope this didn’t come off as mocking or whatever. DrCrowTstarwars gave me a complex about encouraging others.

I’d be much more excited for a Lando spin-off than I am for the Han one.
Lando seems to have a much more interesting backstory. Going from a rogue like Han to a successful business man and a respected leader before we ever meet him.
Han, on the other hand, seems to make his biggest life changes during the OT. Sure, they can cook up any stories they want and any story can be good, but it just seems that there’s a more interesting story there with Lando.

The only thing that exists on my world is the OT, vader lived on the death star and other ships haha. Not some count ducula castle…cannon,prequels and Wikis are just shite that was created after the event.

What part of previously unused Ralph McQuarrie OT concept do you not get?

None of it, the films are the films.

I have to agree Just because Ralph designed it doesn’t mean we should all accept it as canon.
I dig it though.

It’s something Disney pulled out of their asses.

Ftfy

It was a preconceived concept for ESB. This is a fact. Nobody’s saying you have to like the idea, but it’s not a new one.
