Literally only months passed between the time I watched the entire OT and the release of TPM, so I didn’t have a whole lot of time to build a cohesive headcanon of the PT timeline before it was disrupted. Regardless, I had come up with some hard concepts:
- Anakin was older than nine years old when Ben discovered him
- Anakin had black hair
- Anakin’s wife (who wasn’t a queen or a senator) had red hair
- Luke & Leia were born before Anakin turned to the dark side and raised by their biological parents on Tatooine for the first years of their life
- The clones in the eponymous Clone Wars were proto-stormtroopers who fought against the Jedi and the Republic
- The Mandalorians were a secondary enemy force who participated in the Clone Wars and were wiped out by the Jedi
- The Empire already existed with Palpatine as its emperor before Anakin’s turn to the dark side
- Anakin deliberately killed his own wife
- The Great Jedi Purge spanned a number of years before Anakin fought Ben, fell into a volcano, and became Darth Vader
- Hand-held blaster technology wasn’t invented until the rise of the Empire
