That’s not a headcanon, that’s speculation about future content.

I prefer the Clone Wars Multimedia Project over TCW and affiliated media, but I like Ahsoka as a character, so I like to think she existed. In my head-canon, she has the same personality as her Rebels version and the same physical appearance as her own adult version that is seen in the Mortis arc in TCW. She was trained by a random master who has never been seen in the films and was never part of the Council, one master among many, and was appointed as a Jedi Knight before the Battle of Geonosis. During the Clone Wars, she was 22 years old (the same age as Anakin in ROTS) and was in command of her own battalion of Clones. She fought heroically during the war, as she was convinced that it was necessary to restore peace to the Galaxy and defeat the Separatists and the Sith. However, during the course of the war she began to mature ideological and philosophical differences with the Jedi Order and begun to convince herself that the strict rules of the Order were wrong, so much so that she started to develop feelings for one of her commanders. She even planned to leave the Order and go her own way after the war, but unfortunately she was killed during Order 66. She never had anything to do with Anakin, Obi-Wan, Padmé, etc.

The new Disney+ shows (Mandolorian, Bad Batch, Book of Fett, etc.) replace the ST and there are now 3 timelines.
I’m not really that much of a movie purist. I really should’ve thought my name out a bit more.
You do realize they’re eventually gonna tie into the ST one way or another.
I like the idea that Palpatine used the Dark Side of the Force to create Anakin and that Snoke was a failed attempt to clone Plagueis before they cloned Palpatine. I’m up for whatever the official canon rolls out, but in my head that’s the way I see them.

Yeah, but it’s nice to have a temporary illusion of a fresh start.

This is less of a headcanon and more just my child mind interpreting the films weirdly, but as a kid, I imagined that in RotJ, Luke was visiting Yoda on his 900th Birthday. Meaning he was 899 during Empire.
Well canonically he was exactly 900 when died in RotJ, believe it or not. I guess that’s just the result of the EU interpreting his line “When 900 years old you reach” a little too literally.
This isn’t that much of a stretch as it’s supported by the new comic books and bits of context from the films but I fully believe Snoke is a homunculus made from a fairly equal mix of Palpatine’s and Luke Skywalker’s DNA.
The reason he’s so hellbent on destroying Luke and his legacy, other than Palpy’s manipulations, is because some part of him knows what he is and hates himself for it, but is so twisted by the dark side that killing his unwitting progenitor seems like the only thing worth living for. Snoke to me is this tragic, insane, artificially-aged, perverted amalgam of Palpatine, and the one man he hates most in the universe.
His monologues in TLJ have a real sadness to them for me now tbh.

All people who are not Force sensitive are able to keep their consciousness in an eternal limbo. Non-Force-sensitive people cannot become Force ghosts, but they still keep their consciousness in a kind of limbo, and Force ghosts can enter this limbo. So, after his death in ROTJ Anakin reunited with Padmé in the afterlife. There’s no one who will ever convince me otherwise, not even George Lucas.
I absolutely need to believe this. I simply can’t accept the fact that Padmé is gone forever and that Anakin can never reunite with her. I need to believe that the two of them reunited in the afterlife, otherwise I feel really bad. I love them both too much to think they’ll never get together again.

I believe that force ghosts, if they feel like it, can be seen even by non-Force users, thus, the Hayden Force Ghost in ROTJ can represent what everyone else sees (the young-ish heroes of the prequels), while Luke sees the original Shaw and Guinness ghosts.
Pretty much, I think that a force ghost appears differently to different people, depending on how that person last saw the other.

The more “kiddie” and simplistic episodes of Clone Wars (like Malevolence and the Jar-Jar episodes) are in-universe Republic propaganda films, which is why the Republic’s corruption is glossed over and the Separatists are shown as incompetent morons. The more mature and complex episodes (like Umbara and Ahsoka leaving the Jedi) are the actual truth of what happened.
Taking a que from Robot Chicken, Boba was insanely drunk on Malastarian gargle-blasters during the sail barge battle, which is why he was stumbling around in an almost intoxicated way while trying to fight Luke. His pain and suffering as the Tuskens dragged his acid-scarred body through the Dune Sea was accompanied by the worst hangover of his life.
Jar Jar is a dark side user, although he isn’t a Sith. He was banished from his tribe for discovering ancient Sith texts hidden in Naboo’s Sacred Place, and he used the knowledge contained in those texts to obtain vast dark side power. His signature technique was a subtle form of mind control, manifesting through apparent coincidence. When the Queen’s ship made it to Coruscant, Palpatine sensed Jar Jar’s power, and formed an alliance with him. Jar Jar would mind control the Senate into giving Palpatine absolute power, and in return Palpatine would have Jar Jar be one of his top advisors. However, this deal was a ruse, and Palpatine killed Jar Jar soon after the rise of the Empire.

I like more the “Jar Jar is just an idiot” version. I mean, I like him precisely for this reason hahaha 😄

Before Snoke was turned into a pickled puppet, I figured that his monsterous scarring was from losing a duel with Luke. Either before Kylo’s turn or possibly even after, like perhaps after the temple was destroyed, Luke found Snoke and ‘killed’ him, and Luke’s exile was in part because he felt dangerously close to turning dark himself.
Here are some from me:
As for more general stuff:
JEDIT: Among some little fixes here and there to this, I’d like to add that I’ve personally added several headcanons from this thread into mine. For instance, the one about the Death Star II really being a shell that can’t even blow up planets and simply exists for political reasons (I’d arrived at it only existing for political reasons, but the stuff about it barely being a Death Star makes so much sense it’s almost obvious, thanks!), or the one about Anakin’s final moment being seeing Padmé in Luke. There was also mention of Bail and Breha’s final moments be mourning Leia since Tarkin had signed her termination - really dark stuff that you don’t even consider watching the original film. Talk about extra material making things more important…
I don’t like the ages in canon at all. I put Anakin as a 10 year old in TPM, Padmé 14 and Obi-Wan 25.
I do the same thing. However, I like to keep the time gap between The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones as officially established, and the same goes for the time gap between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. So, in Attack of the Clones Anakin is 20, Padmé is 24 and Obi-Wan is 35, while in Revenge of the Sith Anakin is 23, Padmé is 27 and Obi-Wan is 38. In addition, I also keep the original time gap between the rest of the films, so Luke, Han and Leia’s ages don’t change. By the way, the official gap between Hope and Empire is 3 years, so your change isn’t a real change.
Time passes differently in Dagobah, but not because of any sci-fi reason, but because of the Force. Han and Leia’s adventure in Empire lasts for a couple weeks, while Luke spends months in Dagobah.
I like this a lot, too.

Luke already foresaw through the Force how his conflict with Jabba was going to end, or at least what the ideal outcome for him and his friends was. He just wanted to give Jabba a chance to solve things nonviolently.
You can notice that Luke nods along and looks almost pleased when 3PO is announcing their death sentence from Jabba. At that point, Luke has exhausted every alternative option (bargaining, stealth, Force persuasion), and he knew beforehand that this was what was most likely to happen.
This is actually something I’m wanting to imply in an eventual ROTJ edit with some added Jabba subtitles!
Luke: You should’ve bargained, Jabba.
Jabba: [as Jabba waves them off] Why? Have you seen the future?
Luke: This is the last mistake you’ll ever make.
Shot of Leia being tugged closer to Jabba.
Jabba: [added line] Your vision fails you, Jedi.
I might not do both lines, but it would come right after that head nod like you mentioned. I think there are some really good explanations of their plan, but I think audiences would accept their crazy plan even more if the idea that Luke saw how events would unfold was hinted at. It also sort of parallels how the Emperor foresaw how events would unfold in the final act as well. In this version of the story, both Luke and the Emperor sets up traps for their enemies based on their future visions.

In terms of raw power, Luke was never one of the strongest Force users. He wasn’t loaded with midichlorians, and he was a relatively mid-level Jedi, overall.
This reinforces to me the idea that Luke wasn’t made great by his power, but by his kindness and moral quality.
The prequel trilogy are holonet biopic dramas.
Which, I suppose explains the Shakespearian writing and acting and other theatrical reinterpretations.
