‘Bring back your dead!’ 😉 Reducing the stakes again - retconning past events - opting for the lazy option… instead of crafting a new fresh menacing villain to the story. Still, it’d likely kept a number of PT and animated series fans happy, I guess. Maybe he’d even have got more dialogue in the main feature than in the trailer for that? [sarcasm mode].
How does bringing back a villain reduce the stakes?
Retconning past events? Like Star Wars movies have done since TESB?
The less said about midichlorians the better; as George also seemingly thought after the vague and ham-fisted attempt in TPM. Though the prospect of Lucas engaging in more time-ravelling to alter his own quotes from decades ago to include a mention - or maybe even an explanation - of midichrlorians… wouldn’t be that surprising. Ugh.
What’s wrong with the midichlorians?
