WheresBlackhawk said:For example, questions I'm trying to answer are:
1. What is Clone War II?
2. Why do we never see Yoda in this trilogy and why is he on Dagobah?
3. What sets Anakin apart from other Jedi that Palpatine is interested in him?
4. How does the emperor rise to power and how do we make him NOT seem evil?
5. If the emperor is willing to kill Anakin's children because they would be a threat to him, why does he keep Vader?
6. Who are the Sith and why aren't they in the OT?
7. Why did Obiwan tell Luke, "I was ONCE a Jedi knight, the same as your father"?
8. After Alderaan is destroyed in ANH, why isn't Leia a queen? Wouldn't she be the last living royalty of that world?
9. Why does Leia remember her "real mother," while Luke finds Dagobah familiar?
Let me know how you would like me to present my ideas (outline or concepts).
1- Perhaps rebel clones, tired of being second class citizens, revolt against the Republic.
2- Maybe Yoda is a great prophet, living in exile. Maybe he had been the leader of the Jedi order, and renounced it and the wealth and power to live in harmony with the force.
3- Maybe nothing. Maybe Anakin's just the right kind of ruthless soldier to step up and take a leadership role in the New Order
4- Maybe Palpatine rises to power against a legitamatley twisted government. He might be a bringer of peace.
5- I got no idea here.
6- Who said the Sith need to be in the PT? Maybe "Dark Lord of the sith" is an ancient title (like being the Duke of Suchandsuch) that Palpatine awards Vader with.
7- Things get so bad as the Empire rises, Obi-Wan actually renonces the Jedi order, throwing his badge aside and hiding (he'd need a badge of some sort).
8- "Princess" might be a title shared by lots of people. If she's far enough down the line of succession that the idea that she's now queen of a dead planet wasn't even worth thinking of.
9- I think Leia's mother should survive (and Anakin might never know she was pregnant) and go to Yoda for advice. Leia can be raised as her mother's legitamate child and Yoda can call in ex-Jedi Obiwan for a favor and have him look after Luke, so as not to keep all the eggs in a basket.
Just ideas. The PT world is totally open.
