A clone of Luke... Was that correct?
Maybe I shouldn't have posted until I get everything more coherent. I need to explain it more, but ultimately yes. I'll have more time tomorrow and next week, I can explain it better. But yeah, clone technology will progress through the movies. The first problem with the clones being that they aren't able to use the Force (in the PT why didn't they just clone Maul a million times if they are totally obedient?). But then eventually I'd have Luke being discovered, but not by Anakin, and a clone is made of him but it is progressed in age. It's not really Luke, it's just a clone. I still have a lot of thinking to do about it, but I like it for a number of reasons. People would think Luke is fighting a dark side of himself, and really, that's what the OT is about, just not literally. You have the cave scene which reinforces that. A lot I just didn't have time to write and explain and some things I just haven't pieced together. I do have more to piece together on that, and really, I can scrap the volcano and even Obi-Wan being there. But the Luke clone I do like. I just haven't figured out if the Emperor makes him to secretly take down Anakin, because at that point Anakin is showing resistance to the dark side, and the Emperor knows that a child with two Jedi parents would be stronger or if the clone is made by the good guys and turned bad, he at least has to be with Obi-Wan at one point as some sort of pupil. Or, really that the Luke clone would be A...but then also have a new Obi-Wan apprentice who is choice B (although probably wouldn't have him turn to the dark side because that is redundant). Then have the truth C, end up being Anakin. I haven't worked it all out, but those are the reasons I like it. If I scrapped that idea, you'd basically just have to show Anakin's death off camera and go with what Lucas did.
