The Star Wars Duology: Divergent Edition (AKA the ANH/TESB fan-edits DuracellEnergizer would like to make but probably never will)
Time

I’m all for unusual.
As long is Harmy is doing what he does until Disney does what it needs to do anything goes as far as I’m concerned.
Star Wars is all about whimsy (drunk Jawas, Gonk droids gonking etc).
Lucas screwed up by being the progenitor of the whole thing and giving us such awfulness in Jedi and the PT as the official versions but as fan edits have fun.
Frink certainly does.

The Prequel Radical Redux Ideas Thread
Time

The whole ta’do about how the second Death Star got built so quickly could be solved by the Seperatists already making one by the end of ROTJ and the Republic making their own based on stolen plans.
The two could be confused in the chaos of the Galactic Empire rising so when the one in Rogue One got all blowed up the Empire just turned it’s attention to completing the other one.
Having Starkiller Base turn out to be Naboo would be a rather twisted way of turning the PT and the ST in on themselves.

I can’t see why there was so much of a fuss made here (I can’t read much of the posts either) but as this doesn’t stop us from seeing the official original versions that we can all purchase from Disney (not) I can’t see why changing anything should be a problem in a fan edit.

You’re in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. It’s crawling toward you. You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t. Not without your help. But you’re not helping.
Why is that?

What’s a tortoise?

It’s a Sea Turtle teacher.

I know it’s going to be historic. The man is funny AND seems to be efficient. Obama had good speeches but without intelligent actions speeches are worthless, and so are Obama’s 8 years: worthless. He only brought more wars than Bush and let ISIS spread. So yeah, thanks Obama, really… won’t miss you…

Do you complain about your own country’s leaders this much?

I do.
The guy is right.
He was elected as some kind of modern messiah figure and carried on bombing the middle east and torturing people. He is was as effective as a leader as Bush (as in he was a figure head with very little real influence).
David Cameron however had real power. He assumed he would win Brexit and silence the eurosceptics in his party for a generation and lost the UK probably trillions. Bush and Obama are fake news.
Cameron is a really evil dick and Theresa May is the g-spot of evil.

How do you come to the conclusion that W. Bush and Obama were just figure heads with real influence while David Cameron had real power??? Also if W. Bush and Obama were just figureheads, just you do you think was really in charge? Congress?

I guess from that, that you think the military industrial complex is really in charge. But I still do not understand why you think David Cameron was not a figurehead.

On it’s own the UK is a largely uninfluential tiddly little collection of countries so nobody bothered to disarm the post of Prime Minister. However in screwing up and accidentally triggering Brexit Cameron has started a chain reaction that could have enormous international consequences. Current US presidents are too well managed to do anything near as significant without the permission of the powers that really be. May is getting a trip to the vet by the look of things though.

A trip to the vet? can you translate that to American?
