I went this direction in my previous rewrite. The goal was for Darth to become Anakin’s Sith apprentice in the final episode, have them confront Ben together on Mustafar, then end with Darth turning against Anakin and the both of them falling into a magma pit. Anakin would’ve survived with near-total amnesia, with Palpatine altering his remaining memories to make him believe he was Darth all along.

Wish I had more to bring to the table, but I’ve been mired in depression-borne writer’s block for months now.

This is the book everyone spews their custard over, right?

I figured it’s nothing to write home about.

Happy Proper/Alternate/Second/Vintage Star Wars day!

I will be celebrating with the movie, some popcorn and a big pot of tea.

This was the first post the thread took me to. For a brief moment I thought Mark’s Down had returned.

It’s long concerned me how she just vanished into the ether like that. I miss her.

Though I’m uncertain “handsome” is the right descriptor.

The Nothing but Trouble DVD’s pan-&-scan. I think a higher power’s trying to communicate something.

Friday the 13th: A New Beginning is better than all the F13 sequels which followed. It’s a moronic movie, certainly, but at least its stupidity is simpatico with the stupidity of the previous entries. Zombie Jason lowered the series to a new level of mindlessness, and it kept descending from there.

If Lucas hadn’t decided to put SW on hiatus after ROTJ, if he’d decided to immediately go forward with a PT & ST (in whichever order), without deviating from the “new-SW-film-every-three-years” formula, we’d have gotten nine SW films within a 24-year stretch.

TRILOGY I

• 1977
• 1980
• 1983

TRILOGY II

• 1986
• 1989
• 1992

TRILOGY III

• 1995
• 1998
• 2001

Have to say, I’m disappointed this didn’t pan out. It would’ve been nice to have gotten three SW films in the '90s instead of just one.

Nostalgia for VHS can be as warm & fuzzy as the image quality of VHS itself.

Star Wars conversation with a friend a few months ago…

Me: “If you want to watch the original trilogy the way we saw it as kids I have the “Despecialized” versions without the cgi in HD…”

Friend: “Naw, man. When I want to watch the originals I’ve got my old VHS tapes, and they still work fine.”

(He points over at a shelf, I notice they’re the fullscreen Special Edition tapes, I scream internally.)

That’s some god-tier existential terror right there.

I remember that hairstyle being fairly popular among the boys I went to school with in the '90s. I never understood the appeal.

Second, pitching all of Hayden’s episode 3 lines lower so that his voice sounds closer to Matt Lanter’s Anakin.

I’m disappointed no one has done this yet.

I’m a deviated prevert, and even I see nothing.

I don’t like being reminded of 2004. That year was the beginning of the end for me.

Come now, Rey. Admit it — twincest turns you on.
