Alright, here’s the genesis behind this fan-edit idea: while I like the first two episodes of the OOT, I don’t think they’re perfect; there are some things from the SEs – and my own imagination – I’d like to see in the films instead. So, with that in mind, I’d create a fan-edit of the first two films which reflects what I believe to be definitive version of those two films.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of proper tools and resources, I can’t actually make this fan-edit. However, I’d still like to give life to my fan-edit in some fashion, so I’ll do so through the tried-and-true method of creative writing.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering why I’m calling this hypothetical fan-edit “The Divergent Edition”, it’s because I call the entire universe of my personal canon the Star Wars Divergent Universe (Alternate Universe, Parallel Universe, etc. were all already picked).

Thinking about it, I'd like to see a spinoff where Threepio gets stranded on a planet inhabited by warring bands of organics and cyborgs, forcing him to act as an intermediary for the two sides. It'd bring some meaning to that nebulous "human-cyborg relations" job description of his. 

It annoys me that when I go on-line to search for Mary Jane art by Mark Bagley, pretty much all I get is stuff from his run on Ultimate Spider-Man and virtually nothing from his run on Amazing Spider-Man.

I don't want any episode 7-9 villains to be revealed as the power behind Palpatine's or Mothma's throne.

 How about if they're the power behind Mothra's throne?

That'd be groovy.

I'm fine with Morrison as Boba.  The voice thing isn't a big deal to me, he says like two lines in ESB and if you're not listening carefully it doesn't even sound that different anyway. 

You must be from that universe where Jason Wingreen and Temuera Morrison have similar voices. 

^It's a deliberate creative decision, you fool!

Damn Illuminati.

Here's my random thought:

Star Wars is perfection because even the shitty parts make wish I lived there.

This is what happens after you become a zombie from drinking the Lucasfilm/Lucas Licensing Kool-Aid.

Star Wars is full of Jedi VS Sith. And I LOVE all that force users kickin' the shit out of each other crap to death.

I want to see a movie where Jedi and Sith battle it out -- through chess*!

*Or dejarik. Take your pick. 

^Insanity. Pure, unadulterated, psychedelic, Ralph Bakshiesque insanity.

I'm currently watching the '60s Spider-Man cartoon, and I've just started on the third and final season.

I haven't much to say beyond that this is the greatest worst TV series I've ever seen in my entire life -- I can't think of anything else I've seen that comes even close to being as horribly beautiful as this show.

Suffice it to say, first chance I get I'm buying all three seasons on DVD.

When Jedi Knight first came out, I didn't like that Kyle ended up (in the Light Side ending) with a yellow lightsaber instead of something more conventional like a blue blade.

Now I love it and wish they'd kept that in Jedi Outcast, instead of giving Kyle a brand-new blue saber from out of nowhere.

They did that to virtually all Jedi characters once AOTC began rearing its ugly head, even when it didn't make any sense in-universe (this character, for example, chronologically goes from having a violet lightsaber to a blue lightsaber then back to a violet lightsaber if you take the comics at literal face value). 

I really need to read/re-read the Silver and Bronze Age Spider-Man comics. I really have little idea of who Gwen Stacy is, and as a self-identifed Spidey fan that's just pathetic.

It's times like these where I take smug, self-satisfied pride in the fact that I haven't seen even one of Michael Bay's movies.

I definately share a fondness for the duel between Exar Kun and Vodo-Siosk Baas myself. As for others, though, I can't really say; so many of the duels either occur in books without any visual aids or in Clone Wars-era comics that I couldn't care less about.

I do know I liked this duel that occurred in the Star Wars: Rebellion comic series:

A non-Force sensitive protagonist with a red lightsaber holding his own against two Force users? There's no way on Earth or any other planet I couldn't love that.

I must also mention the various duels in the Dark Forces Trilogy. At the time I first read those books, I didn't like the idea of darksiders wielding non-red lightsabers, but suffice it to say, I've more than warmed up to the idea since the prequels came out.

Whatever meagre, ephemeral desire I ever may have had to watch The Thing went out the window when I saw that stupid CGI; whatever studio bigwig decided that looked better than the original physical effects is a braindead dumbfuck.

I didn't think it was possible, but my hatred for Hollywood has actually intensified.

The R2 in SW and ESB was a rude wise-ass with good intentions.  R2 in ROTJ has a strong pollyanna vibe.  For ROTJ R2, it seemed everything was always going to turn out just fine, you'll see.  SW/ESB R2 had a lot more negative things to say.

Couldn't this be chalked up at least in part to Threepio's responses to him? While he's always bad-mouthing him in the first two films, I don't recall him doing so much of that in ROTJ.

Wasn't there a thread about Vader's floating glass of water in the original drafts for Star Wars, which made it into a comic adaptation?  Basically the guy can't even be bothered to hold his own cup--it's the very definition of frivolous use of the Force.

We'll never know exactly why that wasn't filmed, but I like to think part of it was that in the early days, Lucas accepted criticism and when people told him something was idiotic and unnecessary, he didn't do it.

The fact that he wears an all-concealing helmet probably played a part in the decision as well. ;-)

I consider the director's cut of Dark City the origin story of the humans who inhabit the Star Wars galaxy. The Nosferatu aliens are Force-sensitives, Rufus Sewell's character is the first Force-sensitive human, and the space city they all live on becomes the first human settlement on Coruscant.
