What if…Palpatine kills the kids?
Killing kids in the first place is just an unfortunate consequence of the stupid Anakin being too old thing in the Phantom Menace. Cut that out, and you can cut out the younglings in Episode 2, and then there’s no younglings to be killed in Episode 3.

What is a political compass meme?
You’re better off not knowing

If Force Sensitivity was a thing, why does Vader say this so casually? Why would he just kind of note “Hmm, the Force is strong with this one” and not flip shit that you just discovered someone with lots of midichlorians?
Checkmate atheists
Also cut out “my” so the viewer doesn’t think Palpatine owns Yoda
Cut right from Han getting frozen in ESB to him being thawed in RotJ, with a black screen until Luke goes to Dagobah.
The Empire Strikes Back. There’s no screwing around, you know exactly what this movie is going to be about. It’s not that I think more interpretive titles or more vague titles are bad, but I just think it’s kind of funny how absolutely straight to the point it is. If you count “Star Wars” instead of “A New Hope”, this is why I’d also say “Star Wars” has the second best title.
and not just that Luke reached out to the only human he knew was nearby.
Well, he is specifically calling out to her.
Remove “Episode I” subtitle from TPM and pretend it was a one-off film from 1999 that was never expanded upon.

Interesting. Please post the link here. It’s the perfect topic to have such documentation for examination.
It’s… really not worth watching. He put it on OT.com back in, like, March, and the thread’s still up if you wanna see us talking about how awful of a video it is. He keeps posting it everywhere though and keeps getting a similar response, IDK why he’s so attached to it.
I would recommend though that OOJason remove the RocketJump video from this post. Despite the Nerdonymous video “debunking” it being pretty bad, the RocketJump video has some critical errors. Plus, RocketJump’s video really does not argue that Lucas deserves less credit for making the OT, and this post including this video to try to argue that point drags the post down. One bad point is enough to ruin a whole argument.
Also worth mentioning that trying to lessen the credit for George Lucas in the creation of the OT is just not really accurate. The editors deserve a lot of credit and the auteur theory conception of Lucas as the sole visionary behind Star Wars is wrong (as it always seems to be with creatives who try to lessen the contribution of their collaborators). But Lucas still was the director, he still wrote the story, and he was still the leader of the group that made the OT, and he still deserves to be credited as the creator of Star Wars.
If this post is meant to set the record straight, point #3 should be removed. It gives the wrong impression and goes too far in the other direction.
Edit:
Similarly with number 39, it should probably also be removed, or at least very modified. I get the point that’s trying to be made: Lucas isn’t the only one who can claim authorship over ESB and RotJ, and so the “They’re his films” approach to the SEs doesn’t apply here. But it’s something that’s wishy-woshy and close enough to the realm of opinion that I don’t think it should be included. On top of the title being “Who made the Original Trilogy films…?”, that’s way too close to discrediting Lucas for me to be comfortable with.
Maybe it should be refocused to something about how Lucas once said he considered ESB and RotJ to be Kershner and Marquand’s movies, not his movies, but now he’s gone back on that.
He further opined that he felt Star Wars “wasn’t his film” because of all the others’ ideas and skills and talent that went into the movie it was becoming.
Also, I’d really like to see this quote if you know where it came from.
If you kept adding more AotCs, at what point would the discomfort from watching AotC be less of a significant factor than the exhaustion from watching movies for so long?
Why? Knight of Kalee’s explanation works fine and makes more sense. It’s also what I assumed when seeing TRoS.
I don’t know if I posted this on here before, because I had this idea months ago, but I like the idea that Anakin and Padme aren’t, like, soulmates or whatever like the movies imply, but they just kind of have the hots for each other. Their love is “forbidden” because it would be a bad idea if two people from such radically different walks of life got together, it just wouldn’t work out. But they get together one night in a moment of passion, and if you screw with the timeline a little, the reason they stick together is because they accidentally conceived Luke and Leia.
Why not
it doesn’t seem rude
How many legs does a sheep have if you call its tail a leg?
I hate people who engage in self-defense. How pathetic and selfish do you have to be to defend your life?
He’d be a spirit, he wouldn’t have to abide by the laws of the corporeal world. The distance doesn’t really mean much when you have no physical form.
despite that being so much of a lie a guy made a 2 hour video debunking it.
There’s something really cheeky about putting this in this thread, but I can’t put it into words. I was gonna say that it was super ballsy to call it baffling when, even if you disagree with them, there are pretty reasonable criticisms of Rey Palpatine. But that’s a little subjective, isn’t it?
Maybe it has to do with the quality of the argument in favor. Because you literally say “Sure, Rey has gotten over her parents by the end of TLJ, but she didn’t get over her grandparents” in the thread you linked.
Of course, Rey comes to terms with the truth in TLJ and stops caring about her parents, but just because she stopped caring about them doesn’t indicate as to whether she cares about her grandparents or not.
Sure. It’s the people who are against the decision to make Rey a Palpatine who are baffling.
Sigh, did you bother to read the post or just take my hyperbolic summery as the entire point?
You can’t really make such a deadpan “hyperbolic summary” and then get upset with someone when they take it seriously, especially because there was no real indication that you weren’t being serious until after the fact.
Look, all evidence points to him constantly changing his mind. Yes, he’s said he wanted to do 9 films. There was also a time when he wanted to do 12. In 2005 he’d settled on 6 and hasn’t walked back on it since. Yes, he did propose Sequels to Disney, but only because they were gonna make them anyway.
All creatives and artists change their mind. Why is George so ridiculed for evolving and changing his stance and opinions from time to time about the story he wants to tell? I’ll never understand it.
He’s not ridiculed, and nobody cares that he changes his mind. People point out that these grand narratives he likes to spin about Star Wars, and that his fans seem to like to spin on their own independent of him, often contradict reality and each other. One of these being that he totally had this huge 6 part, 9 part, 12 part, or whatever the story is today part, story planned out all the way back in 1973.
In ANH Obi-Wan described Vader as having hunted down the Jedi, so your idea conflicts with that.
Neverar’s idea doesn’t contradict ANH any worse than the theatrical RotS already does.
I’d probably avoid the younglings altogether, though. Palpatine killing them feels really goofy, I’m just imagining him spinning all over the Jedi temple lol
Ah. That’s how I’d do it ideally, but something like that is beyond what I really think I’d be able to do.
WIP: Luke deactivates his lightsaber immediately in the third flashback; he doesn’t realise Kylo is awake and hears it. VFX shot courtesy of SparkySywer.
Wait, did he actually complete the shot? I knew he had plans to make that edit a while back, but he actually finished it?
It’s on youtube if you want to see it. I don’t know if this is identical to what will be in TLJ: Stoic, because Faraday implied he’d be making alterations of his own, but this is what I gave him. Well, I gave a higher bitrate version of this.
