Sadly, when I went looking for a picture of the Fine Canadian Swimsuit Lass, she had expired.

And gone to meet her maker?

Go there? I live there.

Best thing ever.

THE PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW.

If the films need to pick up one thing from the PT it's Padme.

Luke has had his relationship with his father dragged out over three films.

The character of Padme kind of rolled into the dirt in ROTS.

Wouldn't Luke want to know more about her?

Wouldn't Leia become closer to her fragmented memories of her now that the Empire is gone?

If the OT was about absent fathers I think this one should be about absent mothers.

Both are mythical tropes and it would be interesting to explore the Star Wars universe from a more female perspective.

   In my opinion,  there would need to be some 'closure' regarding Leia and her father -  whom she only ever knew as Darth Vader  -  before the Luke coming to terms with mother thing.   ROTJ,  in my opinion,  glossed over the whole matter. 

A fine point.

I know they went over it in the EU, but it would certainly be interesting to see where the movies took it.

Though I'm guessing that twenty-some years later, a lot of this stuff will have already been addressed in the interim.

Gotta put some chili on there, too, right?

I missed this thread.

WRONG THREAT.

That happens less on a private server.

I think George Lucas is pretty cool guy.

Eh give money to charity and doesn't afraid of anything.

My friend hosts a server on Beastnode.

It's been pretty awesome so far.

Part of the lesson of the 6-episode series that we have is that the Jedi were idiots and were corrupted, and Luke succeeds because he DOESN'T follow their tradition. He rejects a lot of their fundamentals, like being older, being attached to people, etc. and becomes the greatest Jedi because he focuses on his attachment and that love is what saves him and heals the galaxy. He stands poised as a reformer who can re-shape the new Jedi order to be different than the flawed one of the past and break with their silly rules and traditions, so it makes sense from a story point of view that the prequel influence not be felt strongly.

Basically this is my theory as well.

THEBOOST SET UP US THEBOOST

This could be the end of all things.

Bingo has the right idea here.

If there is a sharp disconnect to appeal to one group it will be as divisive as what George did with the SE and the PT.

I don't think so.

The ways that the OT already doesn't jive with the PT are more likely to continue than not.

What I mean is, Luke isn't asked to become Obi-Wan's padiwan, so Luke has never heard that term, so he isn't likely to use it.  Why would he?*

Luke was not instructed to grow a rat tail upon starting his journey to become a Jedi knight, so how would he know of that tradition?  Why would he start it again?*

Luke's never heard of midichlorians.*

Luke's never heard of the Jedi Council.*

Luke's never seen two jedi break-dance-fight.*

No one in the OT mentions that stormtroopers were/are clones.*

No one mentions Naboo, Mustachefar, or the Genesis Planet.*

No one mentions the rule of two.*

No one told Luke that Jedi can't get married.*

No one told Luke that the prequels sucked.*

Why would any of that come up in the SWST?

 

*yet

 

Obviously in his quest to rebuild the Jedi Order, he would find vast repositories of this information that was once being hidden by the now-defunct Empire.

Hidden or destroyed?

Look, I guess you can say Luke found all of that stuff if you want to.

All I'm saying is- it won't be missed if it's not in there.  It's already not in the OT, so it's natural to leave it out of the SWST too.  It won't feel like an intentional slight if it's not there- they have every excuse to cut out the crappy bits and still have continuity on their side.

I'm just saying that's the route they took in the EU and likely the route they'd take in the ST (Bingo, your acronym caught on pretty quick) in order to explain all of that new stuff they added after the fact.

Another thread to steer clear of?!

This is getting out of hand!

In The Empire Strikes Back, Luke Skywalker takes a fall down an air shaft on Cloud City.

Weird to find an internet forum about Star Wars restoration populated mainly by introverts who dislike socializing.

IT'S WORKING!

IT'S WORKINGGGG!

Hey, they should put that line in a future movie that comes before A New Hope.

I thought this thread was about boners for a moment.

This could have terrifying repercussions.

All your Ace of Base are belong to me.

Yes.
