When the KOTOR games and TOR are set. They should be set in ~2000-1000 BBY (so that they’d be part of the “New Sith Wars” and lead into the “Republic Dark Age” and continuity with TOTJ wouldn’t be an issue) and KOTOR II should be set at least 100 years after Revan’s lifetime and during the Republic Dark Age.
I also wish the Jedi and Sith wore armor resembling Vader’s throughout the prequels.
Dark Empire never said “Sith” besides the scene where Palpatine visits Korriban, and it’s made clear in that scene that Palpatine isn’t one of them.
In Rise of Skywalker, Palpatine being a “Sith” and his desire for “the Sith” to be “reborn” is frequently mentioned.
Obviously not everything is exactly like in the Comic but it often is far to similar to be a coincidence. I now looked up the comic again and to me it looks like they even nearly copypasted some shots from the comic.
The entrance to Exegol for example looks extremely similar to Palpatines arrival on Korriban. (the big Sith statues to the side, the ship in the background even the camera angle)
Another example is how Palpatine is consumed by his own Force power. Look at the scene that happens on the Eclipse in the comic and compare it to the movie. (camera angle, Palpatines pose, the look of his face)
I was sharing a fun fact, not denying the connection.
The Jedi having a public temple and Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Yoda being famous. The Original Trilogy that few people were ever aware that the Jedi existed, that even fewer people were that Anakin was one and that what Uncle Owen claimed was wrong, and that even fewer people than that were aware of Yoda’s existence.
“Darth” being a title. Should every Jedi have “Ben” as a title?

The original trilogy implies that:
What I would’ve done:
The Jedi would’ve been a small religious order, their numbers somewhere between 100,000 & 1,000,000. They would’ve served as diplomats, advisors, and during the Clone Wars, as tacticians (they wouldn’t have fought on the battle field; that’s stupid). The general public would’ve had very little knowledge of the Jedi, and even less exposure to them.
I feel like them having a temple on the Galactic Capital planet and them fighting in public battles doesn’t fit with the what the Original Trilogy tells us (that people don’t know who they are and don’t believe in The Force). I’d prefer that when they interact with the public in the prequels, they use aliases and that the public doesn’t know that they’re Jedi and isn’t aware of their powers.
Anakin would’ve been inducted into the Sith religion by the Sith spirits on Korriban. Palpatine wouldn’t have been a Sith at all, but an independent dark side sorcerer.
Empire’s End implies this. Palpatine is the one who turned Anakin to the Dark Side, but he could still have gone through the trials and got knighted on Korriban like Exar Kun.
In the prequels, the Jedi exist in the open and think that the Sith are extinct.
My idea is that instead, the public would be unaware of the existence of either, but the Jedi and Sith would be aware of each other’s existence, but wouldn’t know each other’s identities beyond aliases. The aliases used by Sith wouldn’t include “Darth” and there wouldn’t be a “Rule of Two”.
The idea that Palpatine’s goal was to prepare for the Vong. If that was the case, what was the goal of the Sith Lords before him, and why didn’t he warn anybody?
When it was the 20th anniversary of “Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears, I thought, “Too bad midriff-baring had fallen out of fashion by the time I reached puberty.”
GOUT is simply a DVD release of Faces.
As for sound mixes, I’d love to hear the mono mix of ANH.
Is it just me or did a lot of fans turn against the unaltered versions once the sale of Lucasfilm to Disney was announced? Before the sale to Disney, I always heard that Lucas was evil incarnate and that the Special Editions are unwatchable, but the day that the sale to Disney was announced, I started hearing “releasing the unaltered versions would result in the discontinuation of the Special Editions” or “releasing the unaltered versions would go against the canon”.
The claim that the prequels contradict Obi-Wan saying, “I don’t remember owning a droid.” Throughout the prequels, R2 went with Anakin and was owned by him and Padmé, not Obi-Wan.
Yoda warns Obi-Wan and Anakin to stay out of the Clone Wars because war leads to the dark side. However, Obi-Wan and Anakin are determined to save the galaxy, so they join the Clone Wars anyway. As the Clone Wars go on, Anakin becomes convinced that only a totalitarian regime with a strong military can “save” the galaxy and he comes to feel that giving into his hatred helps him defeat what he sees as threats to the peace and security of the galaxy.
Not sure if this is a “complaint”, but a claim I find baffling is the claim that Palpatine in the prequels was supposed to represent George W. Bush. TPM was released when Clinton was still President and AOTC was done filming when 9/11 happened.
The name “Jedi Civil War” for the conflict of KOTOR I is utter nonsense. Based on the logic for the name, every Sith War besides the Naga Sadow War and the Vitiate War would be a “Jedi Civil War”.
What’s TOTJ?
Tales of the Jedi. Comics about the pre-KOTOR history of the Sith.
I also think that the Star Forge should have been an invention of the Sith species or of the TOTJ Sith Empire instead of introducing the Rakata. Korriban was never stated to be the homeworld of the Sith species before KOTOR, so if they used the Sith species in place of the Rakata, they could have said that Korriban was just the only colony of the Sith species that the Jedi Exiles knew about and made the tropical planet at the end a colony that was founded before the Korriban colony and where the Sith species still thrives. If they made the Star Forge an invention of the TOTJ Sith Empire, they could have had the “True Sith” mentioned in KOTOR II turn out to be ruled by the Dark Lord who tattood Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma.
They should have made KOTOR the beginning of the “New Sith Wars”, with Revan being the “founder of the Sith” talked about in the TPM novelization. This way, the difference in aesthetics, technology, and institutions between TOTJ and KOTOR would make more sense (because KOTOR would take place 2000 years after TOTJ). I feel that it would make sense for the “founding of the Sith” referenced in the TPM novelization to also be the beginning of the “Darth” title and red lightsabers.
KOTOR II should have taken place many generations after KOTOR I and well into the New Sith Wars. Kreia talks about Revan as if he’s a historical figure rather than a contemporary and Kreia’s cynicism and the decimated Jedi would fit the endless Jedi-Sith conflict of the New Sith Wars.
Maybe canon could combine Ulic Qel-Droma and Revan into a single character. Ulic could start calling himself “Revan” in reference to his revanchism. This character could even be the founder of the Sith in canon.
That sounds good. Especially with Joruus, I am not a fan of cloned Emperor, Luke etc.
Agreed on Luke. Cloning Luke was absurd.
That certain things in the films don’t make sense because the EU says they don’t.
For example, the EU said that the Rule of Two was created at the same as the Sith disappearing, while in the movies by themselves, Yoda knowing about the Rule of Two makes perfect sense.
Instead of Jorus getting cloned as Joruus, Jorus survives, falls to the dark side, and does the things that Joruus does.
Jorus is the Guardian of Kamino instead of “Wayland”. Jorus’s job is to make sure the Kaminoans don’t try to rebel.
Mara Jade is the daughter of Palpatine and Talzin.
Mara Jade is the only Emperor’s Hand.
No Mara Jade in Jabba’s Palace. Sidious and Vader were trying to turn Luke, not kill him.
No command in Mara Jade’s mind.
No Luuke.
“Is being a Sith illegal?” Just there’s no law that says, “It is illegal to be a member of Al-Qaeda,” but that wouldn’t prevent Bin Laden from being arrested, tried, and getting the death penalty, the absence of a law that says, “It is illegal to be a Sith” doesn’t mean that Palpatine can’t be arrested and tried.

The second one is long, but they tie all the Marvel lore and the modern lore together.
