Yes, another very interesting aspect of the ever-evolving SW narrative back in the day - thanks for a fascinating read.
For me the biggest disappointment was making Leia the ‘sister/other hope’ - apart from making no sense generally, I felt it robbed her of her agency somewhat.
I do recall she got a shot at Vader in Splinter of the Mind’s Eye but I don’t remember if it was handled well.
I’m surprised SOTME hasn’t yet been been made into an animated form (a la Heir To The Empire) - or even being made into a ‘fan film’ - given the main focus on the three characters on a single setting.
One day, maybe…

I’m not sure I’d be brave enough to show the OT to somebody who has never seen it before and is maybe on the younger side. I couldn’t handle them saying that the films are boring and the special effects outdated lol.
Best show them the original theatrical cut - and none of the various Special Editions, then. 😉

Hey Noah / Master Lawdog, I’m very exited to discover your project as it’s been ages I didn’t listened to an HP audiobook.
Is it still available to listen ?
Kind regards
Hi I’d love to download these if you still have them. Thanks.
Hi, I’ve just joined and I’d also like to know this please!

Hopefully the project threads will soon get back to being discussions about the actual projects themselves - queries, feedback, reviews, exchange of ideas, suggestions for future versions etc - and not be full of endless & unnecessary ‘link request’ posts (which has led to a number of both fan project creators & contributing members leaving the community here in recent times).
Good luck with it. 👍
tough to pick just one but the final rescue of kleya in Andor S2 was very well constructed; so much anticipation and uncertainty in those hallways. also the prison break in S1… andor is by far the best star wars show
Those are are a couple of great calls, mate. Full agree on those hallway scenes - so much tension and a state of precariousness.
Seems like Andor and Visions is doing well in the ‘Best/Favourite Scenes’ so far…
I’d also add the introduction of General Grievous in the 2003 Clone Wars series (by Genndy Tartakovsky):-
www.youtube.com/watch?v=177oMdZkU9A - an 8 minute video from the Scendence youtube channel.
For me… it was a masterclass of a presentation for the latest ‘big villain’ of the dark side ranks in the GFFA. And with it Grievous had instantly become one of the most intriguing and engaging antagonists in the whole of Star Wars. Leaving us fans wanting to know so much more - and anticipation of what would happen next. And then ROTS happened…
Still, in the 2003 Clone Wars… he was fantastic; a truly menacing and compelling character.
I’ve been looking forward to reading this for a while - congratulations on finishing and publishing it, MsCthulhu. Thank you for returning and sharing it with us, too. 👍
“Rebel Preservationists” is a lovely term - I’m sure many here and in the other fan-communities will appreciate that!
^ The Hiroshima Castle Eucalyptus, an atomic bomb survivor
a snippet…
'In Japan, an organization is planning how to help ensure the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings are remembered for thousands of years, rather than hundreds.
Its plan revolves around the hibakujumoku or the A-bomb-surviving trees of Hiroshima.
With the 80th anniversary of the bombings having just concluded, it’s worth taking a moment to learn about the trees that survived one of our nation’s darkest decisions.
The giant fireball that proceeded the detonation of the atom bomb, if it can believed, couldn’t wipe out all the trees in the blast zone. This eucalyptus tree, for example, was only half a mile from the epicenter.’

I don’t think you could pay me enough to go to this event…
Aye mate, it is certainly not for everyone. 👍
I think for many of us here mate it’s simply be the OOT. With some here maybe having a few alterations from the later SE cuts.
IIRC, a number of Fan Edits for the Original Trilogy did just this a few years back - mainly being based on the OOT - with the editor’s preference for a few scenes inserted into to them.
You also bring up quite an interesting point - which audio dubs were better / improved for the various language releases?
Good to see the 2011 audio get some love (for the sound quality from the German voices being a great improvement on the previous releases).
👍
Yep, that looks pretty much exact. Would be happier if I could match yours, though. 😉

Yeah, a few of us old enough to remember thought we’d be getting a more few films - and it certainly felt like they’d be ‘making these movies til the end of time’ in our younger days - though not necessarily be directed by George…
George Lucas is also quoted here as saying “There should be at least three or four [further films], but I won’t direct them. I made the prototype. I’ll not do that again. Let others interpret it their own way…” below…
^ a screenshot image taken from the ‘Lucas: Galactic General of Star Wars’ article in the LA Times - back in June, 1977.
From George Lucas himself back in 1979 - from Issue 15 of ‘Star Wars Official Poster Monthly’ - when asked if it bothered him allowing other directors to make other Star Wars films:-
Indeed, the original plan for the Star Wars films was seemingly to have different directors for each movie - to benefit from having the respective input, styles and focus brought by each director…
^ from an interview with Gary Kurtz, on Page 22 of the 'Once Upon A Galaxy: A Journal of The Making of The Empire Strikes Back’ book, published in 1980.
Even after Return of The Jedi we had the two theatrical Ewok films; John Korty’s ‘Caravan Of Courage’ in 1984 (May 1985 in the UK cinemas), followed by Ken and Jim Wheat’s ‘Battle For Endor’ in 1985 (April 1986 in the UK cinemas).
Yeah, they were ‘spinoffs’ - but were still ‘Star Wars’ to our young eyes… and we didn’t have to wait 3 year between films like we did for the Original Trilogy… though we didn’t quite know they were seemingly aimed at younger kids (my younger siblings loved them at the time - though they deny that now! 😉)
In 1987, at the 10th Anniversary, George was still talking about what the next Star Wars films would be…
10th Anniversary Edition in 1987? Was anything released or done? - and scroll down to the ‘George on stage’ videos.
But a strong piece of evidence for this as a widespread perception in the early 80s appears in the lyrics of the Weird Al Yankovic song “Yoda”, a parody of “Lola”, and released in the mid-80s. It has lyrics like this (paraphrasing):
I know Darth Vader’s really got you annoyed,
But remember if you kill him then you’ll be unemployed,
Oh my Yoda… (chorus)
The long term contract I had to sign,
Says I’ll be making these movies to the end of time!
Oh my Yoda… (chorus)
Love that, mate. 👍

a snippet…
'Kinberg also praised the current generation of creators shaping the franchise, citing Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy, storyteller Dave Filoni, and Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy as sources of inspiration.
“There’s a ton of wildly talented folks that want to do great work,” Kinberg said. “I was super inspired and just sort of awestruck by what Tony Gilroy did with Andor. I thought that was about as good of science fiction storytelling as you can do in any franchise.”

That really is a poor comparison… 300 pages of threads over 25 years… overlooking and glossing over others who contributed to the Original Trilogy… and you compare it to an example conversation/thread on Batman v Superman?
All whilst ignoring the history of TFN with OOT fans - and outlook in general, even today - as mentioned previously.
Well, you’re in luck - there’s plenty to learn about the many contributions of others to the Original Trilogy on here. 👍
I didn’t ignore. It had nothing to do with what I said, so I didn’t respond. It doesn’t change anything about what I said, as I was speaking on individuals, not a blanketing of a collective site, and didn’t argue for the site in any way. Just pointed that members criticize Lucas there, which isn’t countered by what was said. What’s wrong with that?
You started a conversation with me re TFN…
Have you tried looking over at TFN…? 😉
Oh I bet they love us over there.
Been there. I see generally criticism of Lucas’ writing choices as well as other things. Even though the majority seems to err on the side that Lucas was a stronger creative than all of the ST writers. Which is a sentiment I think moreso similarly on.
I simply replied… and the discussion then flows and moves as they usually do. Try reading the replies without placing the onus being on yourself (there sure are a lot of 'I’s in your above post); I merely highlighted the general outlook of TFN historically, and pointed out in my last reply to you…
Well, you’re in luck - there’s plenty to learn about the many contributions of others to the Original Trilogy on here. 👍
Anyway, let’s not derail the thread further - 8/9 posts on TFN in here is likely 8/9 posts too many - and get back on topic of the thread itself: George Lucas: Star Wars Creator, Unreliable Narrator & Time Travelling Revisionist… - thank you.
Though if you’d like to continue the above conversation send me a PM. 👍
