Ady, can or will you change ROTJ Mon Mothma to the Prequel/Rogue One actress Genevieve O’Reilly.

No. Changing any character to match a different portrayal is a bad idea. Especially when the original performance is good and memorable and the other is from films I don’t care about.

As far as Anakin’s force ghost, why not start out as Sebastian Shaw, he looks over to Ben, that’s where he changes to Hayden’s Anakin, as he turns to look back at Luke.

Oh god, no!

Why is the bowstring going behind her head? I don’t expect that to feel pleasant if she accidentally sends the arrow flying.

That’s the joke. It’s obviously playing off that old Zelda/Link misconception, but adding a misogynistic twist in that she’d be dumb because she would be a she.

The bowstring disappears in the middle of her hat. I think the reason it does is so we get a clear view of the face, rather than that. Just bad art I guess.

It’s going behind the hat. The hat folds over the string.

Ranking the Star Wars films

My ranking:
★★★★★

  1. The Empire Strikes Back DESPECIALIZED
  2. Star Wars DESPECIALIZED
  3. Return of the Jedi DESPECIALIZED

So you like despecialized movies more than the actual originals? Huh.

I certainly like watching them over any official version. The picture and sound quality is miles ahead of the official product and the SE changes have been erased to the point that I can’t tell they were ever there.

More of a misunderstanding than a misconception, but I used to think “There is another” referred to Darth Vader, because he ultimately is the one who defeats the emperor and I thought Yoda had the foresight to see this. Mind you I was very young at the time and the only prequel that had yet been released was TPM. Looking back, my misunderstanding sounds like something GL would ret-con into being “his original intention” nowadays.

Bingowings said:

I think this is just evidence of you young Darth Lucas being more insightful than middle-aged George Lucas.
Using this interpretation you can short cut the originally intended sister plot to have ROTJ as the ‘final’ episode without the need to make Leia Luke’s sister.

Yeah, I prefer that over “Oh, it was your sister. We could have used her if you failed. No big deal.”

In the scene when Luke is calling out to Leia I took it that the reason she was able to hear him was because deep down it was Luke who she truly loved not Han.

It might have been the original intention of the creative crew at that time, since Han was later supposed to die in EpVI and Luke was supposed to go looking for his sister who is not Leia.

Nah, it’s clearly meant to be through the force. “True love” doesn’t enable telepathic communication. And Han and Leia just confessed their love for one another. Luke’s outta that picture. Actually, she never shows any romantic interest in Luke in the films. ROTJ stupidly blurs this line by making Han and Leia forget their time together during entire previous movie, but at the end of ESB it’s clear when this issue stands.

???

She kisses Luke in ESB. It’s obvious to you or me that it’s just to get a rise out of Han, but not necessarily so obvious to a kid, and Luke seems fairly pleased by it all.

So it is clear than Leia has no romantic interest in Luke and really does like Han. Weather or not little kids pick up on this is irrelevant.

How does ROTJ blur that line? Early in ROTJ: “Someone who loves you” and then later “I love you”, “I know”. Do you mean Han’s response when Leia senses Luke after the Death Star is destroyed?

Yeah, that’s what I mean. And the scene on the bridge in the Ewok town. And then again when “It’s not like that. He’s my brother.” “OOooohh…” (dumb goofy look) . It’s lame. Just so there can be a resolution to a love triangle that was never there.

That’s possibly the most confusing sentence I’ve ever written. How it got to be that way I’ve no idea… Here’s what I was trying to say:
This isn’t the right thread for the discussion he’s trying to have, but I don’t think he’s doing that (asking somebody to make edits for him) either. He should learn to post these things in Random Thoughts.
