I hope George Lucas claws back all rights to Star Wars so he can personally specialize the Andor series to fix that.

The Star Warsian inability to ever let well enough alone is both a blessing and a curse. Mostly a curse, though.

Not as good as the 'look sir, droids' stormtrooper who it turns out was actually really good at armor combat and pointed out the basic flaw in AT-ATs (being you could trip them) and was thus reassigned to being a stormtrooper.

That's the real reason Palpatine wants to kill everyone in the galaxy who uses a lightsaber. He loves chicken-legged robots and just wants to watch them run around having fun.

TK-9091, the "set for stun" trooper Leia blasted, survived in the 2016 graphic novel adaptation because Leia had her gun set to stun for some reason That trooper group also got a chapter ("The Bucket") in the ANH From A Certain Point Of View novel quote:TK-4601 loved the Empire. He believed in it. He knew it could bring order and peace to the galaxy. But he also knew that he couldn’t keep doing what he was doing now…killing rebels while looking into their faces, their eyes, seeing them open and exposed, emotions naked to him, while they only saw flat black and white.

Just once, I want the backstory to be explained as "TK-1234 joined up because he didn't want to work on his family's dirt farm on Dirtooine. He was assigned to another bumfuck backwater planet, Tatooine, and spent his entire four year enlistment operating checkpoints for speeders and responding to bar fights at the local cantina. At one point, he stood at the checkpoint while Luke Skywalker and Obi Wan drove past, but he had no idea who they were and never found out. When he finished his enlistment, he became a plant farmer on a planet that could support plant life and never did anything of consequence to the galactic civil war. Every Empire Day, he insisted on getting as many free meals as possible at participating local restaurants."

Not that the Special Editions were ever that poorly made, but I imagine it having the horrendous editing and overlay of “Cool World”.

From now on, all Star Wars shows should reuse Stewart Copeland’s theme from Droids or David Bowie’s “Real Cool World.”

One of the neat things about the prequels is that is recontextualizes Leia as Anakin's daughter in a really interesting way, basically having her being the one who is able to murder people when she has to and letting Luke be the one agonizing over whether he's becoming too dark sided. If for whatever reason I got to pitch a Star Wars story it would be Leia does Hitman--post ANH she's no longer able to hobnob with Imperial bigwigs, so instead she has to do her assassinations via a series of increasingly elaborate disguises. I think the old and new EUs really wasted an opportunity in just making her "the politician" when she probably has just as high an on-screen body count as Han and Luke (Death Star excepted).

You mean the sequels because she is force aware and can pull herself back through a hull when she's frozed as a fishstick? So she could just force choke anyone in the New new republic rebellion senate that's going on too long when they take a drink of blue milk?

covidstomper58 posted:You mean the sequels because she is force aware and can pull herself back through a hull when she's frozed as a fishstick? Not entirely sure what you're going on about with the second part but I do really like that scene, honestly. Leia herself looks a little goofy, admittedly, but all of shards of glass and the way she flies straight through the hologram projector is all wonderful and John Williams is selling the hell out of it. And I imagine space is one of the easiest places to Force propel yourself on account of the lack of gravity. I don't want to call anybody out on it, but a lot of people suggested that the movie could have just killed Leia off in that scene after Carrie Fisher's death, and I can't think of anything more disrespectful to an actor than killing off her character midway through her arc because the actor died. The only thing that could possibly be worse than that would be Frankensteining her an ending from outtakes and deleted scenes. mllaneza posted:"I've set mine to kill!" was her line in the comic adaption. Now that's a line that would make Claremont proud!

I just read "Splinter of the Mind's Eye" which has a lot of reasonable grounds to criticise it on, but also Luke is constantly checking out Leia's rear end. At one point he's swinging beneath her on a jungle vine rope and his internal monologue is about how beautiful she is. Settle down, Luke!

Luke and Leia being constantly horny for each other, Luke insisting Leia kill both of them, just amazing.

I mean I assume you're saying there's an unspoken third option of allowing her story to conclude with all the footage they'd actually filmed and then somehow satisfactorily writing her out between films but that would be a big ask of good writers, which *gesticulates wildly at sequel trilogy* they didn't have, so I guess people arguing for the first point are being pragmatic about the fact they had a pre-existing offramp already filmed and easy to adjust the plot around Butterfly Valley fucked around with this message at 12:00 on Nov 12, 2025 |

They should have just adjusted the plot so Leia piloted the lightspeed ramming maneuver instead of Holdo. It would have been easy from a technical standpoint. Just use some footage of Carrie Fisher staring pensively out the window, then cut to a hand operating the ship's flight controls. That would have given her a heroic sacrifice to save the rebellion (and the galaxy at large) and wouldn't require a new cause of death to be invented for the next film. It also means they could keep Laura Dern around for the next film to fill out the roster of resistance senior leaders.

Replacing Holdo with Leia still runs into the problem that the movie is set up to lead to Holdo's sacrifice and not Leia's. It's not hard to do from a technical perspective, but it damages the movie as a whole and I still think it's disrespectful to the performance. If you were to carve out something of Fisher from TLJ to save for a future film, I'd go with the use of the original Leia hologram, as wonderful as I think that scene is. It's extremely difficult to use because it's mostly important to Luke, but hey Threepio was there too. Deploy it in a particularly appropriate moment and it would have been a nice tribute. It would require a deft screenwriter, but--oh hold on, I'm getting some terrible news about TROS. Butterfly Valley posted:...which is exactly what they did? Yeah that's what I'm saying, I would never miss a chance to make fun of TROS, the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic. There's a year in between TLJ and TROS; Leia died. It's not ideal, but it's by far the best option of the ones you've got. Ideally you could have the redemption of Kylo Ren hinge on some kind of message from Leia (featuring Harrison Ford who was apparently willing to come back). It would require a deft screenwriter, but--oh hold on, I'm getting some more terrible news about TROS.
