yeah thats pretty good


Star Wars, the whole OT but especially IV, would have been almost purely better without any space elements. It's a Western with wizards, and the same plot and themes and supernatural elements happening just outright in America would have been both more fun and more provocative.

Yeah, you can reset star wars in a fantasy setting, and the only thing you really lose is the ww2 dogfighting. Replace that with airships, dragons, griffins, cloaks of flying, and you're golden.

Honestly just actually have it be "WW2 but some guys developed hippie magic" would rule.

Nothing in Star Wars has ever been improved buy explaining it, and the the setting actually shrinks the more attempts are made at expanding it.

Every Star Wars movie is made worse by every other Star Wars movie and would be better stand alone, except really ESB which is better off thanks to ANH.

If this makes prequels more incoherent and fever dreamish: good.

If Lucas didn't come up with it, it isn't canon

What's the boundaries for this? Cuz sounds like Episodes I-IV are canon, and V onwards are not

the stormtrooper armor isn't supposed to be effective, it's simply supposed to give the wearer a sense of security so they'll happily run into blaster fire

those bastards wear it just walking around on tattooine, it's got to breath incredibly well.

Sheev is both a clever and insanely lazy first name for Palpatine. "Shee" is the celtic pronunciation of the word Sith, so his name is literally just Sith Palpatine.

Extremely in keeping with a series where the main character is "Dark Daddy."

Give Lynch a short film. He'd kill on it.

Let's just declare "What Did Jack Do?" to be canon star wars.

Citizen Kane as a Star Wars movie, but replace the snow globe with a holocron holding the wisdom of Jedi Master Roe Zbud

Other way, edit ROTJ so that Yoda's last words are "There is another....Rosebud"
