The variable-length saber is also mentioned again in the NJO novels, wielded by Corran Horn IIRC.

Shit, I forgot there isn't an edit button in this forum.

It's mentioned in a few places aside from that. Corran appears to be the only one of the current Jedi that uses one however.

The BEST lightsabre fighting of the whole series! (Not these acrobatic show-offs and light brandishing, some REAL sword fencing.)
And Tarkin! Give us Tarkin!

The EU established that Boba escaped the Sarlack or however you spell it.

I know the order of canon and stuff roughly, but what about GL saying something? Didn't he say that Boba died in that Sarlacc before? Would that override the EU or is it not technically the movies so it doesn't count?

First and foremost, I've always exspressed the idea that Mace and Donku should fight, and then a berserk Anikin should bust in their and have a three way lightsaber battle, with Ani trying to kill anyone in his way, Donku trying to kill them both, and Mace trying to kill Donku without hurting Ani. Which ofcourse results in Mace's demise and then lets Anikin focus all his concentration in making Donku pay for his arm with his head

For the new light saber, I think a lightsaber on a expandable pole, like a force lance. Allowing the user to fight like a normal lightsaber, and hten expand it to put some real force behind a blow. I want to see Akbar serving over Tarkin, and then later on quits as they star getting racial disgusted by the empire.

Jar Jar must die. He doesn't get off to some planet to spend the rest of his years, he doesn't die saving Padme's life, he doesn't die with any meaning, just pointless violent justice.

Hmm. Jar Jar is secretly Yoda's gay lover and they fled to Dagobah before the Jedi purge. After Luke gets there Jar Jar gets jealous and breaks up with Yoda. Luke leaves but Yoda never gets back with Jar Jar and Yoda dies of a broken heart.

Damn it, it all makes sense.

Just kidding. That would just be evil.

I'd like to see how Palpatine decides to disband the Senate. Whenever I heard Tarkin say they got rid of the Senate, I always envisioned an army of Stormtroopers barging into a huge hall filled with government officials. Then they read off some official Imperial stuff from a document and gun everyone down. And then I'd like to see massive Imperial atrocities and oppression so I can finally shut up all of those pro-Imperials on this message board.

And to see how badly the galaxy was doing under Imperial rule.

GL word can't be taken for anything. He changes his mind constantly for one. I don't belive it is anywhere in the canon/offical layout anyway. Until its written and publish or in a film it has no value.

We could have a scene when someone says "Watch out Boba!" as Mace Windu jumps to strike him down. The kid turns around and unwittingly hits Mace in the butt with the gaffi stick he was using to reach something. Mace's force levitation is accidentally triggered, and he flies into the mouth of a giant Bantha. The Bantha doesn't notice and chews on him, killing him. Boba says "he's Bantha fodder now" and thus the expression is coined.

If I heard that would be in it, it would destroy any hope that I have in GL's skills.

But disbanding the Senate is recent news during the first minutes of A New Hope, I don't think Lucas is going to sew together Ep. III and IV so closely.

The stormtrooper/clones horseshit closed.

Boba Fett · Post by **Boba Fett** » 2002-11-27 07:10am

I want to see a large scale space battle, including some Z-95, R-41, VSD, Dreadnought, etc.
(I hope they will forget those idiotic looking droid battleships)

I want to see some scene how Boba Fett earns the title "The best bounty hunter in the galaxy"! (maybe killing some Jedi or Windu himself)

I want to see what happens to Yoda. I mean he's hiding on Dagobah in the OT, so a duel between Yoda and Darth Sidious should be great where Yoda should realize that he can't win against Darth Sidious.
This way the future Emperor also will grant some respect to himself because we never saw what happens if he unleash his dark power.
He were simple dropped down to a tunnel by Vader...no levitation, no real attempt to fight back...that was always out of line for me.

Sauron/Tyranus/Vader, please edit your location field. It's messing up the message board.

I could picture the redemption of Jar Jar in him being the guy who brings Luke to Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru, after being horrible mangled by Anakin, and dying on Tatooine. In answer to 'who did this to you?!' he'd answer, "Wasa little Annie... 'cept little Annie... all growed up now... an' fallen to the dark side he has. Now he's Darth Vader.... *gack*choke*rattle*gasp*thud*" And Jar Jar becomes an ex-Gungan. And this explains that interesting little conversation between Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru in the beginning of ANH:

"You can't keep him here forever, Owen."
"I'll make it up to him, after the harvest."
"There's too much of his father in him."
"That's what I'm afraid of."

It's probably 5 minutes more of Jar Jar than we really deserve, but it'll redeem the character, put him to a final end (if we're stuck with him anyway, and he needs to make up for what he did for proposing giving Palpy emergency powers, anyway; death is too good for him!

) and maybe just make it suitably dark.

I dunno. Just a thought. =)

Stormbringer · Post by **Stormbringer** » 2002-11-28 12:02am

That might actually be a good ending for him, a fitting one if nothing else.

Cal Wright · Post by **Cal Wright** » 2002-11-28 12:55am

One thing, is that at no point in the movie do we know or have any inkling that Anakin Skywalker is Darth Vader. We can see his ass get tossed in a fucking pit of molten lava all damn day. However, when that fucking suit walks into the room, and the damn breathing goes off, it's a sith lord and we have no idea who the fuck he is, or where the fuck he came from. we know that Anakin is Darth Vader. that's all fine and fucking dandy. however in III I DON'T want to see that. I feel it would just be some bitchin shit. That and a fucking Imperial Star Destroyer rolling up and blasting the hell out of a Trade Federation ship. boo...yah!

Currald · Post by **Currald** » 2002-11-28 03:09am

Uh, except they were foreshadowing the hell out of the Vader angle in EP2.
I don't want any ISDs until EP4. That opening shot, with the HUGE ISD shouldn't be ruined by premature exposure.

Post by **weemadando** » 2002-11-28 03:50am

I want to see a fully turned to the dark side Anakin going on a rampage through the Jedi temple, just slaughtering all the padawans etc.

I want a fleet battle extraordinaire.

I want a BDZ.

I want TARKIN!
