I Approve of this version and endorse itSidewinder wrote:I'd leave the first half of Episode VI alone, but the second half will take place on Kashyyyk. When the Rebel commando team lands, Chewie identifies the meat as bait for what he assumes is a snare, and intentionally tugs it so he can summon other Wookiees to his aid-- the rest of the team is still caught in the net, which Chewie didn't expect.
The Rebels are taken to a village populated by escaped slaves-- Chewie tries to convince the Wookiees to help the Rebels, the Wookiees refuse due to fear of Imperial reprisals, and then Leia reminds the Wookiees that the Death Star I destroyed the planet over which it was constructed, i.e., once the Death Star II is completed, Kashyyyk will be destroyed.
The escaped slaves tell the Rebels about the Imperial base's backdoor, and, using weapons taken from disarmed Stormtroopers, support the Rebel attack. After the shield generator falls, the Death Star II commander orders the battle station to be moved away from Kashyyyk, so it won't be damaged by the fireball resulting from firing the superlaser at the planet to destroy the Rebel fleet there-- no "Kashyyyk Holocaust" for this film. Then Lando successfully destroys the Death Star's reactor and sets off the chain reaction that destroys it.
The end of the movie can be the same as the real Episode VI, with the exception that it's the Wookiees celebrating their freedom from slavery, not the damn Ewoks.
You mean like X-23? Please abandon this idea. "Wolverine with boobs" is bad enough.Galvatron wrote:My current idea is that the "other" is a modified clone of Anakin. A female one. Roughly Luke's age. Created from genetic samples taken from Anakin during the Clone Wars.
I'm with Sidewinder. LAME, Galvs. You were good up until this point.Sidewinder wrote:You mean like X-23? Please abandon this idea.

THAT rendezvous wasn't ROTJ anyway; it was in SOTE.Galvatron wrote:The problem with placing Jabba anywhere else is that Luke specifically tells Lando that he'll rendezvous with them on Tatooine at the end of TESB. Why go there if not to follow Boba Fett?
Why not just be Anakin's daughter? Before Vader got his wife pregnant with Luke?Galvatron wrote:Well, I've never heard of this X-23 so I wouldn't say she influenced me. And I'd hope that just because an eerily similar idea appeared in a schlocky Marvel rag, it won't taint the entire concept.
However, allow me to make my case for why I enviosn her as a clone of Anakin:
1) She'd give us a credible "other" without introducing some alternate savior that's totally unrelated to the saga up to this point.
2) She'd give us a love interest for Luke other than Leia.
3) She'd resume the quest for justice on behalf of Anakin and the Jedi that Luke would no doubt abandon upon discovering Vader's true identity and their subsequent reconciliation. Instead, she would fill the role as her father's would-be avenger. I find that preferable to simply expecting Darth Vader to continue on in the story without reaping any consequences for his misdeeds in the prequels. It's a loose thread that needs exploring.
I agree. Its moral ambiguity. And just because Vader != Anakin originally with GL doesn't mean its actually a better idea.Anguirus wrote:I've been trying to figure out what bothers me about Galvatron's splitting of Anakin and Vader, and I think I finally hit on it (exaggerated for your amusement):
"Ben, why didn't you tell me?"
"Shit, man, I didn't know! Just because I knew Anakin and Vader and I have the Force and now I'm fucking immortal doesn't mean I know everything! I mean, holy shit! I'm just as blown away as you are! God, Anakin's wife...what a fucking cheating bitch!"
"Oh, ok, I guess my faith in my authority figure is shaken not because of his dishonesty but because of his stupidity. Retard!"
I think Ben being oblivious has a lot less emotional impact than Ben lying for his own convenience. At the end of ESB there is no "Anakin" and "Vader" in the storyline yet, there is just "Luke's father," who Vader has now claimed to be. Luke--who also has the Force--immediately understands that this is true and that Ben has indeed been less truthful than Vader himself. That's a powerful moment in ESB.
This is good, but would she then be in the prequels?Galvatron wrote:Well, I've never heard of this X-23 so I wouldn't say she influenced me. And I'd hope that just because an eerily similar idea appeared in a schlocky Marvel rag, it won't taint the entire concept.

So he could nail the female clone of who he thought was his dad? That seems just as bad as the sister.2) She'd give us a love interest for Luke other than Leia.
So she would be Luke's adversary then? I thought she was going to be a love interest? A female Jedi with revenge on her mind that is a love interest... Sounds too similar to Mara Jade for my tastes.3) She'd resume the quest for justice on behalf of Anakin and the Jedi that Luke would no doubt abandon upon discovering Vader's true identity and their subsequent reconciliation.
