Disney buys Lucasfilm; Star Wars Episode 7 coming in 2015

[TheVoxyn]

I re-watched all six movies over the past two days, since a friend admitted to have never seen them. 4,5,6 were great and a lot of fun as usual (and my friend agreed). 1 and 2 were worse than I remembered, and I remembered them as being horrible. Especially episode 1 is absolutely atrocious. 3 I still find fun to watch and get's close to episode 6 in my opinion (Which I like least of the OT. Although the final confrontation is amazing of course).

[WindMaster]

Episode 1 is really bad. the only good part is the podraces. I love the podraces.

One of the worst parts of Episode 3 was when Padme names the kids. It's like:

*dying*
*baby*
"Luke"
*even more dying*
*baby*
"Leia"

[Adami]

Yeah, her death was really really bad writing.

YES.
 
It also brings up a HUGE continuity issue between ROTS and ROTJ, from how things in ROTJ were presented.  The conversation between Luke and Leia (before Luke has the final confrontation with Vader and Palpatine) leads you to believe that their separation from their mother happened later than it was depicted in ROTS - probably before or around the time that they were 2 to 3 years old.  I mean really - how can Leia have memories from when she was a fetus and from when she was just seconds old?  It also leads you to believe that, per the ROTJ assumption, Anakin/Vader did NOT cause their mother's death - that their mother (Padme?!  Please... ) went off the grid to hide from Anakin/Vader and died of something besides being pushed/choked by Anakin.
 
Unless Leia went fully sentient in the womb like Alia did in Dune (after Jessica took The Water of Life to become the Arrakeen Bene Gesserit Mother) and I HIGHLY doubt that that was Lucas's intent to mix worlds like that.

Probably not, but that would be pretty awesome. 

[DebraKadabra]

Leia's a Bene Gesserit witch!!!

DTF, I have a proposition to make:

I think we, as a forum, should officially retcon the Prequel Trilogy. All in favor, say aye.

(Aye)

And yes, I will be counting your votes.

[DebraKadabra]

AYE.

[Jaffa]

Aye.

I don't actually have a problem with the prequel trilogy (I enjoyed them), but I would like to see what the DTF would come up with anyway.  Especially if it involves Dune crossovers and Leia being sentient in the womb.

May I also suggest a miniature lightsaber duel between the twins inside Padme?

What is retcon? Rewrite? I'm all for it.

[DebraKadabra]

Nah.  Leia turns cannibal and eats Luke in the womb.

I understood that

Awesome idea, but I'm pretty sure that would also be retconning the original trilogy, too.  I think A New Hope would go quite a lot differently if Luke was eaten before birth.   

[DebraKadabra]

Yeah, that's a really good point.  
 
Mini-lightsaber womb duel it could be...

[Orbert]

Unless Leia went fully sentient in the womb like Alia did in Dune (after Jessica took The Water of Life to become the Arrakeen Bene Gesserit Mother) and I HIGHLY doubt that that was Lucas's intent to mix worlds like that.

Don't forget, one of the things Greedo mentioned was that Han dumped a load of spice when he was about to be boarded (or something very much like that, but it was definitely spice).

AHA - something I missed!  Great catch, dude!

[WindMaster]

Aye!

I mean really - how can Leia have memories from when she was a fetus and from when she was just seconds old?  It also leads you to believe that, per the ROTJ assumption, Anakin/Vader did NOT cause their mother's death - that their mother (Padme?!  Please... ) went off the grid to hide from Anakin/Vader and died of something besides being pushed/choked by Anakin.

While I agree with you, her statements can be easily written off as mistaken memories.  They sense each other as siblings and memories have contructed themselves to explain what they were sensing.  Both of them might be assuming Leia's adoptive mother is their real mother, too.

[jingle.boy]

Or we could just inject a dose of reality and forgive Lucas that he couldn't cleanly connect all the dots between OT and prequels?

I'm assuming we're talking about the line "somehow I've always known."  In that case I always took it for Leia's implied force sensitivity, just like how she knows Luke got off the Death Star in time.  The timeframe of when they were separated doesn't matter whether they remember each other or not.

[GuineaPig]

Out of all the continuity errors between the original trilogy and the prequels, that's a pretty insignificant one.

[yorost]

I wasn't trying to be critical of him, I was trying to point out it's just not that serious a problem since they weren't talking about rock solid facts.  Yeah, it doesn't fit, but they don't really know what happened like we do.

[Implode]

Well it was never just Lucas's fault. Sure he wrote it, but no one dared to challenge him or make any changes. Movie's are a group effort, and everyone contributed to their failures, even if just by doing nothing.

Nope.

TATOOINE WAS ARAKIS

[Cedar redaC]

Where were all of the sandworms?

[JayOctavarium]

Is it wrong that I wanna see Orlando Bloom play a Jedi?


-random-

[Adami]

-random-

Hm.......no. I'm okay with it.

[Jaq]

Where were all of the sandworms?

Boba Fett fell into one, didn't he?

The bigger question is how did a sandworm get onto an asteroid for the Millennium Falcon to mistake for a cave?

[JayOctavarium]

Hm.......no. I'm okay with it.

So it's settled then. Orlando Bloom shall star in the new series. Let's start writing our letters to Disney / Lucasfilm....

[bosk1]

Where were all of the sandworms?

They used 'em all up at the Tattooine Tequila plant that supplied the Mos Eisley cantina.

You, sir, are a brilliant and wise human being, and I am proud to know you.  Aye!
