It much more interesting the way RJ interpreted it. Lucas boiled it down to a fucking blood test.

Star Wars |OT| New Canon, New Forum [NO IX SPOILERS]
- Thread starter sphagnum
- Start date

Yup. Really dismantles the power level wankery introduced in the PT.
I mentioned this in the Jedi Fallen Order thread on Gaming side, but Celebration is gonna be stacked.
Basically assured to appear:
* Episode IX
* The Mandalorian
* Clone Wars S7
* The Phantom Menace 20th Anniversary festivities
* Galaxy's Edge
Could appear:
* Details on other Disney+ shows like the Cassian one.
* New movie announcements
* Jedi Fallen Order
And there's almost guaranteed to be new publishing announcements. It's gonna be a crazy couple days.

What an insane year. Get to hyping me, LFL. You can save some of it for Celebration.
oh yeah. celebration gonna be nuts
cant wait
cant wait
forgot about this one. dayum
Since Disney is apparently dropping more Disney+ details on the same day as Celebration, I'm hoping that we'll also get a release date for The Mandalorian too.
Doubt there will be any new movie announcements though. Maybe an appearance by Rian and/or Benioff and Weiss, in some capacity, to talk briefly about the movies they're writing. But I think all of the movie focus will be on IX and it being the end of the Skywalker era. Given that there'll be no Star Wars movie next year they don't really need to talk up any new movies anyway.

Had they confirmed that The Mandalorian was coming in 2019? I mean, it was assumed since you obviously want to launch Disney+ with the show you're already deep into production.
It's at least good to know that it'll release in 2019. This fall is gonna be stacked as hell for Star Wars.

We're at least getting Fallen Order, I mean, it could get canceled but with it most likely coming out in 9 or so months, it's probably too late for it to get the axe.
That could possibly be the last Star Wars game we see for a while, though.
Not sure if The Mandalorian itself has been explicitly confirmed as coming in 2019, but given that it's a launch series for Disney+ which has been confirmed for this year, think it's safe to assume.
What I mean is that Disney confirmed that it's out in 2019 yesterday but I couldn't remember if that was something they had already confirmed or if we had just assumed it was 2019 since it made since to release it with Disney+.
This whole scene is fantastic.
I also love when they're back inside the cave and Luke namedrops Darth Sidious, I liked that Rian wasn't afraid to mention the prequels there with how he wiped out the Jedi.
I also liked how TFA has mentions of the PT. This is the way it should be done. If there is ever a decision to remake the PT in the future, they can still hit on these major story elements because conceptually, there is a lot of potential there and it's possible to turn things around.
No way, don't remake the PT. I enjoy them. ROTS is my favourite SW movie.
I'm saying they may decide to remake them far, far down the line, one day (if it's possible in accordance to whatever was a part of the deal to sell SW). I don't think they should bother doing it now or soon.
I think if we ever get a remake of anything (some decades from now) it will start with Ep.IV.
The most popular SW character is Darth Vader, not Anakin Skywalker.
They're not going to simply remake the OT because people like Vader the most lol.
There is actual incentive to remake the PT eventually, because they were such widely panned movies with immense potential. JJ and Kasdan in many ways made EP7 as a response to the backlash of EP1-3, even if they didn't consciously plan them this way. They wanted to get that SW magic back and simplified things from the political jargon that was the backbone of TPM.
They'll probably remake the OT eventually, but starting with EP1-3 makes the most sense because they are the movies that have the most remake potential.
I don't think we're ever getting any remakes, it would screw up the canon too much. Not unless they hit the reset button on that again, which would be a terrible idea.
I mean, who knows how canon will be viewed a decade and longer from now. But they've got people dedicated to canon so I'm sure they'd find a way to do it.
The only way I see it happening is if it's an entirely new canon or alternate universe, like JJ Trek. A clean break. Not like when Disney took over and kept some things canon.
And I only see that happen if the franchise suffers serious long term declines in popularity.
Or of course they could remake them and explicitly say they aren't canon but that would be crazy.
Yeah, there's a few different ways it could be done. And the movies made bank so there is financial incentive in that regard too.
But oh my god the fanbase would effectively end if it ever happened
My point is mostly that redoing the PT would be an operation probably aimed at the mass market. But the main problem of the PT for the mass market it was that it was a trio of movie that lacked what the mass market loved in SW - Vader, the Empire, David vs Goliath.
For the fandom, the PT was one of the best things to happen because while the movies were middling at best, they expanded the universe of SW lore immensely. In many ways, the PT was the golden age of the EU.
So the hardcore fans don't really need the PT remade, and the casual fans probably wouldn't care, in my opinion. And boy, I would really prefer to be wrong here, because I'd love to see movies that tell a better version of Anakin's tale.
General audiences enjoyed the PT (even if on a basic, shallow level). I believe all three got A- Cinemascores. They made insane profits, comparable to both the OT and ST, based on their budgets.
I don't think there would be much of an issue in that regard, if SW is still insanely popular a decade+ from now.
It's never been a matter of "need". Disney didn't "need" to buy SW, EP7 didn't "need" to be made.
So if it's deemed profitable, I see no reason why the PT wouldn't eventually be remade. Even though the PT wasn't as well received as the OT all around.
I have no desire for remakes of any of the movies, even if some could be better. Those stories are done. Hopefully Rian's trilogy and the Benioff and Weiss series are the beginning of something new.
Wiping out George's contributions to Star Wars would be a mistake even if I don't agree with all the choices he made.

How does Luke know about Darth Sidious. Did he watch the prequels in the intervening years? I guess he did have like 30 years to get up to speed on galactic history...
I'm assuming the Darth Sidious title and history was something Luke discovered in the time he spent becoming a Jedi Master after ROTJ. It's possible that he could have discussed this stuff with force ghost Obi and Yoda?
Trailer, if there even is one, must go in hard on this truly being the end of the Skywalkers.
Bet we get an sizzle reel at celebration for IX and a teaser in feb.
Remember the R1 sizzle?
Remember the R1 sizzle?
roll the sizzle!
Okay google, play thunderstorm sounds
Hey Alexa, play Mazzy Star's Look On Down From The Bridge

You're doing this, JJ.
Star Wars Episode IX: Rey Falls Into a Crevice and Her Lightsaber Hand is Pinned by a Rock and She Contemplates the Meaning of Her Life for Four Days as She Slowly Succumbs to the Elements.
Yeah, definitely feels like a tearjerker that one.
Yeah, definitely feels like a tearjerker that one.
And she definitely loses her hand in this movie.
RJ is ghostwriting.
Rey is so powerful Kylo slices her and she actually grows another hand.
Thought you had that one figured out didn't you
But I'll do you one better.
It's actually a dream. She's still stuck on Jakku.
I mean, then John Wick shows up, the ultimate force of balance between good and evil. Kylo would be fucked.
Rey loses her right hand and Kylo says "haha I win" and then Rey uses her left hand "bitch I'm ambidextrous" and kills him. What a twist.
That's EPX.. Into the Alternate JJ-Verse.
She would be.
I hope this happens but it'll be weird to address the whole Rose kiss that I wish just didn't happen at all
