Since even with the Emperor and Vader and everyone on the Death Star dead there would still be a ton of imperial officials and loyal storm troopers who would be hanging on to power, and maybe trying to grab more. 1 Link to comment

Plus all of the Imperials stationed on the various planets apparently packed up and left the instant they heard the news instead of trying to seize power or anything like that.

And this was before I even heard of Spaceballs. So it went over your helmet? 3 Link to comment
Fool to cry September 19 Share September 19 (edited) So to I remembered this quote from TESB director Irvin Kirshner from a 1990 magazine interview: "But that story point was kept a secret. We didn’t even have that in the script. Nobody knew that, not even the actors. I had a page that I took when I was in California that was a substitute page for the scene when Luke is screaming at Vader and hanging on to that pole. Those words were put away in my book and when it came time to shoot, I explained it to Mark. But when he was saying, “No, no, I don’t believe it!” Darth Vader was saying totally different things than what you hear in the film. He wasn’t saying, “I am your father! We’ll rule the galaxy together! He was saying, “You’re going to do what I say!” (Laughter) So he had totally different lines. Then, when we went to put it together, we put the real words in. But Mark knew because I told him ahead of time. I told him he was Vader’s son and he thought it was great. And he acted it magnificently! He was hanging there by a nylon cord over 40 feet of nothing with wind blowing at him. I had fans and smoke aimed right at him. It was really quite dangerous — I worried about it. And I think he was worried about it, too, and that’s what made it so effective. When I went to the Command Performance in England of The Empire Strikes Back, in back of me was sitting David Prowse who was the body of Darth Vader. When the scene came on where Vader says, “I am your father,” David hit me on the head! (Laughter) He leaned over and said, “Why didn’t you tell me! I would’ve acted it differently!” (Laughter) David wasn’t the voice of Darth Vader but he sure walked right! I tell you: body language is so important." I rewatched that scene and I noticed Vader moves his head down when he says "I". On the set Prowse said the fake line "No, Obi-Wan killed your father." Try saying it and your head goes down on "Wan". If he had really said "I" his head would have gone back! Edited September 19 by Fool to cry 2 Link to comment

andromeda331 October 5 Share October 5 5 hours ago, tv echo said: Is Disney Bad at Star Wars? An Analysis By James Hibberd October 3, 2024 https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/star-wars-disney-analysis-ratings-box-office-1236011620/ It makes some good points and some bad ones. I don't think Disney ever really learns from it's mistakes. The sequels were rushed and it's clear they didn't really know what kind of story they wanted to tell. About the original big three? About the Skywalker family? The Jedi Order? Passing the Torch from Luke, Han and Leia to a new group? It was just a grab for money and the story didn't matter. Yes, Lucas changed things and ideas from A New Hope to Empire Stikes Back and Return of the Jedi. But those changes worked for the most part. Vader turning out to be Luke's father is still one of if the best twist ever and added so much more to the story. The change from the sequel trilogy from movie to movie didn't and they didn't make sense either. They have done some good TV series so many people loved the Mandelorian. But they messed it up season three and turn season four into a moie. Why? Andor was really good but they decide to make it only two seasons. Why would you do that when fans love the shows? They originally planned for Obi Wan to be a movie. That would have been a damn good movie. Instead they switched to a six episode show which means stretching out a story that really didn't need to be. And now all they do is announce and cancel movies and TV shows. 1 1 Link to comment
DoctorAtomic October 5 Share October 5 I thought the Obi Wan series was good and should remain a one off. I think a movie would have been too rushed to have an offworld adventure *and* . If they want to do a movie *now*, I think it would work. While I understand the issues with Acolyte, I thought it was good enough to warrant a second season. I know it cost a lot, but I still don't quite get that a streaming service really needs to be strictly beholden to ratings. 2 Link to comment

tv echo November 1 Share November 1 (edited) STAR WARS: George Lucas Had A Jaw-Dropping Twist Planned For Obi-Wan And Qui-Gon In THE PHANTOM MENACE Josh Wilding Nov 1, 2024 https://sffgazette.com/sci_fi/star-wars/star-wars-george-lucas-had-a-jaw-dropping-twist-planned-for-obi-wan-and-qui-gon-in-the-phantom-menace-a8468#gs.hians9 Quote Talking to StarWars.com about the 1999 movie, Star Wars concept and storyboard artist Iain McCaig revealed that Lucas once had a jaw-dropping twist in mind for Episode I. "For a time, the older Jedi was named Obi-Wan and the younger Jedi was named Qui-Gon," McCaig explained. "It was very poignant that at the end, as Obi-Wan dies and Qui-Gon defeats Darth Maul and stays with his Master as he passes away, he not only takes on his Master’s quest, but he takes on his name. Qui-Gon becomes Obi-Wan." "That’s why when you see Alec Guinness in ‘A New Hope,’ he puts his hood down and goes, ‘Obi-Wan? Now that’s a name I’ve not heard…'" the artist continued. "Because he’s not Obi-Wan, he’s Qui-Gon. And right at the end, George changed it." Edited November 1 by tv echo Link to comment

tv echo November 10 Share November 10 Lucasfilm, 20th Century Studios, and Marvel Studios Share Trailers, Sneak Peeks, and More at D23 Brazil — A Disney Experience November 9, 2024 https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/d23-brazil-day-two/ Quote Lucasfilm Star Jude Law greeted fans in a pre-recorded message before introducing a special look at Skeleton Crew, a brand-new Star Wars series launching Tuesday, December 3, with the first two episodes on Disney+. Representing Season 2 of the critically acclaimed, Emmy® Award-nominated series Andor, droid B2 EMO rolled on stage to meet the D23 Brazil fans, who went wild. The Disney+ launch date — April 22, 2025 — was revealed, and the crowd got a special look at the series. The acclaimed thriller returns for its long-awaited conclusion. The 12 episodes of Season 2 carry the story of Cassian Andor and the emerging rebel alliance over the climactic four years that lead to the discovery of The Death Star and the events of Rogue One. Season 1 followed Cassian’s reluctant journey from cynical nobody to revolutionary volunteer. Andor Season 2 will see him transform from soldier to leader to hero on the way to his epic destiny. From the very first scene, Cassian’s story has activated an ever-widening ensemble of allies and enemies. Season 2 will see these relationships intensify as the horizon of galactic war draws near. Everyone will be tested and, as the stakes rise, the betrayals, sacrifices, and conflicting agendas will become profound. In a pre-recorded video, director and Disney Legend Jon Favreau and producer Dave Filoni introduced the audience to a special sneak peek of Lucasfilm’s The Mandalorian and Grogu, the upcoming Star Wars feature film that will open in theaters on May 22, 2026. Starring Pedro Pascal and Sigourney Weaver, directed by Favreau and produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Favreau, Filoni, and Ian Bryce, this exciting new adventure in the Mandalorian and Grogu’s journey is currently in production. 1 Link to comment
