This is a psa for the buckets working overtime to conceal the scathing looks that would be thrown in their absence.

To me, the worst tragedy of Star Wars is that the Jedi would have won if they weren't betrayed. They discovered who was the Sith. Mace defeated him! The Jedi would have won the war that was set up to destroy them and they lost, not because of some incompetence or weakness or whatever, but because they were betrayed by one of their own.

Star Wars really missed out on some golden opportunities by not having Luke--the moisture farmer who never spent a day of his life outside of the driest desert you ever saw-- react to other planets' water.
Luke is on Hoth for a full week before he realizes what snow is. "This is WATER?!" "...yeah." "WE'RE RICH!"
or Yoda senses Luke is on Dagobah and goes looking for him, only to find him thrashing around waist deep in the swamp, frantically filling every container he can find with the nastiest dark brown water imaginable and shoving it into his ship.
Every planet they go to, if Han and Leia turn their back on Luke for a SECOND, he'll just be gone and they'll have to go trudging off to find the nearest pond and without fail there will be Luke, sitting in water up to his neck.
The end of rotj is just luke going back to tatooine with like, a ship load of water a crashing the local economy in an hour
there's a secret good sequel series that lives only in brain where finn and rey are force-sensitive foils to each other and they still spend movie #2 entirely apart but it's because they're exploring parallel and at time opposite relationships with the force and their place in the universe
and in my secret good version. okay hear me out. the han-leia kid is a hot lady. okay. are we following. and she DOES abandon luke's new jedi, not by falling and murdering people, but by stealing the millennium falcon and running off to escape responsibility and swaggers around with incredible han solo "loser pretending to be cool" energy. and then. she accidentally picks up two force sensitive teens on jakku and she's like. are you KIDDING me
listen my OC would be so good. she's introduced in like a space bar and you're just like "oh okay, the han solo character is a lady in this movie, okay"
but THEN some sort of shit hits the fan and you get that sexy, sexy lightsaber reveal. DO YOU SEE MY VISION
The four penguins from Madagascar are, somehow, isekaied in the middle of the clone wars
Palpatine is dead within the hour
Please for the love of God, read the notes on this post
If Obi-Wan had actually stayed on Mandalore with Satine after the Civil War and left the Jedi Order, it would've made The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones peak comedy.
Like, Qui-Gon would still be sent to Naboo and end up on Tatooine, he'd still meet Anakin and take him back to the Temple. But, in this AU, he survives the battle on Theed and takes Anakin as his padawan. And the entire Order would be making jokes:
"Congrats on the new padawan! Hope he sticks around longer than the last one!" "We'll keep this one off the bodyguard missions, eh Qui-Gon?"
So one day little Anakin’s like "hey master, what happened to your last padawan?" And Qui-Gon's like "oh he ran off with a girl, yeah he's royalty in the Outer Rim now".
And it's all fine and dandy until Anakin’s nineteen and they get assigned to protect Padmé, and Qui-Gon takes one look at this kid's face and thinks "You've got to be fucking kidding me, this shit again??"
Something I’m disappointed we never got in tcw was an episode where, in the style of all of the Jedi/clone buddy cop episodes we got- fox had to protect palpatine from an “assassination attempt” or smth- cut to palpatine conspiring with dooku- and it’s just more and more ridiculous evil shenanigans that palpatine has to keep sneaking off to do under fox’s nose and fox being like “ please just let me do my job gdi”
@whiskygoldwings, it is a sin against humanity to hide these additions in the tags, you know
speaking of i was re-watching the phantom menace last night and is there a possibility that Qui-gon just has a gambling problem
looking at the notes on that power of love post i think some ppl are conflating a couple of different tropes together
like the ending of Return of the Jedi is a 'power of love' story in a very different way to Harry Potter u know. I'd also read it more as a 'power of forgiveness' narrative but maybe that's just me!
anyways if you'll excuse me while i analyse the ending of Return of the Jedi for a second:
this has nothing to do w the other post i just felt like talking about star wars.
Diversity win! The new Star Wars tv show’s main character has two dead moms!
The opening fight sequence of the acolyte really just emphasizes how eerie it would be to fight a force user
He’s a little confused but he’s got the right spirit…

it would have been really funny if palpatine enacted order 66 only to be immediately killed by one of his own clone guards who doesn’t really understand the difference between the sith and jedi and just sees palpatine with a lightsaber and goes “oh a jedi!” And point blank shoots him without hesitation
while testing the coruscant guard's chips, your pal friendpatine tests out order 66 and fox just. fuckin shoots him. later, when they figure out how to disable the chips, it turns out that fox:
a) has never met an actual jedi b) doesn't actually know what a sith is,
and so he just went "oh the chancellor must be a jedi. he does weird magic bullshit. and he seems as shitty as every other natborn." and so when the chip activated he just went "ugh, finally, i can kill this assshole"
