The fact that this is literally a Luke centered fan fiction, yet Luke IS NOT a Mary Sue, is freaking hilarious, and a massive middle finger to the Sequels.
He's never been a mary sue
Luke was a Mary Sue. Like his father before him. Ya'll act like we didn't all see the movies.
@@Dez-E Explain what made him a Mary Sue.
@@Dez-E explain how. I'll wait
@@pnut3844able I know that. I’m just saying, this is literally FAN FICTION of Luke yet he’s not overpowered nor flawless
When Anakin said to Luke "What does your heart tell you" I legit teared up... That's brilliant dialogue. Those are the same words Shmi said to Anakin to comfort him before leaving tatooine. I literally can't believe I teared up in an Ai video 😅
Fuck I didn't even make the Shmi connection! TBH I teared up at Anakin finally having the ability (albeit from the afterlife) to be a caring, loving father.
The writing in this was masterful.
Its nice but fan fiction writers re using dialogue is tired and wouldn't feel right in a feature production.
It's like poetry, it rhymes
That’s what Aragorn says to Gandalf in edoras in ROTK
This story is well written and doesn't really abandons Legends. Ben is still a Jedi and Luke is still has the courage and confidence from Legends. And Rey appearing as a Sith fits well.
@@Dash-mp1wxsame
its still utter garbage. To make it good you need to jettison all characters like Kylo Ren etc. This is just bad fan wank.
@@purefoldnz3070L take
@@ballparkjebusite the only L take is bad fan wank including Rey.
How interesting that us novice fans, with no writing experience, can write a better story than an army of the woke mafia and the dawg shit sequels they created...
This actually makes me mad. This is one possible fan alternative. Written by one fan. ONE. And it is SO MUCH better than the sequels that an entire team of "professional" writers gave us. What an absolute embarrassment Disney is. The worst part is that something like this, something that the universe of Lucas truly deserved, will never happen...because our beloved trio is no more and the two that remain are just too old.
hollywood scripts go through tons of "refinement" as they are developed and touched by too many hands, and sometimes the end results become something entirely different from the original vision in the process. it becomes too optimized and too sanitized for sake of "average viewers". we aren't allowed to have "boring parts" anymore in films, even if they are important for a well paced cohesive story.
That is why reductive ‘AI’ is putting all those writers out if work; because it can, because they are garbage!!
@SetZor666 The issue is that Disney is interested in producing profit, not art. Profit follows formula, art follows vision. Now they are....paying the price for their lack of vision.
@@JefferyCheney i think that's letting them off the hook too easily. they KNOW the complaints people are making about their films, but they still make the same mistakes with EVERY NEW PRODUCTION. they are obviously not interested in making money at this point. they are being forced to do this by someone or something, and whatever the controllers intentions are, profit isn't the motive.
@SetZor666 I think the stakeholders are in it for money. ESG score etc was pitched as a way to increase this via positive public image. Unfortunately, this led them to hire a ton of activists and/or outright incompetent bafoons....which in turn leads to what you describe. An organization that eats itself because box office failure is because racism, not because lack of interest or bad reviews.
Dude his storylines made me 100000x madder about what Disney has done to Star Wars. I couldn’t get enough of this. These redux’s are amazing.
What has Disney done to Star Wars? Compared to what (you think) the story of Star Wars was intended to be, what has it become?
The reason Disney is making so crappy stories is because of you actually.
What I mean with this is that all I see in the comment sections (here and on the original channel) is dumb praise. "Oh this is so brilliant, the best Star Wars story I ever heard, blah blah blah." You know what? Jarjar Abrams and Rian Johnson received dumb praise, too, just from other people. But it was just as dumb.
I'm not saying this story is crap, but it's not brilliant either. It's a fanfic, but it's only decent and would need still a lot of work. Dumb praise however creates artists that think they're infallible. That's what I'm criticizing here. Be a bit more real and don't dispense your praise as if it were worth nothing.
@@nightmareTomek What do you think of the story and themes of the original and prequel trilogies? On a fundamental level, does the sequel trilogy differ?
@@mattrismatt Eeeerm. Well, how extensive would you like your answer...?
The prequels and sequels have a different theme and vibe, but fundamentally suffer from the same issues, they haven't been thought through, just slapped together. That's what I see people do who lack creativity. They like something and want to create something on their own and call themselves artists. But what they do is recreating the memory of the cool thing they saw, they essentially copy the original without noticing what they did.
The prequels and sequels don't really have a story to tell, like the originals. Just try to summarize the plot, for example. In the originals it's a hero's journey, he saves a princess, he trains in galactic powers, he destroys a superweapon, but then gets betrayed by someone working for the bad guys, and then in a big battle he destroys another superweapon with the rest of the bad guys. Right?
How would you describe the prequels? A hero is picked up somewhere and participates in a war. And then he... hm, he is in love...? And it's a like a villains journey, he turns evil, why though? Is he manipulated to do so? To save his princess, which he then chokes. And then... he destroys the good guys? I run into a problem there, can you do a better summary? Or try the sequels! If you can't summarize the films well, then that usually means there is no story to tell, it is just stuff happening that's supposed to look cool, but deep down we don't know why it's happening. It's just slapped together.
The originals' story isn't something grandiose, but it's well executed and is coherent. Despite being cheesy as fk sometimes, it makes sense! And there's emotional weight, the story has atmosphere where you feel what the protagonists feel. Like when you see Vader you gonna think "oh crap, is Luke gonna survive this?", and we know the impact this would have with either side winning. While when you see Darth Maul (appearing out of nowhere, aka stuff's just happening) you gonna think "oh, we have a cool battle at our hands!". Would the film even have ended differently, if Maul had won? In the clone wars he's resurrected anyway, and why? Because someone thought he's cool. Lot's and lot's of tiny problems everywhere.
George Lucas isn't a good writer, his ideas were nice, but he needs someone to polish those. If I were to do that, the first thing I'd ask him would be what it is he actually wants to tell. Hopefully his answer wouldn't be "about this cool battle on the cool planet with these cool weapons". That'd be something I'd expect Jarjar Abrams to say....
@@mattrismatt What an astonishingly dumb answer you gave! xD I don't wanna even read it all, it's just so stupid! (And too long for how stuuuuuuuuupid it is)
For example, what's this stupid question:
"Having been trained by those who had utterly failed a generation prior, why should we expect Luke Skywalker to succeed in the very same ways of the Force/Jedi?"
Whaaaaat?? xD Because the previous generation fought a war and lost, we shouldn't expect the next generation to have a chance? I don't even know where to begin. The fk is this some dumb reasoning!
Or..
"you can't prove the prequels and sequels weren't "thought through, just slapped together""
Well, duh! You can't prove Game of Thrones is an amazing book series either! Except by statistics, essentially collecting opinions, since stories are for people and most people simply dislike the prequels (disliked them even more before the sequels introtuced them to a new low), but not the OT. I told you why, and you are asking for a proof, goddamn that is some VERY stupid request. You can like the prequels if you want, but don't be so stupid to ask people for proofs when their opinion doesn't align with yours. You're just being a pain to talk to, then.
Or...
"I presume you wanted to 'recreate the memory of the cool thing you saw' when you were younger "
Jumping to assumptions about me personally as a mean to attack me. It's very clear you didn't come here to talk about story interpretation, but you came here to be an a-hole and to make personal attacks (which are of course as wrong as they could be). Are you woke maybe? I just hope you're not a writer, because you fall into the category of people lacking creativity, maybe that's even why you responded so aggressively?
Or...
"You say Luke completed 'the hero's journey'?"
You are putting words into my mouth. It's generally accepted that the OT is a hero's journey, however I never said Luke completed it. Are you listening with your butt hole?
And the rest of your comment I didn't read because I expect it to be extraordinarily moronic trash as well. This is not a conversation I wanna waste my time on, I'd have a way smarter conversation just talking to a wall. If you wanna write absolutely idiotic sh_t, write it to someone else. Another dumb word and I put you straight onto ignore.
Imagine Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker talking to Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker's force ghost? Disney took that away from us.😡
True story
I still think the "young Anakin" force ghost thing is dumb, but otherwise, I agree.
Also took away the possibility of ever seeing Luke, Leia, and Han interacting harmoniously and accomplishing a goal together.
How is this single fanfiction better than the entire Disney sequel trilogy?! This is incredible
Because, unfortunately, the sequels are poorly written…
But still this is awesome!
Because the fans love the source material and don't want the betray the character arcs of the first trilogy. This noble sacrifice would even have satisfied Harrison Ford's wish for Han to die. But no, they all have to be lowered to elevate a Mary-Sue.
Because the entire disney trilogy was laughably bad horse shit. Anyone could write a better story. People shouldn't forgive disney for making this shit. It's like they did it on purpose. As a writer, I don't see how it's possible for trained professionals to write that poorly, if their intention is to make a good movie.
This guy made one for the last Jedi too to continue the story and it’s sick
Look at the latest round of leaks from inside Lucasfilm from Cameron Pashaw and Overlord DVD. It’s been leaked as to why.
Woah, now I’m pissed all over again. This story is incredible. can you imagine force ghost Hayden, bad Rey etc. the sequels we got were absolutely disgraceful not only too the fans but to the actors that were cast aside and made to look like bumbling idiots. Disney… do better
Adam Driver did alright…at least, as good a job as he could have with his script. A shame really…he really is a good actor, and this ruined his chances of getting a good role in any films
This is how I felt while watching it. I see the plot holes and lack of character development in real time. I enjoy almost no movies or shows these days. They're all riddled with plot holes, terrible dialogue and character actions that don't fit their personalities and motivations. It's like all the mainstream writers forgot how to create challenging situations for their heroes, so they just make the heroes do really stupid stuff to drive the plot.
If Rey really is of Palpatine's lineage then her being trained as a Sith fits so much better.
i thought there was a rumor that JJ Abrams had left her past as a mystery so that there could be some character changing reveal for her, that she had been trained as a sith but was taken and memory erased or something. but nah, she's got famous bad guys blood and that means she is better than trained from birth jedis in combat and the force. rian johnson went against all that because in real life women are just naturally good at shit and better than any man. so rey's really just a normal kid from nobody parents and the force just happens to be female.
@@SetZor666 Rian is the one that decided Rey had no ancestry. JJ was always hinting at something greater. Palpatine existing after Vader turned good is insulting to the story.
Having her be a Sith that turns and joins the Jedi is also a good way of telling a "your heritage doesn't define you" story as well.
Have her be a secret
@@SetZor666
Mystery Box-style storytelling is BS. And always will be.
I've seen this and another, I think the last jedi concept. After watching these two videos, this is now established canon for me as I've pretty much forgotten the sequel trilogy. It feels so much better to imagine the characters we love with the character development and ending they deserve. I can get behind this rey, Finn, po, Luke, pretty much everyone was given proper treatment to their characters and roles. Will always be grateful to this individual for what they created. Kylo is way better in this story. Rey has depth. Just awesome. Still holding onto hope that someone outside of Disney (fan film maybe) can show an accurate portrayal of the yuuzhan vong going up against the NJO. It could be epic and have elements of a horror film, as they are frightening and way more of a threat to the jedi
I think to do a proper Yuuzhan Vong live action adaptation, it would need an incredibly high budget, dedicated&talented team members across the board from the top to bottom, either a full Saga of 6 films at the very minimum, or several seasons if it’s TV show length, &a deep love&appreciation for the entire Star Wars legacy; Legends most of all of course, along with being able to retcon current cannon or branch off into an alternative timeline. I have always wanted to see the NJO/Yuuzhan Vong as a live action adaptation, but I fear that we won’t get that. If we do, it won’t do justice to it at all…
Agree.
This is my canon moving forward.
Yep - this is canon
It’s such a good story! He already made the next episode (aka episode 8) and it’s even better
Where can I watch it?
@@JinKobayashiHearMe RUclipsrs channel is called PRISM
@@JinKobayashiHearMeruclips.net/video/xWaAQVU2IwQ/видео.html
It truly is impeccable.
Doesnt Kylo beat the crap out of Grandmaster Luke? 😅 that sounds dumb to me
This is the type of story that someone can tell when they don't start with a mandate of sidelining Luke, Leia and Han and the storyteller obviously cares a great deal for continuing the already existing story rather than winning political points.
Imagine if anyone writing the Disney movies actually liked Star Wars.
.... or any of the other IPs they've purchased - and then immediately destroyed.
its depressing how much better this is than what we actually got
It's literally cringe and copy what episode 7 created with new character make new character or stfu forever
It's not much better. It's just a little better. You people are losing your minds over it.
"You people are losing your minds over it."
That's what people do when something is good.
@@aionarkhe5260 Or they lose their minds over stuff that's still bad but they think it proves their point.
@@nightmareTomek 🤣 What "point" is anyone trying to prove, exactly?
I imagine in an alternate universe the sequel trilogy is an absolute triumph and Disney is rolling in cash in perpetuity because of the extremely happy fanbase. I wish I could be excited about Star Wars again. It's all so hopeless.
Disney bought it with destruction in mind. Money was never the goal. I know this flies in the face of the "greedy Capitalist" programming we all have.
They could also have made so much money!
This is bittersweet. I’m blown we didn’t get something that truly pays homage to GLSW. I want to go back and love the sequels but I can’t. As Anakin once said, I want more. I want more with these characters, properly executed.
Now that was: THE FORCE AWAKENS
Dude was paid zero dollar for that EPIC story. “Make it make sense!” 🤬
Evil in plain sight, Disney corruption.
These ai generated images are sick, they really enhance the story telling
some of them frighten me.
Could be better - but it's a first! I guess we'll see more fan fiction of this kind now when people start to master AI generative drawing.
Even the narrator voice is AI generated!
This is just so damned good! THIS is the sequel trilogy we needed, it is what the fans deserved. So many moments where we see Luke, Leia and Han together in one episode. And the new characters are more rounded and developed!
Theory I would love for you to literally write your own fan made sequel trilogy. I feel you are the only one capable and dedicated enough to fill the hole in Star Wars fan’s hearts that Disney left. I can’t imagine how amazing it would be.
I personally think that no one can write the perfect sequel trilogy, and Theory would have stuff in his that I may disagree with.. but if it is consistent and follows what came before and respects the lore, I'd be the biggest fan, no matter who wrote it
Agreed it would be amazing
@@Scirollo I agree, i believe that for it to be the perfect sequel trilogy, it would have to respect and follow what has came before it and not abandon it like the current sequels have. George would have to approve of it imo.
Let's be honest, we'd probably balk at Lucas' original script for the sequels. But they'd most assuredly be better than Disney, because George cares.
It's amazing what stories a real fan can come up with as opposed to the "professionals" who just want to push an agenda.
Your not alone...
Dude this is so good, starting the movie with the new Jedi would have given us a fresh perspective, and then Ben burning it down would be mirroring order 66. “It’s like poetry, it rhymes.”
Also, the story beats are very similar to Episode 1:
Jedi temple, Sith return, mentor dies….
I hate the poetry it rhymes concept. They should not rhyme but do something new otherwise its just repetitive.
@@positivevibesrfc I understand! I love when things “rhyme” with other story beats, but i by no means want a carbon copy of a previous movie
(I.E. The Force Awakens and A New Hope) I think it is very possible to honor the previous films while still making a fresh, new, and creative movie. There is a fine line between copying and honoring in my head
@@nerdvisions4625 The honouring should come form continuity of world building and lore and building on that. The problem we have is with Disney they just recycle ideas. They had loads of EU stories to draw from and they just closed themselves off to it. That was dumb. They push high republic when the hard-core fans want Old Republic. They don't have a clue.
Man let me tell you all, all three of the videos of this series are some of the best story telling of any Star Wars since George Lucas 70s-80s Star Wars films. It is that good.
Geez, this is what we deserved from Disney. I teared up more than once. It’s gripping, it tells the story of the characters that we love, and didn’t stray too far from what we know. Incredible stuff man
The series is amazing! Best fan fiction production I’ve seen in awhile.
Prism did a fantastic job with his rewriting of ep 7&8. Craziest part was it only took him a couple of weeks to write the final scripts. Disneys failure is now fully complete. This will bring on many fan fiction that will be far better then what they gave us. Do your story swt I can only imagine it will be far better than what we got
AND now people figured out how to move from Expanded Universe books to storytelling with visuals. It will only get better! Watch Disney try to plug this with IP threats and lawsuits
Thanks for taking time to check it out man. Really enjoy your content. Much Love :)
I watched this about a month ago and was stunned by how good it was.
I liked that he didn’t create his own canon but reworked what they tried to tell. It’s levels better then the sequels we got. Amazing what good writing and care for characters do.
Ps. It’s a great idea theory to tell ff with ai art giving visuals to the story.
Better than the sequels we got. Yes, I'd love to hear your fan fic with AI art. 🤣I see Po tweeking but in my mind I hear Shaggy panicking.
i just discovered this gem. Han's exchange with Ben during his final moments actually brought me to tears)): "No just you son... Just you..." Disney get your shit together, this is Star Wars.
People always made fun of fanfiction, but the truth is that there are a lot of masterpieces out there and those are most definitely worth reading. It baffles me that noone ever uses them as inspiration. That said, the biggest problem with fanfiction is that quite a lot of them are unfinished...
Why couldn’t we have gotten something more like this? Even with Poe jacked up on acid, it’s 50 times better! Rey wouldn’t have been so hated if they’d made her what she was meant to be……a Palpatine! This is so great! Yes, you definitely should make something like this!
This is roughly like what i would've thought of when I was 6 in 2005. Of course not is such depth but this is how our stories would play out with my friends and out action figures.
The Song at 12:02 is from the The Tuskin Raider Camp where Anakin went to Rescue his mom in Attack of the Clones
Better than anything Disney has done. That's a blockbuster right there.
Man this shows how good AI can be used to storyboard something. Enjoyed this, so if you were to do your voice overs, i'd def watch.
“Rey fights Ben. Ben is outmatched in every way”
I guess some things never change
but this time she was actually trained lol
...and she's a Sith
wow incredible writing. you partnering with this person and creating an entire fan faction which could be voice acted would be great!
I'm so glad this is picking up attention from other Star Wars channels...
"What if Last Jedi was Awesome" is GREAT too.. It's so much better and I can't wait for the next video.
You definitely should do your own fan fiction. It would be light years better than anything Disney puts out.
Um...
Have you looked through his channel at all?
Jesus why don't we have writers like this at Lucas Films
Because disney bought them
Because Disney no longer hire writers and story tellers, they hire propaganda agents
Because DEI
Man, I'm happy I have a visual oriented mind rn. I just imagine Han with a lightsaber in his chest still looking like a badass just nodding to Luke and saying "I know" the same way he did when he frozen when leia said I love you.
Then Luke only nodding back with 2 tears in his eye's, running off.
This was super interesting. I really wish we got this. I was extremely interested in what would happen next and enjoyed the direction so much more then what we got.
This would have been SOOOOOO much better. Why couldn't we have gotten something like this?!?
We just did
One of the best star wars videos ive ever seen those stories are amazing
This version was so good I immediately showed two of my best friends, it’s all we talked about for weeks. The second one dropped a few weeks ago
Damn! I got chills when Luke talked to Anakin, goddamn this is leaps and bounds way better than what Disney did. Disney should be ashamed . This is a movie I would had loved to see!
Someone needs remake episodes 7/8/9 using animation. It would blow up. I wouldn’t mind seeing all the same characters but in different roles like in this video
Dude please make a full fanfic for how you’d have written the sequel trilogy
Wow, I would love to see this. Side note, the fan fiction with your narration would be a good idea.
This is good, really good! I like how it takes things that were brought to us by the real sequels, the Force Awakens, in this case, but adds so much to it. Content, scenarios, a few really cool twists and turns. Surprisingly, I kinda want to believe that this could have been done and brought to the big screen. Well, not this story line, no. But something like it.
I also like how there are hints, here and there, that point towards some of the books that tell the story after the Return of the Jedi (now considered EU). Not too much on the Thrawn-trilogy, yet. I wonder if he's going to make an appearance in the next What ifs.. I remember reading about a sun killer or something in one of them... I was so confused!
Had a good laugh too. That sleeping spell... A little odd for Star Wars, I'll admit (though, Theory's reaction was priceless!). I think the creator of this was going for the Force ability that Kylo Ren used on Rey, I think it was on their first encounter?
And yes! Would definitely love to see some of your fan fictions, Theory, done in this manner! Though, I agree, the AI voice over is a little... Meh. But other than that, a cool concept!
That, was so good I actually teared up a bit when Han died, in disney's I just sat there dumbstruck that they actually killed him, plus you see it coming from a mile away, it sucked. This tho, would of been a fantastic film minus the star forge part since that was destroyed and all that but I digress. Excellent work and hats off to the creators of this fine piece of true soul of star wars art!
I’d love to see your story with AI images! As silly as they can be they help bring it to life for sure
The mini lightsaber the stormtrooper is holding at 4:50 is freaking hilarious 😆
Now this would've been well written. I remember being super confused watching TFA, thinking why are the good guys still rebels?
Been watching ai presidents and it’s funny af and some content have great storylines, definitely consider doing this type of content Theory but be careful, it’s like Mace using the Dark side.
Watching this makes you both sad and angry. You realize what could have been, and just how badly the sequels were screwed up. Thanks Kathleen.
I can't wait to see your versions of this kind of What If story!!!
They brought in the freaking STAR FORGE!!!! That has Reven written all over it. This would have been SO much better, and would have tied in the high republic and set us up for a possible Revan return. OMG this is both awesome and infuriating.
The fact we got stormtroopers and jedi in the movie is brilliant.
I just watched it this week! You gotta watch part 2 because it is also good. I don't agree with Luke's decision to go after Rey instead of saving Han, but other than that it is really good. The creator has clearly thought things out ahead of time, unlike Disney.
He heard a voice saying a few cold mysterious words, it was the emperor “do it”
Really good video. In some ways it reminds me of your old star wars what if scenarios.
a father/mentorship triangle wouldve been so compelling, luke is bens master and han is jealous but han is poes mentor and ben is jealous are you freaking kidding me its too good
Definitely create a version of your own sequel trilogy with the narration
Please watch the next one.
I watched these right as they came out, and they’re fantastic
Would love to hear your own rendition of the sequel !! I had wrote one after watching episode 9 out of spite but my keep points were that the Emperor used the clone technology used from the war to make several clones of him self. Rey being one 😜 you are free to use that
Rey is a sith. This alone makes it better. And the way han solo dies for his boy is a much better shocking death. This is the true power for having someone who actually loves and respects the setting
I think you should do something like this, but do it like an old radio play with voice actors and a narrator to fill in the details.
I heard this, and the sequel, a couple weeks ago. I started telling everybody who cared about Star Wars, about it. For me, this is the true Canon. This is exactly what happened, after George Lucas's first Star Wars trilogy. This is the truth.
Why isn’t the video / channel linked in the description? Bare minimum credit where credit is due y’all
Let’s hope the mandalorian joins the new republic fight. Maybe this affects him as much as it does Poe, Finn, and Ben Swolo. And later Rey Palpatine.
1:54 I love this detail. The sequels certainly didn't need to go overboard with having as many Jedi around in the galaxy during this time as there was during the prequels (tens of thousands), but having barely three around (counting Yoda ) is old and tired as well.
I would actually like if you make stories like these, i've been watching Pente's stories.
You should watching the 2hr long stories he has it's so great and captivating
This was actually good. Really enjoyed listing to this. But this is the exact reason a true fan needs to be in charge of star wars. So we get gripping stories like this. That make sense. Man this was so refreshing. Truly.
This is insanely better than what we've got, if you can, do a series about it please
The soundtrack is from when Obi wan and Anakin are talking about his dreams in padme’s apartment. Brownie points pls ☺️
Dude….I hope Bob Iger sees this and realizes this could still be done. Using cgi/deepfake and such. It’s a perfect win/win in my opinion. It gives Star Wars the respect and treatment it deserves, it doesn’t alienate any of the fandom, it doesn’t denigrate and spit on the cast of the sequels. It allows literally everyone involved in all of Star Wars to have one huge unified win. Literally brings all of the fandom, all of the casts, together, in a way that honors everything and everyone in Star Wars. I know it won’t happen. But..man..what it could be.
Here’s how the sequel era should have gone:
Phase 1: film adaptations of the Thrawn trilogy.
- Heir to the Empire = Episode 7
- Dark Force Rising = Episode 8
- The Last Command = Episode 9
This would have paid homage to the EU and delighted longtime fans by bringing beloved EU characters like Thrawn, Mara Jade, and Jaina and Jacen Solo to film. Yes they would have had to recast Luke, Han, and Leia but I think audiences would have accepted that because the stories are so good. And Hamill, Ford, and Fisher could have appeared in flash-forward cameos.
Phase 2: new stories
Now that Lucasfilm had brought several of the most popular characters and stories from the EU to film with respect and care, fans would have been much more open to new stories.
Andor, Rogue One, the Mandalorian, Rebels, and maybe Ahsoka could have all still existed with likely minimal differences. We could have also gotten a story similar to the video above, with the original actors for Luke, Han, and Leia; Mara Jade fighting alongside Luke, and a grown Jaina and Jacen…alongside new ideas like the First Order, Snoke, and Rey. (Rey = Jaina, kidnapped as a child and turned to the dark side?)
The point is, Lucasfilm could have gotten much better stories and made the transition to SOME new canon a lot smoother had they phased in the new content instead of throwing the entire EU in the garbage.
Literally got chills as soon as Anakins force ghost Speaks to Luke👏 just beautiful..
Looks like Poe Dameron has seen some serious stuff in his life with that 1000 yard stare.
It's not a perfect script, but it is Star Wars at the core. Which is all we ever really ask for.
I think I could watch things like this more than I watch movies, I am digging the story narration with awesome images about a new Star Wars story.
This is great and yes you should do this too! I would love to hear your stories!
Honestly, I wish the Imperial Remnant was among the good guys, like in Legends continuity. Most Imperials did not know Vader and Palpatine were Sith, and most joined the Empire out of a desire to see to it the galaxy never fell into the chaos that came during the time of the Old Republic.
Seeing the New Republic create such peace without use of force would be of intrigue to Moffs who simply want the stability that peace and order would bring. Relunctant at first, the New Republic joins forces with the Imperial Remnant when a new threat arises. Picture Luke leading a squad of stormtroopers into battle, or an Imperial Star Destroyer lining up its cannons and blasting an entrance so the Falcon and New Republic fighters could make their way into the enemy base.
I would love to hear you do your own story and voice acting/narrating
for the sequels I meant lol
Bro this version of solo's death brings me into tears, can you believe that?
I sincerely hope someone with some AI technology or graphic design capabilities, remakes these movies because the storyline is so much better than anything we saw from Disney…. please please please please please!!!
Really enjoyed this story. Wish Disney would have put more effort into creating something similar. A story that actually makes sense.
I would love to see how your take on this style of fanfic would be!
Not seeing Anakins force ghost in the sequels is one of the biggest missed opportunities in cinematic history. I would’ve loved seeing Luke look for guidance with Yoda, Anakin and Obi Wan’s force ghosts.
I would love you doing a series like this.
i’ve been watching these and they are great. the last jedi could have been so much more than what we got.
Had hairs standing up within the first 2 mins, and i think that AI voice is pretty good, thanks man this is so much better ! And yes if you could make some fan fic like this, I cant imagine your viewers wouldnt love it
On its own the force awakens is a perfect movie, considering the fact that most of the gripes that people have with it come from issues from the next to movies, I would say on its own it is a perfect movie
I think perfect is a stretch for any movie, but I get what your point is. Just it by itself still gave lots of potential for VIII and IX to go many cool ways.
You should totally do content like you suggested! I’d love that
I would love to see your version of doing this.
I want him to react to the continuation of this What if? Series!
The main reason this story is so much better is purely because what was built in the original trilogy wasn't destroyed. Luke is a Jedi master, Leia is the head of the republic, Han a respected general. I have no clue what disney was thinking taking away every characters emotional progression and maturity, putting them all back on square one, off screen.
The other reason is that nobody is suddenly overpowered with no training. In the OT and prequels, both luke and Anakin are shown to progress in there skills as jedi over 3 films. Neither are shown to be a match to the sith of there times in the first 2, Anakin loses his arm to Dooku and luke loses his hand to Vader. We got to see them grow and overcome there own struggles wheras Rey just picks up a lightsaber and starts humiliating Ren before we even know her backstory.
