Can't believe I only just found this. I was more invested in this story as you told it than I was in all three fully made, fully filmed sequels. I am a die hard Star Wars fan but my faith and love for the franchise is at an all time low, however this on one random Saturday night has allowed me to cheer and be invested in the world I truly love once again. This is outstanding and I thank you so so much for it, I know I'm three years late but still. I'm booting up the old google docs in the morning and will go back to my star wars AUs. I hope someone high up from Disney has seen this and will read the comment to see truly how amazing this is.

Sure, maybe the details aren't perfect (how could we expect that from one guy) but the overarching theme is just so good... clearly different from the previous entries but with so many callbacks, world building, etc. Amazing that one good writer could come up with something this good but all of Lucasfilm created what we got.

@andrewheaney4874
@andrewheaney4874 3 жыл бұрын
Accurate. Definitely accurate. I actually like Force Awakens as a fun movie, but... it is too safe. That is certainly true. I don't really like The Last Jedi; it's a bold and original but failed attempt. So yeah, too bold. I don't like The Rise of Skywalker at all. It's a shallow, safe, pandering, focus-grouped, and ultimately inconsequential failed attempt-yup, too desperate to win fans over. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I like The Last Jedi far more than The Rise of Skywalker. A bold and original but failed attempt is much more interesting than a shallow, safe, pandering, focus-grouped, and ultimately inconsequential failed attempt. They both suck, but I would willingly rewatch The Last Jedi any day over The Rise of Skywalker. At least none of them are as bad as the snore-fest that is Attack of the Clones. Edit: it looks like people don’t understand that this is my opinion and there’s really nothing that will change my mind here. Especially nothing about Attack of the Clones; you could not pay me money to sit through it again.

I cried during certain parts of his story (which at best is just a pitch). Most notably when Obi wan was recalling the events of the prequels and Luke realizing that he has become the very thing he swore to destroy. An edit I would do is instead of having Rey turn back to the light side when she realizes who she's becoming, she instead tries to deny it and embrace her mothers teachings. Even after she knows what she's doing is wrong, the fact that her mother acts like she genuinely cares about her when no one else has. And that makes her want to what ever they want she can just because you want to please them because they were the only one who cared.

Unbelievable video! I don’t think I’ve ever watched a nearly 2 hour long KZfaq video. Well done! The only thing I would change is adding in something about how the Jedi are also flawed in their no love, no attachments mentality. It’s always bothered me, even as a kid 25+ years ago, that they didn’t allow love and affection as part of their teachings. So if Luke or Rey, or Kylo can find their way to the gray side that allows for feelings but uses them constructively as opposed to using them for evil like the dark side, I think that would be even better.

You can either have criminals and traitors who do all sorts of messed up stuff and whose corruption knows no limits orrr you can choose the political outsiders who don’t know how to conduct themselves presidentially yet are very successful at running a country, even if you never hear about it in television.

@@philipseitz95 Thanks for the giggles. Do you honestly expect me to do a complete 180 with my opinion this close to a major election by using the same meaningless Fox News talking points from 2016? Speaking of Fox News, it’s the most popular TV news network on cable and now owned by Disney after the Fox merger, similar to Star Wars here, meaning Fox News is the very definition of “mainstream television.” Nice try pretending to be a free-thinker, again, it would have actually fooled me prior to the 2016 election. Finally, thank you for answering my question as to why people keep voting increasingly delusional and out-of-touch celebrities into extremely important government positions. It sounds like the people that think millionaires and billionaires who didn’t even really have to work for their money would even be capable of sympathy for less-fortunate Americans are pretty delusional and out-of-touch themselves.

I was never all that into star wars, I had binge watched all nine movies at the insistence of my dad and step mum, but this, it brought me to tears. The volume I screamed 'yes' at when the idea of Obi-Wans force ghost talking to Luke was unreal. I know the movies are packed as it is, but seeing Leia and Han a bit more, almost a reunion with them and Luke before Luke sacrifices himself, a really strong happy moment bright down by his heroic sacrifice, showing that this Jedi, gave up being with his sister, and best friends to save the galaxy, helps the jedi being viewed in a greater light.

Somehow… Palpatine returned. Somehow… Rey can defeat literally anyone, despite only discovering the Force literally three days earlier. Somehow… Rey repaired Luke’s lightsaber, even though it had been torn in half and then completely blown up as the Supremacy was destroyed. Somehow… The Force Heal ability was never used by any Jedi, not even Anakin to save Padme or Obi-Wan to save Qui Gon, before Rey used it to save an enemy that had killed his own father before her eyes. Somehow… The Death Star wreckage is on a random ocean planet, mostly intact and left untouched by scavengers, even though it should’ve crashed on Endor and should’ve been completely destroyed by the explosion. Somehow... Hyperspace is a weapon of mass destruction, which had never been used as a weapon until Holdo came up with it, even literal eons after it’s creation. Somehow… No one has crashed into something, literally anything, whilst flying in Hyperspace before Holdo did. Somehow… Force Ghosts can interact with the physical world, yet they have never once tried to help the Jedi in battle. Somehow… People were paid to write this trilogy.

@@royalkingdom2801 Oh, so you want me to start listing off the facts? Well, okay, then: The Star Wars prequels definitely had problems, mainly in the fact that George Lucas was mainly thinking about the child audience when he was making the trilogy. This led to the creation of Jar Jar, who mainly just came off as annoying and unnecessary rather than comic relief. There is also the fact that the dialogue in the trilogy is more dramatic and ‘poetic’ than the Original Trilogy, which led to some important lines coming off as comedic rather than being dramatic or romantic. That being said, the story of the Prequels is amazing. The worldbuilding is made in breathtaking detail and provides amazing context for the entire franchise. The plot tells the tragic story of how Anakin became Darth Vader in amazing storytelling and allows you to understand Anakin’s turn to the dark side completely. Meanwhile, the Sequels can BARELY be called a trilogy or a story at all. Each of the movies were made by different directors who both had different plans for how the trilogy would end. Every time they made a movie, they did not even build their story from the plan that the previous film set up and instead made up their own plan as they went, which ended up causing the themes of each movie completely contradict each other. For example, The Force Awakens was basically just a remake of A New Hope, with a fancier Death Star. All it did was basically try to build a new story that tried to appeal to the Original Trilogy, however, instead of trying to build A New Story off of the Original Trilogy, they basically just tried to copy everything from more iconic films to try and look appealing, instead of coming up something new and original. However, The Last Jedi has the exact opposite problem. It tries to make a story that was new and original, but instead of building the story off of the legacy of the Original Trilogy’s characters and accomplishments, they essentially try to make every single one of our favorite past characters look as pathetic as possible so that they can new characters look better. Luke’s entire character was completely ruined by this movie, because he turned into the exact opposite of who he was. He went from a brave, determined Jedi to a cowardly, pathetic hermit who wouldn’t even leave the planet he was on to save his own sister and the Rebellion. These are just a few of the countless problems that the Sequels stupidly created. Let’s get into the characters shall we? First off, Rey is a terrible protagonist. From the very first part of the trilogy, she has NO character development. Absolutely NONE. Her abilities in the Force are not attained through hard work and determination, but are just GIVEN to her by the writers for no other reason than to make her overpowered. And it’s not just the Force they made her overpowered with. They made her win EVERY SINGLE LIGHTSABER DUEL SHE’S EVER HAD. The first time, literally the FIRST TIME, she ACTIVATED a lightsaber, she went up against a guy who had been trying with the Force and his lightsaber his ENTIRE LIFE, despite having NO training with any blade-like weapon of any kind. And she WINS. The first time that both Luke and Anakin fought in a lightsaber duel, even though they had trained their asses off, they got their asses handed to them. Because of course they did. Both the opponents they were facing were significantly more experienced and powerful than they were. The point of that was that both of them eventually overcame their struggles and grew more skilled as time progressed. But Rey didn’t overcome any struggles, because she was never defeated. She was already made the most powerful character by the begining of the trilogy through nothing else but 10 inches thick plot armor. There are countless other problems in the Sequels. So many that I can’t even get into the full number of them without turning this reply into an entire book. The Prequels definetly weren’t perfect, but they were definetly better than a dumb story that MAKES NO SENSE and ruins every single one of our favorite past characters. The fact that you are actually trying to say that the Prequels were WORSE than this garbage makes me wonder if you’ve actually watched Star Wars at all.

@@1001History the kind of confrontation and what he had to do with his father and what vader did and how vader did it, and what luke had to do to his father might be a bit traumatizing. Being someone who struggles with PTSD myself, this makes complete sense to me: nearly abandoning ones convictions to protect yourself and others. Not only this, he realized in that moment he was about to repeat the same path his father took. Edit: further, PTSD blocks out your memories and leaves only the intense feelings there and specific stimuli that trigger those memories as a warning system. The summary you give in your post is a summary of what Luke confessed summary. We don't have the full story, just Luke's and Ben's brief recounting of events. No context, nothing.

Except that all these questions have been ansered in the FIRST movie. for example. Is the first order a small faction or a large faction? Small faction. Stated in the first movie of the sequal trilogy. Why didn't they built a navy instead of starkiller? Limited resources. So they decided to built one death canon that soaks up energy from the sun instead of creating new energy and deliver that first blow in a desperate attempt to destroy the enemy. Why didn't the New republic do anything? The new republic didn't want another war and only saw the first order as a fringe group. All of the question he so smugly spouts can be explained. Yes explained poorly with not much logic placed into them. But they CAN be answered.

I Icried during certain parts of his story (which at best is just a pitch). Most notably when Obi wan was recalling the events of the prequels and Luke realizing that he has become the very thing he swore to destroy. An edit I would do is instead of having Rey turn back to the light side when she realizes who she's becoming, she instead tries to deny it and embrace her mothers teachings. Even after she knows what she's doing is wrong, the fact that her mother acts like she genuinely cares about her when no one else has. And that makes her want to what ever they want she can just because you want to please them because they were the only one who cared. And Kylo has to try and make her see that she should follow her own path instead of staying with her evil mother. The only comparison I can make is Zuko and Iroh but this is obviously way different.

Oh man. Your version was incredible. After seeing the characters, especially Luke treated so terribly by Disney, to see someone who actually cares and is a good writer do something that carries the story forward and not just teleports it to some random spot in left field is just refreshing. I really needed that. I was troubled by one part though. I know we want to hit a downbeat in the second movie, that's just a gimme. I don't know if Luke dying then was the right call. It's great but I wanted more from him than realizing he was a bad mentor. We need to see how powerful he really is. This is Luke near prime and I don't think we're gonna get that out of one sacrificial act unless he contains a supernova with the force or something. 😂 We have to see even him barely making it against the Youzhong Vong. Challenged in combat, challenged in mentorship. We have to show the orders of magnitude difference between a jedi knight like even Obi-Wan and Luke, son of the chosen one, and without massively debilitating injuries. And we really need to see his relationship with Leia, his twin sister. I love Han retiring. Chewie trying to convince him he's still got some good years in him. Chewie heartbroken because wookies live much longer. Like watching your old dog age. Leia got such a good treatment in Obi-Wan. I want to see more of her political acumen in the spotlight. A force user as strong as her but as a force for society. Running circles around her opponents, handling dissent, charming everyone around her. Honestly, there's way more than enough story for 2 sequel trilogies. God I hope AI hurries up and we can tell it what movies we want. 😂

Agreed. I differ with Closer Look that they did Han any favors and semi well. Disney and JJ went out of their way to destroy the Han we knew and loved. Dead beat dad, slipped back to being a low level smuggler (and incompetent one at that), lost the Falcon somehow, etc. All of which happened without explanation. It's clear Disney and JJ were desperate to spike the OT characters to push their inferior ones instead of having a natural progression, mentorship, and hand off. Oh who am I kidding? At this point we all know Disney did not have an outline or over arching plan for the sequel trilogy

But he has to be different for "diversity" reasons whilst adding pretty much nothing to the plot and being completely useless, that is pretty much the definition of being a token character, he's there just to be there and for no other reason at all. Not even for something like social commentary because in that case, he wouldn't be completely useless, but he's there just to be there, just to check a box, in the hope that for example someone like me would go "Hey that guy looks almost a bit like me, now I feel like I am included in the Star Wars universe, doesn't matter that he's a completely superficial and he's actually a lousy representation effort". It's just a very cheap ploy and actually having the opposite effect they hope for. If they wanted to do something to actually represent, they could at least have done a Lando, make a character with some actual personality, an arc and who is actually of importance to the plot.

(Edit, I wrote all of this BEFORE watching your version, just to see if we had any similarities. and boy i was suprised and excited you included jedi being unwanted in the galaxy, awesome.) 3 years late, but I just wanted to say, I started working on an alternate story for the sequels as well, although i decided to completely leave the characters and concepts behind, mostly because this is just a project for a tabletop campaign. Anyway, the current project title is "Star Wars: A New Force", and the current concept is that the empire does not completely die out, and denounces the sith, instead of becoming tyrants, they preach a wish to create law and order throughout the galaxy without the need of using fear. Several of the systems still rallied behind them stay with the empire, believing in their ideals. Control of the galaxy. The rebels found the new republic, but being funded by what is essentially a resistance cell makes it hard for them to completely take control. The two factions slowly grow in power, the New republic struggles as it tries to create a new government with very little resources and with too many grand promises. I wanted to try and make less of a "Good vs Evil" story for this, showing the new republic trying to become the "good guys" but suffering from lack of resources and finding corruption cropping up within their ranks as officials go unfunded, wealthy merchant groups running rampant, etc. The Empire would be suffering from their losses, struggling to regain the trust of systems that they previously had control of as the people would rightfully fear their actions. All the while, in the background, the jedi order would reform, but the galactic factions would quietly begin to distance themselves from force users. Too many wars have been fought because of magic space wizards who disagree on what "balance" is. The New Republic does not outright publicly smear the jedi, but they're too afraid of bringing forth another war. I also create a group of force users who do not side with the sith or the jedi, the Grey Knights who are a neutral party that believe that true balance is embracing light and dark. This is all really rough draft stuff but, I've been having a blast putting it together. I'm also no superfan, so i'm sure there's a lot wrong with what i've written here but, hey, i like it.

The one I really feel sorry for in this whole mess is Mark Hamill, he's a wonderful actor and his role of Luke essentially catapulted his career sky high and obviously he holds a lot of respect for Star Wars and George Lucas as well, I imagine when the new trilogy was announced he must've been thrilled to have a chance to act as Luke again, this time much older and wiser, both as actor and character. But he so openly thrashed the sequels which is not something you see actors almost ever do. He wanted to be a part of something wonderful and instead watched something he holds very dear to be destroyed and he had to take part in it. From almost every interview I've had a chance to see he seems not mad or disillusioned, he is just legitimately sad it ended up the way it did it breaks my heart.

The scene of young him staring off into the two evening suns of Tatooine longing for something more than being a moisture farmer will forever the most iconic scene of the whole franchise to me.

The craziest thing is, Finn was hinted to also have Jedi powers in the first film. I know that it would had been a stretch, but giving him some time to be allowed to take a Jedi weapon (he might have found) and just start using it throughout the films, and have it pay off later would be nice. We also do need Po, Finn, Rei, and Kylo to actually join up here or there in some episodes. Like have some moments with Po and Finn, but then later have Finn accompany Rei on missions, while Kylo and Po dog fight some enemies in space together. Then later have Finn and Kylo discuss their thoughts on the Order and if they have doubts while Po sees what is happening to Rei and tries to talk to her about it (which can be one of the many driving forces to have her look herself over in the mirror). This dynamic would help foster in some fun moments. Basically a majority of the cast would be in the villains shoes most of the time, which isn't common in Star Wars.

I've seen several plot pitches like this online from several different creators. It makes me wonder how in the HELL Disney dropped the ball on this with their nearly unlimited access to talent and resources. What a shit show.

I loved it! I was so disgusted by the last three movies that I try to pretend they don’t exist. Thank you for righting the wrongs to one of my favorite childhood memories.
