I am so annoyed and mad. I am going to have to research it all out. It is going to take time. This is going to be a miserable chore. I have to map out all nine episodes of Star Wars. It is going to be a pain. To redo the whole series is not going to be easy. There are so many annoying things and loopholes in Star Wars, that as I read more, I just throw up my hands, and say, "F*** This! I'll do it my way!"
First of all, though it is a dramatic moment in 'Empire', Darth will not be Luke's father. That is something that was made up after Episode IV. I'll have Luke say 'Nooooooooo!" to something else.
Episode I is the first thing that needs an overhaul. What could have been a great movie turned out to be an emotionless piece of crap. The pod race scene was designed mostly to sell Star Wars related video games, but really doesn't do much in terms of signifying value.
Spending time with everybody captured in a net by Ewoks in Episode VI was a pretty weak moment.
Well, enough time has gone by since the release of Episode IV that an overhaul can take place. All the Star Wars information is on Wookiepedia, so there actually is a way to put all of the information together.
The truth is, that despite Lucas not wanting to make Episodes VII-IX, the information is there about what happens after Episode VI. The story can continue. Luke and Han can be played by someone else, who cares at this point? The chance is gone to use the original actors. Lucas waited too long, and that is a shame. He blew it, so f it, get somebody else.
Anyway, that is how I feel.
The original gripe was that Star Trek fans were more intellectual, and they had more information about The Star Trek Universe. Well, that has changed. There is more stuff on Star Wars now.
'A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...' I am starting to have problems with that line now, though it is a gorgeous line...it is impractical. The real line is...'In an alternate universe in a time that mirrors our own...' is my interpretation. It works for me and my purposes.
For Star Wars to be a history..well, how did Earth ever hear about the story? If it is in a galaxy far, far away, maybe an alien from Star Trek planted a seed in Lucas's head. See, that is an alternate reality right there.
'There are no bras in space' - George Lucas to Carrie Fisher during the filming of Star Wars.
There are lots of things in Star Wars that retroactively need working out. Lando Calrissian was originally conceived as a clone. I just read it on the article for Star Wars on wikipedia, look for yourself.

Well, there you go. Read the entire article. It is good reading.
The wife of George Lucas made a killing when she divorced him. Sheeez. Was he that bad of a guy, or was the marriage a disaster? Who knows what went on, but I sure am curious.
Basically, since Star Wars was made up on the fly, and it was made up as Lucas went along, this makes it possible to gather all the information, and to rewrite the whole thing, and make it all work. The nine movies could be redone as a nine book series, in the epic manner of 'Lord of The Rings'. That would be awesome, and it would help to make sense of the whole 'Star Wars Mess'.
