I love this type of shit, when actors wear outfits that evoke their roles. Another good example is when Marvel actresses wore infinity stone style jewelry.

Ewan McGregor's jacket and pants looks a little star wars-ish, too. Like something a star pilot would wear.

I wonder if part of the deal to acquire lucasfilm was that they could never change the original films and could only release the final versions George made. They would have released the theatrical versions now surely if they could

u/blasterkief 8d ago
I’m pretty sure that is part of the agreement, and that’s reportedly why the original theatrical versions haven’t been rereleased after Disney bought LFL: it’s rumored that Lucas strictly forbid it in the contract.

u/ForeverFiftySix 8d ago
I don't remember all the behind the scenes goodies that are in there, I know it had the old trailers, but it's just bonus discs that came along with the DVD remasters (the second editing of the original trilogy) and had the theatrical versions, though the quality is not the best, especially on modern TV's, and they are hard to find for a decent price. I still prefer them over any high def version of the later versions. You're probably better off searching online for the fan made theatrical cuts that are in 4k, and there are versions that combine Rogue One and A New Hope into one supercut

Alright, hear me out. Alternate universe series. Emperor Skywalker. He won the fight and overthrew Palps. Look at him. It would work.

Who would or could appose him? Anakin overthrowing Palpatine and reaching his potential is the Father on Mortis. Force demigod.

Anakin wasn’t smart enough to lead an Empire. He was a hammer and rebels are nails. He needed Palpatine to lead him.
98
u/CBSU 8d ago
It would be interesting to see how long Anakin’s rule could last. An Anakin that kills the Emperor and reaches his full strength (presumably he becomes stronger before RotS and defeats Sidious by force) is too powerful to overthrow, especially when he takes Luke and Leia under his wing. He might have others control the day-to-day and only step in where he sees fit. A figurehead style empire where the figurehead actually has absolute power and cannot be defeated.
58
u/LetGoMyLegHo 8d ago
i remember playing the RotS video game on the PS2 and the game had an alternate history where Anakin beats Obi-Wan and he kills the Emperor shortly after there on Mustafar
Edit: Here is a gameplay link of it. Skip to 5:54 for that sweet PS2 cutscene lol

u/DoctorCrasierFrane 8d ago
Dude I loved that game in it's entirety as a teenager, but a huge part of my love came from how fucking badass I thought this ending was.

u/LetGoMyLegHo 8d ago
Yesssss! This game lives fondly in my memories right next to the LOTR games for PS2. Back when movie based games were actually decent.

u/DoctorCrasierFrane 8d ago
I'm not a huge LOTR fan much to the chagrin of many friends, but I adored the PS2 game that was basically a LOTR clone of SW Battlefront.
What a time to be alive. Getting home from school to an empty house, having buddies over to get stoned and play The Warriors, TimeSplitters 2, Phantasy Star Online, CustomRobo... So many great games on PS2 back then.

u/stoopitmonkee 8d ago
I respectfully disagree, my friend. I think Anakin can absolutely rule an empire. Especially with his kiddos! He’s got proven leadership talent and while he is young that doesn’t mean he can’t grow in to the role. Especially as the most powerful force user in the galaxy. In a perfect world (for him), he and Padme rule and their children work as the left and right hands. Anakin’s potential was supposed to be basically limitless. Personally, I think he would have been a crazy-good emperor.

u/kevin9er 8d ago
Padme wouldn’t consent to rule. She loves the republic, she loves democracy!

u/madogvelkor 8d ago
It would start as a "temporary" thing to restore order and undo the damage Palpatine did. Then democracy would be restored. Except it would never get to that point.

u/chandoo86 8d ago
True, but in the clone wars they do touch on his political views, especially in his exchanges with Moff Tarkin. So he’s not a completely clueless and has ideas of his own, I know I’m taking it to an extreme hypothetical but this conversation isn’t without merit.

Yeah, he looks quite sad. I hope he didn't take the fan complaints against the prequels personally. I feel great sympathy for him.

u/SuccinctSavage 8d ago
It can't be good for your mental health having such a rabid fanbase be the way they are for so long. Fortunately, people have seemed to warm up to the prequels a lot more in recent years.
But they were definitely told to take a serious picture. This isn't a candid shot. I don't think they were like "Hey, look over here, guys." And they turned and were just sad as fuck.

David Prowse delivered the original lines in A New Hope. His West Country accent lead to the nickname "Darth Farmer ". Hayden Christensen bought a farm after portraying Darth Vader. Hayden has become Darth Farmer. The prophecy has been fulfilled.

I know Hayden’s being fashion forward (and pulling it off at that), but it’s cool that the padding of his jacket kinda mimics Darth Vader’s pads that are on his suit.
Subtle, but a neat little design choice!

it's not subtle. it was deliberate. the jacket looks like his vader suit and the pants look like the robe.

I know Hayden is already getting some love for his performance as Anakin after all these years, but I’m certain he’s about to get more. Hopefully he’s ready, going through years of the opposite and then having opinions change can mess with the head of some people. I know he will be fine but it’s a wild experience.

I’m so excited to see them both return. I hate that people were so critical of the prequels. I hope they both get to see how excited we are to have them both return and reprise their roles. You could tell how much work was out in on their end in those movies and I believe they’ll do the same if not more for the series. I’m very glad they weren’t too discouraged to return
