Colonial Star Wars

The new Star Wars trilogy (I-III) occured during the Star Wars sixties judging by the designs of civilian ships. Can you imagine what a renaissance/colonial Star Wars would be like?

My guess is riflemen will have to march right up to the enemy in line formation in full view of the enemy and only fire on command. Sorta like this. (http://img.hexus.net/v2/gaming/cossacks2/cossacks2_small_1.jpg) Troops will have light bayonets and Jedi and Sith would be more common so that there can be infantry with light sabers. Space ships will have sails and oars instead of engines. Everyone will speak in shakespearian. And all projectiles will be loaded with ramrods except light arrows.

Whats your guess?

I figure that despite being only a few feet from their targets the Stormtroopers will still miss.

Star Wars Episode III: revenge of the worst trilogy ever made.

The emperor gives the storm troopers the go ahead to betray the Jedi, and they kill all but like five in less than five minutes.

Yeah, the last twenty minutes or so of that movie were the best...shame we had to sit through the previous first hour and some. I really wanted to see how much strength it would take to stab my Twizzler through Hayden Christsen's heart...

Mark Hamil was just as big an embarrassing dork in Episode IV (and even creepier, considering that the girl he had a hard-on for was his sister).

Ok, good point. So the fight was pretty entertaining. Then the surgery scene, and then the musical closing. So basically people paid $9.50 for 13 minutes of film. :(

I want to know where Leia's fake British accent went.

Ah, but remember, he never kissed her... SHE kissed him... each and every time! :p


Colonial times...

Jedi and Sith would probably be one group. teaching all the force powers as they are discovered.

pre light speeds... so cryo sleep would be used.

Coroscant (sp) would not be as developed as it is now.

half the species discovered.

Lightsabers non exsistant.

no Blaster/Laser pistols... all rifles at least.

no Stormtroopers (they were made recently according to ep 2... remember?)

no Republic or at least the Republic is starting.

Even worse...

C-3PO's puns, Jarjar, the army of Jarjars, and the script...

"I don't like sand....it's course and grainy, and gets everywhere."

"Not just the men, but the women and the children!"

I laughed so goddamned hard.

Hmm. Would the Mandalorians be kicking around? They'd be a force to be reckoned with...

Curse you, Lucas! I coulda bought a box of Miniatures for that! *shakes fist*

WTF?!?

considering that no one knew that DV was Luke's and Lea's Father except Georgie Look-Ass himself, he knew they were related from the start. and HE WROTE the script...

makes you wonder about his state of mind...

Well go play KOTOR 1 and 2 if you want ot know what it was like back then.

Wasn't it Boba then? And is this 1-6 set in colonial times, or just what it would have been like in the SW universe during a supposed colonial time? Now I've confuzzled myself. I'll just say Darasuum kote! and go back to my drink.

People! Always with the kissing thing...the first one was a peck on the cheek for good luck.

The second was to prove a point. It wasn't so much Leia kissing Luke in affection so much as to piss off Han.

Wait, yeah. I'm sticking to the "she didn't know" rationalization.

*eyeballs the empty glass*
Star Wars and alcohol...hmm.

The whole twin thing, nevermind the brother/sister thing wasn't invented before the writing of ESB.

I'll just say Darasuum kote! and go back to my drink. Boba was the clone kid we saw in Eps 2. he grows up to return in Eps 5 and 6. Jango was Boba's father.

and this is assuming that 1-6 is the 60's setting.

there's a Star Wars CCG. and each card that shows Luke and Lea kissing, the caption reads "That's just plain wrong!" :p

and I do believe they kiss again in Return of the Jedi. but that too was a 'sisterly' peck on the cheek.

I believe it was. he had the whole thing planned out from start to finish. the reason why it started with eps 4-6 was that it was the most action packed of the six episodes (and thus more Movie Worthy) and as he said, the technology wasn't around to pull off 1-3 properly. (tho the problem was the writing, not the FX...)

Yeah, I know. I was saying the last Mandalorian would have been Boba, by blood, not Jango.

Although any good Mandalore would roll over in his grave if he knew the last one of their fierce warrior culture was hanging out in a giant intestine.

I'd just as soon kiss a wookiee.

In one of the Star Wars comics (yes, it's non cannon, but a good story anyway), it had him escaping, but with Amniesa. he ends up helping Han and at the critical time where they needed to jump ship or die, he remembered his bounty on Han and paused long enough (with one attempt to kill Han)and he missed his window to jump. Don't think he died tho.
