I was 100% ready for a decapitated hand as a protagonist to a 7 episode show. The story of a hand trying to make it’s way back to it’s master through the ways of The Force. Then realizing it can make a family with other decapitated hands and that it doesn’t have to be bound by it’s place if origin. The more I think about it, the more I want it.
Coming next fall to Disney+, Owen: A Moisture Farmer’s Tale.
Although frankly it still can’t be as bad as Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Just get Star Wars away from Jedi and the entire extended Skywalker family. Just never fucking mention any of them ever again. In fact, just get all the rest of the cast of Narcos in, and make fuckin’ Narcos in Space. Narcos is the key to good Star Wars.
The biggest problem with it is the character they chose was supposed to be a bad guy at the time which they can’t do because it’s Disney so changing the character would work
There are other issues but for a Star Wars it would be fine
That is what I don’t get you have a whole galaxy and infinite timeline to choose stories. But for some reason they all have to be tied to the skywalkers.
I’m fine with them just going into new territory regarding the timeline. I just don’t want to see shows rehashing events that have already been exhaustively covered.
I want to see the universe move forward, I’m sick of looking into the past.
Or if they have to stick with the Jedi then do bloody Nights Of The bloody Old bloody Republic bloody already. Seriously it’s like the one good Star wars story that still left to be told, and they just ignore it like it’s not there. There’s enough content there for right to go on for about 25 years.
The beauty is the actor simply has to play a disembodied hand…ergo, a hand job that feels like it’s from someone else. I call it The Stranger. I can feel the force tugging at me.
You could have a story where a mad scientist Sith goes around collecting them and then stitches them all together to create a force-sensitive limb-ball of terror
Only saw one other person mention it but in the EU/Legends they find Luke’s hand and use it to make an evil clone of Luke that’s named… Luuke. So this could’ve been a legit story with a meme headline lol.
Fanboys like to talk about the extended universe like it was amazing. For every one good thing in it, there were a dozen turds including a Jedi R2 unit with force powers. I’m glad Disney killed it, and just like I figured, they’re taking the good bits and characters and adding them in anyways
Do you mean Skippy the Jedi Droid? I think that was mostly a joke about R5-D4 from New Hope crapping out and forcing the Skywalkers to buy R2 instead (thereby leading to the end of the Sith). It’s pretty tongue in cheek, he’s called Skippy
Not enough upvotes on this post. EU was a sea of toxic filth with alarmingly small amount of competently written and good material in it, which once recognized as good had every other half rate writer trying to pin their next bad idea on it.

I remember running across a D6 dice rolling table for generating the plot of the next Kevin J. Anderson book when I was looking for West End Games SW tabletop supplemental (or fan-created) stuff on Geocities.
If the table had been juuuust a little more generic for things like “qualities possessed by big bad”, “motivations of antagonist”, “reason for melodramatic interlude”, and “type of mcguffin” it probably could have actually been used to generate future books.
Owing partially to LucasArts restrictions, a LOT of the EU was pretty derivative/formulaic but most of us didn’t care because it was MORE STAR WARS in an era that hadn’t seen any for 15+ years.
Thrawn wasn’t in the sequels at all tho, he only showed up in Rebels (which was definitely not taken seriously by Disney at all) and then after it was obvious ppl loved him they added him to more shows
If adding u make it evil does adding e make it good? So if we take luuke hand and make a good clone with it and name it luukee does it just becomes a regular luke because it has the same length of u and e?
Torn between two sides…becoming evilerer than before but there is still good in him. I mean, gooder than the original good in him. So he would need a u and an e to compensate for this evilerer and gooder on top of all that. Luuukee. Maybe? I sense a clone squad. But just of hands.
