An interesting factor when you think about how Maul’s story ended is that even though he never met Luke, he believed he was the Chosen One (with Obi-Wan telling him so, likely as a means of giving Maul a sense of closure), with Maul believing that Luke would avenge everyone who suffered at Sidious’ hands. But if Luke and Maul had actually met each other, what do you imagine their interaction might look like? Because I feel like depending on what point in the Original Trilogy you’re talking, Maul might have some very different reactions.

Idk if this is a repost, but I'm re-watching Rebels and I think the most interesting way they could've brought back the Emperor in TROS would've been the WBW. I feel like it would've brought up many more interesting plot points and characters to the story overall.

1. Logically, it would've made sense that between the 5 years between Rebels and Episode 6, Palpatine would've found another portal, and would've claimed it. He would then use it after 6 to begin plundering the timeline of characters and technology, to rebuild a new Empire, one stronger and more loyal to him. He would do this over changing the past, as the WBW would show him a vision of him winning and ruling the galaxy once again with his fleet from Exegol.

2. They could've brought back other important characters throughout the series. Characters loyal to the emperor like Tarkin could've re-appeared, creating an even more powerful threat than just a fleet of mini-death Stars.

3. The Resistance could also then use that same portal, to gather strong allies, who's deaths would've been ambiguous across the timeline. Theoretically, it could've also brought back Luke from the dead, and replaces his scene on Ahch-To with Yoda, explaining how the Emperor lived, and that Rey could save others like Chewbacca, who's deaths could not have happened.

Now I'm sure there are advantages and disadvantages to this. First of all, this can create a more interesting story for Rey. Rey started as a nobody, and frankly, should've stayed that way. It could've shown, along with Sabine in Ahsoka, that anyone can be a Jedi, they simply need to open themselves to the force. Second of all, the fight on the Death Star, could've happened inside the WBW, and a doorway would've been what changed Kylo's perspective, when he saw a vision of how much his father and mother cared for him.

The only real problem with this idea is it's recency to when the movie was written. It was probably written at the same time, or shortly after this episode came out. The World Between Worlds was such a new concept, it would've been hard to be able to write a compelling story like that with such a new and mysterious concept.

Now I'm going to explain one way the movie could go that changes as little of the story as possible:

Using the changes made in point 3, along with an appearance from Hayden Christensen's ghost Anakin at the end of the movie. Rey, Ben Solo, Luke, and Anakin all defeating the Emperor. That would've kept Anakin's destiny as the chosen one to bring balance, along with his legacy that his son and daughter created. Rey's devotion and bravery, would've helped her feel at home with the Skywalkers, accepting the last name, creating Rey Skywalker. Finally, the ending scene would be the same with Rey burying Leia's lightsaber on Tatooine, but now with Ben, and Luke at her side, as a final goodbye to Leia and Carrie Fisher.

Hey, a bit of a weird one but I picked up (what I think is) this cool picture at Star Wars secret cinema way back in 2015. Only thing is, I can’t figure out what/where the bottom right picture is? The others I know.

Any ideas?

Today I completed my 100% custom cover movie and TV show Blu-ray collection. I wanted to do this because the official releases are extremely inconsistent from case to case (even within the same show!), and look really bad when all together like this. Mine aren’t perfect either (finding consistent covers for all seven seasons of The Clone Wars is difficult) but I’ll get them eventually.

The only viewable media I haven’t included in this collection are the shorts, such as the 3 minute shorts that came out with the Young Jedi Adventures show. I may add these in the future but I don’t think they add much canon value, and it would be quite the waste of a disc.

They are currently in chronological order (up to a per season granularity), but that’s not perfect because some shows jump around the timeline from episode to episode. For the Tales shows specifically, I’ve placed them after their last timeline appearance, so Tales of the Empire is right after Return of the Jedi, once the empire has fallen.

I should also mention that some of these shows don’t even have official Blu-ray releases (such as Resistance), so for those I have custom discs. Another road block for my collection is I need Traditional Chinese subs on my discs for my wife to read, but some of the shows don’t have Blu-ray releases for the Traditional Chinese market, so for those I ripped the international disc to my PC, added the subtitles and re-burnt them to a fresh disc.

Also, these covers weren’t made by me, I found them all online. I printed them on my cheap Epson L3550 printer, and cut them out with a metal ruler and an X-Acto knife.

EDIT: The Acolyte should actually be after Young Jedi Adventures, I misplaced it when moving to this rack. Upon the recommendation of others, I’ve also moved Skeleton Crew to after Ashoka, Resistance season 1 to before The Force Awakens, and Andor season 2 to after all of Rebels.

Is it worth it to digitize these Movies recorded off cable TV from the 80’s
Return of the Jedi and The Empire Strikes back may have been recorded from HBO or a network broadcast. I am not sure of Star Wars Empire of Dreams. I also have several Dune Recordings from the Sci-Fi channel. I can digitize them for $9 each. Is there anything here. Is there anything unique that I couldn’t buy on disc?
