George Lucas On: The Sequel Trilogy

George Lucas on: The Sequel Trilogy

After the Rebels won, there were no more stormtroopers in my version of the third trilogy. (…) Episode VII, VIII, and IX would take ideas from what happened after the Iraq War. “Okay, you fought the war, you killed everybody, now what are you going to do?” Rebuilding afterwards is harder than starting a rebellion or fighting the war. When you win the war and you disband the opposing army, what do they do? The stormtroopers would be like Saddam Hussein’s Ba'athist fighters that joined ISIS and kept on fighting. The stormtroopers refuse to give up when the Republic win. They want to be stormtroopers forever, so they go to a far corner of the galaxy, start their own country and their own rebellion. There’s a power vacuum so gangsters, like the Hutts, are taking advantage of the situation, and there is chaos. The key person is Darth Maul, who had been resurrected in The Clone Wars cartoons — he brings all the gangs together. (…) Darth Maul trained a girl, Darth Talon, who was in the comic books, as his apprentice. She was the new Darth Vader, and most of the action was with her. So these were the two main villains of the trilogy. Maul eventually becomes the godfather of crime in the universe because, as the Empire falls, he takes over. The movies are about how Leia — I mean, who else is going to be the leader? — is trying to build the Republic. They still have the apparatus of the Republic but they have to get it under control from the gangsters. That was the main story. It starts out a few years after Return of the Jedi and we establish pretty quickly that there’s this underworld, there are these offshoot stormtroopers who started their own planets, and that Luke is trying to restart the Jedi. He puts the word out, so out of 100,000 Jedi, maybe 50 or 100 are left. The Jedi have to grow again from scratch, so Luke has to find two- and three-year-olds, and train them. It’ll be 20 years before you have a new generation of Jedi. By the end of the trilogy Luke would have rebuilt much of the Jedi, and we would have the renewal of the New Republic, with Leia, Senator Organa, becoming the Supreme Chancellor in charge of everything.

I’m literally about to cry because I thought of one of the saddest things I can imagine happening in The Mandalorian season 3 or beyond.

So we know that Kylo Ren destroyed Luke’s Jedi temple on Ahch-To, killing all but a few of Luke’s students (that were killed shortly after). With this in mind, Grogu probably didn’t survive the slaughter.

When Din let Luke take Grogu to be trained, Luke told Din that “I will give my life to protect the child, but he will not be safe until he masters his abilities.”

Evidently, that didn’t happen. Luke was trapped under rubble from when Kylo dropped a hut on him. When he pulled himself from the wreckage, the temple was already burning to the ground and the padawans were dead.

Luke was probably unable to protect Grogu. Imagine Luke having to tell Din that he was unable to protect Grogu and he was killed at the hands of another student.

If Din was still the owner of the Darksaber ~17 years later, wouldnt it be really heartbreaking of Jon Favereau to have Din hunt Kylo down and duel him, only for Kylo to win and kill him.

I gotta draw this or something...😭

So in the Rebels finale, Dave Filoni made it canon that Rex fought in the Battle of Endor and was in Return of the Jedi in the epilogue when Sabine said that “Hera fought in the Battle of Endor, as did Commander Rex.”

With this in mind, I just wanna walk through the “last” time we saw Rex in the timeline.

Han baits this scout trooper and corners him

Rex is around the corner in his rebel gear

Rex puts the scout trooper’s armor on (probably to be undercover if needed)

The imperials have the rebels surrounded and the rebels surrender (Rex is still wearing the scout trooper armor)

Then the Ewoks ambush the imperials and kill them

HOW DID THE EWOKS KNOW NOT TO HURT REX?? HE WAS WEARING THEIR ARMOR. SABINE SAID HE FOUGHT IN THE BATTLE OF ENDOR BUT SHE DIDNT SAY HE SURVIVED

WAS REX KILLED BY THE EWOK’S FRIENDLY FIRE?? I NEED ANSWERS DAVE/JON!!
