I'm sure I read one story where Luke Skywalker finally turns to the dark side, and the new 'chosen one' turns out to be the son of Leia and Han Solo - cue a final fight scene between them remeniscent of Luke vs Vader.

That's about it.

Luke forms a Jedi academy but eventually gets turned to the Dark Side for a while.

Han and Leia have kids (who are Jedi - or will be when they grow up).

There's loads more (Wookies used for slave labour etc) but it's been a while since I read the books.

Aw man - i saw it tonight and well - i was left feeling dissapointed. I thought it was poor TBH.

The bit with Darth at the end shouting NOOOOO! was so hammy as to spoil the illusion that he's a bad ass mofo.

And padme dying because she's lost the will to live - give me a break - shes just had two kids and is convinced that there is still good in him.

I dunno - not good.

Younglings? Pfff..

I managed to take my 8 yr old, but it was a kind of sad ending and Hayden's acting wasnt much cop, so I left kinda disapointed.

Thought using Padme's death as a reason for Anakin turning to the dark side was contrived. Luke asks Leia about her mother and she says she remembers she was very beautiful but sad. So Padme can't have died in childbirth otherwise Leia would have no recollection of her. I don't think anything will beat the original trilogy but then I'm old enough to remember going to see them at the cinema from 1977 onwards so I'm probably biased - but I don't care!

Nugget · 23-05-2005, 15:08

But maybe because Leia has latent Jedi powers, she could remember further back

Oh, and

by the way

Mal · 23-05-2005, 15:12

When Leia said that, was it before or after she found out that they were related? I can't remember. Maybe Leia meant her adopted mother.

Pumpkin · 23-05-2005, 15:18

What - remember from when she was an embryo!

This doesn't satisfy me (ooh erh!)

And thank you for the welcome

Leia said it during the conversation she had with Luke just before he told her she was his sister and he does specifically ask her about her real mother not adoptive one.

(I know too much about these films!)

Leia was probably confused - she had been spending time with the Ewoks, so she'd probably say anything to get out of there

Pumpkin · 23-05-2005, 15:30

But everyone loves Ewoks!

Spending time with the cute, furry fellas probably crystalised in her mind her soppy love feelings for her real mum not taint or confuse them and she definately remembers her mum!!!

Anyone else get the feeling we have a potential prolific poster in the making here??

The Force (of silliness) is strong in that one....he shall be sent away to continue his training under the guidance of Nugget

Hmmmm, about time I took on a Padawan and passed on my knowledge

Mind you, doesn't like I can teach pumpkin much - silliness and Star Wars knowledge? Might have a run for my money here

Pumpkin · 23-05-2005, 15:50

Don't I have a say in this?

Maybe I'm a Sith looking for an apprentice and I though a discussion forum about Star Wars would provide rich pickings - lots of young men with malleable minds - so I can use my superior mind powers!

etccarmageddon · 23-05-2005, 15:51

keep him/her away from the Dark one - Darth Nemesisus.

It's not the malleable minds that you've got to look out for!

*ahem*
