	I just read the book 'The Making of Star Wars' by Rinzler. Fantastic and crazy revelations throughout. In the book there are so many revelations about the evolution of Star wars from the casting to the story and beyond. Some things I knew about, some I definitely did not. Luke as a girl? Starkiller as the main name changed only weeks before? Wookies on the planet Endor. Mark Hamill almost dismissed as Luke, Kurt Russell as Luke. R2 and CPO as people, the entire story made with little people? on and on. It's amazing how it all panned out, but what could have been? What is the one that really blows your mind that could have shaped Star Wars differently. -----signature----- I'd like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Lucas for deciding to have sex that night.

	If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit. (That's nothing compared to a thing with Jacen, Jaina, and Ben singing "What Would Anakin Solo Do?")

	I don't think Lucas knew what he had in the early stages of the story. I remember hearing rumors that Palpatine was initally a pawn of a greater conspriacy -----signature----- "That's all there is to life, just a little laugh... a little tear"- Lon Chaney

Also, Palpatine wasn't the only Emperor. The greater conspiracy? Darth Vader. Also, the novelization says that Obi-Wan couldn't hide the truth from Luke. Then he goes on to tell him the infamous lie.

	HellasLEAF-Jedi posted: Starkiller as the main name changed only weeks before? Actually the name wasn't changed until halfway through the shoot, I'd always heard that it was changed about a day or two before, but Rinzler confirms that they did start shooting the film with Mark Hamill as Luke Starkiller. Luke's full name is only used once - "I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you" - & they hadn't shot that scene by the time the name change occurred. The other might-have-been that's always seemed strange is that Obi-Wan was meant to survive the Death Star rescue & remain until the end of the film - again, something that wasn't changed until the shoot was well underway. Very hard to imagine the film without him dying. -----signature----- "First you must fill your head with wisdom. Then you can hit ice with it."

	George Lucas always keeps changing Star Wars, Plus he had to many scrpits after Return of the Jedi. Edit: I think he even might do a Special Edtion Prequel trilogy too. -----signature----- "Just when I thought I was out , they push me back in."

	I could deal with Kurt Russel as Luke. He's pretty badass.

	The novelization has Owen as Obi-Wan's brother. That would have been weird if they had kept that. -----signature----- Room 225, the Geriatric Ward Alternate ending to ROTS: "Chancellor, you're full of crap. This opera sucks. I'm going home to my wife."

	I know that there were a lot of things that could have been different, but some of them really would have distracted from the main plot points or send the plot in a whole different direction than what it turned out to be. -----signature----- Blue and yellow make a green lightsaber.

	black_saber posted: I know and he might even do a scene were Vader might say Yessssssssss just a joke. Don't forget if Anakin refers to "Natalie". Of course, Boba flirting with Jabba's dancers is, continuity-wise, the worst edit of the SE. What would be the worst in the prequels that you can imagine, continuity-wise?

	I know that Star wars could of been more then six movies but Like I said Lucas almost perfers the EU, Plus He had so many ideas for the first three Star Wars Movies. He even planned for a Two-set Sequel trilogy. But He Likes to make his world Smaller. -----signature----- "Just when I thought I was out , they push me back in."

	I would much rather Wookies be on Endor than Ewoks.
