Episode 3

Before i start on about Episode 3, I thought I'd say a bit about AOTC. I've already seen it twice, and hope to again. There was one small bit that no-one seemed to notice; when we see Anakin slaughter the Tuskens, it cuts to Yoda. We then hear Qui Gon shout "Anakin, Anakin", which sounds like it was cut from TPM when he shouts "Anakin, Drop".

Anyway, I have really been thinking about Episode 3. Having loved all of the other movies, yes, even TPM, I can't wait for its release.
I was curious which time it would be set in though; there are 20 years between AOTC and ANH, and in ANH, Luke and Leia appeared to be 18(ish). This would mean that, if we are to see the birth of them, Episode 3 would need to be set only 2 years after AOTC.

Let me know what you think.

 

Apparently, Lucas has stated that there's a strong reason why we hear Qui-Gon yelling "Anakin" at that point, which will be explained in E3.

 

You are not alone, I heard that too
It's the scene where it cuts from the Tusken slaughter to Yoda, and what I "think" I heard was Qui Jonn saying : "Anakin, Anakin" and then "NOOOO" which I think was Anakin's voice.
This I think will be eluded too in Episode 3 because Yoda's reaction was something like "What this means..." or something.
It may even have some connection with Anakin's statement during the confession scene : "One day I will even learn how to stop people from dying"
Strange and interesting this mystery is

As for Episode 3...my guess it begins around 4 years after the events we see in AOTC.
As to whether Luke and Leia will already be born when the new film starts, I have no idea

 

here's one to mull over...
that geonosian thing gives DOOKU the death star plans which eventually 'fall' into the hands of the rebel alliance.
i think DOOKU has more than a hand in that sequence of events.
but hey,what do i know.

 

It is Qui Gon shouting. It says that in the book.

 

TPM was 32 years before ANH. AotC hence is 22 years before ANH. I think Luke/Leia were meant to be 16-17 in ANH (yeah I know they look old but go figure), so this puts EP3 about 5 years after AotC in my book...

 

GREAT SCOTT MARTY!!!

 

ep.III is set 2 years after AOTC.


Funny how only those who are mentors to The Chosen One (Qui-Gonn, Obi-Wan and Yoda) manage to come back after they die. It's as though the force is using them to guide him .

 

oooh, good theory COJ.

 

// writes down COJ's theory

// makes mental note to pass it off as own at later date

 

oooh, good theory COJ.

Like all the best ones...


...I stole it from someone else .

 

Arun has a theroy...

Do you think it's a remote possiblity that Anakin is even more of nut-job in episode 3

 

Of course he's a nut job, he turns into Vader!

 

No doubt with plenty of prodding from Palpatine...

 

Yeah COJ, wasn't it that fat guys theory?

I can't get away from Anakin's line about being powerful enough to stop people dying and the jedi reappearances after death.

The main problem is that he says this line `after' QGJ has called out from beyond the grave.

Oh well, in time honoured scientific tradition I shall simply manipulate the facts in order to get them to suit my theory.

 

Or it could refer to him somehow staying alive after being twatted by Obi-Wan in EP3...

 

a great theory I read from Chyren ages ago about episode 3 is that Vader hunts down Obi Wan and allows him to live. Giving him certain conditions and such. Kinda one final act of good from him.

I can't remember enough of the theory to do it justice but it involved Vader knowing about Luke and all sorts.

Twas pretty good.

 

Yeah, I heard that a while ago. It would fit in with Vader's "you should not have come back" line in ANH, and his apparently knowing Luke is his son.

 

nope, no final act of mercy. Otherwise Obi Wan would not believe he couldn't be turned back to the light side in ROTJ.

To allow a final act of mercy would imply that he was reedemable.

 

Is it actually confirmed that EP3 is taking place 2 years after EP2?

Cuz one of my theories is:

EP2 is 10 years after EP1. It takes 10 years to grow a full grown clone. If EP3 is set 5 years after EP2, all those half grown clones that we saw will be ready.

Also...that 3PO becomes R2s bitch!

LOL

 

i reckon it will be 2 years myself, mainly cos it will just be about the time that luke and leia are about to be born so he will know he is ment to be having a kid but he will turn before they are born so they can be hidden. This is why in ROTJ he doesn't know about lukes sister.

 

I've already explained above why I think it will be 5 years... though Cass' theory would also tie into it...

 

Here are my theories or what I would like to see.

Timeline is of no consequence to me, but i believe Padme will be heavily pregnant at the start of the movie.

The death of his mother may be enough for Anakin to vow never to return to Tatooine, but Anakin will return to Tatooine one final time where he do something that will cause Owen to seriously dislike him, I don't think killing the Tusken Raiders was really enough as everybody hates them, so why would he be afraid that Luke has to much of his fatehr in him. Something that Anakin is disgraced by like killing Lars Snr will happen and he will vow to never return. Allowing Ob-WAn to live there and of course Luke.

Mace Windu- 2 theories here, the first being that he is disintigrated by Bobba Fett, the second being that he turns to the Dark Side and is killed in the cave of the dark side on Dagobah by Yoda, perhaps he could be the Jedi who deletes files.

I would like to see Palpatine call the Jedi Council to his office, where he reveals himself to be Sidious and the Crimson Guard attack and display there sith powers, where only Yoda manages to escape.

I would also like to see a battle take place on the early stages of the Death Star (Which Commander Tarkin is overseeing), Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Dooku with the Emperor in tow, fighting it out. Count Dooku reveals that actually he set up Padmes death by having Aurra Sing wound her, allowing her to be captured, a battle ensues, with the Emperor telling Anakin to give in to his hate, Anakin sends Dooku in to a fiery grave, Obi-WAn tries to calm him down, but turns on him with the help of Palpatines Goading, obi-Wan pushes anakin into the same place as Dooku, collects Anakins fallen Lightsabre and heads for the hills. We see the Emperor use the force to lift somebodies charred remains from the fire.

Prior to this battle Padme had given birth to luke, which Anakin witnessed, but they were called away to the battle previously mentioned, Obi-Wan rushes in Padme shows him the second child. Obi-WAn explains that Anakin is dead (using his usual mistruths explains that it was Palpatine that caused it.) he says they must hide the children, Padme agrees, Obi-Wan takes Luke, leaving Padme with an irrepairable broken heart as she sets off to Alderran with Bail Organa.

And I won't even mention my Padme=Mon Mothma theory for fear of flaming.

 

Cripes...I never thought of that: Padmé = Mon Mothma.

Most probably pants but sounds good.

 

Do not believe that Obi-Wan did not actually believe Vader could be turned. He did (i Think....)

Luke though is a bit like his daddy - rebelious. Tell him Vader cannot be turned and, well, - he's gonna try and prove you wrong
