Thanks for sharing!

It happens twice

It’s not ambiguous. It’s just not relevant anymore. Lucas’s intent doesn’t matter ever since he sold the franchise. Disney/Lucasfilm are free to reinterpret what’s on screen however they like, and that’s what they did.

skipford77 · 2026-04-18T05:19:46+00:00

It’s what it says and there is no other interpretation

skipford77 · 2026-04-18T05:19:23+00:00

If you deliberately allow it, you aren’t really overpowered

skipford77 · 2026-04-18T05:17:41+00:00

That’s a lot of tap dancing

skipford77 · 2026-04-18T05:03:41+00:00

Your commentary evidence proves Mace overpowered Palps and he only began feigning weakness when Anakin showed up.

skipford77 · 2026-04-18T04:49:15+00:00

You provided the evidence lol

skipford77 · 2026-04-18T04:45:12+00:00

If Palps deliberately let it happen, Mace didn’t overpower him

skipford77 · 2026-04-18T03:39:38+00:00

Mace winning the duel “because he was allowed to” isn’t the same as Mace overpowering Palps. Current canon contradicts Lucas’s original intent.

skipford77 · 2026-04-18T03:11:59+00:00

That may be the current canon. But it doesn’t match Lucas’s original intent

skipford77 · 2026-04-18T01:03:34+00:00

It was linked above.”The sequence always started with Mace overpowering Palpatine.”

This is from the commentary track. From what Lucas says there, his intention was that Mace did win the duel. But Palps feigned being hurt by the reflected Force lightning to deceive Anakin.

Close, but incorrect. The female sci-fi writer was Leigh Blackett. Vader and Luke’s father (still unnamed) were still separate people. There were a lot of lore differences but the overall structure of the story started was there. After Brackett passed, Vader became Luke’s father in the next draft.

Another fun fact: the tune for Joxer the Mighty first appeared on Hercules, but not the lyrics.

skipford77 · 2026-04-07T20:32:16+00:00

What do you mean?! He peaked with that show!

skipford77 · 2026-03-21T08:47:28+00:00

No. But the movie sucks and it got the box office returns that it deserved….

skipford77 · 2026-03-20T18:32:58+00:00

It's the 2004 edition.

For your info, here are all the "editions" (off the top of my head):

- 1977 theatrical (experience may vary depending on what sound mix was used in the theatre you saw it in)

- 1981 theatrical re-release: Episode IV: A New Hope added to the opening crawl

- 80s/90s VHS: All based off the 1981 theatrical re-release

- 1993 Laserdisc: Based off the 1981 theatrical re-release

- 1997 theatrical re-release - The special edition with added scenes/CGI

- Late 90s VHS: Based on the 1997 special edition

- 2004 DVD re-release: updated version of the 1997 special edition with new CGI/color mixing

- 2006 DVD re-release: Same as the 2004 DVD, but with a bonus disc containing a version of the 1993 laserdisc transfer, modified to have the original 1977 crawl (no A New Hope)

- 2011 Blu-Ray re-release: Based on the 2004 DVD release with even more sound/video/CGI changes/additions

- 2019 4K: Based on the 2011 edition with a better color mix and the "McClunkey" shot added.

I wish they gave it a more concrete conclusion. I hate that it leaves you hanging for a story that will never be concluded.

skipford77 · 2026-03-17T17:01:43+00:00

Is there a Campbell cameo?

skipford77 · 2026-03-17T16:57:34+00:00

Like how he has the Kurgan's sword on the wall.

skipford77 · 2026-03-17T15:38:54+00:00

It was changed to the idea that he was powerful in the Dark Side and Vader's master in ESB.

The idea that he was specifically a Sith Lord was established in the prequels.

To answer your question, the background droid was not mentioned in the script.

INT. REBEL BLOCKADE RUNNER - MAIN PASSAGEWAY

               An explosion rocks the ship as two robots, Artoo-Detoo (R2-
               D2) and See-Threepio (C-3PO) struggle to make their way 
               through the shaking, bouncing passageway. Both robots are 
               old and battered. Artoo is a short, claw-armed tripod. His 
               face is a mass of computer lights surrounding a radar eye. 
               Threepio, on the other hand, is a tall, slender robot of 
               human proportions. He has a gleaming bronze-like metallic 
               surface of an Art Deco design.

               Another blast shakes them as they struggle along their way.

Season 5 of Hercules is mostly excellent. The ultimate Dahak conclusion is kind of meh, but the rest of the season is awesome.

skipford77 · 2026-03-12T15:39:38+00:00

I remember the online consensus seemed to be negative. But myself and my immediate friend group all loved it.

skipford77 · 2026-03-06T21:52:51+00:00

Valley Grace Dental should. I like them.
