R2 and 3PO also existed in Indiana Jones.

Please nobody bring up the Indiana Jones is Han's fever dream while frozen in carbonite theory.

does earth exist in the star wars cannon?

'A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away....' sort of connotes that on its own, doesn't it?

How about was ET a Jedi Padawan? ET could make stuff fly, heal, mind control. I would not go full out Jedi as ET was not real good at all of those things, and seemed a bit... childish at times, but potentially a youngling type.

The novelization of E.T. claims he's like millions of Earth years old, but still a juvenile of his species.

I recently found out that there is an ET book sequel that I discovered in the library. It's strange

There's a running theory out there that pretty much all Lucas movies take place in the same universe. Everything from SW, to THX, to American Graffiti, to frickin' Willow.

Source of the post Read the Journal of the Whills

from the little I have read about this, it's pretty interesting. Did that come to light with TFA?

Red Tails too?

The Force is an evolution of what Lucas first called 'the Whills' in his early drafts. He then changed the Whills to be a sort of galactic record keeping race of beings that observed life around the galaxy and documented it. (Think the Q in Star Trek TNG, sort of) The idea was that SW was to be sort of narrated by them. That idea was eventually scrapped, but Lucas retained the storybook 'a long time ago' opening.

The Guardians of the Whills were the beings that were their protectors. To my knowledge, Chirrut and Baze in RO are the first cinematic references to the Whills.

I would imagine, since American Graffiti and Indy are included.

It is, in all honestly, one of the most ridiculous fans theories I've ever devoted any time reading.

a live action tv show exploring the mythos around the guardians would be boss.

I'm actually sort of hoping this is the overarching story for the new Rian Johnson trilogy.

Postby **nocera** » Fri Nov 17, 2017 2:12 pm

Is there any word on potential focus for the live-action series? All I've heard is that it will be on Disney's streaming service, which should cost "substantially" less than Netflix.

Postby **columbia** » Fri Nov 17, 2017 2:13 pm

They could call it Guardians of the Galaxy

Rian Johnson confirms that The Last Jedi runtime is 2hr 30m (credits included) making it the longest Star Wars film of the franchise.

Poor Attack of the Clones.

I am going to be at the start of our trip to southeast Asia when the movie comes out. Going to have to try and avoid spoilers for two flippin' weeks.

Just buy a copy of the movie on the streets of Hue.

We'll actually be in Singapore. Which means I'll get to see it a good seven hours ahead of Gaucho, and more than 12 hours before yinz.
