Writer of the Clone Wars, Mr Gilroy, has revealed that Grievous was actually supposed to be Maul in disguise (somewhat) in Revenge of the Sith.

Imagine Obi-Wan goes to Utapau to fight Grievous and Maul takes his helmet off to reveal himself...at last...to the Jedi.

This changes Anakin for me. I love that George added this Jul 30, 2023

Show notes

Something as small detailed as Anakin having long hair in Revenge of the Sith goes far beyond just looks. George Lucas wanted him to look like Qui-Gon Jinn, like the father figure he was supposed to have. I love this. It adds so much more to just Anakin whenever we see him next.

George Lucas on Yoda Using Luke's Lightsaber in Original Script Jul 30, 2023

Show notes

Another awesome excerpt from Paul Duncan's The Star Wars Archives book. In this episode, I want to give my thoughts on this snippet where George Lucas talks about Yoda taking Luke's lightsaber to fight a monster on Dagobah in The Empire Strikes Back. I think this would have been pretty cool to see, and it would have shown us that Yoda still has it.

George Lucas Explains Vader's Death with Luke "Help Me Take This Mask Off" Jul 30, 2023

Show notes

In star wars return of the Jedi, we had the climactic conclusion of Anakin Skywalker and George Lucas star wars saga as we know it. The completion of the chosen one prophecy ended with Vader dying and Anakin being released into the force. The selfless sacrifice of Luke Skywalker catalyzed Anakin's return to save his son, overthrow the Emperor, and bring 'balance' to the force. The scene always makes me emotional (no surprise), so I find it awesome to read George Lucas' thoughts on that scene as he wrote it.

Info comes from Paul Duncan's The Star Wars Archives book OT.

Why Leia Would Make a TERRIBLE Jedi Jul 30, 2023

Show notes

In the Star Wars Archives book by Paul Duncan, there's a quote from Carrie Fisher where she talks about her view of Leia and how Leia has anger when dealing with situations. I believe Leia would have been more powerful than Luke Skywalker had she trained, but I don't think she would have been as calm and collected so easily. I think she would need to train with Yoda really hard before fully being able to control her anger and emotions. I feel the Skywalker bloodline in her would get out of hand and if she didn't have a hold on it, could lead her down a path Luke can't follow.
