Man I was watching the OT this week and got REALLY pissed off at GL.

His presence in the force maybe... Yoda can see the future maybe palpy can meditate and forsee it too, seeing Luke is Anakins son. I think the point is to show that Palps is powerful in the force and can sense such things before his apprentice can.

Or maybe his spy network heard someome named Skywalker blew up the Death Star and put 2 and 2 together.


Vader suggesting he be trained suggests maybe he knew already too maybe. At some point pre ESB either Palpy or both Palpy and Vader learned Luke was Vaders son.

What bothers me about it is, that's a new scene, with new dialogue.

It was clear in the original scene that Palps DIDNT know, and it makes no sense that he would know before Anakin would....even if it was a sense thing.

It feels literally retconned to Make Palps know before Anakin....what a dumb thing.

"Lucas Film was known to be protective of their brand. We were the ones to say: "No, sorry that doesn't fit in to our plan."

Where are these people now?

Also that title is a bit of a misnomer, the show wasn't "abandoned" it was never even picked up.
And really a show and story content fueled by Kenner, just so they could on the cheap repurpose some already existing molds;
Wasn't Mongo infamously just Squidface's head, oddly rotated and flipped then new eyes just aded.
And those droid ideas? Where have I seen? Oh, apologies if you bought into...

Though honestly this is the kind of banal "creativity" repurposing much of the Expanded U, now Disney and the FavroniVerse are built on.
" Tarkin survived" back then, is no different than Maul survived, and somehow Palpatine retuned today.

Didn't that "Atha Prime" concept also reemerge repurposed as an expanded U Imperial guard?

Or Beefhead with Squid Head's head turned upwards.

Cause they celebrate Life Day, which he likely already missed, so either way he's in trouble. And Chewie, Mala, Stumpy and Grumpy are all mad at him too

Seems reasonable for an 8-year old.

Why Luke's name wasn't Luke Lars is beyond me.

A decision made by the guy who hid his jedi identity by wearing the jedi robes "uniform"* every single day while still going by his original name.

Hiding in plain sight while waving arms seems to have been the plan on both the robes and names fronts.

(* Even if at the time of ANH and ESB those robes had not yet been retconned as a jedi "uniform.")

retconning the robes as jedi uniform was one of the dumbest decisions ever.

I never really noticed this , but the new Emperor Skype call scene is terrible...

I think it's cannon breaking also??

It seems that Palps KNOWS Luke is Vader son before Vader does? WTF is that? He actually says "you know this to be true"

How the hell does Palps know Luke is Anakins son???

Especially before Anakin does??

Vader knew about Anakin before Palpatine. At the beginning of Empire after they sent out the probes, he says "That's the system and I'm sure Skywalker is with them"

During the Emperor scene Vader plays coy and pretends he didn't know. He's planning to team up with Luke and take Palpatine down after all.

Excellent , that's it.

Lots of characters in SW pretending to not know what you're talking about...

Thank god this never saw the light.

Marvel (for all the silly stuff they put out) had still imagined it different, and made Kenobi a Jedi Knight badass (well expect for the white boots) - https://www.collectorfreaks.com/thr...iscussion-thread.245332/page-71#post-11036144

Skin-tight navy velour and white boots? No thanks.
