And now we have to watch the Original trilogy’s with the new context of Leia always having known Obi-Wan Kenobi.
I don’t think that’s possible.
So in ESB, Obi-Wan just forgets does he.
Yoda has to tell him ‘There is another’
I’m sure that scene is cut short, and Yoda carries on the dialog
Yoda- ‘No, There is another…’
Ben - ‘Who?’
Yoda -‘For the love of Windu, The Sister dammit!! You know, the one you rescued when she was kidnapped as a kid!!… Twice no less!!’
Ben - ‘oh yes, well from a certain po..’
Yoda - ‘oh do Shut up mmm?!’

Disney canon and my canon are very different.
My canon:

Zahn trilogy
Everything else is non canon for me.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeh, that looks about right…
I mean, I could fit Force Awakens, and end it on wise man Luke.
And then i can believe anything i want after that…
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah I can only imagine what a great place Star Wars would be in right now if we got the Thrawn/Zahn trilogy instead of what we got.
Ok they'd have had to recast Luke, Leia and Han to do it but I think the fans would have been on board with that.
Not giving us more prime Luke, Han and Leia was Disney's first mistake as that's what fans wanted. Or at least do older Luke, Leia and Han properly if they had to go down the route they did.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In hindsight, I am glad they didn't do the Zahn trilogy. They would have found a way to mess it up. Mara Jade would have been a lesbian and Thrawn would have been in love with Luke.

Yeah I hear ya man, we really love south and central America and I would go in a heartbeat to mix it up a little. We have no children so it is easy enough. Buenos Aires was our fave. Sao Paolo was a beast, remember going up to this bar/restaurant with a singer overlooking the city, madness how big that place is. Fair play to you man, only live once, may as well make it as interesting as possible. Is it expensive or not particularly?

I found Buenos Aires a bit of a disappointment personally. It was fine and I liked it, but before going it probably would have been in my top 5 cities to visit and it was all a bit, well, fine.
I was similar with San Francisco. Think I might build my expectations up a little too high
Ha yeah, we went to San Fran last year after many years and I really don't get the fuss. Buenos Aires was very European but we liked it, she of course being a yank did so a lot. Went to see Boca so that may have swung it for me
What is this An Episode of An Idiot Abroad!!
We in a middle of a crisis here!! We’re losing another legacy character in Obi-Wan!! Priority’s people!!
Vs Europe cost of living is super cheap, some things are expensive but if you earn in dollar it offsets it nicely and now I'll be able to do the Europe/US trips to grab the expensive things (phones/cameras etc etc) but food and entertainment super cheap. And I consider Brazil/Argentina/Uruguay the best for meat in the world and the price you can get it for here even here in "expensive" São Paulo it's considerably cheaper and better quality more or less anywhere else in the world. Sao Paulo is a great city for work/culture/entertainment/food but generally sucks for travel - usually tell my friends to meet me in Rio or somewhere further up the country

Yeah. They all are. Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, Threepio, R2, Lando, Ackbar,

I'd highly recommend reading the Zahn trilogy. It's basically a sequel story to the originals but done well. All the characters are in there and it expands the universe and characters brilliantly. It also introduces some new and interesting characters.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've read them and I enjoyed them a lot, I was just having a blank on whether that trilogy was the one that had Luke vs Luuke or if that was another book
Not giving us more prime Luke, Han and Leia was Disney's first mistake as that's what fans wanted. Or at least do older Luke, Leia and Han properly if they had to go down the route they did.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
See Iv always been a bit apprehensive of having a prime luke film..... he is basically a god, he is so OP it would be difficult to build that tension. I mean who is gonna trouble prime Luke really? I kinda prefer getting glimpses of him appearing now and then, like in the Mandalorian. Luke would wipe the floor with most armies let alone foe's.
the superman effect if you will.

One way they could have gone with it is to delve into Luke's battle with the dark side. This is all hinted at throughout the original trilogy and Luke has to tap into the dark side to beat Vader in ROTJ. He doesn't beat him with light side, it's all rage and negativity.
They could even have made Luke fully turn to the dark side like Anakin did so that he needs to be saved by his family.
Instead of what we got in the Disney trilogy wouldn't it have been way more interesting to make Luke the villain of the trilogy? Mark Hamill would have been perfect for that, we know he does villainy great based on Joker.

The Zahn trilogy done it.
They made Luke powerful but not OP, which made his battles against Thrawn,his clone, C'Baoth.

I personally wouldn't like to see Luke turn to the darkside, as it doesn't fit his arc.
That's what makes him different to Anakin. He was able to defy the Emperors attempts at turning him and in doing so, he managed to bring Vader back to the light. If the Emperor could not turn Luke, nobody can. There are some Jedi that cannot be turned, like Obi Wan, Yoda etc.
The Mara Jade angle worked better. The sequels dropped the ball on this. Luke would never try to kill Kylo, he would have given his own life to turn Kylo to the light, that's who Luke is and that's where he shines.
In terms of power set, whilst Luke is incredibly strong in the force, he lived during a period of minimal jedi vs sith combat, so his battle skills would not rival someone like Anakin or Obi Wan or even Mace. Those guys were seasoned and their saber and fighting skills were honed during the brutal and long clone war.

He would need one against powerful sith.
There is no way he is taking Maul,Dooku or even Palpatine without a saber.
In the Zahn trilogy, he uses the force but it also fatigues him when he over does it.
A prime Luke after ROTJ does not beat a prime Palpatine,Windu,Yoda.

Vs Europe cost of living is super cheap, some things are expensive but if you earn in dollar it offsets it nicely and now I'll be able to do the Europe/US trips to grab the expensive things (phones/cameras etc etc) but food and entertainment super cheap. And I consider Brazil/Argentina/Uruguay the best for meat in the world and the price you can get it for here even here in "expensive" São Paulo it's considerably cheaper and better quality more or less anywhere else in the world. Sao Paulo is a great city for work/culture/entertainment/food but generally sucks for travel - usually tell my friends to meet me in Rio or somewhere further up the country

Yeah it's that Bill Hader scared and horny meme
Also, is Luuke in the thrawn trilogy?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah. They all are. Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, Threepio, R2, Lando, Ackbar,

I'd highly recommend reading the Zahn trilogy. It's basically a sequel story to the originals but done well. All the characters are in there and it expands the universe and characters brilliantly. It also introduces some new and interesting characters.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've read them and I enjoyed them a lot, I was just having a blank on whether that trilogy was the one that had Luke vs Luuke or if that was another book

Not giving us more prime Luke, Han and Leia was Disney's first mistake as that's what fans wanted. Or at least do older Luke, Leia and Han properly if they had to go down the route they did.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
See Iv always been a bit apprehensive of having a prime luke film..... he is basically a god, he is so OP it would be difficult to build that tension. I mean who is gonna trouble prime Luke really? I kinda prefer getting glimpses of him appearing now and then, like in the Mandalorian. Luke would wipe the floor with most armies let alone foe's.
the superman effect if you will.

One way they could have gone with it is to delve into Luke's battle with the dark side. This is all hinted at throughout the original trilogy and Luke has to tap into the dark side to beat Vader in ROTJ. He doesn't beat him with light side, it's all rage and negativity.
They could even have made Luke fully turn to the dark side like Anakin did so that he needs to be saved by his family.
Instead of what we got in the Disney trilogy wouldn't it have been way more interesting to make Luke the villain of the trilogy? Mark Hamill would have been perfect for that, we know he does villainy great based on Joker.

The Zahn trilogy done it.
They made Luke powerful but not OP, which made his battles against Thrawn,his clone, C'Baoth.

I personally wouldn't like to see Luke turn to the darkside, as it doesn't fit his arc.
That's what makes him different to Anakin. He was able to defy the Emperors attempts at turning him and in doing so, he managed to bring Vader back to the light. If the Emperor could not turn Luke, nobody can. There are some Jedi that cannot be turned, like Obi Wan, Yoda etc.
The Mara Jade angle worked better. The sequels dropped the ball on this. Luke would never try to kill Kylo, he would have given his own life to turn Kylo to the light, that's who Luke is and that's where he shines.

In terms of power set, whilst Luke is incredibly strong in the force, he lived during a period of minimal jedi vs sith combat, so his battle skills would not rival someone like Anakin or Obi Wan or even Mace. Those guys were seasoned and their saber and fighting skills were honed during the brutal and long clone war.

I think Luke is off a level that he wouldnt even require a light sabre !!

He would need one against powerful sith.
There is no way he is taking Maul,Dooku or even Palpatine without a saber.
In the Zahn trilogy, he uses the force but it also fatigues him when he over does it.

what makes you say that? from the creators mouth Mr Lucas said Luke is the most powerful jedi ever.
