If Darth Vader being Luke's father isn't a retcon then why in A New Hope does Garven Dreis tell Luke that he knew Luke's dad and that he's a hell of a pilot?

I just wish that George Lucas was honest and said hey, I wrote this thing, then I decided to tack on more story to it and that would be great instead of pretending he's JRR Tolkien or whatever

@gayhobbes George Lucas and JK Rowling are both god tier terrible and I hate that they’re both unimaginably wealthy Bc fans just want content

@Mosie to Lucas' tiny credit, he did get affordable housing on his property to fuck with his wealthy neighbors and he does seem to genuinely care about issues impacting the Black community but that could just be because his wife is and makes him be decent

@skrrt_vonnegut @Secondary_world Lovecraft at least recanted some of his racism later on

@skrrt_vonnegut @Secondary_world I would super duper recommend reading Alan Moore's The Courtyard, then the Neonomicon, then Providence. It's a great retelling of the Lovecraft canon

@Secondary_world @Mosie which is why the prequels suck because no one checked or questioned him, not like Harrison Ford or his wife did

@gayhobbes @Secondary_world the prequels are like a window into the mind of a mad king. And the way he mutilated the original movies and basically made it so they can’t be restored ON PURPOSE is astounding

@MosieAs a writer Lucas stumbled onto one good character, Han Solo and hung everything off that. He should thank Harrison Ford for every penny he ever made. @gayhobbes

@gayhobbes @Secondary_world I think so? Last I heard it was an unofficial effort by fans. Has that changed? but Lucas also threw away the original reels so that no one could ever fuck w what he considered his “true” vision. What an asshole lol.

@rotatingskull @gayhobbes The writing gives too much away; you can square it if you have to because its somewhat ambiguous but there's no way the original intention for Obi Wan was to be talking about how "the dark side version of your dad killed the light side version I guess I dunno lol"

@gayhobbes @Secondary_world the way she told the story of why he wouldn’t let her wear a bra in the first film, which is why her tits bounce around everywhere while she’s trying to save her own life and others’ on a mission to save the galaxy, is incredible. “He said because they don’t wear bras in space. He was so sure of himself”
