GAR Dead Films - Universe and Timeline

[Deadman_Deluxe]

The Retcon stuff is too much complicated to be fully grasped in the eye of the average viewer. That's damn true! : No it isn't ... it's just pure rubbish!!!!!!

Man I was just proposing. I firmly believe in the Stretch, repeat.

Man I was just proposing. I firmly believe in the Stretch, repeat. I'm not saying you don't. Nobody is.

Sorry I'm late to the party but I most emphatically say "same universe, same timeline" The stories themselves are what settles this. Not so much the aesthetics or set dressings. Those are means to an end and using what you have is the nature of low budget filmmaking.

gah!, what is with this multidimensional stuff thats like saying return of the jedi was in a parrelel dimension to a new hope just becuase the title and story was different and it was a sequel.

[EvilNed]

gah!, what is with this multidimensional stuff thats like saying return of the jedi was in a parrelel dimension to a new hope just becuase the title and story was different and it was a sequel. Oh. Except that Return of the Jedi had the same characters. And same world. And required you to have watched the previous Star Wars films. But other than that, yeah, EXACTLY the same thing!

[The Alive Man]

RETURN OF THE JEDI was juvenile, and PHANTOM MENACE was even worse, so yes, both the movies happened into a universe alternative to the one the other four SW movies were set in.

Haha, you got that right. Infact, the entire Prequel Trilogy took place in an Alternate universe where Star Wars had suddenly become something dull and uninteresting.

Haha, you got that right. Infact, the entire Prequel Trilogy took place in an Alternate universe where Star Wars had suddenly become something dull and uninteresting. I thought Episode III was pretty good but the continuity between III and IV seems flawed to me. It just doesn't add up.

[The Alive Man]

Knutboy, You're right, of course. Leia said she remembered "about" her natural mother in JEDI, but she never actually met her as a child according to EPIII... she was just a new-born when it happened. EPISODE III is one hell of a movie, and maybe even better than EMPIRE (!!!), but you're damn right.

Haha, you got that right. Infact, the entire Prequel Trilogy took place in an Alternate universe where Star Wars had suddenly become something dull and uninteresting. Well I am a little lost on how a thread on the romero movies became a thread on star wars... I think the whole prequel series sucked. It did not measure up to the first three. I usually like CGI but in this case it ruined the whole story. It does seem that the prequel is in another universe than the first origional 3 but I do not think that is what Lucas intended it to be. What I feel ruined the series is how he went back to the origional three Star Wars and altered them and changed the ending completely to Return of the Jedi so it would blend in more to the prequel. If the prequels were made more to the stile of how the first three were made then the 6 movies together would make a lot more sence. Knutboy, You're right, of course. Leia said she remembered "about" her natural mother in JEDI, but she never actually met her as a child according to EPIII... she was just a new-born when it happened. EPISODE III is one hell of a movie, and maybe even better than EMPIRE (!!!), but you're damn right. Ya you right. I think Leia did talk a little about of what she remembered of her mother but in the latest movie he mother died giving birth? Or am I remembering it incorrectly? Ya. I liked Episode III compared to the other sucky prequel.

[capncnut]

Leia said she remembered "about" her natural mother in JEDI, but she never actually met her as a child according to EPIII... she was just a new-born when it happened. Not only that but what about Luke's adopted parents? When he was handed to them as a baby in III they were in their early twenties, but in IV they are both in their sixties? EPISODE III is one hell of a movie, and maybe even better than EMPIRE (!!!) Now that's just crazy talk!
