Disney Just Bought Lucasfilm

A reboot of "Jedi". Done the way it should have been done. On Kashyyk. With wookies running around rippin' peoples arms out and shit, instead of those stupid fucking cute ewoks.

A jedi done right would have Darth Vader throwing Luke down the shaft.

Also, it's impossible for it to have happened on Kashyyyk in the first place. The wookies would never have let the Empire build a base on their world without the full capacity of the Death Star backing them. The Empire enslaved and abused "alien" races - you think arm-ripping wookies would put up with that shit?

Not the empire of the chicken walkers that can be defeated by a bunch of ewoks hurling stones.

But the Empire of the "Strikes Back" would have meshed every Wookie into the ground under the paws of AT-ATs.

Not the Empire that was held at bay by a bunch of snowspeeders.

Kashyyyk, if I recall correctly, was also a technological hub. No way they're getting away with that shit.

It wouldn't be the first time the Wookies have been enslaved you know. The Czerka corporation enslaved Wookies way before the Empire was even conceived....

Sorry, I'm getting my star wars geek on now.

* Darth Vader throws Emperor Palpatine Luke Skywalker down the shaft.
* Emperor gives Vader a high five.
* Roll credits.

I like it.

Not for long, no - which is part of why it would be epic.

The Empire blew up the shield generators and crawled all over the base the snow speeders tried to protect, miss.

Yeah, but obviously they were fighting back by the time those events came around, is what I'm saying - and people weren't standing for it either. That's how Chewie gained his life-debt to Han, right? So no way the Empire would have managed that shit. Not without the Death Star fully functioning.

I understand that - but long enough for the Rebels to escape. And AT-AT's won't do dick all in the forests of Kashyyyk except get stuck. Why do you think they moved to AT-ST's for more fighting on Endor?

Because they want cute little koala bears to win, and koala bears winning against AT-AT was too rediculous even for Lucas' rapidly liquifying gray matter?

I bet AT-AT would have just blasted every tree down to root level and used the few koala bears that limp out from under fallen branches for target practice.

The AT-AT's banked on strength - like a slow-moving tank. And fire-power. Bad in close-quarters.

The Empire constantly underestimated any race they felt was beneath their humanity. That's all I'm saying.
