Ten HUGE Star Wars Retcons 

Yeah I love that.

i really love that one

Im pretty sure I heard somewhere that wasn't rex, but it may have been someone who was debating it and chose to say it wasn't and that rex was just doing something else at the battle of endor.

Brendon Ghrist he was a different guy in legends but I think Dave filoni said that it was him tho

@@indiana157 If Dave says it, its cannon imo. Dude is basically carrying the franchise on his back rn

Owen wasn't burned alive by stormtroopers, everyone knows that. C'mon

Haven't you seen troops? It was a total accident.

Gary did it

Gary accidentally burnt down the Lars homestead when he set the bathroom on fire.

Harsh 🤣

Was that actually a retcon or just an assumption? I know Obi-Wan called him, “Darth,” but I always just assumed that was like calling someone, “Captain,” or something.

Matthew Thomason It was definitely intended as a name, because in early drafts a different sort of character had the same name.

Matthew Thomason pretty sure it was considering Vader wasn’t Luke’s father originally

He was taken as an apprentice by Palpatine/Sidious, and was given the title "Darth". According to Wookiepedia (not sure how accurate) The character of Darth Vader was not originally planned to be a suited cyborg. In the original scripts for A New Hope, the name "Darth Vader" was given to a normal Imperial general. The concept of a cybernetic Vader was created when the concept artist drew the opening scene where Tantive IV was being boarded. It was initially imagined that Darth Vader would fly through space to enter the ship, necessitating a suit and breathing mask. This suit was later made permanent and incorporated in the story. Vader's usage of an all black uniform, alongside his devotion to Emperor Palpatine, was also intended to be an analogy to the Schutzstaffel (SS) in Nazi Germany. While the commitment to reveal the villainous Darth Vader as Luke's father was officially made in the second draft of The Empire Strikes Back, elements of a Darth-Vader-like character being Luke's father were present in the very first drafts of the first film's screenplay, back when it was going to be called The Star Wars. From the Wookieepedia entry for Kane Starkiller (father of Annikin Starkiller, the character who would later be renamed Luke Skywalker): By the second draft, he becomes known simply as "The Starkiller" and he is the father of Luke Starkiller; he survives to the end of that version and is not a cyborg. In another story synopsis, he is deleted and replaced by a crazy old man encountered on the road. The notion that Luke's father was a cyborg was incorporated into the story of Darth Vader. Coincidentally, Kane's cyborg body had a chest plate on his torso that resembled a similar chest plate on Vader's life-support armor. starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Kane_Starkiller

Is his mother a virgin?

“I’m not a Jedi!” “He’s a Jedi!”

You would love i belive its the second star wars robot chicken special with garry the stormtrooper

Like that will ever happen. We can dream though

yea, I could listen to them talk abt anything

Yep it's the power of two possibly drunk Australian guys dicking about.

The luke in the sequel trilogy is the bigger Luke, the real Luke is only 3 feet tall

Oh man, Strong Guys & Green Guys just get along really well it seems

I understand that reference !!

Mork_of_Ork2001 Good boy! Here’s a treat!

Arc 48 good thing it worked

They never said he didn’t so it is not a retcon

Benjamin Klein It was always implied from everything that was shown that he never had one

Ahsoka also met chewbacca.

@@arc4859 Which implications though? Anikan was only mentioned in passing like three times throughout the original trilogy, then we see him between Episode 2 (the very start of the Clone Wars) and Episode 3 (the very end of the Clone Wars), not much mentioned in between. So while of course they did give Anakin a Padawan after the fact, I wouldn't say it was a retcon because it was never established the Anakin never had a Padawan, he was just never implied to have one outright in the movies.

The Clone that the Clone talks to in Clone Wars: The Cloniest Wars is also a Clone.

what?

JJ Abrams is a failed clone of George Lucas.

Ben was also a clone, but not just any clone - he was a clone of the clone of the original Ben, who might also have been a clone.

KP Kev the Poet I actually think that’s better...plus let’s be honest Rogue One was some of the best they had, give credit where it’s due

@@harrambou9468 Rogue One is my favourite post originally original trilogy Star Wars movie. I wasn't criticising it, just stating a fact.

KP Kev the Poet if “post original” includes Revenge of the Sith how was Rogue One better

@@harrambou9468 I should have said Sequels. Revenge of the Sith is on par. Not sure which is better. Rogue One felt realer and had much better dialogue, the individual story was better BUT no lightsaber duel and didn't have the weight of the drama that Obi Wan Vs Anakin had so they're about even to me.

@@harrambou9468 or you could look at this GQ article that put Rogue 1 at 3rd best and ROTS at 5th... www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/star-wars-movies-ranked-disney-plus "3. Rogue One (2016) Everyone dies, which is much more in the spirit of “Empire” than “Jedi”. It has great casting, especially Felicity Jones, Diego Luna and Forest Whitaker. The reprogrammed Imperial droid K-2SO is a neat idea and the kind of deftness lacking in both the prequels and the newer films, while the simple and pacy plot provides a really smart link to A New Hope. The sense of inevitable doom gives the audience a serious dosage of angst, which is obviously a good thing. Because it’s so well balanced between the Skywalker films and can live as a standalone story and it feels like proper Star Wars, that makes it pretty much a total success.

AHAHAHA

Boom. roasted.

Good God you destroyed him, there's nothing left but a pile of ash.

h8 mail but the h has an 8 at the end

Da_Pikmin_Coder a pile of ash... in the shape of a BUTT! 🤣 Ha! Got him again!

Zachary Wilcox my comment can't compete with the most recent H8 Mail feature. That stuff was pretty crazy.

@Darth Wheezius no, that's not it at all. Yodas speech pattern is legible and not nonsense.

i’m the rotj the force ghosts are all seen wearing this same outfit, even anikan so why would you assume that this is just a desert outfit when every jedi shown is wearing this sort of thing

@@justintrujillo8483 Because in the original Star Wars, that's what it was. ROTJ is where the retcon starts. Rogue One fixes it though, by introducing Jedha, another desert planet as the origin point for the Jedi.

That was on the cheek

@@simonegreco1958 It still counts

@@kevinangelsofjustice true

It. Still. Counts.

There’s also a deleted scene in empire where Luke and Leia kiss in the infirmary before everyone arrives. There are screen caps of it

Which video was that from?

James isn't a goat man?! Why?

With a family too! Such bullshit

Manman sounds like a star wars name.

Emperors clone*

I always presumed 'Palpatine' was his full name. What kind of name is Sheev? That sounds like a bad rapper.

Also known as "Creamy" Sheeve

Kevin M he’s from an alien planet hundreds of galaxies away no one has a normal name in Star Wars you fuck

@@emilyiscool891 the main character is literally called Luke

Kevin M yeah and theres also a character called obi wan Kenobi and an other called jabba the hut

Impossible! I've never heard either of them slam a single door!

fun fact:My dad once did a short stint as a radio host back in the 80's and had a bit where their were multiple people in the booth with him (think Howard stern) but all of them were actually just him.

@@Jerome616 That is fun

Greg? You mean Ben?

@@expendableindigo9639 No, James' wife. Her name is Greg.

Not seeing much of it as retcon

9 completely retconned 8. The sequels are a mess.

@@spaceslav8954 meh at least they are fun to watch

@@deadshot5007 Not really mate :/

@@spaceslav8954 I think they are. I love and like episode 7 and 8 and episode 9 kinda fucked it all up by trying to backpadel instead of finishing the story that Episode 8 started. Definitely more enjoyable than the Prequels.

"Original seen in rebels" Boy the original was from so far before that. I don't even know what the original was, but I know the rules were discussed in Path of Destruction.

Granted, it's not like different games using the same decks of cards don't exist in our universe...

Quirderph true but originally it was a dice game

WyattTyson - I was talking about first time (i saw it anyways) in the disney canon

Is it anything like Fizbin? Because then I might know the rules.

#GrabDatBong :P

it's canon. from a certain point of view...

What you are talking about is they're both Canon but in different continuities

Everything is canon!

Nothing is canon

Oh wait. This is canon: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jQkb9DWCbZ8.html

But he said general kenobi so ITS OK

I think they had become jedi robes by the time they shot that ghost scene.

Exactly. Then George fucked it all up by making them "jedi robes"

Unfortunate side effect of making Obi-Wan look like an absolute moron. Obi-Wan: I'm gonna hide on this sand planet, where no one will know I'm a Jedi. I WILL NOT buy new clothes.

@@blyzer7373 Actually, thats not true. Obi Wan is dressed like a Samurai with a wizard robe and riding boots. He's wearing an elaborate layered tunic with double tabards, he has an "Obi"(sash) around his waste with a belt over it. He wears a hooded cloak over that. Owen is wearing simple peasant garb with a bathrobe over it. They're only similar colors. When we see Luke in Return of the Jedi, he's dressed just like Obi Wan was, or like Obi Wan in the Prequels, but in all black and brown. Then there's Yoda...

@@Quirderph I always say that as just giving Anakin Obi-Wan's outfit so they didn't have to design a new outfit for a five second scene and so him and Obi-Wan would stand together as brothers.

Oreo mcflu-rry of course

Never mind the Covid McFlurry machine broke so we’ll just have to use a regular McFlurry

Retcon: Bob Iger was made by Mephisto to pretend to be Mason's dad and once it's revealed, Mason has a mental breakdown while uttering the words "No more grabbing that gem".

Mason is a clone of Bob Iger

No, that's not true! That's impossible!

Thanks very much!

It was me, Matt but that’s okay and thanks!

Imagine in shimi's room, 9 months before Anakin is born, you hear a loud, low pitched "goooonk"

I think you just accidentally made the word "engagement" a euphemism. I don't know what for, but also, I don't *want* to know.

@@althaz 🤣🤣🤣

I think in the original original he says "son of Skywalker" like in this clip: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rKtciRCVpFE.html. Appreciate he comment though!

Anaakin in the first Star Wars Paperback

But even Kenner release a Anakin action figure in 1985 and its written Anakin Skywalker on the package lol !!!

Obi-Wan speaks Anakin's name in 1983's ROTJ.

No worries appreciate the kind words!

Smokey La Bear i saw it as a sort of taunt, not a shrug. Like he’s saying “well?”

It was a bow.

It's definitely a shrug in the sense of his father. It's literally obvious

Yeah no

Luke kinda looks like Obi-Wan too.ehh?
