What if a janitor mops the floor of a sith lord's throne room and the sith lord slips and dies. Is the janitor, a non force-sensitive, completely normal dude, the new sith lord?


What if when the apprentice makes his move and engages his sith lord in mortal combat, they both mortally wound each other? Who takes power then?

If a jedi kills a sith does he inherit his position and all his assets and servants?

...I've never considered this. There's the obvious risk of both participants dying in a lightsaber fight so you would think an organization with two members only would be pretty strict when it comes to situations when they could both die.

Remember how Palpatine always has some guys following him around everywhere?

They're Sith referees. Sith lord succession pretty much goes by hardcore wrestling rules so falls count anywhere.

Star Wars would be a lot better if it operated under the same rules as the WWE imo.

Topher Grace did a re edit of the PT that's supposed to be really good but was only shown once to a small group of people.

I refuse to believe anybody could "Fix" the prequels without trashing the lot and reshooting. There just isn't enough meat or bones to the footage to assemble a proper movie.

That Topher Grace edit sounds interesting. Taking all three movies and making an 85 minute film out of them, and he cut out almost all of Phantom Menace and opens with the Maul fight, isn't a bad idea. You really couldn't make them any worse.

so... guess that's it, huh? just... don't say i didn't warn you.
There's a fan edit on youtube that condensed the three movies together. into a 2 hour 'character piece' about Anakin.

Literally the only PM scene was the tale end of the Maul fight. The rest was still terrible, there was a deleted scene of Anakin meeting Padme's family which I hadn't seen and thought was almost good so of course it was not in the movies originally.

Yeah, that really doesn't sound too bad. Sounds like the Topher Grace edit used the same deleted scene.

Wait so where were her loving parents during the whole Naboo crisis nonsense. I thought they'd be dead or something based on the original movie cuts but nope still alive and kicking in AotC, letting their daughter be a loving queen and then a senator. Getting captured and fighting a war at like 14 years of age.

What do they even do?!?!?
