Another thing I dislike about The Empire Strikes Back is that it established a serial nature to the series. What if Star Wars sequels had been very episodic, opening the idea of future stories that do not need a chronological order? In fact, what if Star Wars had become a TV series instead, with the movie simply being a pilot? And what if it became one of the very rare television series to make every episode a two hour show? Now imagine that they made a hundred episodes, and that there's an RPG system that covers this new universe.
Do you have any random episode ideas? Again, the only canon allowed is from A New Hope, and you can steal any blockbuster movie idea that came out after 1980.
Star Wars Episode V Gremlins
OK, so why do we have to wait until the third movie to see the second Death Star in action? Shouldn't this have been an essential part of the follow up? This is 'Death Star 2', wouldn't that have been a better marketing idea?
Using the stolen plans in the first movie, the Rebels have been working on a 'Freedom Star' to protect themselves from the Empire. The heroes from the first movie arrive on a small jungle planet to appeal to the leaders of the Rebellion to stop this arms race. While there Luke befriends a small, lone 'Ewok' (and Chewbacca soon develops jealousy issues). Unable to persuade the leadership, the crew heads to the new Space Station.
Luke brings his Ewok friend, and on the way there he begins to teach it the ways of the Force. This creature has some type of strange force sensitivity. Every time it uses Force Magic (which can be any type of crazy reality bending stuff) it multiplies. At first some of the magic is cute and innocent, but with each generation these new creatures become more and more evil. One of them murders a red shirt and eats him, and then hides and goes into a metamorphosis phase. It bursts out of its cocoon as a cross between a Rancor, Gremlin and Wookie, towering at just over Chewbacca's height. It begins using the force to multiply itself over and over.
The Gremlins hyjack the Freedom Star and the heroes can barely escape with their lives. As several planets are recklessly destroyed, the heroes ignore the warnings of the Rebel leadership and appeal to the Empire for help. They meet with Darth Vader, who agrees to work together with them to stop the rogue weapon. Vader double crosses the group once they gain control of the Freedom Star, but they end up setting it to self destruct before the Empire can claim it.
Like any episodic tv show, most of the loose ends are tied up by the end, with the status quo preserved for future episodes.
I would love to see the Force redefined as much more powerful sorcery. It could be able to do anything, similar to more traditional fantasy stories. One central theme of the show could be magic vs technology. Vader could even be at odds with the Emperor in this regard. The Jedi religion could still be very prominent, with priest-sorcerers still having a presence of power (they just lack a military force). The religious leaders could even be neutral on the topic of war.
If Hollywood can reboot Star Trek, why not Star Wars? In my opinion the best way to do this is to throw out canon from all of the sequels.
