Forgotten Piece Of Star Wars Could Save The Entire Galaxy

Written by Chris Snellgrove | Published 1 hour ago

It is well known (or infamously, depending on who you talk to), that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is yet to be rebooted Avengers: Secret Wars. While the creative Hail Mary may or may not overcome audiences’ collective superhero fatigue, Star Wars fans are asking the big question: When is Disney going to reboot this galaxy far, far away and try to save a franchise that has been slowly dying since the release of the sequel trilogy?

This reboot will be easier than you might imagine due to a forgotten episode of Star Wars Rebels It introduced a time travel mechanic that would allow for a basic reboot of the entire franchise.

Back to the past

the Rebels The episode is “A World Between Worlds”, which premiered in 2018. The name of the episode refers to the special dimension of power that serves as the ultimate intersection of time and space. Ezra Bridgers travels through this dimension, allowing him to travel to the past and save Ahsoka from a fatal duel with Darth Vader on Malachor.

That’s right: we won’t have it Ahsoka show (nor does it appear in a string like The Mandalorian) If she is not saved from certain death thanks to force-powered time travel. By the end of the episode, the portal to the world between worlds is closed, and its temple has sunk into the ground; However, if Disney brings back this mysterious dimension for future films and shows, it will open the door to rebooting the Star Wars universe in some new and exciting ways.

Finally: a way to fix the sequel trilogy

For example, this dimension can be used to save other beloved characters from certain death. What if a character like Ezra or Rey saved Han Solo from being killed in the sequel trilogy? This would allow these characters to appear in future Star Wars projects (assuming they can get Harrison Ford back, of course) while allowing for canon-friendly reboots of sequel plot elements that fans hate so much.

For example, Rebels The episode “A World Between Worlds” shows that changing the past affects the present. Ezra wants to save his mentor Kanan Jarrus from an explosion that claimed his life, but Ahsoka points out that Kanan died preventing that explosion from killing his fellow rebels. If he was pulled from the past like Ahsoka, it would change the timeline because everyone he was trying to protect would be dead by now.

So, something like saving Han Solo from being killed by Kylo Ren The force awakens It would create a ripple effect on future events. For example, Han’s colleague Lando Calrissian has no trouble rallying the galaxy to help the Resistance The Rise of Skywalkeralthough Leia couldn’t get it anyone To come to their aid The last jedi. Han is just as charismatic as Lando and would have gotten the help Leia needed to oust the First Order earlier in TLJ, meaning Luke Skywalker wouldn’t have to sacrifice himself to stop Kylo Ren so the Resistance could escape.

Bring back the greatest Star Wars hero

This would allow Mark Hamill to appear as Luke Skywalker in future Star Wars projects. More importantly, it will allow for a complete replay of the sequels’ events. This may seem extreme, but it effectively erases The Rise of Skywalker It may be the best way to fix the bug in modern Star Wars.

Of course, characters can influence the past in other provocative ways… like, what if someone stopped Luke Skywalker from thinking about killing Ben Solo? This would have prevented the young man from becoming Kylo Ren and possibly prevented the First Order from ascending in the first place. This would give future Disney writers a clean slate to effectively create the sequel trilogy from scratch.

Let the past die. Kill her if you have to

Obviously, these are just possibilities for using time travel to reboot the Star Wars universe. There are endless other possibilities, and here’s my point: In the hands of skilled screenwriters, it’s possible to reboot this series in a way that maintains some of the elements fans love while shaking up the status quo as much as possible. Best of all, this reboot won’t feel arbitrary because of a forgotten episode of a series Rebels Provide a canonical explanation for in-universe time travel.

By the way, a somewhat different version of the “World Between Worlds” appeared. Ahsokawhich was mostly used to show Ahsoka (who arrived in this dimension via the Force rather than a special temple) dream-like visions of her past and allow her to speak to Anakin Skywalker again. It was great to see Hayden Christensen as Anakin, of course, and it’s fun to see Ahsoka get some closure, but we don’t see her or anyone else using this special dimension to change the past. If a future Star Wars movie or show uses The World Between Worlds it’s more like Rebels If it does, it will allow Disney to give the galaxy far, far away a much-needed reboot.

By now, it’s no secret that Disney is wasting the Star Wars franchise, and sometimes as wonderful as it is Andor It just doesn’t make up for the failed sequel trilogy and mediocre TV shows like Boba Fett book and assistant. As with Marvel, a reboot is now necessary to fix the franchise’s narrative faults and get general audiences excited about a galaxy far, far away again. And unless Disney is willing to use time travel to change the franchise’s past, the plain truth is that Star Wars may not have a future.
