What's Your Favorite 'Head-Canon' ?

my head canon is that large swaths of grown men aren't angry about the results of a movie 6 months later to the point of driving one of the stars off social media and repeatedly attacking others about it.

This is the reality I choose to believe in.

 

wackiest head canon i've heard bro lol

that's so out there.. it's scary

 

I agree but would add that I don't care if they are men or not or grown or not. Anyone doing that kind of stupid stuff is not acceptable.

 

it's ok to hate something with a passion but I still don't think that it is right to bully someone over it

 

agreed

I guess, I kind of expect this from kids. They're kids. They eat tide pods and watch Logan Paul videos.
But I always just *assumed* at this level by the time they're adults they wouldn't do that.

But hey, we know about assuming

 

It could, but it could also mean that Palpatine chose to tell Vader the most painful lie he could come up with.

It does, and I love that, it's very poetic.

What's more tragic? Vader killing his wife and living with the burden of his crime, or Vader NOT killing his wife and living with the burden anyway because he's been told that he did kill her?

That's true. But he was so arrogant that he believed a fully dark Vader would never turn against him. I mean he actually believed that Vader would just watch him killing Luke. That tells us everything we need to know about his willingness to take ridiculous risks.

I'd say it's 100% in character.

I don't know. But Pablo Hidalgo came up with a number of ideas that were proven wrong. Many times what he says is about as valid as what we say on this forum, he's just stating his personal opinions and preferences.

 

As a kid, other kids were all variety of people, from meanie-heads, to responsible, to bossy, to bully, to cool. Adults were amazing super people, with cars and money, and sometimes they were bad criminals for some reason. After becoming an adult, it was quick to understand people never truly change. More mature doesn't mean more rational, and there will always be people around you with anti-social behavior, or selfish hatred.



Here's my headcanon. Han wasn't talking about going through the hazard cloud like shown in Solo, when he says less than 12 parsecs. It will continue to be what we deduced over the years, in that he cut corners on the run to Kessel, barely missing stellar objects by closer than anybody else was willing to get. So the distance traveled was less than others doing the same run. And I'll stubbornly stand by that

 

I like the theory that baby Leia was focusing on Padme’s face while baby Luke was focusing on Yoda’s Force signal. This would explain why only Leia remembers Padme as well as why Luke feels something familiar when approaching Dagobah.

 

A headcanon I had is that the galaxy far far away is our galaxy, in the future. It's just that the story is being told in a galaxy far far away. In a time even further into the future.

The planet Hoth? It's a future Earth going through a global ice-age. Over the many many generations the phonetics and pronunciation has changed.

 

My current headcanon is that I have a lot of events that, as long as they aren't currently clashing with the current canon, happened.

For instance, a lot of the events in KOTOR may as well have happened, as far as I know (and in some cases, are actually implied to have happened by the current canon).

 

That sometime prior to ANH, Yoda and Qui-Gon converse and have a hearty laugh over how the chosen one prophecy was the biggest pile of poodoo they ever uttered and it was a complete lie and that they hope Obi-Wan gets a chance to run a DNA test to see who Anakin's father really was.

 

Han and Lando used to go out smuggling as in the good old days. But Han didn't tell anything to Leia and Ben. You could compare it with Mr. Incredible and his buddy hunting bad guys in secret.

 

i still low-key wanted Thrawn to be the real head of the FO; that it was Thrawn they were going out to meet from Jakku.
but Rebels wrecked that and the books put the nail in the coffin, i think.
and the FO is just such a hot mess, it's impossible to imagine Thrawn could have spear-headed it. XD

 

this is disappointing to me, because i really felt like the FO was originally set up as radical "nationalists" who really believe their mission and in their own righteousness, but a lot of the new eu is wrecking that set up. interestingly, the novelization of TLJ still upholds the ideological mission, and shows Hux to be power-crazy but committed to the "cause" (as opposed to greedy or wholly self-serving, which is true of the "old guard" like Peavey and Canady). so i don't even know what to believe anymore.

 

oh absolutely. none of this makes Hux any less of a mess or "better" than what came before.
i just think there's an inciting angle of overall misguidedness that drives it all.
the FO says it recognizes the failures of the Empire, but they are quickly falling into the same lockstep.
