What's Your Favorite 'Head-Canon' ?

Amilyn Holdo (at least her teenage version seen in Claudia Gray's "Leia, Princess of Alderaan"), while dying her hair bright colors and wearing vibrant caftans, generally puts on simple open-toed sandals like those worn by hippies or monks (something that would probably be worn on Gatalenta). Like Tahiri Veila lite

 

After relocating his battalion of clone troopers from Boz Pity to Kashyyyk, Master Vos survived Order 66 and lived long enough to have a little run-in with a certain nerfherder. Oh, wait....

 

Cool thread. Here’s a few of my own indulgent little nonsense brain squirts.

• I imagine the galaxy as a sort of super organism (or holobiont). One that persists based off the symbiotic relationship between ‘life’ and the ‘force’. The ‘health’ of this organism is dependent on that relationship and it’s susceptible to disease. Fear, pain, hatred, misery; those are symptoms of the disease. The Jedi exist (existed) as antibodies in that structure, part of the organism’s immune system. Their function is/was to find the root of those symptoms and remove it. To maintain that ‘balance’ and prevent the disease from spreading.

• The Force is created by life. So the state of life, be it flourishing or in anguish, colors the Force light or dark. The Force, in turn, influences life in directions of either hope or despair depending on which is dominate. The greater the fear, pain, hatred, misery, etc. within the galaxy, the greater the prevalence of the darkside in the galaxy.

• Force acuity is dependent on mentality and not biology. Reaching out and interacting with the Force is the product of a state of mind that few people have the discipline to attain. Like playing music, everyone has the potential, but only scarce numbers can truly take to it. Some have an intrinsic talent for it, but an individual’s personal progress is only limited by themselves and not genetics.

• R2 is the narrator relaying all the details of this saga to us.

• Anakin was subconsciously mind tricking Padme into loving him. Not deliberately, but his selfish obsessive feelings were influencing her better judgement. Icky? Yes, yes it is.

• Palpatine built his second Deathstar as a giant middle finger to the Rebel Alliance. To show them that they’d never truly accomplished anything. Whatever they destroyed, he could just build back up again like it never even happened. He needed to show them how powerful he and is Empire were and how insignificant they were.

• The darkside, as a tradeoff for its immediate enhancement, deteriorates your body. Like abusing steroids. The quicker, easier path to strength has an equivalent toll. That’s why Palpatine looks so fugly. He’s literally rotting away. That’s why Vader could never fully recover from his injuries. He’s falling apart faster than he can heal.

• Maz, while assisting Lando with labor disputes after reclaiming Cloud City, is called to Luke’s lightsaber where she has a vision of her own. One that tells her she needs to hold onto it until someone worthy comes to claim it.

• Luke and Leia are the balance that Anakin was prophesized to bring. One representing the physical, Leia, returning the galaxy to a state of peace. One representing the spiritual, Luke, returning the galaxy to a state of faith.

• Snoke was well aware of the plan to sneak off to Crait. He allowed the (otherwise pointless) chase to play out because he wanted them to believe they could get away. To cultivate their hopes, so he could then steal them away. Because that’s what villains do!

 

I Don’t Really Have A Headcanon For Star Wars, I’m Worried I’ll Just Butterfly Effect The Series, So:
BUT, I Did Think Up My Entire Changed Version Of The Series, Most Of The Movies Didn’t Change That Much, But Here’s The Basic Rundown On What I Changed For Each One, If I Don’t Mention It, I Can’t Remember What I Changed:

TPM: Added Pre-Cyborg General Grievous As An Antogonist Alongside Maul, I Also Pretty Much Removed All The Politics From The Movie And Replaced It With Lore And Battles, Plus I Added An End-Credit Scene That Shows Maul Surviving Getting Cut In Half So People Who Don’t Read Into The Lore Undetstand Why He Is In My Versions Of Solo And TLJ, I Also Added Jango Fett Because I Wish We Saw More Of Him, But I Feel It Was Nessassary For Him To Die In Ep II, And I Removed Nute Gunray

AOTC: Pre-Cyborg General Grievous Appears Again, This Time, He Gets Horribly Injured, I Also Changed It To Where He Is Force Sensitive, And I Removed The Line: “And Not Just The Men, But The Women, And Children Too”. And I Removed Nute Gunray

ROTS: Removed Nute Gunray, Showed More Of Order 66, Let Plo Koon Live And Fight Anakin With Obi-Wan, And Added An End Credits Scene Of Palpatine Cloning Grievous, Which Will Be Important Eventually

ESB-Made Palpatine a Bigger threat and Had Vader Kill Him In This One, But Made Vader Become The New Emperor

ROTJ-Replaced Palpatine’s Role With Vader And Had Luke Do What George Lucas Originally Wrote: “Now, I AM VADER”, But Leia Turns Him Back At The End Anyway

TFA-Made The Resistance Set Up A Temporary Base On Takodana Instead Of Going To D’Qar, Kylo Ren Gets His Limbs Cut Off, His Face Gets Burnt By A Hole Made By Starkiller Base, Luke Ignites His Green Lightsaber At The End

TLJ-OK, I Came Up With My Version Of The Last Jedi Before The Actual Movie Came Out, So My Version Is COMPLETELY Different, Basically: Luke Refuses To Train Rey Until The Force Ghosts Force Him To, Then All 4 Train Her, She Does Go To The Cave, But She Finds Darth Maul In There, Obi-Wan’s Ghost Kills Him, Kylo, The Nights Of Ren, And Boba Fett’s Daughter Attack Ach-To And Luke And Rey Retreat To Dagobah, Kylo Goes To Mustafar And Finds Snoke, It Is Revealed That He Is Palpatine, Who Somehow Survived Darth Vader’s Attempt On His Life, Kylo Then Completes His Training, The Resistance Then Goes To Coruscant To Try And Escape, But The First Order Is There And They Have A Huge Battle, Rey Saves Them At The End But Leia Dies In The Process

Ep 9-It’s Pretty Much Just A Really Long Battle On The First Order’s Capital

Let Me Know If You Want Me To Put Up My Versions Of Eps 10-13

 

mine is my theory that valkorian can slow down time to the point were everything stops

when valkorian first used the freeze ability he says time had not stopped mabey not stopped but mabey slowed to the point were nothing is moveing



i beleive he can slow down time to the point were everything has been stopped you may ask why didn't he use this at the begining of kotfe that's because he let the outlander or arcann kill him devs confermed il plus one of the outlander level up abilitys is known as slow time

vaylin was able to overpower it so is she shattering time

valkorian is useing his freeze ability frozen lana at 9sec and frozen koth at 53

 

Alright, alright, alright...

Favourite head-canons?

• Ahsoka met Leia during her Fulcrum times and always thought she reminded her of someone or at least two people she met before.
• Ahsoka met Luke and Leia later on before going on her quest with Sabine to find Ezra. She also saw Chewie again.
  
• Ben Solo didn't want to be trained in the ways of the Jedi. He wanted to be a pilot like his dad.
• Rex met Luke and told him about his time in The Clone Wars fighting along General Skywalker.
• When Shara Bey died, Leia wrote Kes and Poe a letter and Han flew to Yavin 4 to give it to Kes, taking little Ben with him. Ben and Poe met briefly.

Many of this stuff has not been confirmed and might not end up being true but it would be fantastic if it were.

 

That when Rey closed the hatch on her connection with Kylo at the end of TLJ, that it 100% destroyed all hope of anything romantic between them.

 

That Shmi was feed almost immediately after Anakin left. I absolutely hate the idea that she remained a slave for years. Once Anakin became a padawan, it was the least the Jedi or the republic could have done to go to the bank and change some Republic credits into whatever currency would buy her freedom.

 

A favorite head-canon of mine is to think of Star Wars as if it's a series of fictional events.

 

In my head canon Anakin had brown eyes when he died on the death star and Luke didn't scream like a little girl when he got his hand chopped off on Bespin.

 

Honestly, I could see this being more of a proper explanation of things. After thousands of years fighting against the Sith, maybe they became as bad as their enemy? How many Jedi fell to the Dark Side during that time, we'll never know but I get a feeling it could be a large amount.

 

That Admiral Ozzel was a secret Rebel sympathizer intentionally trying to aid the Rebellion . . . and not just an incompetent doofus who was bad at his job.

 

Headcanon: Rey did more between TLJ and TROS than just training OR the Battle of Exegol was just an Endor-style turning point in the war rather than its end.

Anti-headcanon: The test footage of Cad Bane's death is not canon.

Legends Headcanon: The IG-88 A-B storyline from Legends is real, including the final version hacking the Death Star II.

 

This is a pretty common one, but I’ve always liked the idea that Anakin is checking on Ahsoka and Rex’s progress on Mandalore in this scene during Revenge of the Sith. Presumably Ahsoka’s conversation with Obi-Wan’s hologram was when he was on his Venator (about to fly off to Utapau) and that’s why Anakin wasn’t present for it.



I also like the idea of Luke encountering Rex and Ahsoka, possibly on multiple occasions. They were two of the people Anakin Skywalker was closest to and both are still alive during and after the Original Trilogy.

We know he and Rex were both on Endor together. Rex could’ve been telling Luke of his father’s heroism during the Clone Wars, which is what gets Luke to try and redeem his father rather than destroy him.



If the reports of a Rebels sequel series are true, I refuse to believe they’d miss the opportunity of having Luke and Ahsoka meet after Return of the Jedi. That would be such an interesting encounter and I’d love to see stories of the two going on adventures together. I also really want this fan art to come to fruition:

 

R2D2 is the Kenny of Star Wars.

 

Yes. The Kenny Baker of Star Wars.

 

Both Clone Wars shows happened. Clone Wars happened within the first few days/weeks of the Clone Wars starting, and TCW starts a few months in, after Anakin is properly Knighted. Episodes like the Mace Windu one did happen, but not to that degree. When you're a kid and see something awesome, it can become inflated in time, and that's what happened with the Mace story.

But my Major Headcanon:

Finn is the son of Luke Skywalker and Tula Markona (see Star Wars comic issues 57-61 aka (Book 12, "The Escape")), and his birth name is Anakin. Tula and Luke were in love, but Luke went off to do Jedi things and never knew Tula was pregnant. Tula gave birth, but Clan Markona was soon targeted by the First Order after being deemed a big enough threat to watch out against, but small enough to be taken out without much notice.

What does this do for Finn? Well, like Kylo, Poe, and Rey, it gives him a legacy that he can choose to carry or leave behind on his own. It also allows for recontexualization and motive ambiguity of the moments shared between Finn and Kylo all throughout TFA - does Kylo watch Finn because he's sensing a F.S. trooper, or because he knows exactly who Finn really is? Is Kylo's scream of "TRAITOR" a projection of his own feelings and hypocrisy onto Finn, or is it because Kylo genuinely feels betrayed by his kin once again? And that final fight echoes the final fight in ROTS: once again Ben and Anakin are fighting. Once again, a girl that means so much to both of them is lying unconscious on the ground. Once again, Anakin will be injured and lose the fight to Ben. And once again, Palpatine will come to Anakin's aide. But this time, everyone has switched sides. And in this version, the woman who means so much to them DECIDES how the fight goes. Narrative depth and poetry, free will of characters, and a symbolic breaking of the chains all in one, quick backstory.

And in the extended material beyond Episode IX, Luke would find out about his son, once again repeating the trend of a Skywalker father not finding his son until he switched sides (this time in terms of mortality instead of morality).

This wouldn't have affected me shipping Finn and Rey in any way either. In the pre-TROS version, Finn would take the name Skywalker, Rey would have her family name (assuming she had one she cared enough to take*), and when they married, Rey would become Rey Skywalker. Or even in the actual canon, Finn could take the name Markona and marry Rey and take up her name. And then he could do a sort of Mandalorian style family naming. Finn and Rey Skywalker of Clan Markona.** (This would be a little more challenging in my revision, but I'd probably just have Fin and Rey keep their own last names upon marrying; Rey would still marry into the new Markona clan, but after that, her name and rank would start to become unwieldy. "Jedi Skywalker Rey Organa of Clan Markona" is a mouthful after all!)

How would this have affected Finn? Honestly, I'm not sure. Would Finn have wanted to learn how to become a Jedi, like his father (and great-grandmother) before him?*** Or would he prefer to become a mercenary, like his mother's side of the family? Would he blend the two and become something else? The world will never know.


*During the time I was really into this theory, Rey was still a Nobody, so she had no family name to take.
**This would also provide a family/clan/place to belong to all of the Stormtroopers who can't find their families, don't want to take up their family name, or don't care about finding their families.
***This probably isn't the route I'd take him, in all honesty. I like the idea of narrative symmetry, but it only works up to a certain extent. From the discovery onward, I'd want Finn to be his own man, not just like "his father before him." Regardless of the path, all I know for certain is that Finn would use a Lightsaber Rifle as a weapon, blending his Stormtrooper training and his Jedi heritage into something new we haven't really seen before.

The only things I’d consider to be 100% canon for me are the episodes 4-9, solo and rogue one.

I still enjoy the prequels, tv shows, books, comics, video games...I just prefer to think of them as kinda of a legend. The basic story is still part of my head canon, but the specifics are slightly different.
