Improving Star Wars
I'm sure dozens of similar threads have been made, but none of them were made by the great Gideon, apprentice to the greatest of all (my Master, Publius). Ergo, one more will do just fine.
If you, a mere mortal, could command the great (but not as great as Gideon) Lucas to give you control over LFL and, in extension, command to redesign the entirety of the EU, what would you do?
Both Jedi and Sith get weaker the closer we get to the Empire, e.g. Ragnos=Best of the Best (but still never fully explained, I like mystery). They start getting stronger after Palpatine dies AT ENDOR WHERE HE STAYS DEAD.
Bane gets credit for Darth.
The events of KoTOR II don't happen. No Exile's wound, no Nihilus Mega-Drain, no invincible Sion.
The Dark Nest series never happen. They've always felt like an unnecessary interval between the NJO and LoTF.
The Legacy comics are scrapped and re-adapted into novels(with pictures). Krayt's order can call themselves Sith all they want, but in truth are really just Dark Jedi.
The only known Sith Lords that exist in the 3000 year period in between The Old Sith Wars and the Brotherhood of Darkness are---NO ONE. No "the Sith rule galaxy," no Andeddu or whoever. 3000 years of mystery.
That's all I can think of for now.
Shut up. Also:
Palpatine's resurrection, along with the overwhelming majority of post-RotJ material, is retarded, and as such it all goes [Katarn is cool though, he lives]. TCW goes, the CWC gets toned down - although Mace gets to keep most of his scene on Dantooine - pretty much all of TPM was forgettable except for Qui-Gon and Maul - who both ended up being wasted anyway - and AotC was only serviceable because of Portman, Fett - again, wasted - and a few good action scenes. Grievous is more badass, Ventress fights less, and Dooku doesn't see Anakin during the war. Starkiller is less powerful, Luke Skywalker is a little more badass but still not over the top [DE's only redeeming quality].
Most of the Sadow/Kun era gets more fleshed out, and the concept of amulets as they are is eradicated. Starships can't blow up stars, planets, or solar systems, because only the Death Star should be that cool. Rancors aren't encountered on every planet in the galaxy. There is no "Sith magic."
Traviss is ridiculous. All of her shit goes, too. Stover and Luceno get commissioned more.
I would get rid of anything post Rotj that has sith it really ruins Vaders sacrifice to bring balance to the force would maybe keep the sith from the legacy comics as they were seen as a joke by the older sith, but that's still tarnishing Vaders legacy. I would also add more back story to the ancient sith and Anakin Solo didn't die.
The Confederacy should also be treated with relative sympathy. There's no way that such a movement could be feasible if it were regarded by the rest of the galaxy as a terrorist group; Dooku's charisma would have to be fleshed out and it would be explicitly clear that many planets believe the CIS to be a better alternative to the decaying Republic.
I don't know what the **** PR could do with Grievous though.

Blame the victim? As in, his victims deserve it because they let him get hit by a shuttle (or whatever). Also, financial aid is only available to those who promise not to be unthankful by getting a job in the future.

Palpatine made Palpatine look good.
Because he was patient and subtle; Grievous was a being of many traits, but those weren't among his virtues.
That and Palpatine acted through proxy and pawn.
You really think it'd be all that difficult to cover up whatever "atrocities" Grievous was responsible for?
Absolutely.
What did he do that was especially bad, anyway?
Genocide, mass murder, raids on civilians. The entire galaxy feared him.
Originally posted by GideonI was about to ask when Grievous acted without Palpatine's consent, but there's an entire episode dedicated to his arrogance.

Canonize exactly what Revan is and isn't capable of. People can have KOTOR all they want but make a novel that actually Canonizes the evnts of KOTOR and flesh out revans character. no more gary stewism.
make vader Awesome. like more powerful he was the chosen one and even though he is in a suit he should still be a top tier force user.
