I don't know if this has been posted before and I certainly know this isn't exactly the right forum to ask, but I was wondering if the OT would have made the same impact it did if Luke had been black.

Hum. Try the OT forum?

In the bleak black darkness of the dark side ?

?

If Luke were black... then we know that Padme had an affair with Mace Windu......

this is a weird thread...

Well... it could have worked. Darth Vader's voice sounded VERY "dark."

LMFAO!!! Nice one bud.... Dancing Bananas for that one...

Nigga please

weirdest thread ever

We need a new thread about "What If Mace Windu was white?" then nothing would change.... he still goes out like a punk, just a white punk now....

If Luke was black, Star Wars would have been Star Wars. Only red-neck conservatives would scoff at this. (Notice "red-neck conservatives" not just "conservatives"

Even if George was able to sell the idea of having an african-american hero, I don't think that star wars would be the smash hit that it was. In a way, it would have been very innovative.

i take offence to this thread

that's all i've got to add...

Of course it did, JEJ is black remember.

What if Yoda was an Gungan?
What if Jedi Master "Jar Jar" lived on Dagobah?
What if Palpatine was a member of G-Unit?
What if Sidious looked like a girl with a low-voice?
What if the Jedi-Temple was called Miyagi's DOJO?
What if Plo Koon looked like the Mask?
What if Jedi used weenies instead of lightsabers in combat?
What if Vito Corleone was head of the Jedi Council?
What if Jabba and Luke switched places in their appearance?
What if Obi-Wan was black and Mos Eisley was called Tha Hood?

and so on and so on.................

.....nice thread

Luke; "I don't understand how we got past those troops?"
O.B1-Smokethaweed; "Jeeezzz, does I gotta tell y'z tha shit again, niggah?
Crack's havin' a fizzle influence, on tha weak snizzles, y'know wha'm sayin', dog?!"
Luke; .......
O.B1...; "Yoh bwoy, pay attention aighhht.....Most o'them ol'dirty flyboyz are slangin' here, y'd better keep y'head up bwoy...this crib can turn into serious gangsta shit!
Smoke some with y'ol G, no stress..."

.....O.B1...; "Heya JAHwzzz, whaaazzzup, whas happ'nin...later dogzzz!"
Luke;

LOL!!!!!!!

this thread's pointless.

What if luke was played by someone other than Mark Hammil, period??

it wouldn't have been the same... and that's all you're going to know. end of story.

*this is a first for me to request a closing*

but would someone PLEASE close this stupid thread.

strange...up till this point you were such a staunch defender of pointless threads. make up your mind.

Look, I'm against pointless threads much, but this is not a pointless thread> It's a what if-thread, but it better should be posted in another forum.
That's all.
It's good to laugh once in a while and besides, this is far better than those all-time annoying versus-polls>

Chear up dude...no offense

What if Mace Windu had long blonde hair?
What if Anakin 9yrs old(Jake Lloyd) had a seat on the Jedi Council already?
What if Palpatine in a senate meeting was yelling "I Duddits" all the time?
What if Chewie had switched bows with Geronimo?
What if Anakin and Padme had a 18+ scene in the Chancelors bedroom?
What if Beavis&Butthead had runned Dex's Dinner?
What if Shmi said "Oooh, your such a whiner!" in the Tusken Camp?
What if R2 had 3PO's voice and 3PO R2's?
What if Obi-Wan gave Luke a cookie instead of his fathers lightsaber?
What if Jabba the Hutt was a Podracer?
What if Darth Maul had lolliepops sticking out of his skull and shared a picnick together with Qui Gon and Obi-Wan at the plains of Naboo?
What if Yoda and Sidious teamed up to confront Sauron?
What if Ewoks lived on the planet called Teddybear?
What if the Deathstar looked like the Statue of Liberty?
What if Leia had real donuts sticking to her head?
What if StarWars was called "Spaceships with lasers firing at eachother"?
What if Darth Vader was a black dude with white armor and saying "Whazzzzzzzaaaaaaaaapp" to Obi-Wan?

....more what if's

What if this thread was closed?

what if = non canon = EU section

I know, but must we be serious all the time?

I think the twins would have been luke and lando

That's SO funny.

I say yeah it would had made a huge difference. SW came out in a very racial tension decade in America. The Vietnam war was on its last days and racial discrimination was high. Plus the civil rights movement was still in the heads of many people. So yeah defenetly a huge difference woulda happen.

btw-guys I'm sure the originator of the thread meant no harm with his topic. Why not reply with reasonable arguments rather than mockery? Is just shows lack of character from some of you.

Thank you.

Hey Mortanius, dont take offense at me poking fun at this thread... I was only joking with ya... it is a very good question and it makes you think, unlike most threads on this board.... like the ass who posted a thread asking whether the Polis Massa Asteroid Belt is the same Belt in ESB?? What a retard!!!

i still think this is pointless sorry.

and, its not even ep3 related. close or move it please.

If Luke were black and Star Wars (IV) was still successful, then maybe George Lucas wouldn't have felt like courting black fans on that MTV awards thing awhile back with Yoda talking jive and kissing up to Queen Latifah, and being complimented by Samuel L. Jackson, etc.

NoMen brings a good point. Is not Ep III related so is moving to EU.

I've never been a staunch defender of useless threads. I've just been a staunch supporter of letting the mods do their job. Unlike you, i'm not dumb enough to take the time to whine and complain about every useless thread... instead i just let them sink to the bottom or let the REAL mods handle it. Nor do i feel the need to bash on every little kid who doesn't know how not to be a forum noob.


now stop following me around troll.

"instead i just let them sink to the bottom or let the REAL mods handle it."

"but would someone PLEASE close this stupid thread."

If he was black, he would beeasier to turn to the 'dark' side.

That was funny! But seriously, I don't think that Star Wars would be around today had Luke been cast as a black youth instead of white one. I don't think that America at that time would accept it. But if it actually did happen, it would have been phenomenal. He would have been a good role-model for black children.

If luke was black, the ESB confrontation with vader would have been like:

Luke: Wassup, DV
Vader: Who's yo daddy!!
