Bi-Monthly Question – What studio initially turned down Lucas’ concept for “Star Wars: A New Hope”? What If? – We cover the question What if Anakin Skywalker had not fallen in love with Padme' Amidala on Tattoine. If Episode 2 would lacked its romantic subplot would Anakin still feel remorse for slaughtering the Tuskens. Would he eventually still become Darth Vader as we know him? Or would he have stood against Palpatine with the Jedi having not let his feelings get the best of him. Obviously it would change the course of the Star Wars Saga as we know it but to what extent? It Wasn’t Me – I address my feelings about an issue that happened recently to me on a Fan Audio Project and some ways we can all learn about communication on Fan Audio Projects. * Show Links: Fat Cat Books – http://www.fatcatbooks.net The New Jedi Council Speaks Website – http://www.jedicouncilspeaks.mypodcast.com The Jedi Council Speaks Forums - http://jedicouncilspeaks.freeforums.org Jedi Council Blog – http://www.jedicouncil.wordpress.com Star Wars Solitude - http://www.starwarsfanworks.com/solitude.html EU Cast - http://www.eucantina.net/eucast The Emperor’s New Clones - http://www.theforce.net/fanfilms/shortfilms/clones/index.asp Mandalorian Mercs - www.mercs.firespray.net Star Wars Fanworks - www.starwarsfanworks.com EMAIL US AT: jedicouncilspeaks@gmail.com MAY THE FORCE BE WITH THOSE WHO LISTEN!!! :)
