What about R2-D2 and 3PO being the Chroniclers of the entire Skywalker Saga.
That idea was first put forward in the Star Wars comics of the late 70's early 80's
Does that count.
They can do whatever they want. Even the most vague of ground rules Lucas might have set, have gone out the window.You know, based on some of what I've seen lately, I wouldn't be surprised if we see Luke again and the excuse goes something like this........"Luke on Ahch-To, well that wasn't really him, it was a force projection, because he still was in hiding and worried about being found. And the Luke on Crait, well that was a force projection of a force projection. Jedi's are pretty crafty......."

Script finished already? The Star Wars sausage machine never stops. TLJ was a one draft job and boy, didnt that show in the end.
Through flashbacks and time travel, you can change anything you want about a character's motivation or situation, and JJ has always used it as a crutch. I'm sure this device is a welcome addition to the Star Wars universe for JJ.
I remember when I was back in elementary school and quite naive. We had a test and we were going through the answers as a class. The teacher asked me what my answer was for a particular question. I very confidently said "A". She asked "Are you sure? It might BE something else." I insisted I had it right and didn't need to change.
It reminds me of that. They just vomit out these drafts and think "It's perfect! Not change needed here!" It seems like that is more or less what Hollywood has come to in general. If the draft is a mess we'll just use LOADS of money to reshoot and rewrite when we're 3/4 through the filming.
I thought the oversaturation of star wars would be it's down fall. Apparently it's the stories there comming out with.
Some Tolkien fans would disagree with youI wonder what Peter Jackson could’ve done with the ST if he had the chance? He respects the history, lore, and characters of established franchises... idk. Part of me feels that KK is the main reason everything I love has been thrown out the window and ran over.
Anyone see on theforce.net that there is something in the works called Star Wars: Resistance ? Maybe Rich Evans of Red Letter Media is right in predicting that The Last Jedi was a precursor to a weekly tv show where Rey and what remains of the Rebel forces go up against the First Order.
I mean let's face it, Star Wars is becoming a joke.
