No need, he was just fine after my version of TLJ 😁

Booze.

Makes me so happy that that’s still going.

This was my first thought. Honourable mentions to golf and darts.

The Last Jedi doesn’t happen the way it did. Instead, the moment on the island where Rey tries to hand Luke the lightsaber has him reject it in anger and anguish, afraid that the past he thought he had left far behind him has re-emerged. It does not get casually tossed off the cliff for a cheap giggle. The reasons for the rejection can be broadly the same, if necessary, but they can be shown in a less weird and melodramatic way.

In this new version, Finn gets something (anything) to do, ideally something that will bring he and Rey closer together by the end.

Poe does not play “Can you hear me now?” with Hux. There is no casino planet, no obvious double cross and no little moppets with magical broomsticks.

Luke does not die at the end. Leia dies at the 2/3s point, and it’s this that finally brings Luke back into the fold, perhaps to get revenge, perhaps to honour her dying wish, whatever.

Snoke is not discarded like a used tissue. Kylo and Rey still communicate psychically, but there’s no hint of romance. Instead he starts to tempt her towards the dark side, leveraging the pain she feels towards the parents who abandoned her.

I dunno, just something which follows on more naturally from TFA, which is darker, and which definitely is less silly than what we got.

The Rise of Skywalker is in many ways the same as in reality, but it’s Snoke and not the Emperor that’s the Big Bad (although maybe you get the Emperor involved as some sort of Force ghost mentor to Snoke, or whatever). It follows on much more naturally from TLJ, because it doesn’t have to spend the first 30 minutes doing major course corrections. Finn and Rey get together, only for one of them to be killed off… or were they?

Can’t remember if it’s in the movie too, but in the book, the speed starts to make him paranoid that he’s doing too well and might get the job 😁

That’s the Chieftain’s Shield which has always been my favourite Asterix book, since I was little. Love it ❤️

Yay! 😁

Not sure if you’re a fan of the Redlettermedia guys, but they did three videos reviewing every Carpenter movie - might be interesting :-)

Ha ha, wow, someone at the Simpsons is an MST3K fan, I think.

A fairly disastrous set of outcomes described in the comments so far.

Thank goodness though, that you didn’t ask about there being no springs.

Just so you know, The Sun is a truly shitty horrible, lying rag of a paper - if you’re not from the UK, you wouldn’t know of course, so no criticism, just FYI 🙂

Are we including electromagnets? If so, an awful lot of motors would suddenly just not work anymore.

Great tune!

Good shout - OP, this is probably the one.

Oh yeah! I’d forgotten people used to do that - not seen that in ages.

Oh wow - I thought it was a cool pic through a hole maybe 2 feet tall. Then I saw the person! Absolute /peopleforscale moment. Always liked that subreddit, not sure if there’s a Lemmy equivalent.

And that’s the doves. The hawks are more like…
