Amid the 1970s, a youthful George Lucas worked away at the script for a science fiction/fantasy space opera he’d probably titled The Star Wars. In 1974, he had a truly strong screenplay. The script had trained knights utilizing laser swords, an underhanded Empire, and a huge fortress in space. However, this Star Wars was not at all like the movies we know and love presently. As it is, in 2013, Dark Horse Comics published a version of Lucas’ unique screenplay, and we got the chance to perceive how Lucas’ original vision advanced into what we eventually witnessed on screen. For ardent Star Wars fans, some of the differences are amazing. We have ten of them listed right here for you;
1. Kane and Annikin Starkiller
The heroes and their roles move around a bit in this initial draft. Kane Starkiller is a Jedi-Bendu who lives on a desolate moon with his sons, Deak and Annikin. Kane is almost a cyborg now, after his many fights left him with just a head and an arm. After Deak is murdered by an unexpected Sith assault, Kane and Annikin escape to Aquilae so that Annikin can finish his Jedi-Bendu training with Luke. Shadows of Anakin Skywalker’s demeanor from Attack of the Clones are exceptionally obvious here. However, instead of the Jedi braid, Annikin sports a mullet/man bun combination.
2. Luke Skywalker is Old
In The Star Wars, Luke Skywalker is a bearded old man of 60 and a general on Aquilae. This is one of a couple of planets not taken over by the Empire. Furthermore, he’s a Jedi-Bendu. These are a group of warriors who were at one time the sworn defenders of the Emperor yet have absconded and are being chased by the Sith. In A New Hope, not very many Jedi are left, and their numbers are diminishing. The Force isn’t a supernatural, universal energy in this version. However, saying “May the force of others be with you” is essentially the “keep it real” or “smell you later” of the universe.
