The LOST Star Wars Sequel (Splinter of the Mind's Eye)

- Despite now being a worldwide phenomenon, Star Wars was not always a guaranteed hit. Even its creator George Lucas was unsure how his weird little space movie would do, but he did always know that he wanted to make a Sequel to it. So, just in case he was able to make Episode V but it couldn't live up to his vision of The Empire Strikes Back, Lucas commissioned a draft for a low-budget Episode 5 just in case. The result was Splinter of the Mind's Eye by Alan Dean Foster and even though Star Wars became a smash success, they didn't want the outline to go to waste... and so, it was released as a book and the very first entry in the Star Wars Expanded Universe and later adapted into a comic book. So, let's take a look at the beginning of Star Wars Legends and the lore it added to the universe... at the Adventures of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa and their droids R2-D2 and C-3PO against the evil Darth Vader

An alternate universe where Vader never ended up being Anakin seems so impossible, I can’t believe it ever existed.
Right!? It's so weird seeing the original ideas. There's a comic book adaptation of George Lucas' original script that's just so wild and out there and nothing like the Star Wars we know and love today haha
@@FullMotionVideos hi
Any idea what that comic book is called ?
@@FullMotionVideos I think Vader being Anakin/Luke's dad was a later addition but the redemption of a Vader like character had been in the earlier drafts of the film for a very long time.
@@wolfie819 It’s a short comic series called “The Star Wars”
@@ImTheReverse "The Journal of The Whills: the adventures of Luke Starkiller".
I read this book back in the late 1970s when it first came out. Not knowing at all that Luke and Leia turning out to be siblings and Darth Vader their father.
I read this novel as soon as it was published! No one knew thre would be an "Empire S B". I wish "Splinter" would be come an animated film!
It’s pretty clear to me that The Force Awakens drew from this story - Leia trying to fight the dark villain without the force by using Anakin’s lightsaber is like Finn, when she loses Luke steps in and demonstrates amazing force/fighting abilities with no training like Rey, and then the force healing becomes a major plot point in the sequels. Interesting!
Love these dives into legends cannon, would really like to see the next part of the Thron trilogy since you asked.
Just waiting on the audiobook so I can re-read (re-listen lol) before jumping into this one! Absolutely on the list still :)
Can’t wait for you to cover the next two novels in the thrawn trilogy! I just ordered the entire thrawn trilogy so i could read it myself!
*Thrawn
I bought this book when it came out. Either my junior or senior year of HS.
Fantastic videos, the production quality on these is insane. I'm more interested in Star Wars because of your videos. Please keep them coming!!
That's awesome, glad I could inspire an interest in one of my favorite franchises! There are a ton of weird stories in the Star Wars universe, so I'll definitely be looking into them more :)
Interesting Princess Leia fighting with a lightsaber before anyone knew that she had force sensibilities. Yet, she survived against Darth Vader. Although, she entirely lost the battle.
What is your opinion on the Leia vs Vader fight?
@@cristiamjulianayalape I liked reading about it in Splinter of the mind's eye. I first read the book when I was a kid in the late 1970s. Of course, at that time I didn't know that Leia was Luke's brother and Vader's daughter.
@@jeffreyconner2937 It was pretty cool but too short.
@@cristiamjulianayalape Alan Dean Foster, who wrote the book, obviously didn't know that Leia would have force abilities eventually.
@@jeffreyconner2937 I guess that reading it now it's kind of funny.
Vader really tripped and fell into a ditch lol
The fact that he trips over his arm still gets me 😂 but that’s not the biggest thing for me
It’s the fact that Luke fights Vader and WINS 😂 and he SEES Vader’s mechanical arm…so that’s character development☝️ and the reveal✌️ out the window.
Disappointing…if not for those little things this could be canon
I want an Animated Splinter of the mind's eye to be made.
Maybe like a animated Star Wars short film on Disney+
This seems like a Star Trek episode artificially extended to movie length rather than a full movie in and of itself
Enthralling vid and cant wait for more star wars lore. Thank you FMV see you around!
Thank you so much!! There'll be a ton more in the future, I have a ton of Star Wars stories I want to cover :)
I have/love this book, for I'm a loyal fan of the Original Star Wars saga and I think with a few modifications to the story this would have been a great movie and we still do THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and not only would it enhance the Star Wars saga but also we would have an original Quartet as opposed to a Trilogy.
I feel like it would be better for it to be an animated short film on Disney+ one day
Wow. Wow. I can't get over how much they plucked from this story. Fantastic,
To be honest, there's not too much that couldn't be considered canon. A few minor tweaks and this perfectly fits into the timeline of the original Star Wars lore. Not a mind-blowing story, but still great!
Ik it would be a cool short animated film on Disney+
Thanks for creating this!
Great video man would love to see more star wars legends videos forsure!👌
Thank you!! Already writing the next one, and I have four or five stories I know I'm going to be covering for sure ;)
Amazing video. Well done.
This could be adapted as a story set between Empire and Jedi.
No explaining needed for why Solo isnt around.
Keep Vader but swap out his fight with Leia and use Lumiya instead.
Luke could go on to use the crystal for his new saber in Jedi.
real nice take on this. thx for uploadin this
Thank you for watching! I apprecaite it :)
Here is a like and a sub. This is where the fun begins!
That would have been quite an interesting sequel, and it does not sound all that cheap to make, cheaper than Empire Strikes Back perhaps but still.
Its a good story, but it does nothing to further the plot of the trilogy.
A comic book suits it perfectly.
I read this book as a kid.
What do you think now as an adult?
@@cristiamjulianayalape
I think I was in fifth grade. It was in the 70’s. I really don’t remember it. I just remember buying it from the Bookmobile.
@@leslie3937 Did you loss it?
@@cristiamjulianayalape I haven’t seen the book in decades.
@@leslie3937 Wow!
I'm glad the sequel we got in film is different from this, this just sounds like a bunch of generic crap. Interesting to see how Return of the Jedi got force lightning from this, and how Dagobah appears to be inspired by this book's setting.
Oh my god you're amazing!
I know a lot about star wars but I didn't know about this
Nice, this is cool
You forgot when he covered laya in mud.
Do you think that Hala was one of the earliest versions of master Yoda?
Naw, but YO MOMMA was.
@@jnnx Excuse me...
Can you do more of these plz i like the way you go through the story.
Thank you! Don't worry, I already have two more scripted. :) They're just VERY long and taking a lot of time to record and edit
@@FullMotionVideos ok thanks
its cool how many details ended up in the later movies, such as force lightning, kyber crystals, and anakin/vaders mechanical arm
this feels sorta like an indiana jones movie and i wonder of george got some inspiration from sotme
At their core, Star Wars AND Indiana Jones are just B movie serials from the 30’s-40’s. They are pretty much the same, one is just set in a modern era, with modern tropes.
Yes, they should make this into a canonical movie that bridges "Rogue One" and "Empire Strikes Back" to the Original Movie... Star Wars. It would just answer soooooooo many questions raised by following movies.
Maybe it could work somehow.
like what kind of questions, i personally don't see much
Yet another reason to thank the gods for Empire Strikes Back.
Were Lucas ideas always that bad?
Quick someone adapt it into a fan film and add A Star Wars Story to it as a nod to the attempts of the past.
A great story but Vader is kinda treated like a villain from a funny cartoon rather than an unstoppable monster!
I have this as a book I picked up for 20c Falling apart but was worth it for the fun story.
RIGHT!? Star Wars is full of these cool little weird stories, and I love them
massive dune inspiration from this story
Sooooo.... how was this supposed to be cheaper than Empire Strikes Back? I mean, it actually seems more expensive with all the massive set building and jungle location shooting.
Less CGI, barely any vehicle rigging, they were going to build minimal sets and use fog to hide them, no Harrison Ford, etc.
Dont let the word "jungle" and this video's visuals decieve you. This movie wouldve been 90 minutes of running around in a forest with props from the first film doing basically nothing -- like most cheap 70s sequels.
Great book, In fact I did a school book report on it. ... Got a B! LOL!
It does not matter anymore does it. Disney took over the franchise... Buried it.. And nothing about Star Wars remains... The fans have become the legacy basically. Legend and "non-canon".
The story is still there, and you can go read it. It matters as long as you feel like it matters. :)
Dang good book
Only those who know,know.🙂
Y’know what really kinda annoys me aside from how Vader literally trips over his own arm? 😂
It’s the fact that Luke fights Vader and WINS 😂 AND he SEES Vader’s mechanical arm…so that’s character development☝️ and the arm reveal✌️ out the window.
Disappointing…if not for those little things this could be canon
Would love to see a George Lucas directed animated version of this.
This story sounds like every pre-2010s Disney animated sequel.
Lower the stakes.
Cheapen the budget and thus, the settings.
Downsize the character ensemble.
Cinderella 3 is kinda a outlyer there cause evil step mother uses magic and time travel
@@vukmijatovicIt would fit pretty well into the 2010s (and beyond) Disney sequels. These days, they’re at least somewhat original and don’t feel like a complete downgrade.
man what a dull story, so glad they went with Empire
Well George always wanted to go with Empire but this was a backup in the likely chance the first movie wasn’t successful which it was
If I can help with content hit me up
So basically poor man's Dune
It’s almost like Star Wars is heavily based on many sci-fi stories George likes and he’s been very open and honest about that…
This story makes Vader look weak.
Asking for likes and subscribes instantly earned you a thumbs down.
Sad to hear that! Hope you still enjoyed the content of the video :)
Goodbye.
