George Lucas is a time traveler and I actually wrote Star Wars | Chris & Jack

[@ChrisandJack]

Confession: we're time travelers ourselves, and came back in time after stealing this premise from a great youtube sketch duo who we can't name for legal reasons. So tell us, what would you time-travel-plagiarize if you had the chance? Winner gets sent back in time. (And psst, if you'd like to see some deleted scenes from this sketch, a director's commentary and more-- or if you just wanna help us keep making this kind of stuff--check out our patreon: www.patreon.com/chrisandjack )

[@2nd-place]

What would I plagiarize? Grays Sports Almanac, Complete Sports Statistics, 1950-2000. Just kidding. I would only get kind of rich at first, because if the same person kept winning, they would definitely shut down gambling entirely. And even if they didn't, who would bet on something when they're almost always going to lose to the same guy? I would steal Jurassic Park, and make sure it was released on July 6th, 1993 instead of June 9, 1993. I don't care if it was on a Tuesday after the 4th of July holiday weekend!

[@AbbreviatedReviews]

In the original Kenneth Bell movie, they fell into a trash incinerator rather than a compactor, but in the mid 70s, Towering Inferno was so popular that George felt he had to change it and created the iconic trash compactor scene in the process.

[@timopper5488]

That’s totally understandable. Plus, I remember from my Time Adjustment & Manipulation class in third grade that the incinerator scene was modeled a little bit on the wood chipper scene in Fargo, obviously with some creative license on the part of King Bell of Earth.

this is the pilot and the entire show is about Kenneth trying to revert the timeline back to the one where he wrote Star Wars, and every time it almost works. Eventually he does invent time travel (turns out he wrote Back to the Future too and the Flux Capacitor is based on his own device) but it still doesn't work. In the season 1 finale, he enlists the aid of Lucas' 2053 Canadian team and it turns out that the Force Ghost of George Lucas has been shutting down his attempts to fix the timeline this whole time. Season 2 is about the team trying to stop Lucas and fix the timeline once and for all. yeah I would watch that
