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

Is George Lucas' Star Wars the product of time travel plagiarism? Wow. In honor of May the Fourth, we present to you a very true accounting of the history of the Star Wars movies. All the characters you know and love-- Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, Rey and Kylo Ren, Han Solo and Chewbacca, The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda, Porkins and Baby Admiral Akbar, Yoda, Darth Vader, Rey, Boba Fett, Baby Baby Yoda (an even younger one) -- were they all created by someone else? In the future? And then a bunch of sci-fi stuff happened and George Lucas pretended to write Star Wars? Wow.

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.

He prevented 9/12, 9/13, and 9/14 from Ken’s timeline. Shame he missed one though.

[@letsfinishit5484]

[@andmicbro1]

He actually prevented 9/11 in September of 2000. He thought he was in the clear until 1 year later and it happened anyway.

[@Skellyflo]

Oh, no, he indirectly caused it. You see, star wars was originally meant to come out around this time. But obviously, George made it early, which lead to a convoluted string of events, that resulted in 9/11

Truck 🚛 kun bringing star wars into this timeline

[@thorwhoisacat]

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

[@timopper5488]

Weird, but the movie "Yesterday" was incepted very similarly. Jack Barth, a non-accomplished writer thought to himself once, that he would probably not be able to attain massive success even if he wrote Star Wars. Someone has been traveling in time.

That Star Wars screen swipe caught me off guard and made me burst out laughing.

[@Samst0n]

The wipe transitions and music to make it feel more Star Wars are great touches

[@InTheDeepEnd.]

The fact that “failure to launch” was already there means another time traveler made it which likely means that there is other time travelers for everything else which means that nothing is original in that universe.

2:28 i kinda like how much it fixes to put the prequels first, 3 decent movies building to a really strong second trilogy, and presumably chris never sold off to disney so his starwars wouldve stopped at 6, in which case the entire franchise would probably be remembered as really good

[@timopper5488]

Exactly. And you know all the people in our current timeline who, even after the Disney sequel trilogy came out were saying that there’s only six Star Wars movies? Well, those people are from Sir Kenneth Bell’s timeline! (He gets knighted by robot Queen Elizabeth in 2043.)

The video mentions the ST exists in Kenneth’s timeline but with way more foreshadowing for Palpatine’s return.
