Star Wars Edit

Star Wars Edit.

Dooku is set up as a patsy by Palpatine, but he isn't strictly a  villain. He sets up the clone army in secret after being persuaded by Palpatine to leave the Jedi and take up his position of Count.

When the army's existence is exposed the various conglomerates with their own private droid armies get together to support an insurrection. Dooku is arrested and charged with treason by the Jedi. He is murdered by Anakin before he can face trial, with the blame going to the mysterious Sith lord. 

Maul manages to survive Naboo and rises to the leader of the insurrection only to be betrayed by Palpatine during his own kidnap by Grievous: he throws Kenobi's lightsaber at Maul while still in manacles through an obvious use of the Force. Kenobi does not witness this because he is unconscious but Palpatine's identity as Sidious has been revealed to Anakin.

Westeros 2

One thing which bothers me about ASOIAF/GOT  is the height of the Wall and the fact that people have been able to cross over it. Not just stone-age Wildlings but that the (supposedly under-manned and under-funded) Night’s Watch were not only able to get to the top of the Wall but actually place defences on the top!  The Wall is actually so high that people would get blown off by the wind on a regular basis! It is established in the books that the Wall (which is 700 feet high and 300 miles long) protects itself, so perhaps this is more of a plot hole. OK, so let's imagine that the Wall is, actually (more like) 300 feet high and 150 miles long, while some parts of it have fallen down. At these parts the Night's Watch have their fortifications. Specifically Castle Black, Mole's Fort which basically contains a trebuchet and Eastwatch, where the Wall is a consistent 200 feet high and extends 60 feet into the Narrow Sea  There are a number of abandoned castles on the W...

Fan theories 2

Just as Childhood's End (first theory) could be viewed as a prelude or explanation of many SF fictional universes (the "Overmind" is the Force in Star Wars, among others) the film AI could be a seen as a mythological version of the founding of The Culture -in particular the "panhumans" described as being abundant in the (well "our") galaxy and beyond.  At the film's epilogue, all the humans had been killed as a result of a new Ice Age but the descendants (so to speak) of the film's "mechas" (intelligent androids) remain. It could be conceivable that a similar event actually happened in Earth's distant past. A race of hominids, perhaps unknown in the fossil record, invented and heavily utilised, artificial intelligence just before their civilisation was destroyed in an ice age. Of course, a few survivors could have left Earth in spaceships before this happened, but the main point is that the AIs which survived were able to crea...

Fan Theories Seven

Star Trek's  Data had a field commission before attending Starfleet Academy. This website points out that    Data  joined Starfleet shortly (2341 CE) after being rescued but was still at the academy in 2378*. If both dates** are correct then perhaps Data didn't become a officer until 2278 because he joined as an enlisted man. At some point either he was required to serve on the bridge or as part of an away team. Both require an officer's commission to participate so I would imagine that Data was given a field commission by his commanding officer (the captain of the Trieste?) in order to do so. To be promoted further Data then had to attend the academy. It is possible that Miles  O'Brien went through the same process but that he declined academy attendance in order to take the position of Transporter Chief on the USS Enterprise-D. On closer inspection I appear to be wearing loafers. *The first series of Star Trek: The Next Generation a...
