Something I posted elsewhere:
POD: 1970s: A healthy Leigh Brackett pitches an interesting twist to George Lucas.
1980: Audiences are somewhat taken aback when, during the confrontation scene between Vader and Luke, Vader takes Luke's head off like an offending dandelion flower. Now the fate of the Rebel Alliance, rescuing Han and all that jazz rests on the shoulders of the last Jedi, Leia.
