Awwww yeah.with Johnson being drafted first overall that summer by the Chicago Bulls.
I doubt I’d take that trade personally, but I’m not a Chicagoan (though def have a soft spot for both the Bulls and “Da Bears”)Awwww yeah.
Likely means no Jordan but getting Magic is a wonderful consolation prize.
It is just that drafting Jordan was a bit a perfect storm. You needed a bad Bulls team to get a top pick, Jordan himself to leave a year early, and Portland needed to shit the bed a pick prior. Replicating all that is too much to ask in a timeline.I doubt I’d take that trade personally, but I’m not a Chicagoan (though def have a soft spot for both the Bulls and “Da Bears”)
Indeed. Plus sports PODs are really fun to explore, anyways!It is just that drafting Jordan was a bit a perfect storm.

Open to suggestions on this front; I’m not a huge Star Wars buff (though I’ve seen them all)I wonder how different ESB and ROTJ will be?
Replace Endor with Kashyyyk. I don't have a problem with the Ewoks or appealing to kids, but it just feels like a missed opporitunity especially since the Chewbacca connection adds personal stakes. Plus a bunch of Storm Troopers getting bull rushed by Wookies would be both kickass and hysterical.Open to suggestions on this front; I’m not a huge Star Wars buff (though I’ve seen them all)
This is a great idea.Replace Endor with Kashyyyk.

Maybe Harrison Ford gets his wish and Han goes out in a blaze of glory? Or Luke turns leaving Leia to have to rise to train as a Jedi to counter him if we want to consider the even darker potential ending?I think George and Pop culture in general would be a lot more depressed so ROTJ would be a lot darker. Maybe even more than ESB
I’m open to input from anyone with ideas/strong feelings on this one, and will incorporate into canonMaybe Harrison Ford gets his wish and Han goes out in a blaze of glory?

After Chappaquiddick he didn't really have the fire in his belly; it was only his frustration with Carter that led to him making the plunge, and even then it was thought of as a way to nudge Peanut to the left. Here he's got a smorgasbord of people he can work with once/if they're in the WH; Teddy loved being a Senator.A bit disappointed Teddy isn’t running, but I get it
They're fighting over ashes. No way is a R candidate gonna win in TTL's 1980. This election is going to be a landslide for better or worse.
Well, we'll see! The conservative backlash of the 1970s wasn't *just* about Carter, after all. The cultural undercurrent reacting to the 1960s and 1970s powered Reagan rather than the other way around. The electoral headwinds do face the opposite direction here, though, even if the cultural headwinds still blow against the counterculture and the hangover 70s.There's no way that the 1980's election has nearly the effect for the Republican party that it did OTL. In the best case scenario I imagine three or four seats shifting, but not in a landslide like that. This primary is going to be a hell of a thing, and I can't wait to see who the Democrats put up.
