So, this is just a fun little collaborative timeline idea that I had. It's on a much smaller scale than many of the other ones that have been done around here (including my own PioT, see sig). The POD for this TL will be that, sometime around 1981, George Lucas and David Lynch begin working on ROTJ together. A few loose rules, though, so that this does not become chaos.
1. All postings should be related to the Star Wars series only. We won't start dealing with even direct results on other series and culture until much later, if at all.
2. Don't just post dates saying this and that happened. Given the very subjective nature of this, it would work out a lot better if everyone discussed things before we made them concrete. It's just courtesy, you know?
3. You can use a dating system, but more flavorful posts would be appreciated too.
Now, with those two things out of the way, there's many things to discuss with this sort of change. With Lynch involved in the planning process, we will most likely see a radically different film. Additionally, Lynch's shooting style is quite unique, so there could be an entirely different feel to the film. Lynch's dark styling could certainly balance out Lucas's light stuff. That should get everyone started, and then we can go from there.
