This is a little something that's been bouncing in my head for a while...
Start with Harley Quinn from Gotham City Sirens just wandering through the streets minding her own business. She finds a little girl crying outside a run-down gymnasium. Harley asks what wrong. The little girl says she just can't get the moves coach wants her to do. Harley, ex-champion gymnast, calms the girl down and slowly but surely helps the girl figure out how to do the moves.
Harley and the little girl go back inside the gym to find a frazzled, overextended coach. It's a one person operation, and there's too much to do, and not enough help or money to do it. Harley offers to help out a little bit, and quickly discovers she has a knack for coaching the girls.
Fast forward a few weeks later, and the coach has bad news. The landlord wants them out so he can convert the building to condos. Harley decides to go persuade him otherwise... like Mister J would. But just before she's about to spring her trap on the landlord, Batman heads her off with a message. Go to the warehouse district.
There she finds Bruce Wayne waiting for her. He tells Harley Batman's been keeping an eye on her, and watching her work with the girls. He heard about the landlord, and decided to help. He opens the door, and reveals a state of the art training facility, where the girls, in brand new gear, are waiting eagerly for Harley to arrive.
We fast forward again, and this is what I've been leading up to, we're at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The new Fab Five US gymnastics team are all in Harley's old costume, and Harley herself is the coach.
Someday I'd like to commission that from someone, but with six people in the picture, it's a good $200 at least.
But yeah, that's how I'd like to see the story go.

Frozen spoiler.
At the end of Frozen, Hans apparently draws a sword, and tries to kill Elsa with it. However, in the shot immediately preceding that, when he's talking to Elsa, he clearly has no sword.
I believe Elsa conjured a sword for Hans, because she wants him to kill her.

Sonic and Shadow are brothers, and after experimenting with the affects of chaos radiation Sonic warped fifty years into the future while Shadow remained to be experimented on. Neither remembers because Shadow's numerous experiments on him, and the stress of using Chaos power at such a young age induced massive mental stress on Sonic's psyche.
Makes more sense than Shadow being a cyborg alien clone.

The events of The Road to El Dorado take place and unfold the way they do because of a revolution among the gods of El Dorado. They believe that Tzekel-Kan needs to be removed but, since they cannot intervene directly (and because they have already given TK so much power), they recruit a pair of ne'er-do-wells from across the world to unseat him. All the coincidences that occur happen because of their intervention, including the ability for everyone to understand each others' language. Once the job is done, this magic evaporates, leaving a suprised Tulio and Chel suddenly unable to understand each other (though giving them something to work through while they grow as a couple) but also ensuring that Tzekel-Kan can't try to convince Cortez of the validity of his story before he is disposed of.

Forrest Gump headcanon:
Forrest wasn't actually mentally retarded. Remember, he was diagnosed in the 1950's, when developmental disorders were not well understood. Yet when we see him faced with learning new tasks, including fairly involved mechanical tasks (taking apart and reassembling his rifle in boot camp), he not only learns, but learns them well in short order. He also manages to pass through regular school at the same rate as Jenny, including graduating high school and football and even college (yes, being a football player probably helped a lot). However, he is extremely literal, socially awkward, and doesn't really grasp the bigger picture, instead focusing on what's in front of him. He also has obsessive behavior patterns - the running, mowing the grass, naming all the Bubba-Gump Shrimp Company boats "Jenny", reciting his mother's wisdom, etc.
Forrest Gump wasn't retarded. He was on the autism spectrum, probably under PDD-NOS (pervasive development disorder - not otherwise specified).

You know, actually, the headcanon of Anakin using the Force to manipulate Padme into loving him explains a lot. Why else would her expressions of love be so facile, so clingy, childish, and awkward? Because they were the result of mental influence by an immature obsessive kid who'd lost all the people who ever cared about him and never learned how to form healthy relationships. It had probably started off subconsciously on Anakin's part, but as his need grew more intense, his Will began to crush Padme's actual personality. And when he snapped and attacked her, there wasn't enough left of her psyche afterward to hold together - no wonder she collapsed like a puppet with the strings cut.

One problem I thought this theory had was that such a use of the Force would eventually be picked up by other Jedi, such as Obi-Wan or Yoda. But then I remembered that Sidious was using his Dark Side influence to hamper the Jedi's sensitivity towards the Force. That would explain why none of the other Jedi could feel Anakin's mind trick.

That... actually makes a lot of sense. We know that Anakin is capable of using the Force subconsciously or unconsciously, because he was using it to podrace before he'd even learned what the Force was. And we know that in the time between Episodes 1 and 2, Anakin was thinking about Padme obsessively. So as soon as she sees him in Episode 2, he does this unconscious Jedi mind trick, and Padme falls.You know, actually, the headcanon of Anakin using the Force to manipulate Padme into loving him explains a lot.

Force Use in and of itself might be detectable, but not necessarily what one is doing with it.

I've posted my headcanons about Star Wars before but here goes again:
The Sith are not evil. They're just unconstrained. Palpatine is an evil, manipulative person, but the Sith as a whole aren't. Even Palpatine isn't wholly evil. He genuinely cares for Anakin, as shown when he kneels concernedly next to his injured body.
But the prophecy was about Luke. He brings balance to the Force not by beating Vader and Palpatine, but by reconciling the Jedi and Sith. Luke fights the good fight, but he also does not ignore his emotion. This is a goal that Luke's entire Jedi lineage has been working for for some time. Qui-Gon is rebellious and not unemotional. Obi-Wan is traditional, but allows himself to experience emotion. Strong emotions, even, as seen when he confronts the newly minted Vader. He tells Luke that his emotions do him credit, despite the Jedi traditions. In the end, it's Luke's love for his father that breaks Palpatine's hold over them both.
I know this goes against a good deal of the EU, but that's part of the reason I never liked a of it. It violates my headcanon.

That being said, I generally consider anything written by Troy Denning to be non-canon. Invincible, in particular, is just a mean-spirited piece of fan-fiction.

It's been included in several novels, though that's probably because of Michael Stackpole - TIE Defenders definitely show up in the Rogue Squadron novels and I, Jedi. I generally liked the Rogue Squadron series, which was quite a feat because I thought the protagonist, Corran Horn, was a smug fucking prick - on numerous occasions he bluntly tells Luke Skywalker, Wedge Antilles, and Han Solo what they're doing wrong, because he knows better than they do about whatever is at hand. Aaron Allston's Wraith Squadron novels are considerably better.That opens the sticky wicket of how much are video games canon? For instance, is there really such a thing as a TIE Defender?

Restoring balance to the Force involved destroying the Sith, because they were throwing the balance out of whack.
bhamv3
The way I see it, "bringing balance" to the Force refers to returning the Force to a tranquil, peaceful state. Sort of like a scale being in balance, or a completely still and placid lake. The Sith actively and aggressively grab the Force and bend it to their will, thus disturbing the balance. The Jedi, in contrast, allow the Force to flow through them naturally, retaining its peaceful and balanced nature.I've posted my headcanons about Star Wars before but here goes again:

Why didn't the fellowship just use the Eagles to fly to Mordor?
They were going to! Gandalf secretly collaborated with the Eagles prior to the establishment of the Fellowship, when he was saved from Saruman's tower. In order for the plan to work and not fail per the Eagles being intercepted by Nazul or orc arrow, Gandalf could tell absolutely no one until the last moment. His plan was to head north after passing through Moria (originally pass of Caradharas - the northern most mountain) and meet up with the Eagles. The Fellowship at that point may have split up as to throw off any spies. The group with the ring would have flow into Mordor from the east side.
That plan went to absolute shit when Gandalf fell in Moria. He tried to convey his plan cryptically right before he fell. "Fly, you fools".

The rest of the Universe decides to quarantine our solar system so that the infection will be unable to spread.
This is the explanation for the fact that all galaxies/etc. all appear to be moving away from us at an ever-accelerating rate.

Not all of them. There are quite a few that are gravitationally bound together. The Andromeda galaxy is actually going to crash into the Milky Way in a few billion years.

Also, the EU stuff with the Sith also gets messy because in some versions, Sith is a race, not a title.

I actually viewed everything after the bottom of the ocean to be the robot kid (I can't even be bothered to remember his name) dying. The whole movie kind of deals with the idea that these artificial being may actually have souls. This was his afterlife.[DOUBLEPOST=1412602230,1412602042][/DOUBLEPOST]Going by the new definition of headcanon, the movie A.I. ended at the bottom of the ocean.
I think I posted that earlier. I don't even think it's head canon, I think that the fact that the prophecy was misinterpreted was very intentional and that it was always supposed to be Luke who was the one who brought balance to the force.I've posted my headcanons about Star Wars before but here goes again:
The Sith are not evil. They're just unconstrained. Palpatine is an evil, manipulative person, but the Sith as a whole aren't. Even Palpatine isn't wholly evil. He genuinely cares for Anakin, as shown when he kneels concernedly next to his injured body.
But the prophecy was about Luke. He brings balance to the Force not by beating Vader and Palpatine, but by reconciling the Jedi and Sith. Luke fights the good fight, but he also does not ignore his emotion. This is a goal that Luke's entire Jedi lineage has been working for for some time. Qui-Gon is rebellious and not unemotional. Obi-Wan is traditional, but allows himself to experience emotion. Strong emotions, even, as seen when he confronts the newly minted Vader. He tells Luke that his emotions do him credit, despite the Jedi traditions. In the end, it's Luke's love for his father that breaks Palpatine's hold over them both.
I know this goes against a good deal of the EU, but that's part of the reason I never liked a of it. It violates my headcanon.

Also messy in terms of race/culture confusion: Mandalorians. The original Mandalorians were aliens called the Taung who invaded from outside the Galaxy. They fought for control of Coruscant and were driven back. Eventually they settled on Mandalore, unlocking the secrets of beskar, Mandalorian Iron. They taught their human and humanoid subjects their language and culture as they began to die out, and eventually the subject races became the "Mandalorians". While the vast majority are human, there are others - Mandallian Giants, Togorians, occasionally other races. It's more of a culture than a race. And then there's the factions...

Yeah, that gets weird. Basically, the Sith were a race of near-humans during the pre-Republic and Old Republic. They were quite adept in harnessing the power of the Dark Side of the Force, and attempted to conquer the galaxy. The Jedi harnessed the power of the Living Force, as they called it, to combat the Dark Side, and defeat the Sith. However, organized Dark Side force users often attempt to follow the teaching and techniques of the Sith, and use their name as part of the legacy. So "Sith" went from a race of conquering Dark Side users, to those who followed their teachings and ambitions - ie "The Way of the Sith".I actually viewed everything after the bottom of the ocean to be the robot kid (I can't even be bothered to remember his name) dying.

Midichlorians are mitochondriae... that was the first thing that I thought when Qui-Gon was explaining them, and that's what's stuck in my head.
I'm not saying it makes SENSE, but that's what's there...

Apply one galaxy per eon to the affected area. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Side effects may include supernovae, globular clusters, and oily discharge.Thus wiping out the human infestation?

In my headcannon all life on earth was wiped out about 10 years ago and we currently exist as a psychic gestalt created by the simultaneous death of so many people unwilling to accept their own deaths. Slowly people are starting to realize this and as that happens reality we begin to unravel and we'll all go crazy.

Breaking Bad is the sequel to Malcom in the Middle.
Doesn't hold together at all, but idea is hilarious to me.
