I honestly think that the original idea in Crystal Skull really was to tie together IJ with GFFA and that Disney sees that as too risky

I dunno. I don't really see how you can pull that off in anything like a wink-wink way (see that old DH comic where Jones finds the Falcon in the Pac NW w/Solo's corpse inside, and Bigfoot is really Chewbacca).

As I've mentioned before, ET already is a bridge between universes, and the Crystal Skull aliens resemble the ET ones. It's worth digging into lore about the 90s Lucasarts video game The Dig, too, where astronauts explore a dead Galaxy and encounter alien ghosts

I dunno. I think cute Easter Eggs are fine (Threepio and Artoo in cuneiform in Raiders) but tying Star Wars to Earth is just a bad, horrible idea. Battlestar Galactica territory.

I mean, think of it like this: it's a long time ago, in a universe where we've seen things like spaceships rot away in a few thousand years. I'm assuming we're talking tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years . >

So it's not like the Millenium Falcon would end up on Earth. More that certain artifacts like the GFFA alphabet and the Force would be discovered by Earth astronauts. I don't know if there are any good let's plays of The Dig but if there are I recommend them for a glimpse

I took it to mean like mythic levels of time. Like set in another universe before our own Big Bang. Then again, based on TRoS, SW spaceships are awfully hardy.

I took it even different. "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" is the equivalent of "Once upon a time". It's a retelling of a retelling of a retelling of what might have been history at one point, but it's unknown if it ever even really happened.

Star Wars is fundamentally a pastiche of 20th Century visual culture, filtered through '30s pulp SF and mythic narrative structures. I never saw it as having any kind of implied historicity.

They tried to do a novel basically creating a George Lucas Cinematic Universe (Alien Exodus) explaining how there can be a galaxy far far away a long time ago that has recognizable humans in it etc Going with Star Wars themes it had a biblical, mythic tone, hence the title
