History WMG / Lightyear

* There will be a wealthy ActionGirl who has a OverprotectiveDad who will be a stand-in for Princess Mira Nova.

* Think about it, this solves the canon/continuity issues, especially as they relate to the whole “I am your father” thing. Since Zurg is really just Buzz Senior, he IS Buzz Junior’s father, from a certain point of view. It also explains why the Zurg toy boxes say “Evil Emperor Zurg” on them, even though the movie we saw had no evil empire in it. The empire, and planet killer weapon, comes later. So the Buzz and Zurg toy’s weren’t wrong about their own story, they were just referencing further developments.

** The Filmmakers made a scene with a bigger, more prominent kiss as CensorBait. After getting told to change ''that'', the smaller kiss [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar just sailed right past the radar]].

*** With his parents present, ready to shield his eyes during the "bad stuff." It was rated R, not X or NC-17.

[[WMG:We did actually see the real Zurg and that is the suit.]]
* Old Buzz claimed that he found the ship along with the suit and robots inside but what if it was more than a ship; it's a prison. When Old Buzz went in and took the suit, he did not realize that the suit contains an A.I. or the "soul" of the real Emperor Zurg. Ever since then Zurg became TheCorrupter to Old Buzz causing him to become the villain we know in the film.

*** This movie, in the unlikely event that it had been made in the 1990s, would not be R-rated and would definitely not be hard R. There were gay characters in comedies and Oscar bait in the 90s that had PG-13 ratings (My Best Friend's Wedding, Clueless, Mrs. Doubtfire, Philadelphia, and As Good as it Gets, although that one was originally rated R and got a PG-13 on appeal) and none of the violence in ''Lightyear'' is the kind that gets an R (for goodness' sake, this is a movie where no human dies onscreen and the mooks are robots). I strongly doubt that the MPAA of the 1990s would let a movie with gay characters get a G or PG, but R is an exaggeration.

* [[spoiler:Buzz briefly mistakes his older self for his father (a clear shoutout to the ''Toy Story 2'' gag), but it's never brought up again.]]

** '''Jossed'''. [[spoiler:Zurg is an older Buzz from an alternate future.]]

* Confirmed. [[spoiler:Zurg is Buzz from an alternate future, still obsessed with completing his mission.]]

* [[spoiler:Does the part halfway through the movie where Mo nearly breaks him count?]]

* [[spoiler:Closer than you think: he ''is'' Buzz.]]

* '''Jossed''', at least in regards to being an alien. He is, however, organic, [[spoiler: being Buzz himself from the future]].

[[WMG: Zurg"s plan that is revealed in the book, but no reason is revealed(minor spoiler)]]
Zug [[spoiler: took Lightyear alive and his plan is to change the past]], this clearly made Zurg a bit of a negative reflection of Buzz Lightyear.

[[WMG: [[spoiler: Future Buzz defeated the real Zurg and turned him into a mech suit.]]]]
* Spoilers ahead; [[spoiler: Future Buzz is every bit as human as his present self, and as such could not survive in space with a deactivated robot suit, yet it comes back online in the post credits scene. Thus, it's possible that the original Zurg, who Buzz met in deep space, attacked Buzz(who was still heroic at that point), was beaten by him, and Buzz decided to use his resources to start looking more into time travel. And now, thanks to Future Buzz, Zurg exists in this timeline ''much'' earlier than he was supposed to.]]

** It wouldn't be the first R-rated movie franchise to have toy tie-in merchandise. We also have the likes of ''Film/Robocop1987'', ''Film/PoliceAcademy'', ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'', and even ''Franchise/{{Rambo}}'' as examples. This would explain [[spoiler: Commander Hawthorn's same-sex marriage]] in a film allegedly released in TheNineties.

[[WMG:[[spoiler:Future Buzz/Zurg will become the leader of an anti-Star Command empire.]]]]
[[spoiler:Zurg is working by himself in the film and has nothing more than a CoolStarship, but is referred to as ''Emperor'' Zurg in the ''Toy Story'' films, meaning he will presumably gain allies and territory in a sequel.]]

Spoilers ahead;[[spoiler: Since Zurg in the movie was an alternate future version of Buzz]], it's possible that the real Emperor Zurg will appear in a sequel.

Spoilers: [[spoiler: Future Buzz assumes the robots are saying Zurg because they can't pronounce Buzz. It's possible they're saying Zurg because they were programmed to by the real Emperor Zurg.]]

Instead, it is a 2020s reimagining/reboot of a 1990s sci-fi franchise akin to Star Wars. The characterization of Zurg [[spoiler:as an alternate future version of Buzz]] is completely different from the Darth Vader-esque parody established in the first two Toy Story movies. Even if you consider that [[spoiler:the "real" Zurg might still be somewhere out there]], Toy Story in 1995 has Buzz mention that Zurg has a planet-destroying superweapon like the Death Star, which is not featured in this movie ([[spoiler:instead, the threat comes from the ethics of time travel and "erasing timelines"]]).

[[WMG:[[spoiler: Future Buzz has become Emperor Zurg after his defeat.]]]]
* Spoilers ahead; [[spoiler: After Buzz defeated Zurg, otherwise known as his alternate counterpart, by blowing up the crystal and him along with it, it's possible that the resulting explosion could've fused Future Buzz to the whole Zurg mech suit itself, thus not only being the birth of the true Evil Emperor Zurg, but destroying the old Buzz in the process.]]
[[WMG:[[spoiler: Evil Emperor Zurg — [[Series/DoctorWho the original, you might say]] — ''was'' Buzz's father.]]]]
[[spoiler:A brilliant engineer and computer scientist, [[DisappearedDad he abandoned Buzz]], when he was young, to go out into space. This influenced Buzz's decision to become a Space Ranger — partially, to find him. But he never did (space is big, it turns out). At least, not Hero!Buzz. See, Papa Lightyear feared death so much, [[BrainUploading he uploaded his brain]] to his own robot suit. As the centuries passed, he formed his own Evil Empire. Eventually, Zurg!Buzz stumbled upon him in Sector Z, almost as if by cruel fate. He deactivated the suit's AI and made it into his own. But the explosion — which killed Zurg!Buzz — reactivated the AI, reawakening the original, Evil Emperor Zurg. Buzz's own father.]]

** Jossed

[[WMG: Zurg is a woman.]]
There will be a twist. Not only is Zurg a female human, but she will be revealed as Hawthrone. The people who made the toys assume he was an evil alien warlord, not realizing she was a traitorous human inside a suit.
* '''Jossed'''.

[[WMG: Whoever built Zurg and the Z-bots had good intentions]]

[[WMG: Zurg's robots are based on the hornets from the 2000 animated series]]
They look like updated versions of cartoon Zurg's hornet robots.
