Definition of the word headcanon for those who need it: “Headcanon is a word used in film/television/comics/etc. fandom that refers to something a fan imagines about the characters (such as a scenario or relationship) but that doesn’t appear on screen/on the page.” (source: Merriam-Webster)
Here are some of my SW headcanons:
Garringo: Why is Garringo in jail in the beginning of the film? My hc is that he got into an argument with a corrupt politician/army officer/sheriff etc. and beat him up.
Day of Anger: Scott Mary’s age isn’t revealed, but I can’t help but think that he’s a teen, maybe a 16-year-old. Scott has been through a lot, but still has that childlike curiosity, will to learn and even playfulness in him.
Arizona Colt and A Pistol for Ringo: I like to think that Arizona Colt and Ringo are the same guy. Arizona Colt had some character development and eventually became Ringo. He’s still cocky and greedy, but not as much as before.
My headcanon started from the line “And the woman who was waiting for his return” in the Angel Face song. Who is waiting for Ringo’s return? Definitely not Ruby because he didn’t like Ringo that much and is getting married to the sheriff anyway. Could it be Jane from Arizona Colt? The man just rides away at the end of the film, and Jane stays in the town waiting for him to return.
Interesting @I_love_Cat_Stevens, headcanon sounds quite a bit like backstory actually, though I’m sure there’s a difference.
As to Garringo, it is hinted at by his superior officers and a few of his colleagues that he’s something of a loose cannon and hothead who plays by his own set of rules, so I imagine his being locked up was for either disobeying orders or getting into a fight.
Had Lou Castel been casted as Scott Mary in Day of Anger, that theory of him being a teenager to 18 would make perfect sense as Castel had very boyish features even when he was 30
Arizona Colt and A Pistol for Ringo has enough info to work I believe, a very interesting what if type of scenario there.
I don’t normally do headcanons myself, but I do like to speculate on certain things in films, like if Clint Eastwood really was playing the same guy in The Dollars Trilogy and just going by different names, or if they were all separate unconnected characters who just shared some similar traits.
That sounds like something Garringo would do I’ve seen the English and Spanish versions, but don’t remember the reason being revealed. I think I’ll watch some other language dubs and see what I’ll find
After watching Four Candles for My Colt I have another Garringo related headcanon
My headcanon is that Lt. “Garringo” Harris from Garringo and Sheriff Frank Garringo from Four Candles for My Colt are related: Same name (In Garringo it seems to be just a nickname though, but for me it’s a connection ) and both men are violent with short temper.
In the end of FCfMC the cavalry also comes to help the Sheriff. Maybe it was easy for Frank to get some help from the army because his relative happens to be the Lieutenant
