Chairman Capone posted:I actually thought the comic adaptation of the Thrawn novel was one of the rare occasions where a comic adaptation was better than the original. I don't think either one was great, but I think the adaptation's art added a lot, while also trimming out a lot of unnecessary stuff from the novel. The Vader and Aphra comics are usually good binge reads, and I've gone back to them several times over the past few years, and they hold up well

Chairman Capone posted:It's especially funny because in the new Disney canon, it was specifically stated somewhere that Vader blew up the Tantive IV after capturing it, but Abrams just disregarded it because he wanted to include it for symmetry. I think there were a few other things in TROS that also just ignored existing continuity from the books, but can't remember what by this point. The Empire reported the ship destroyed, but it was eventually found derelict, restored, and gifted back to Leia (per the TROS visual dictionary, which is basically the only way you're going to learn anything about the background for the movie, so ¯\__/¯)

Chairman Capone posted:I mean, I think we all know it's going to be something like Rey's mom's grandmother was the captain of the Disney Hotel Starship Uuuuuurrrrgh, the worst part is they've done similar things with the comics before, using them to lead into upcoming books, or to build on plot points introduced in movies (a lot of comics suddenly started caring about fuel around the time TLJ came out, for example, and after Solo, the comics were kind enough to also show off a giant fuel explosion)

Humerus posted:Luke has his saber in the flashback(s) in TLJ, but he uses Anakin's in his force projection at the end of the movie (to gently caress with Kylo). I swear it's in that little hidey hole next to Leia's when he gives that to Rey in TRoS but I've only seen it once so I can't be 100% sure. Nope, it's just Leia's in the hole, and she buries Anakin's and Leia's at the end of TROS The Last Jedi: Expanded Edition says that the green saber's now stored in Ahch-To's repository, along with the rest of Luke's belongings

Finished up Brotherhood, and similar to Master and Apprentice, noticed it has a lot of similarities with the prequel movie it's placed around Master and Apprentice had Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan safeguarding a queen Brotherhood had: - Obi-Wan and Dexter interactions - Obi-Wan going off alone on a mystery hunt - Anakin spending time with a stubborn female who tags along on his missions (with no awkward romance given she's nine this time) - Dooku working through an agent - Padme being used to forward a message to Coruscant - Obi-Wan getting apprehended and put on trial - Anakin coming in to save Obi-Wan Can't wait to see what novel they release for RotS's 20th anniversary

I've been prioritizing High Republic stuff but once I'm done with that, what should be my next read? The Ascendancy trilogy finale? Ronin? Brotherhood? Queen's Hope? Queen's Hope takes place chronologically right before Brotherhood So I'd say read the books in the reverse order of how you listed them out

Robot Style posted:I remember before Episode 9 came out, one of the more consistent fake leaks / fan theories was that the Resistance would bolster their army by reactivating an old droid factory. It could have been a nice way to bring things full circle and continue the "underdogs defeat a technologically superior enemy" theme by having the previously cutting edge droid army become the ragtag obsolete fighting force. Rebels S4 should've ended with Kalani showing up with a droid army rather than space whalesquids

quote:Cal Kestis has built a new life for himself with the crew of the Stinger Mantis. Together, Cal’s crew has brought down bounty hunters, defeated Inquisitors, and even evaded Darth Vader himself. More importantly, Merrin, Cere, Greez, and faithful droid BD-1 are the closest thing Cal has had to a family since the fall of the Jedi Order. Even as the galaxy’s future grows more uncertain by the day, with each blow struck against the Empire, the Mantis crew grows more daring.

It might've already been purged/looted, hence why the compass was in storage Given Palps' interest in reaching the World Between Worlds, I wouldn't be surprised if he thought the compass itself was a key to a gateway, but when it just led to another temple (and only that temple, as each compass was tuned to a specific point in hyperspace) he stored it away

From Star Wars Rebels (shown very briefly in S1, but not named or expanded on until S4) Short version is time travel, long version is Palpatine wants in so he can become all-powerful and gets denied It can be used to see and alter past events, although there's the possibility of throwing things out of whack if you meddle too much, but it's only been used once in canon, and will likely show up again in the Ahsoka series
