i want to see a star wars movie where grizzled rebel insurgents take imperial officer's family members hostage and blackmail the impy officers in to subverting the empire in some way

then the rebels record proof of the subversion and blackmail the officer further until they defect out of lack of choice or get exposed and executed

also a jedi is on screen for like a second but is sprayed down at all angles with laser fire and dies screaming in anguish

I always wondered if there were like hosed up rebels. Like they bomb/or shoot up schools with imperial ties or kill families of officers or something. maybe like a suicide bomb a movie theater showing a imperial holofilm.

Does anyone actually externally react like that when they see something they like. I got a bit tingly when the music played and the Falcon showed up but looking at me you'd have no idea if I loved or hated the trailer.

lol "Oh yes and I forgot to mention my first name is Sheeeev."

I didn't care at all because my interest in star wars is pretty much non-existant atm aside from this thread but if this was pre-2000ish I would've been annoyingly stoked about it. I probably will end up seeing it though

Palpatine was not given a first name in any canonical or Star Wars Legends source until 2014, when the character's first name—Sheev—was revealed in the novel Tarkin by James Luceno.[18] The Lucasfilm Story Group approached Del Rey and asked if they wanted to use the name, which was created by George Lucas, in the Tarkin novel, to which Del Rey agreed.[35]

Apparently the idea is that now there "is" no EU. That is, there's no tiers of canon now. Everything from here on out is supposed to be equally canonical.

Not that I know of. In the "Republic Commando" book series a Clone Commando and a Jedi have a kid and later it becomes a Mandalorian.

I bet that this won't last very long because there is no way new Star Wars books aren't going to be just as garbage as their predecessors.

Clone/Jedi Mandalorian, is there a more obvious original character do not steal for star wars? I guess they could also be a smuggler.

People who know a lot about the EU: tell me about non-force users using lightsabers. Does it happen much? Is it at all cool or funny?

I don't think it is very common at all. The only instance I can think of off the top of my head was when Boba Fett used a green lightsaber when he fought Darth Vader in a comic once.

Not only that, but it was Jedi master Sifo-Dyas' (yes, THAT Sifo-Dyas) blood. But it didn't work, so no force for Grievous.

I had always assumed that the plot point about Sifo-Dyas in Episode II was clearly intended as "Someone impersonating Sifo-Dyas [SIDIOUS] placed the order." Of course the EU then ran with this Sifo-Dyas character, who is never seen on-screen, and created an incomprehensible and awful backstory for him.

Fake Edit: Yeah I was right:

quote:

In early drafts of Attack of the Clones, the name of the Jedi who contacted the Kaminoans was Sido-Dyas, pointing to a likely early conceptual connection to Darth Sidious. However, interestingly, "Sifo-Dyas" appears in one place, apparently as a typing mistake (as the D and F letters are located next to each other on a QWERTY keyboard) that Lucas later preferred to the original name.[11]

In addition, "Sido-Dyas" was originally only a false identity for Sidious—Obi-Wan Kenobi claimed never to have heard of him, and Mace Windu confirmed that there was no Jedi by that name.[11]

His backstory was promised by George Lucas to be revealed in Revenge of the Sith,[12] but instead was explained in the lead-in novel Labyrinth of Evil.
