The MSJ posted:It's more than a dualsaber. As lukewarm as I am on the series so far, I really like the logic the show runners gave for the Inquisitor's lightsaber design. The Inquisitor is a Force user, but he isn't a Sith, and he isn't anywhere close to being on their level in terms of either power or skill. So, like Grievous before him, he compensates for his inadequacies by employing flashy, over-complicated lightsaber gimmicks that are really only useful for intimidation purposes. Also, it's just plain goofy-looking. And I'm always a fan of that.

And just like with Grievous, once you get past the intimidation aspect, there's suddenly a really obvious and simple solution to deal with it:

My very favorite part of the prequel trilogy is Obi-wan taking out Grievous Indiana Jones style with a blaster after he does all his literally flashy moves. My favorite part ends with him throwing away said blaster without recognizing its intrinsic value, unlike Jones who puts the pistol that saved his life right back on his hip.

redshirt posted:"Good"? Even though he stabbed Han in the back? He did let them take Han away but that also was clearly when he pivoted away, and you can't blame the man for not fighting Darth Vader over what may have been an already-dead guy. After they left Cloud City as far as I know there's no evidence he was anything other than a valiant Rebel. Lando did nothing wrong.

Nessus posted:Lando was a wealthy and connected person who briefly wavered under massive Imperial pressure and then joined the Rebellion with a full throttle, helping with the escape of a Rebel dignitary and the last surviving Jedi Knight. (Well, Yoda, but) His only "crime" was not immediately resisting overwhelming force. Lando was a flashily dressed new-money charmer that ultimately returned to his scoundrelly ways to be a sidekick fighting The Man, in a film released at the safe tail-end of the blaxploitation craze. There's not much more to him than that.

The one true Objectivist hero of Star Wars is clearly Nute Gunray. Dude decided space taxes were too high, went Galt by refusing to carry out his shipping contract with Naboo, and was prepared to let an entire planet starve to death to prove his point. That's a man with principles.

All SW literature and comics are now canon with the movies. I'm guessing they'll be able to get away with that for now more easily since it's all pre-TFA between movies gap fillers. I'm sure they'll begin to run into problems once they start doing the one-shot movies which will take place throughout the PT/OT/ST time periods.
