Oh, it's Darth Revan. Or more charitably, a combination of Darth Vader and RotJ Luke.

What a horrible thread to have a post.
I just tuned into that stream and some dude was staring into the camera and slowly clapping his hands. Then the feed cut out. Hope somebody GIF'd that.

And there was about 2000 people watching it. I can't wait to see what the numbers look like in a couple of hours.

Even as an 11 year old I rolled my eyes at Maul's design. He's evil? Just like... the devil! Let's give him devil horns! No, more horns! More! Xtreme horns!

It'll be interesting to see how they explain the Empire's continued survival.

The posters make it seem like there are still full armies of Stormtroopers.

The leaked info I read says that the Empire didn't survive, all of the worlds split up and form their own factions and alliances and are now fighting for control of the galaxy. So the civil war pretty much continued right after the Empire fell. Just now it's just as violent and bad as the previous two.

I know the EU doesn't matter anymore, but I thought it handled that issue pretty well. When the Emperor and Vader died there were Grand Moffs and other warlord types(like Thrawn) who filled the power-vacuum and were able to continue to be a pretty powerful force. Keep in mind that a Star Destoyer would have thousands and thousands of troops on it, and the Empire even had ships that were bigger than that. With all that set up it was perfectly feasible that someone with a good fleet and the right title could have an army of Stormtroopers in the six figures.

Holy poo poo, look at that new shuttle! It looks like the wings must rotate instead of fold, I'm guessing.

These make me nostalgic for lovely K W Jeter novels.

I immediately thought of the Japanese Rising Sun Flag when I saw the new Imperial Symbol (assuming that's what it is).

Only difference so far is the US feed has logos on the bottom corners for the SW Celebration and "powered by Verizon".

I'm just keeping both up until things get started and it looks like everything is working.

Probably the typical distribution rights issues that keeps non-US viewers from accessing a lot of streaming material.
