In hindsight it's incredibly lol that the emperor was killed by being picked up and dropped over a railing.

It's almost a running joke in the original trilogy that every building would be an OSHA nightmare. Obiwan deactivates the Death Star tractor beam, not a railing in sight (not to mention Luke and Leia's rope swing to safety). Vader and Luke's Bespin lightsaber fight, and then the Emperor going over a railing.

i can just imagine in 20 years, they start making episodes 10-12 and they have to declare that this EU is noncanon too but they're still making another and the audience of these movies are young enough that they've grown up with this EU and get upset that they aren't canon, but not only that but this cycle starts happening EVERY 20 years of trashing the last EU, getting a new one, and no one learning anything

i was just talking with some friends about the new star wars film and had a sudden realisation. if we go by what are apparently the galactic standard naming conventions for clones in the star wars universe, perhaps finn is a clone of a jedi named fin!?

No of course not if he was a clone of Fin he would be named Fiin. He is obviously a clone of Fnn

space motorcycle racer who gets in a gun fight with han solo after he kidnaps a space farm girl he wants to gently caress. he was given the nickname "the arrogant one" because he was arrogant. im guessing the last name was a craaazy coincidence.

Did he have a dog side kick? Follow up question: How wacky were these space motorcycle races?

Exactly. Why did the bad comic series have to be the ongoing one? Though maybe the reason why Lando and Leia were good was cuz they were only 5 issues and actually had to wrap up the whole arc in it. Lando is especially good cuz you get to see what happens to Lobot.

They just don't know when to shut the hell up. It feels more like something from 40k likely due to the overt heavy propaganda tone.

It would have been more entertaining if it was just conventional space-headphones, and he was just constantly zoned out listening to Alderaanian Space-Dubstep all the time

Grievous was IMO one of the less retarded prequel characters, though it would have been nice to get even a tiny bit of his backstory so that 90% of the people watching the movie wouldn't be left wondering why cyborg badass guy is wheezing and coughing like a lifelong smoker for no apparent reason

Grievous looked awesome in motion. They had such a neat concept with him "Turns out some aliens are pretty well equipped to gently caress up jedi, lets motorize him and really wreck their poo poo"

The first Clone Wars cartoon really did a great job selling him as poo poo-your-pants-fearsome to Jedi. Shame Lucas couldn't be bothered to keep that going

The clone wars cartoon says he's like that because Mace Windu hosed him up by like force-crushing his armor into his organs, I think? Of course the real, shittier answer is "so he can be like Vader".

Actually the real reason from Lucas himself was "it would be funny if he were a coughing droid, a droid with a cough", and no one stepped in and said "what the gently caress, George, that's pointless and retarded. Go sit in the corner and don't come back until you're ready to make a movie with the adults."

No really, that's the reason he has a cough according to Wookieepedia.
