I think Maul's was supposed to be a staff, or at least his style was based off staff fighting.

If I were in charge of Star Wars, I think it would be cool if after ROTJ, Star Wars went all Cold War with the New Republic and Empire both having Death Stars and not wanting to engage in a full on conflict so they wage proxy wars instead.

They might actually be doing something like this, I dunno. After the battle of Jakku, they sign a peace treaty. However the New Republic isn't even mentioned in most TFA stuff and I'm not sure if the First Order is the Imperial Remnant, a splinter organization that's gone rogue or some new group that's a copycat of the old Empire. I guess the New Republic is still around but don't want to fight a war, so this new Resistance group popped up.

Also Lando Calrissian should be president of the New Republic because that would own.

Iblis was Patton since he was an obstinate rear end in a top hat too. From what I've seen TFA's Imperial Remnant went way out to the far outer rim and basically fell out of sight/mind after Jakku. Jakku was like some final battle that broke the back of the Imps and they bolted. Now they're moving back in and people are freaking out.

if i get the new canon corretly. it basically speeds up the fragmentation/disintegration of the Empire. so basicaly it happens in one year instead of like 15. Jakku seems to be the last fight between a big coherent Imperial force and the new republic. the empire gets it back broken and it signs a truce with the republic. the new republic does away with a main army and depends on system forces/plantarty forces/ and i assume insurgent forces in the imperial space. the empire sticks around led probaly by moffs and there are a ton of little right wing neo imperial movements marching around trying to start poo poo up like the good old days. apparently the NEW ORDER is one of the biggest of these. so basicaly the galaxy is in one big cold war with lots of little proxy hot ones.

yeah, your a loving idiot if you think that. all of the prequels are bad in unique and unfun ways. so its hard to say which one is the "best".

1 is bad all around, and its thematically poo poo and the kid is a lovely anakin. but at the same time, its probaly the best in terms of actual filiming because it still uses real effects and sets.

2. is the same except all the acting is wooden and has no chemesty. the romance is dead and contrived. the plot sucks etc. its probaly the worst one over all, though i find 3 to be worse.

3 is the worst because this was the one everyone was waiting for and and it didnt deliver at all.

There's a whole fascinating sub genre of fiction related to conspiracy theory plots of South American neo-Nazi organizations rising up and taking over the world (or being revealed as having already done so, SPECTRE-style). The one everyone knows about is 'The Boys from Brazil' but there's actually a ton of other books in the same vein.

Shortly after Episode 2 came out, I loved to read the Essential Guide book. It's how I learned about this guy:



His name is Hat Lo, he's a minor crime boss and the employer of that deathstick salesman Obi-Wan mind tricks.

Obi-Wan should have mind tricked him into going home and rethinking that collar.

Attack of the Clones is by far the worst. By far.

Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith are lovely movies overall, but at least they have a few positive qualities. TPM had good practical special effects. In ROTS, Obi-Wan and the Emperor were both really good. AOTC is just.... ughhhh. It's boring and painful start to finish. And there's the infamous sand scene.

I think the only part of AOTC that I actually like is the part at the end where they play the Imperial March as the clone troopers enter a Star Destroyer. That's like, 10 seconds of a 2 and a half hour movie.
