I really hate this duality theme they've had going on ever since... KOTOR maybe? It's supposed to be the Force, and the dark side of the Force. Not like the best Force is somewhere in the middle, like maybe you just murder people sometimes.

my guess: luke is saying its time for the jedi to die, and they're going to make an order thats not complete dogshit where its alright for people to love each other and they aren't weird sexless monks who were abducted as kids and never got a choice in their lifestyle

oh no they're culturally appropriating the original trilogy

I'd prefer original stuff that thematically mirrors the originals (like KOTOR) without just safely copying them beat-for-beat

yeah, it is. i mean, it's like a major part of the culture that you live in so have some opinions, bro! lol at the idea that you're not supposed to have opinions about cultural artifacts that are huge monetary and ideological edifices.

it's this

the blind force-sensitive priest in rogue one was cool, i'm fine with the force being a magic equivalent allowing people to occasionally do awesome stuff, but jesus christ i just space out any time a lightsaber turns on because i know nothing matters.

Yinlock posted:

wasn't this basically kotor 2

sort of

the best part of the game was talking to atton and having him admit that in a previous life he was a seriously drat good jedi hunter, he'd get the drop on them by poisoning or gassing them before they had any idea there was a threat. that owned.


Serf posted:

the jedi as a philosophy died in rotj and i hope the writers realized that
fun fact: the original name for rotj was 'revenge of the jedi' instead of 'return of the jedi'. lucas later changed it because it was antithetical to the jedi philosophy to take revenge.

In junior high I used to carry around New Jedi Order paperbacks in my jean pockets so that I could read them whenever we had a break in class

I was also extremely popular and totally fingered girls in the library stacks like the other cool kids (no)

I hope they retcon a lot of poo poo and cause angry nerd explosions

they already did lol

when disney bought star wars all of the EU poo poo was declared non-canon, then they granted harrison ford's long standing wish to get the gently caress out of star wars gracefully. han solo in the EU became a naval admiral and fought a half dozen imperial warlords for like 20 years after the empire officially fell so all of that went away and he got stabbed like a bitch instead lol
