At first out of respect for Han, Lando asked if he could just borrow some of Chewbacca's, leading him to have one of those moments where you know you just said something incredibly stupid, and time seems to freeze while you try to decide whether there's any way you can play it off as a joke or not.

A Jedi is a Jedi. You can't say it's only 'half'.

In the now blown up canon that sucked Sith were both an etnic group and a force path. So you could easily be an ethnically Sith Jedi.

I thought the old Sith backstory was cool. How they started off as a splinter group of Jedi dissidents who were exiled to deep space, conquered a race of aliens called the Sith, became their god-kings, and then returned centuries later to the larger galaxy having merged culturally with them. Not everything in the old canon sucked.

Hey everyone, you can all be at ease now. They've given a backstory for the space dice in the Millennium Falcon, so we no longer have to wonder why those exist.

It's not the typical double-bladed lightsaber, though. This is a special one that has both blades on the same end. It's called the force fork.

The EU is actually very good as long as you don't read the actual literature. Those reference books that go to absurdly creative lengths to tie everything together in a semi-coherent way are amazing.

TFA is a fun enough movie but it feels so tacked on. It's obvious that RotJ was intended to be the end of everyone's story. TFA is like "um... and then THIS HAPPENED!"

The best part of this trailer is the fact that they don't show anything from the climax at all.

The worst part is that it makes the OT entirely pointless, it even makes Luke out to be this selfish dickhead. "Uhhh... so after the Empire gets wiped out, they uh, this fringe remnant group, somehow... they make an even bigger, and dumber Death Star, with an even bigger and dumber Star Destroyer! And they're lead by an even bigger and dumber Emperor! Also the Republic doesn't exist any more but this isn't really explained until someone tweets it over a year later so our heroes never actually accomplished anything in the Original Trilogy."

Yeah, TFA is the first Star Wars movie with a plot that was genuinely bewildering. Not because it's complicated or dense, it's just told poorly and they made a bizarre decision to withhold information.

It's still fun in a "summer blockbuster" sorta way.

I literally apologized. And not the goon hyperbole "literally", but the actual dictionary literally. I am sincerely sorry that you are so sensitive. Please don't "call me out" on my totally serious Stark Wars viewing order.
