Sometimes I get bored and just start reading random wikis. Our bizarre capitalism spawn sometimes like that except someone else reads it to them because they grew up with YouTube the way we did with TV. Also jivjov is great because you can imagine their avatar saying all their posts.

uftheory posted:Is Chewbecca's life debt to Han or back history of being a slave anywhere in the movies? I've always just though of him as Han's hired muscle/copilot/mechanic. I don't think Chewbacca's backstory was mentioned at all in the OT. In the prequels he was, what, some kind of military officer? Yoda's military liason on Kashyyyk or however it's spelled. But we have no film reference for what happens to him in between. R2D2 never had a voice synthesizer because then the films would be rated R.

At least the Great Canon Purge got rid of most of the garbage, but alas, we lost things like the early Dark Horse Star Wars comics, so...your mileage may vary on whether or not it was a good thing On the bright side, no Vong and Darth Caedus Downside, no Kyle Katarn and Mara Jade Jewmanji posted:Fun fact: the funeral pyre scene was filmed at Skywalker ranch.

Vinylshadow posted:There is a stupid amount of lore to cover though, so having a few dozen channels splitting the load is a good thing It's not like the new EU is inherently better in any way. The only reason Disney steamrolled the old EU is so they could fill in all the old gaps themselves with their own merchandise. It's all just as unnecessary and of equally spotty quality. The old EU at least had its own sort of bizarre, patchwork charm. I was never into most of the actual EU products themselves, but all of the old reference books attempting to tie everything (and I mean everything) together into a coherent narrative were really cool and led to a lot of worthwhile creativity, IMO. It was like some grand, glorious religious apologia project on steroids. I got the same kick out of it that I get from reading all the convoluted explanations for Jesus having two different genealogies in the Bible. It's great stuff. I also felt like it actually made the universe feel paradoxically more lived-in and real to have all this insane, implausible, and frequently very silly stuff popping up everywhere amidst all the more measured and down-to-earth narratives. That's pretty much what real life history is like, anyway. Like, have you ever heard of the Pig War? Or that time NASA lost a Mars orbiter because they forgot to convert from English units to metric? Or like, have you noticed that Donald J. Trump is currently President of the United States of America? If I can believe those things, I can believe that in the Star Wars universe Han Solo punched a space otter one time, or that IG-88 secretly uploaded his mind into the Death Star as part of a grand scheme to liberate droid-kind from the shackles of slavery. That's basically the definition of pulp.

The only reason Disney steamrolled the old EU is so they could fill in all the old gaps themselves with their own merchandise. It's all just as unnecessary and of equally spotty quality. The Aftermath series may be mostly bad, but it, and the rest of the new EU, I'd say has a far better track record so far than the old EU. The worst of the new EU would have been considered mediocre in the old EU. The worst of the old EU...yeesh. And I'm not just talking the Vong or bug orgies. Early/mid stuff like Truce and Bakura or Children of the Jedi were complete horseshit. Oh and Darksaber. And The Crystal Star. And The Courtship of Princess Leia. And The Black Fleet Crisis. The Aftermath series is, I think, the worst the new EU has given us. And even it has some fun characters. I can think of nothing redeeming in Children of the Jedi. Other "bad" new EU books like Tarkin are really just mediocre and forgettable. And there are some pretty good books so far, like Lost Stars, Bloodline, and, to a lesser extent, Lords of the Sith. Granted, it's a smaller sample size, but percentage wise, the new EU is on a better track than the old EU was. edit: And while merchandising was of course the driving force, it also would have been impossible to make movies with the old EU in place. They have to start a movie in a universe where - Chewie was dead (a moon was dropped on top of him) - Han and Leia had 3 kids, but one of them was killed by masochistic other universe aliens who are invisible to the Force, and another went evil and was killed by the third - Luke has a son with a wife who was killed by the evil Han/Leia kid At a bare minimum, this stuff would have to come up if you used the old characters. Which you know they would. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Jul 14, 2017 |

Plus it's not like nerds aren't used to universes getting rebooted. It's not like DC didn't find a new way to include every obscure character after Crisis on Infinite Earths. A lot of the fan favorite Star Wars EU has made or will eventually come back in some form. It didn't take long to bring back Thrawn. They can't really bring back Han and Leia's kids, but I can see Mara Jade returning in some fashion.

thrawn527 posted:Not really. Han says he saw, "...our son." So all it really confirms is that they have one son alive. It depends. Han and Leia haven't seen each other for a while, and when they meet things are pretty focused on Ben and the immediate situation at hand. If their daughter was off somewhere living her life normally and they both had full knowledge of what she was up to, there may have been no reason in the limited time they had to discuss her. Like if two divorced parents had to talk on the phone because one of their kids was in the hospital or something, the conversation would probably center around that particular kid and not much else.

Even if they had outright said he was an only child, that wouldn't stop them from adding another, not would it be without precedent.

Rey could easily turn out to be a daughter that they were told died in infancy if a writer/director really wanted to go that route.

I just noticed how the Last Jedi trailer showed the rebels fighting AT-ATs.   But don't worry guys, this isn't corporate boardroom committee bullshit because they're fighting in the desert this time! It's artistic! The Force Awakens isn't going to be the only retro movie in the Sequel Trilogy.

Honestly, the way things are set up, an ESB clone isn't that out-of-place Rey's training with a grumpy old fart First Order swans into the rebel base and kidnaps Rey's two boyfriends, so she's gotta go save them Kylo and Rey duel and someone loses a hand And I wouldn't even be mad
