His bodyguards were ordered to dump a poo poo ton of gasoline on his and Braun's bodies before they were incinerated so their corpses couldn't be easily identified and paraded around the USSR. Allegedly, the KGB disposed of the remains in the 70's via cremation.

Jewmanji posted:That's a neat reading, but I always enjoyed the depiction of Jabba as almost a species of one, the counterpoint to Yoda. Knowing that Tatooine is controlled by "the Hutts" as Panaka put it, makes it seem as though Jabba is just one at least a handful of criminals running a syndicate on that planet. The fact that people know of the Hutt's reputation beyond the backwater system of Tatooine suggests that they are either not from Tatooine, or that Tatooine has been made famous for its crime). In the Clone Wars the Hutts were basically the Mafia who controlled a dozen planets or so, and operated on the docks, casinos, et al of many more, with each branch/family ruled by a Hutt, and they would meet in council to discuss mutual issues/avoid killing each other too blatantly ala Lucky Luciano's Commission, where Jabba was the "boss of bosses". ungulateman posted:I think it works because it highlights exactly how hosed Tatooine has always been. Jabba isn't running some sort of hidden slave ring behind his palace doors. It's systemic, and the Republic (and the Jedi) choose to do nothing about it because they believe disrupting the system is worse than allowing slavery to continue as long as it's out of sight and mind. There's a story arc in The Clone Wars that briefly goes into that, as the Jedi, marshals of law and order throughout the galaxy, have to visit the Hutt council and politely ask for their help, because the Hutt have half heartedly thrown support behind the Republic, and the Chancellor and Senate would rather look the other way than have them supporting the Separatists.

A bunch of "If" scenarios, but here we go: Since movies studios are no longer limiting their films to trilogies, if Lucas hadn't sold the films to Disney, and if he hadn't made the prequels when he had, but instead decided to make them now, do you think he would have felt the need to contain it to three films? Sure, there's the whole Episode 1, 2, 3 numbering, but there would be no reason to say TPM is Ep 1, and AotC is Ep 2, but here's this side story with Obi-Wan and Anakin that takes place in between?

That was one of the earlier plans. There are a handful of notes by Lucas written before and after Star Wars 1977 where he considers the film's location in the greater storyline, and the film is anywhere from the fourth to the sixth story, depending.

Phantom Menace is such its own beast in the greater story that you could almost frame it as a prologue to a prequel trilogy.

Ingmar terdman posted:Phantom Menace is such its own beast in the greater story that you could almost frame it as a prologue to a prequel trilogy. I very much wish this would've happened and we'd had another movie set during the clone wars or a mostly Vader centered movie set between III and IV. Both of those settings have a lot of potential. I suppose there's nothing stopping Disney from making them, but so far I still think I prefer Lucas' style to Disney's.* *Kylo Ren being the exception, because insecure baby dark jedi who throws tantrums and worships an inaccurate idealized version of his uncle and kills his own father to prove that he isn't an insecure baby is a great idea.

I haven't seen the prequels since they were in theaters, so maybe this was explained better than I remember, but how the hell did R2 units fit into Jedi Starfighters? Did they just rip off their heads or something? Where does the body go?

Vinylshadow posted:Such a pity the ten years between TPM and AotC was barely filled in There are three sets of books for pre-TPM (Jedi Apprentice: Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan), this series between AOTC and ROTS, and a final series (Last of the Jedi) that takes place after ROTS. They remain some of the best Star Wars EU books, IMHO.

I'm expecting that the Han Solo movie is going to be about Solo going to Kessel to smuggle spice but finding out that it comes from wookiee slave/prisoner labor (as shown in Rebels). He thinks he can do the job without scruples but as in ANH his conscience wins out and he rescues Chewie and other wookiees, which is where the life debt came from. The finale will be the Kessel Run, Han smuggling out escaped slaves/prisoners. Because if Han Solo smuggled spice out of Kessel, unless it came from a non-Imperial mine, then that would mean that he probably profited off of wookiee slave labor. Edit: maybe he rationalizes that the wookiees are prisoners, enemies of the government, until he sees how they use children too (also seen in Rebels).

I started reading the books that led up to TFA and the chapter about the Vader fanbois made me wonder what Empire citizens knew about Vader in the years between his rise and fall? Do the canon comics or books dive into what they thought about where he came from or who he was? My understanding is that only the Emperor, Obi Wan, and (later) Ahsoka, and Luke knew his identity?

Tarkin should have had a huge hunch if he didn't know outright. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrHFEGvDDko There was also the Imperial version of Columbo who Vader was helping solve an investigation (where Vader was the perpetrator). He figured it out but knew he was going to die anyway.
