The Ewoks, sophisticated people that they were, also possessed guard rail technology.

I wonder if there was an accountant who found out that without railings, the Death Star have money for another reactor.

I mean, the Empire is Lucas skewering big bloated imperialism - vast wealth and power, enough to build a moon that destroys planets, but no care for basic safety measures or for the lives of those who compose the empire. Prescient given that much later America would to wage a war in Iraq but not bother to armor up the vehicles or give their soldiers body armor. Star Wars is about America and The Empire is the United States government - or at least a portion of it.

Oh thank god guys, the new Star Wars book fills in all the plot holes of A New Hope, all of cinema has been saved. Bless you Lord Walt! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srjEuHQEKqI The best part is that the Imperial officers don't shoot down C-3PO and R2-D2's escape pod because it would negatively affect their K/D ratio. I'm not loving joking.

Haha, it was only a year or two ago when I realized that during the quad cannon fight, there's two corpses just rattling around in the Falcon stash spots. Thanks for ruining this Disney

Jesus that video. The book isn't there to fill in secret histories and plot holes. It's a charming set of loving borderline joke stories and some of them are extremely silly. To jump excitedly to 'here's the plot hole this filled in' seems to be missing the spirit of the thing entirely, turning it into a series of facts.

Yeah, the book is a celebration of the 40th. Sure it's canon, but it's more about paying tribute the edges/borders of ANH. Some straight up canon addressing stories, some jokey cameos, some fun romps.

Well yeah, that's absolutely meaningless. "This fictional event is in historical continuity with other fictional works, as stated by the Disney corporation." It does prove that fandom is an attempt to replace religion with pop culture, with property holders filling in the role of bishops and ecumenical councils.

BravestOfTheLamps posted:Well yeah, that's absolutely meaningless. "This fictional event is in historical continuity with other fictional works, as stated by the Disney corporation." This is literally no different than any other fictional universe with multiple stories in it. Canonical status informs as to which other tales have relevance to the work being read/watched. Look at what James Cameron is doing with Terminator; he's coming back to tell another Terminator story, holding on the original film and T2 as canonical to it. If someone walked in expecting the stories of T3, Salvation, genesis, the Sarah Connor Chronicles, or any of the novels to be respected, they'd be some combination of lost, confused, or upset. Sure, from an objective standpoint, the canonical status of fiction is meaningless. As meaningless, in fact, as the work of fiction itself. But that's not the point.

The head of the whole canon story group thing honestly has a pretty solid attitude to it. He's very well versed in the lore but also very much 'don't sweat the details' and ' this is a different story doing a different thing' when things conflict tonally or canonically. It pisses off the grogs and he seems happy about it. I approve.

Yeah, getting hung up on the pointless minutiae is usually not the point. (For example, in Motti's story in FACPOV, he mentioned the people in attendance in the officer's briefing showing in ANH; he includes Jerjerrod, but doesn't name Yularen. This clearly is in contradiction to what's on screen...but neither of those characters have lines or particular relevance to the tale, so it doesn't really matter or "hurt" anything). But if canonical status didn't matter, we could walk into The Last Jedi in a couple months and suddenly Han is alive again, and he and Leia have three kids, a set of twins and a younger son.

If a relationship between two texts can each other can be determined by property-holder's fiat, then that relationship is completely meaningless. That a completely fictional "history" inside texts can be declared and manipulated by a relevant authority is completely absurd. You've managed to convince yourself that we've always been at war with Eastasia. BravestOfTheLamps fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Oct 6, 2017 |
