Fuuuuuuck... wasn’t there an EU storyline with a clone of the emperor?

Being the “Star Wars EU”, I fully expect it to have sucked Star asses so this movie can now one-up TLJ as the ultimate Star Trash.

In the last "Stupid SW EU" thread I think someone said that the Emperor was switching clone bodies like we would change pants.

If there is one thing that Solo has taught us, it's that throwing Sith Lords down hilariously long shafts isn't a sure-fire method to kill them.

Palpatine is Vader's father and the whole loving family just loves falling down warp core shafts all the goddamn time.
Like 4 unbroken generations of pure shaft.

yeah. I think he is gonna be a ghost or something visiting kylo or some poo poo. i don't even hate this poo poo that much since the old canon did before and it was dumb and amusing then. i mean in the old canon he died when he was shot in the gut by han solo and his soul was absorbed by a dying amputee.

That would be Dark Empire. There is a scene in the beginning of Luke killing an AT-AT with a lightsaber that TLJ kind of cribs from visually. The Emperors goal I believe was the take over the body of the unborn Anakin Solo because the clones degraded too quickly

Not trying to be an edge lord here but I genuinely couldn't give a poo poo about this film, the last two I watched in the cinema and I definitely wasn't on board with all the retarded misogynistic poo poo over the last one, the last one just sucked major balls and killed it for me.

I think solo was a fun romp but that robot character was a hosed up caricature of progressive movements.

Disney Wars not very good.

I was thinking about the fact that there were less years between the last of the OT movies and Attack of the Clones than there was between than that and this new garbage earlier when reading this thread.
I think it's because the OT movies are basically older than I am that the time frame seems so warped, but that seems hosed up to me

e: I guess I was off by a couple years, but not much. Oh well whatever.

The prequels are far more.memoriablr than the Disney movies, and indeed are better movies. Just watch them in a foreign language without subtitles and they are actually pretty decent

That is indeed the plan.

See, in the corporate world, if you are brought on board to finish someone else's project with the promise that you get your own project after this, if the new project is already clinched, you actually don't want to do too well on the other guy's project since you won't get all the credit. Far better to just torpedo it so you can move on to the thing you get complete control and credit for.

That was my experience with the prequels, at least the first two, and yeah they are so much better without the English audio. You lose the racist as gently caress accents, poo poo doesn't sound as dumb and the story just looks like underpolished space opera with impressive (for its time) effects.

Was there seriously no one at Disney raising concerns about Last Jedi when it became apparent early in development what a massive dump Rian was planning to take on their trilogy plans? No grizzled executive saying "We're just now breaking even, how are we going to make a sequel to this hogwash let alone a dozen spinoffs if everyone is dead!?"

I'm picturing a room for of executives who were agreeing with. . .

. . . but didn't expect the backlash to be so significant that their spin-off tanked, they would have to cancel others, and sales of merch dropped off the chart.

Disney isn't brave enough to commit to the potential of TLJs ideas so now they're retroactively going to make it a worse film by pretending it didn't happen, giving the crowd what they want and putting Star Wars on a shelf for a few years. It be like that sometimes.

I know what you mean but I'm surprised the simple math of more movies = more money didn't temper their decision to let a rogue director toss everything into a woodchipper.

Kathleen Kennedy is President of lucasfilm and was agreed upon by both Lucas and Disney. She was the one pushing for TLJ because it was different and had ideas, she even greenlit a Rian trilogy that has since been shut down. She's been the advocate for anything different in these movies and now Disney seems to be feeling they should have reigned her in.
