Now I'm no star wars nerd but isn't pal having multiple contingency like 80% of the EU? Outside of fun stuff like dinosaurs turning people into oil.

Another thing I noticed with my recent TFA rewatch was that it almost felt more like a sequel to Spaceballs. Like each character seemed to have a more direct analogue in Spaceballs than anything in the previous Star Wars movies. Roughly, Rey : Princess Vespa, Kylo Ren : Dark Helmet, Finn : Barf, Poe : Lone Star, Commander Hux : Colonel Sanders, Supreme Leader Snoke : President Scroob And just in terms of style, I feel like Yogurt could've walked right on in during a scene in TFA and it would not be weird or out of place at all in that move.

While we're at it, you could count General Leia as Dot Matrix with her matronly demeanor and raspy Joan Rivers-esque voice. And in some parts Harrison Ford was reminding me of Leslie Nielsen, who wasn't in Spaceballs but you could definitely picture eventually landing in a sequel to Spaceballs.

Like the entire loving point on both a material and thematic level of the final confrontation in Jedi is that Sheev eats poo poo and dies because he's too selfish and cynical to plan for a scenario in which Luke refuses to play ball and convinces Vader to do the same. He's so high on his own evil farts it legit never crosses his mind I think there were multiple discussions of "contingency plans" going on but if you were triggered by my using the term to describe Rey as his descendant, I didn't mean it as a pre-determined backup plan of his, just trying to (inaccurately) describe her being instrumental to the Emperor's attempt to return to power in an analogous way to Luke and Leia being "the last hope" for the Jedi previously.

My post wasn't directed at anybody in particular. I'm just annoyed that they brought back Palpatine at all. If it's reasoned within Ep 9 that he survived thanks to deliberate actions he took it will make everything exponentially stupider by going back in time to ruin the best part of Jedi

TheIncredulousHulk posted:I'm glad the EU is dead Probably the most "contingency plan"-like thing we could peg on him is that he might have mastered the Darth Plegieius (however the gently caress you spell that) patented "keep yourself from dying" technique he mentioned in Episode III, and even then I imagine that's more like the Dark Side equivalent to taking French night classes at the community college than it is him being specifically concerned his evil plans could ever possibly fail.

He's so high on his own evil farts it legit never crosses his mind It's essentially the same as Sauron, though much more explicitly stated as shown, he's extremely powerful but so far gone that he is utterly incapable of fathoming that anyone can truly be motivated by anything other than fear, hatred or power.

He's so high on his own evil farts it legit never crosses his mind i dont think its specifically about sheeve dying at endor. i think it was something he set up like years and years before as a deadman switch in case he ever died of old age or some rebel or imperial blew his brains out on the toilet or some jedi got lucky, or he fell down some stairs.

He's so high on his own evil farts it legit never crosses his mind It's okay. The OT is no longer canon, only the prequels and sequels are canon now. They're later gonna tell the story of how the rebels non-revolutionarily reformed the Empire and who that "Luke" guy is, and how they sank the Death Star on the water planet etc.

The bad news: Rise of Skywalker is apparently not a great Star Wars movie. The good news: sounds like it's a pretty decent Legend of Zelda movie!
