Ah the Twileks, a race heavily victimised in sexual slavery, a bit dodgy for a kid friendly film series, but hey you gotta show your villains are evil and deserving of death somehow.

In the EU I'm pretty sure they said something dumb and really creepy about the females being into entertainment jobs because of :biotruths: really hoping I'm just confused with the poor reputation of the EU on this.

iirc the females are into entertainment because its an easy way off the twilek planet, and even being a hutts sex slave is better than living on the farm.

To be fair, hutts are hermaphroditic worms who don't find their lithe, scantily-clad slavegirls attractive in the least... The blatant leering and poo poo is probably just coincidental.

Also, hutts are incredibly tough and hard to kill as evidenced by Jabba being strangled by an 80 girl and a thin chain.

Jabba was supposedly different from the other Hutts in that he was totally about humanoid pussy even though he couldn't actually do anything other than leer and lick their faces with his gross tongue.

I am glad that in the new star wars canon, the most prominent Twileks are an amazing pilot and jedi. there's probably really bad EU :biotruths: about twileks somewhere but the only one I remember was a pilot in the x-wing series.

No, lekku are too sensitive and contain part of their brain. I learned that word when a player with a Twi'lek pilot named their ship the Lucky Lekku. However that character got neg'd by Palpatine who was a bit of PUA in that campaign.

It's funny reading the comments on AVClub or Ars Technica because all the nerds are angsting about how Star Wars should be 'dark' and 'gritty' and 'FOR ADULTS!' because of all the hosed up poo poo that happens and now Disney is making GBS threads all over it because they realized people might want movies that are still kinda light-hearted.

I was just hoping they would do different genre films in the same universe for the off year movies. Like a war movie featuring stormtroopers or x-wing pilots. A Bourne-esque action movie or anything really. I can understand what they're doing but I guess it's better in the long run to keep it in the same wheelhouse

I think maybe they're just mad the mary sue in this case is a woman. Luke had a penis (presumably) and so was relatable. After watching VII it was much more offensive how dumb the movie was than the obvious fact that the girl could do anything and everybody else was varying degrees of incompetent.

Someone really should've taken Luke to task for that Womp Rats bullshit.

"Oh, wow, you used to hit big rats from your hillbilly glider? For real? Yeah, wow, that's totally like sending a missile directly down a shaft as you try and dodge enemy turrets. It's gotta hit it at the perfect angle, I mean perfect, it's gotta fly straight on down to the reactor for like a hundred miles without crashing into a wall. But you hit some rats before.

Man, let's get this guy kitted up, he is READY to fly a state of the art space fighter on this unprecedented mission."

It should have been Wedge.

Like every movie should have had Luke being cocky and Wedge is right there shooting him down.

Womp ratline before the Death Star Run? Well, you covered that.

Taking down AT-ATs? "Geel, Luke, that tow cable idea sure works a lot better when you don't get your gunner loving killed. Oh,your speeder got stepped on? Yeah, mine's still good to go."

During the party on Endor Luke leans on a tree and instead of seeing Ben, Yoda, and Anakin sees Wedge pissing on Vader's pyre. Wedge gives him the finger. "Guess who survived ANOTHER Death Star suicide mission while the big hero was busy dealing with his waah-waah nanny-boo-boo daddy issues? THIS GUY."

The only way to get huge fast is to insult a passing witch and hope she curses you with Beast-strength.


ScarWars (2018): After getting a Galactic citizenship card in exchange for assassinating an Imperial government official, Ton'i Mountanna (Tom Hardy) stakes a claim on the spice trade in Correlia. Viciously murdering anyone who stands in his way, Ton'i eventually becomes the biggest crime lord in the state, controlling nearly all the spice that comes through Correlia. But increased pressure from the police, wars with Imperial drug cartels and his own drug-fueled paranoia serve to fuel the flames of his eventual downfall.

TFA ends with Rey handing Luke his lightsaber. As he reaches out to take the long lost weapon, he looks over her shoulder. An X-Wing flies past slowly. It's Wedge. On his bi-weekly mooning run of Luke's hermitage.

Rey ponders this for a moment, looks back to Luke and says "You know, I think I'd rather train with him. Bye." She takes the lightsaber and leaves. Wedge's first lesson - delivered via loudspeaker strapped to the X-Wing - is to always call Luke "Sister-Kisser."

The big advantage Wedge has over other minor characters is that while he doesn't do much, he gets the job done and survives whereas so many others do absolutely nothing and then go out like chumps because they can't handle a blind dude with a stick.
