I wonder if they'll try to rehab any of the Prequel stuff.

I would just kinda pretend it didn't exist and move on.

They had Space Jimmy Smits in Rogue One, does that count as "rehab?"

The had darth vader living on the same volcano planet he got horrifically deformed on. I like the RLM guy's theory that the emperor stationed him in the imperial galactic version of siberia to gently caress with him.

Because it's metal as gently caress and that's what Vader is supposed to be.

But what did the movie call it? I remember getting text on screen for a bunch of planets, did we get one for that one?

If so, it wasn't "Mustafar" I would have remembered that.

Don't get me wrong, I ended up being glad I saw R1 and I welcome the change from the fan wank JJ vomit that was TFA. I figured R1 would be a better movie than TFA from the trailers but I didn't have the impulse to see it until then.

However that said I am not sure whether I give a poo poo anymore. I am certainly not going to see the mainline films at the cinema barring another social event. I don't care about Han Solo anymore. The next time they do something different and took a chance like R1 I might go see it on my own volition.


They spent whatever the time moving house and hiding. Han Solo did cargo runs with his cargo ship. Luke flew escort. the Empire arrive at Yavin to see what happened to their Death Star. vadar spends however many months spamming probe droids. not sure there is much story in there.

X-wing the game did a pretty good treatment of what happened in the intervening time.

I played the gently caress out of x-wing the game (and tie fighter) and honestly that got more more interested in star wars than the movies

I feel like everyone who died in a Star Wars movie comes back to life somewhere in the EU. Boba jetpacks out of the Sarlacc, the Emperor comes back as a ghost to haunt the Ewoks for all time or he's a clone or something, and Darth Maul survives losing half of his body because he used the force to defy the rules of biology and anatomy. It wouldn't surprise me if Jabba wakes up because he's used to not breathing from the sleep apnea.

Well you can't possibly come up with new interesting characters with their own stories. You have to re-hash the same characters over and over, and any character you do add has to be related in some way to beloved existing character or the audience surely won't buy in.

Well sounds like either someone in editing hosed up or they want to make it a mystery for no good reason.

It's funny because literally every other planet we get an establishing shot with text for the name. It was one of my problems with the movie, it felt inorganic. We didn't need title text for any planets in the original trilogy.

Probably because they didn't introduce ten planets in the space of six minutes.

I know this is more of a Return of the Jedi thing and nobody's talking about the EU but I always thought it was funny how the only mention of Bothans was that a lot of them died, and that somehow translated in the EU to the Bothans being an entire race of spies who are the best spies in the galaxy. And how the alien with the long snout who pointed out Luke and Obi-Wan to the stormtroopers wasn't just some scummy guy off the street, he was the most powerful information broker on Tatooine who sold his services to the highest bidder!

I listen to the Star Wars Minute podcast and they love to make fun of this. Whenever they bring up a character they ask if it comes from an entire planet of *character's profession*

The barkeeper is obviously from a planet of well known listeners and drink mixers, that's cool world building. That little bat faced guy at the cantina? He's seen having a drink passed to him and really wanting it, so clearly this is a defining trait of the character and entire species. You see his race is obviously addicted to a special drink they need to drink to survive, but when they don't have quite enough they become incredibly force sensitive. Or something. I don't know we HAVE to come up with something based on minor things we saw in the movies and misinterpreted!!!

think about star wars like cumming. the original trilogy ranged from top quality head to solid p in v spooge action but that ended in 1983 and you've had decades of blue balls with only 3 very rough and unsatisfying handjobs to try and make you nut but they didn't work. then a skilled twink named JJ gives you a really skilled handjob and you cum 32 years worth of built up cum. but then next year you get another decent handjob but it doesn't really do it for you because you just got one and the handjob in 1999 gave you a venerial disease.

I kept waiting for this analogy to fall apart but it holds up really well.
