prediction, the new movie will be better than the phantom menace, but not as good as anything in the OT, it will be considered good though, because its better than TPM

Adding a scream when Luke plunges from the precipice after the duel and revelation in ESB.

OK, EU question. I'm watching ESB as I said I would, and right before he meets Yoda, Luke says something along the lines of "there is something familar about this place"


did anyone take that 100% literally and make a story about how luke had been to dagobah before and somehow forgot? THANKS.

you would think with the power to destroy planets wholesale, they'd at least do the 2 keys to launch the nukes kinda thing.

Or gently caress it, let that E3 down in the weapons bay handle it

You guys realize that Star Wars is the spiritual successor to Flash "being a Polo Jockey/Jets QB lets me do anything" Gordon?

the tie mauler always struck me as a video game designers need for a tank that doesnt walk for the Empire. It might be because I saw it first in one of the RTS games that I think this as I have no evidence about it, and I'm going to guess the wiki is no less than 2500 words

yeah i loving hated those things when playing as the rebels. but yeah was in the video game so its totally canon. What about the part where you build the death star and destroy like every planet i guess thats canon too

It was one of like 3 computer games I had on a deployment to Iraq, I wish I had picked another game looking back

the one that was a reskin of Age of Empires was way better I think but its been like 15 years so gently caress if i know. I mean it's not Han Solo dancing but Age of Empires is pretty solid gameplay

lets see, in star wars EU was there ever a:

race of beings that were serial rapists?
a young hutt who was a jedi apprentice?
a ghost storm trooper? (not the zombies!)
a journey through a black hole (possibly with a jedi to use the force to navigate)
a race of hedonists who were too lazy to save themselves from destruction?

you can search wookipedia for aspergers and it has no results

edit: there is a result for Autism but its something about Jimmy Kimmell

edit: now that they have the canon and legends tab its interesting.

Was looking up the sandcrawler to see if there was any mention of stuff from the SNES version, and I learned that it wasn't storm troopers that were so accurate, it was an IMperial Flying Fortress


also a sandcrawler as seen in the movie (they have different articles for different models) was about 150k credits new, what a deal

thats a dollar more than a standard xwing.

who came up with these numbers holy poo poo. I would like to guess its from some game or something, but certainly some dude figured out space dollar conversions and poo poo
