Good loving lord why is Solo not an ok name? Lando Calrissian is fine, but loving Solo isnt?

Darth Maul comeback is just bizarre. Like Im not even sure why that came up as an initial concept

I get that, but did they have that many unsold Darth Maul figurines they could repackage? A new character is more bucks!!!

I can't imagine any version of Obi-Wan passing up the chance to shittalk someone directly to their face.

I'm gonna be more powerful than you can ever imagine, punk.

Seriously, Obi-wan likes a good scrap, a good drink, and a good boast. He probably is only into celibacy because he thinks hed lose his edge otherwise.

Please, good people, the EU is dead and in its place is a different pile of lovely, tedious, background filling stories except they now are considered as cannon as the films.

Barudak

I don't think there is an official canon reason so as to let it be either one, but getting all hosed up sure as hell helps sell the whole "The Jedi just attempted a Coup, we have to kill them off" which is also what literally happened.

To be fair, a very significant portion of the fan base knew he survived from the official tv shows. But still, why the gently caress is he in this film?

The story group is trash and crashed headlong into the issues that plagued the EU and every other IPs expanded universe concept.

I believe the story group is mostly comprised of the people who were in charge of continuity etc. for the EU, so it shouldn't be surprising.

Yes, also they must be reverant without understanding what that means beyond doing the equivalent of fracking for nostalgia

Said cultural touchstone already imploded 20 years ago, so they'd be imploding the implosion

The prequels wounded it but it held on. This is taking it out back and double-tapping it.

It would have been cool if...


Im TLJ Snoke ended up just being a sith hologram/holocron from long ago. He could still use the force but was bound to the holocron. For the throne room scene he would have possessed a host (probably some kind of intimidating trooper in full-faced helmet and armor) and battled Kylo & Rey. Maybe the holocron gets destroyed in the end. This would have wrapped up Snoke neatly, added to the world building (we see the dark-side version of Yoda & Obi-Wan-style force ghosts) and set up a juxtaposition of Snoke's cruel possession vs Luke's heroic projection.

That sounds risky. Better to have him be a random, unexplained force user with no motivation except evil and quickly kill him off to keep the plot feeling like its moving even though its completely stalled

Early leak/sneak stuff suggests endor is in this one, right? So I'm going to take a wild guess they lure kyle into a trap there, or there is some macguffin piece of the death star that crashed there that they need to get, or etc.

If Endor is in the final location of the new trilogy were beyond creatively bankrupt and well into creative lost decade

Agreed. Sadly we will get none of that and instead probably get light-saber wielding Boba Fett who is actually the father of Oscar Isaac. Not his character, the actor.

The "peace" of the republic involves overlooking some intergalactic warfare and slavery. It also must historically have been doing that too, because nobody treats it as unusual tht this is happening

Regardless if every line of dialog, every shot, every set design piece exists as pure accident the sum total of the film is read cleanly this way. If it is chance, that chance outcome still ended up saying this and it being chance doesnt say it any less.
