He's like a cockroach

He could be dead and buried, and the planet he was buried on atomized, and eventually he'd just reform out of sheer spite

i think someone did this in the old expanded universe

i mean, it makes sense in the context of the new trilogy- the First Order is basically a cargo cult version of the Empire, so of course all their kit is pretty much based off imperial designs, and the Resistance just straight up can't afford new ships and is using old Rebellion gear.

even disregarding the fact that they decided to use the old designs first and came up with the justification later, its still a pretty lovely justification because the x wings are different models

also lol the space battles in the sequels are mediocre at best

the real reason poe is a lovely character isnt because he makes bad decisions or whatever its because he is never in any threat in his space battle scenes and they are completely boring

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.

yeah and also a bunch of bad books, comics, and tv shows :grin:

Wearing a cool costume that looks good on an action figure on your office desk is the most important thing you can do!

I'm not shocked at the rumors of splitting the story into two films and sorta predicted it with the lack of focus on the Roman numbering this go round. There's not a lot there after TLJ basically undid all the events of the previous movie. JJ probably needs 3 more hours to build a story back up and properly pay it off. I'm fine with it, but I feel like with better planning they shouldn't have to.

Rewatched Rogue One again after liking it the first couple times and woof! Aside from the space battle and high stakes there's like nothing there at all. The most vanilla of vanilla ice creams.

i'd personally prefer it if he used that 3 hours to tell a complete story

Rewatching the throne room scene from TLJ, Snoke seems to p. clearly be a hosed-up human not an alien and I think the idea is he got his head split open but keeps himself alive through sheer hate which would actually be a cool idea if the character wasn't just garbage.

its been done

    * Kylo Ren reforged his mask, it's now bonded with a red crystalline material. (something from Crait maybe?)
    * Rey rebuilt Anakin's lightsaber, it's now a black metal color
    * BB8 has a new companion, a smaller bull horn looking droid called D.O.
    * The Knights of Ren will finally appear in some form.

EPISODE IX THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

The dead speak! The galaxy has heard a mysterious broadcast, a threat of REVENGE in the sinister voice of the late EMPEROR PALPATINE.

GENERAL LEIA ORGANA dispatches secret agents to gather intelligence, while REY, the last hope of the Jedi, trains for battle against the diabolical FIRST ORDER.

Meanwhile, Supreme Leader KYLO REN rages in search of the phantom Emperor, determined to destroy any threat to his power....

If true, it really is incredible how Disney ended the old EU simply to ensure they could crib specific ideas from it without having to credit any of the authors who originally came up with EU concepts.

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Eclipse-class_dreadnought

Sure let's just adapt Dark Empire, cram some other stuff in there, and we can call it good without having to pay a cent in royalties.

God if Horizon's posts end up being true, I wonder if Tom Veitch and Dark Horse Comics might still try and sue for royalties. Almost certainly not, especially depending on how their contracts from the 90s look, but I can't imagine either the company or the guy himself would be very happy about having Dark Empire cribbed so blatantly.

personally if i was him i wouldnt want to be reminded i came up with something that dumb
