Re: Are the Politics in the Star Wars Prequels Really That Bad?
The problem with the politics in the prequels (for me) is that it really needed to be grounded in a human element in order to be compelling, and Lucas never quite got there. You can look at Game of Thrones (when it's good) as a comparison. Yes, Thrones has the benefit of being a TV series, but above...

Re: Should Kathleen Kennedy be let go from the Star Wars megaproject?
So because he went hermit because he failed the library needs to burn? No other Sith ever tried to throw away the Light and dark minus Kreia but that was acually compelling. Also Rey seemed intrigued by the concept. Again, the library didn't burn. The tree did. The actual *contents* of the library ...

Re: Should Kathleen Kennedy be let go from the Star Wars megaproject?
It just attempted to do that with the whole book burning and Kylo speech. There is a difference between taking a a warrior and floating an apple. I don't recall super stus and sues like Rey in the EU existing as Jedi or even Sith. In star Wars? Outside of SW in important franchises of the scale of ...

Re: Should Kathleen Kennedy be let go from the Star Wars megaproject?
Her contract we renewed so... clearly Disney weighed the 4 billion+ made by the first three new movies against the losses of Solo and saw that the ups make up for the downs (which, money wise,they do). Like if you put someone else i charge you would not have gotten that. How hard was it not to make...

Re: Your Headcanons?
My headcanon for Star Wars is the original three movies plus the books up until Timothy Zhan's "Hand of Thrawn" duology. Visions of the Future , to me, is the definitive ending to the story of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo and Mara Jade. I get the feeling that when Zahn wrote the book he k...

Re: Off-topic Star Wars discussion
Yeah, but... HOW did they get this strong? At least we see in the prequels the planning that went into Palpatine's rise. Here we get nothing. The original characterization of them being just a small faction makes sense, this doesn't Eh... Given that the entire Clone Army was secretly constructed in...

Re: Was it a good idea for Disney to throw out the whole EU?
My relationship with the EU is rocky. For me, it's a continuation of Star Wars from a time when Star Wars was just three movies. Whenever I go back and re-read the Thrawn Trilogy, that's kind of the headspace of put myself in. The fact that most of the EU prior to the release of the prequels is pret...

Re: The Thrawn Trilogy
Rey barely grew as a character in Awakens and didn't develop at all in Last and the same goes for Finn and Poe. I disagree with this wholeheartedly. Rey's entire motivation, in parallel to Ben Solo, is that she's starved for approval and validation, be it from parents that she deludes herself into ...
