With all the focus on who Rey’s parents are, and then the “they were nobodies” reveal, I had hoped this would happen. It would have been a nice twist that we had focused on the wrong character.

Instead, Lando gets a daughter that wasn’t even introduced until the third movie, and the movie doesn’t even acknowledge the relationship. A hint from one scene wasn’t good enough for me.
I'll admit, ignoring my own bias ("Credit that you got the idea from Mr. Veitch, ya jerks!"), I really, really like the double subversion to "your parents were nobodies - whoops, your grandfather was Palpatine!" I mean, that's just amazing, and TBH, while it rubs some people the wrong way, I find it kinda hilariously awesome, in a cheesy way, that her father was really a failed Palpatine clone. It's just funny as H, yet it works in the context of DSWC.

Yeah, that's what you get from rushing into this, kinda like what they're doing with the DSW TV shows now.

Jesus with the EU acronyms.

How are 95% of all Star Wars fans supposed to be able to follow what you write?

Not to sound callous, but 95% of fans, if you're inferring to be hipster casuals and not the hardcore geeks, will just watch whatever bright visual stimulation is on screen before moving to the next.

It's not like I'm alone here, as Winter does the same. Not to single the user out or anything.

You, Winter, n+2, n+3... n+n < 5%

I'm joking mind you.
