Yeah, I think you can leave unless you want to talk about what you like since it's a Positivity Thread.

And this is why I keep getting dragged back. Just LET ME LEAVE IN PEACE and I will. No further commentary, please.

Yuka, just walk away from the damn thread and ignore it if you're so irritated by it. You don't need to reply to every little thing.

Well, here is something I also like about NuCanon. Having Maul come back and met his end at Obi-Wan's hands, not Vader's. That was pretty cool. It was completely original and distinct from Legends.

Eh? Who? Obi-Wan or Maul? Either way, having him killed by Obi-Wan was the smart move, given their history, while for Legends, it was Vader. I love that distinction. Kinda like how I like the distinction between Legends Luke and NuCanon Luke.

Yeah, while they both have history with obiwan and Palpatine they have no history with each other. While everything that happens to Maul was connected to Obiwan, and Obiwan lost his mentor to Maul.

I'm going to say that I really liked Tarkin as a novel even though it could have been a Legends or a canon novel. The Grand Moff Tarkin presented in that book is quite obviously insane in a "Heart of Darkness" sort of way but he's able to mask his lunacy in a cultured and refined mask. We also get an address of what exactly the difference between the Rebellion and terrorists would be, even though the latter of this book start as fairly well-intentioned.

Maul also killed woman that Obiwan loved. Obiwan did admit that he would had left Jedi Order for Satine if she had asked him to. There is also fact that Maul is motivated by revenge towards Obiwan because of his defeat and being abandoned by Sidious as result.

Exactly and I have to check did Vader and Vader ever talk to each other?
