Agreed, absolutely ruins the scene. Vader's silent heroism and sacrifice was the best part of that scene.

Plus his inner conflict of whether he should stay with his master or save his son.  Him just saying "No" ruins it all.

Unfortunately it's only a five issue mniseries, but I suppose one can only take so much pure, concentrated cool.

Speculation: The First Order and Resistance

Great article to read. Makes a comparison between the Empire and WWII Germany. I'm thinking the Rebels have the Empire on the ropes at Jakku and it's a pivotal battle. Planets that once thrived under the Empire start to fall economically much like Germany after WWI. Now with the First Order they have a fanatical leader and figure head named Kylo Ren. See the parallels? It's possible that the tides have turned and the Resistance (Rebels) are the underdogs again.

Also I really like this one rumor I've read about Jakku:
Spoiler
Many Imperials survived the Star Destroyer crash, including the captain. Thirty years after RoTJ they have a settlement and encounter Rey. This is also the time The First Order shows up. The ex-Imperials hate the Empire for abandoning them and help Rey escape the planet just as Kylo Ren comes knocking with the Chrome Trooper. This is also around the same time Finn crashes his Tie Fighter on the surface.

I don't see the issue (other than that video's shit audio quality). I prefer the older version, but the newer one doesn't have a negative effect on the scene or message it's getting across.

Also, Jar Jar wasn't that bad tho.

Since we're kind of on topic of worst addition after original theatrical release (both OT and PT if you like), I have to go with this:

YouTube


Not because of Han Solo's character reasons, because he shows he's a  "shoot first kind of guy" on plenty of other occasions. I actually support this change since it doesn't make sense for a personal bounty hunter of Jabba to not even get a shot off on Solo before he died.  My problem with it is just how badly they edited it. His head just juts over. It was made a little better in the Blu Ray Edition, but still looks off. Hopefully they tinker with it down the future to make it look more natural, or just throw it out all together.

Awesome. Thanks for letting me be lazy. Have you read any of them? Are they worth reading?

the three (and soon to be four) Star Wars films, as well as the comics, TV shows, and novels.
wait are you not counting the "first" three films or will there be more movies after Ep VII?

Are you implying that I'm not counting ANH, TESB, or RoTJ? That's absurd, given the quality of those beautiful films!
As far as I know, there are no films (aside from the stand alone "anthology" films) planned for release after the third movie of the Sequel Trilogy.



The image above is based off of information Kathleen Kennedy gave when Disney first purchase Star Wars. Rouge one is the first spin off movie.

I read Tarkin, and it was really good. Focused somewhat on the relationship between Tarkin and Vader.

Hey Gladiator, I'm not trying to be rude, but would you mind putting any rumors, etc. into spoiler brackets?

Not really. Looks more like a smuggler, especially since she's on a scrap yard planet with a crash Star Destroyer, which is perfect for looting.

That image just screams Padme to me...has to be a Skywalker.

I dunno about a Skywalker but maybe she'll discover her powers after she leaves the planet which kind of parallels Luke.

Doesn't mean she's a Jedi though.




But yeah, physically, she's a Skywalker.

What if Jon Boy-Nigga is actually a Skywalker?

Define lack of content. On my end, as in the OP is lacking? Or there aren't too many replies? Because the latter is to be expected, seeing as there are still a few ongoing SW threads other than this one. When those die down, this thread will see more activity.

I did, I recommended Tarkin (unfortunately haven't read the others released thus far, planning to pick up Lords of The Sith though).
