I'm glad the EU is gone, personally. I love the direction the new canon is going in. the Skeleton of the old EU, but much better stories in my opinion. Thrawn wasn't enough to redeem the old EU.
do we really have enough EU already to say that the stories are better?
I suppose you're right. Nonetheless, I like the direction things are going in. Much more coordinated, inter-connected stories.

Also, Nar Shaddaa is canon.
Wasn't Nar Shaddaa mentioned in the prequels though?
What are those?

Notice that they renamed the EU to Star Wars "Legends". I'm hoping they capitalize on this and bring back fan-favorite characters, particularly Kyle Katarn for the Rogue One as the original thief of the first Death Star plans, though they've said it doesn't revolve around Jedi and Kyle Katarn was never part of Rogue Squadron.
As much as I love some of the good EU characters like Kyle Katarn, I hope they just come up with new ones instead. Kanan Jarrus seems like he was inspired by Katarn a lot. In fact, just slap a full beard on him and he's practically the same guy.
Yeah but Kanan's facial hair and ponytail make him look like a douchebag. And Kyle Katarn was way cooler anyway.

Glad to see someone else is a fan of that book, and has seen the parallels with SJW's as well!

Don't step on the toes of the dog lovers, the cat lovers, doctors, lawyers, merchant, chiefs, Mormons, Baptists, Unitarians, second-generation Chinese, Swedes, Italians, Germans, Texans, Brooklynites, Irishmen, people from Oregon or Mexico. The bigger your market, Montag, the less you handle controversy.
Indeed. Very profound read.

OT:
I guess preferences are like...
Cute face
Brown hair
Brown eyes
Shorter (5'2 - 5'7)
There's probably more.
Having seen your Mediterranean mistress to-be I see you adhere to this archetype quite closely...

gotcha
see, that's actually nice
and clean
Yeah. Also, everything is being coordinated by the Lucasfilm story group, so we don't have a bunch of contradictions, and everything makes sense within the universe for the most part.
Thank the lord.
Indeed. I think I can safely say that never again will Trioculus spread his terribleness in the Star Wars universe.

Isn't everything SW supposed to be in the Megathread?
No?
Comet asked me to create the Megathread in order to consolidate Star Wars content in one location, so as to avoid spamming the forum.
thats really retarded
like why would we limit threads when its not even spam. i mean unless comet wants this place to die sooner
I made a misstep, shouldn't have brought it up. I just don't want the megathread to die, kinda proud of it lol.

Preview of Leia #3 is up.
They're trying too hard. "Strong" female character =/= making all men pussies.
Reminds me of Agent Carter. I'm fine with strong female characters but yeah, trying too hard at times.
And Star Wars #4 was really good.
Agreed, I really like how the series is connecting with the Darth Vader series. Also, Vader's line regarding Salacious B. Crumb was amazing.

The Plinkett review? Seriously?
Get over it Tackelberry. If you don't agree with the points made, and you disagree with people's critique of the prequels, then don't try and bait people into that discussion again.
yes
fuck mrrrepzion
Whether you like/dislike the review and it's points is irrelevant. The fact is, Tackelberry is baiting people into having the discussion again.

The Empire... Has fallen. Long live the incredibly similar but legally distinct First Order!

Just a quick question, did any of you feel anything during the fall of the jedi? When it was showing Jedi masters like aayla secura, Ki adi Mundi, and Plo Koon being betrayed and killed by their own troops?
lolno For the Empire!

Poor Anakin...
Don't refer to him by his bitch name.
Would Darth Vader technically be his bitch name though?
The Anakin we saw was a whiny, selfish, brooding, asshole. Yeah he was better in TCW but that's not enough tonerase the black mark of the Prequels.
Darth Vader, on the other hand, was a badass motherfucker.
They're the same person. And Vader is just as whiny, selfish, and brooding. The difference being he can actually do something about it now (like killing people) instead of rubbing the Jedi Council's shaft.
the biggest difference between Prequels Anakin and Original Trilogy Anakin is that Vader is calculating, intelligent, shrewd, and good at reading people. Prequels Anakin is a gullible idiot who happens to be a savant when it comes to military stratagem. Prequels Anakin isn't the kind of guy who turns into Vader. You don't just magically grow a working brain by becoming a Sith.
Sounds like you need to pay attention to story then.
got any specific examples or are you just spewing bullshit in the face of the truth?
It all stems from the environment Anakin grew up in, Rewatch the prequels a Clone Wars and actually pay attention to details.
that explains his moodiness, but not the sudden transformation from universe's dumbest jedi to authoritarian genius. nothing can explain that except for shitty writing.
>Implying all Jedi aren't mentally retarded.
Again, rewatch and pay attention to the Jedi order.
yeah, theyre all dumb as rocks. so tell me, how in the flying fuck did anakin magically become smart? i can tell you right now that palpatine isnt responsible.
its a shitty narrative. lucas didnt think it through. stop white knighting the prequels.
When did Anakin become smart? Vader is just as dumb in the movies, and we've barely seen any of his thought process in the new comics besides "lol lets build an army". So unless you're using non canon material to show Vader's intelligence, I don't see it.
Anakin is Palpatine's lapdog, and is ignorant beyond belief, even after he's in the suit. The ONLY time he opens up a bit is when he finds out Luke is his son. And even then, he has to wait until his son is almost killed to actually do something.
He became a sign of terror when he went in the suit, but he didn't become smart.
And I'm not white knighting the prequels, I'm defending the Star Wars narrative as a whole. Sorry that you don't enjoy a section of it to actually care about it.
Vader isn't an idiot. You say that he isn't smart in canon material, but I'd say his actions in the Darth Vader comics have shown him to be quite cunning and intelligent.
Then I can say the same for how he behaves during The Clone Wars. His intelligence level does not change.
yeah but Lucas isn't responsible for anakin's character development in that series. id prefer to keep this within the realm of things that Lucas is directly responsible for- the 6 movies. there is no narrative consistency between the prequel anakin and vader in the movies. the clone wars helps to remedy the character a bit, but movie anakin is a fucking moron, no way around it. vader is much much more intelligent. that doesnt make any sense. lucas is a hack.
Okay, are you stupid or misinformed? Lucas was DIRECTLY involved with the story and character development of EVERY Clone Wars episode that has aired thus far. The Clone Wars is just as much directly responsible for him as the main 6 movies. Hence why it was left canon during the EU wipe.
lucas has creator credits for the clone wars because he invented star wars. he has a minor writing credit, but he wasnt involved in production or direction. doesnt count.
Yeah. The TCW team consulted Lucas at times, but overall I'd say the TCW team are the one's responsible for the better portrayal of Anakin. Indeed, as the series progressed, Lucas had less and less involvement. It's important to note that the best examples of Anakin's characterization lie in the later episodes.
