TCW has it's merits. The show, in hindsight, was basically damage control for the prequels. It managed to make Anakin a likeable character, and Maul a salvageable one.

Earlier today I realized that I was actually excited about seeing Darth Maul in Rebels. TCW managed to make him a somewhat interesting character.

In regards to the Mandalorian stuff, I don't mind the new lore but I can understand why people don't like it. Personally I found Traviss' novels to be, well, masturbatory in regards to the Mandalorians.
And aspects of the old Mando lore have been recanonized. It's mentioned that when Kenobi was an apprentice the "Mandalorian Civil War" was an ongoing conflict. Sounds like a pretty similar scenario to the old Mando lore.
*reads what else Karen Traviss*

oh god you're so totally right, jeez. UGH. I'm glad I didn't suffer most of that.

In regards to TCW, I mainly disliked it for how it retconned like, everything else. It was impossible to reconcile the discrepancies it introduced. I'm sure it's probably an alright series from what I've heard, but my mind still treats it like some sort of lore-breaking, G-canon fanfiction.

So like you should probably watch it to potentially purge this silly mentality

TCW makes Delta Squad canon anyway.

Reading Lost Stars and I'm pretty put-off by how generic it is so far. Random people fall in love and are the best at everything by the age of 16 and every aspect of the plot revolves around how they want to fuck
but it has a ton of teen drama shit in it.
especially because of the high amount of sexual content
what

the

FUCK

Yeah I was very upset by it. They have sex twice, the book doesn't go into detail and we only "see" the immediate aftermath of such conduct, but it shouldn't be in a Star Wars book period. Pretty sure at one point there's something like "he had explored every inch of her body" or some trash at one point. I was pretty upset, and regretted buying an online version that I couldn't return or sell to Half Price books.

On a scale of fifty shades of grey and contact harvest, how bad is it?

Lol, I'm not saying it's anywhere near some other novels out there, but it's certainly too explicit for Star Wars.

I mean, seeing as the EU isn't canon anymore it isn't really lore-breaking.

fuckin what

In other Star Wars news, Den of Geek reports that Harrison Ford’s triumphant return as Han Solo in The Force Awakens was almost ruined by creator George Lucas 10 years previously. According to an art book for 2005’s Revenge of the Sith, Solo would have appeared in cameo as a 10-year-old boy who is raised on the planet Kashyyyk as the adoptive son of Chewbacca, later his co-pilot on the Millennium Falcon.

Yup, would have been a needless shoehorn. I actually think Disney may change their mind about the Han Solo film too, at least that's the rumor that's been circulating. I mean, I would like it, but seeing anyone else play the character...

I really don't want a Han Solo movie. It's unneeded. A comic book miniseries starring Chewie and Han? Sure. A movie? No. Han Solo is a character too dependent on his portrayal by Harrison Ford. I also don't think a Han Solo film would be that interesting either. I see the Anthology films as an opportunity to experiment a little using the SW universe. A Han Solo movie, in my eyes, would be too close to the main Saga in tone and style.

A Boba Fett spaghetti western? That could work. Fett isn't a character that relies on a certain casting (he never removes his helmet, doesn't talk much), and a more stylized, space-western film would fit him extremely well. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly with Fett, IG-88, and Bossk.

I am always around, but never seen. I am often avoided, but you can't out run me. for I will come when you're old and grey, or maybe even the very next day. I will come with cold embrace, and give you rest with a chilled kiss on your face. I come in many forms of emotional state, whether it's irony, love, laughter, or hate. I am everyone's final fate.
All I want is a Revan film.
kthnx

The guy directing Episode 9 is filming the movie on 35mm film and actually wants to film some scenes in outer space.

Note: On the fifth viewing it was obvious that Ren saves Rey in the flashback. That warrior looked to be swinging his weapon towards her right before Ren impaled him with his saber. Which makes me think Ren was actually hiding Rey away; either because of guilt, or trying to keep her away from Luke. Maybe he knows she's Luke's daughter, and would rather save Vader's granddaughter and potentially turn her instead of killing her. Also maybe that was the good that's still in Ren, that he could not bring himself to kill a child.

Not nearly as bad as my coworker actually suggesting to us that the scene would've been more "awesome" if Kylo raped Rey.

Just...what the fuck
