Contrarianism dictates that people will suddenly like TLJ after IX comes out or when then next trilogy begins.

I anxiously await the scene when force ghost Luke Skywalker talks to his sister, who’s inexplicably standing by the craft service table, toasting an everything bagel.

Does any of the new EU still call coffee "caf"?

I've always hated that one. Like, you use the words "ship" and "building". You can have the word "coffee", too.

I remember Timothy Zahn wrote about Pellaeon checking the time on his watch, but after that anytime someone had to check the time, they always referred to their "chrono".

The one that always seemed most pointless to me was how spaceships didn't have seatbelts - they had "crash-webbing".

Most of my experience is with the video games, are the Star Wars (non-movie) books the kind of sci-fi where characters say random made-up words instead of saying gently caress or whatever?

Yes they definitely still use 'caf.' Its been used in a couple of books I remember. Aftermath, for sure.

'Caf' should not be confused with 'vine-coffee' or 'coffeine'. The old EU had multiple alternate terms for coffee.

Zahn dryly noted that nobody was upset with names like the Millennium Falcon or lightsabers
It's always up to chance exactly what would jolt people out of their suspension of disbelief

Zahn also wanted Han and Leia's children to be called Jason Solo and Jane Solo but was told to make them more Star Warsy or something, which is how they ended up as Jacen and Jaina.

You forget that with every movie they use up more of the limited supply of good-movieite. And that was pretty much tapped out by Rogue One. Soon we'll have depleted our strategic reserves and be at the mercy of our enemies.

THis is a metaphor for how fewer and fewer good directors/writers want to be involved in Star Wars
