Greedo shooting first is canon, and Han Solo is overrated.

banned from Starbucks posted:Rise of Skywalker owns because space wizard Sheev is cooler in every way than boring as gently caress snoke and sheev should have won and brought back the empire and dumping all over TLJ was the best thing to ever happen to a star war Sheev won, he's possessing Rey.

egon_beeblebrox posted:seconded I will say however that the jabba scene is better than the rest of star wars combined, and i "choose to believe" that jim henson and whoever the really great other directors and setpeople that worked with him and probably some special effects types did most/all of the legwork on that and not george or richard. I mean george came up with the guys at least, and richard drank a lot of water.

There's like 20 minutes of Temple of Doom that aren't completely painful, as opposed to Return of the Jedi, which rules start to finish

They should do a Hutt crime family series. It can be a shot for shot remake of the Sopranos, but all aliens. The tony breathing heavily scenes work even better with a hutt.

Return of the Jedi is the best Star Wars movie. Thrawn Trilogy would have made superior Sequel Movies.

Star Wars, the whole OT but especially IV, would have been almost purely better without any space elements. It's a Western with wizards, and the same plot and themes and supernatural elements happening just outright in America would have been both more fun and more provocative.

Yeah, you can reset star wars in a fantasy setting, and the only thing you really lose is the ww2 dogfighting. Replace that with airships, dragons, griffins, cloaks of flying, and you're golden.

Opinion: Jar Jar was Essential Reason: He's a loving dipshit. We know that. He got kicked out of his secret clan. When Qui_Gon and Ewan McGregor land on Naboo they need to warn the queen and all that about the impending invasion, an invasion that administration is unequipped to fend off. But Jar Jar mentions in his goofy patois that he knows where theres a big secret army. The only reason Naboo was able to fight back against the Trade Federales is because the Jedi convinced the Gungans that they and the Naboo-ese are in a symbiotic relationship, so Boss Hog/Nass lends his army to help fight the droids. It's stupid and convoluted and has a lot of blubbering and tongue jokes but basically if Jar Jar never called the Boss Fish's wife a name he wouldn't have been ostracized and thus the the Jedi and Jane Foster never would have known about an army let alone utilized it to help protect their water city. Also, since Palpatine's failed on Naboo, he then plays on Jar Jar's kindergarten intellect to convince him to call for a vote of no confidence in Chancellor Vellum (because okay for some dumb reason everyone thought Jar Jar would be a good senator and would act accordingly in the queens stead while she was off fighting bugs and 3-eyed cats) which then gives the Republic over to the Empire. Jar Jar was important and his dumb antics are what got him kicked out of his secret water club thus putting into place both good and bad things. Star Wars is dumb and I love it. I'll take a jr bacon double and a large frosty.

dudeness posted:I just finished the Thrawn Trilogy, and I have to say, they would be better then the sequels but just barely. There are parts of the novels today that Zahn would probably re-write considerably, but they have coherent vision and are a natural extension of the OT. Unlike the sequels that went 'lol soft reset'. Also, the characters in the novels are actually smart. And there is only one time characters infiltrate a Star Destroyer, unlike 3(+) times in the sequels.

The characters don't have conversations with each other, they just deliver monologues. And every other sentence, someone responds with "Point." Point point point point point.

The Yuzaan Vong from the EU books were bad not because they were goth edgelord aliens (though that is true), but because they were an alien invasion story that effectively justified the xenophobic philosophy of the Empire; implying that fascism was the better alternative to the democratic New Republic government.

Nothing in Star Wars has ever been improved buy explaining it, and the the setting actually shrinks the more attempts are made at expanding it.

I think the best example of this outside of midichlorians (gently caress midichlorians!!!) is probably Force lightning and how everyone can do it if they've gone up the Force Lightning skill tree.
