I actually really hope that Rogue One has no Jedi, except maybe a mention of Obi-Wan, since Leia is OTW to fetch him at the start of ANH.

If anyone is interested in the old Radio Drama versions of the Original Trilogy, Humble Bundle has them on offer right now, along with a handful of other Star Wars audio productions.

Are they any good? I love listening to cheesey old 1930s Radio dramas like The Shadow.

The pod race would be doable with practical effects, it'd just have to be shot differently.

That said, the pod racing ruled, and I still can't believe GoG.com doesn't have Episode I: Racer yet. :argh:

Fett kicks the crap out of Luke in the new/current Marvel Star Wars comics. He's the one who informs Vader that the X-Wing pilot who made the shot at Yavin is named Luke Skywalker. I'd consider that doing a bang-up job.

He trips backwards over a disabled R2-D2. Then gets knocked out when hit in the head with a box Luke unconsciously force threw into him. Oh and Luke was also blind. Blind-Men are Bobba Fett's kryptonite.

Not to mention all the people he needlessly murdered in the process of tracking down all the information he needed. He isn't some baddass, he's an overcompensating thug with mental issues. Aurra Sing hosed him up in the head but good.

He definitely started down the dark path when Vader threatens his sister and he gives into his anger and lashes out. Thankfully once he's beat daddy down and cut off his hand, he's able to see the parallels and what is happening and steps off the dark path. So Yoda is wrong.

Man, even with that poster out, a quick skim of the internet shows there are still people who seem to think Finn holding the Skywalker Saber is some kind of JJ-Red-Herring and that he isn't going to end up a Jedi. I don't get it.

He goes from defiant/confident at the beginning of the gif to OH gently caress GONNA DIE after the cut.

Wonder what goes down in between those shots!

He's a clueless maybe-maybe-not-force-sensetive Stormtrooper deserter with a laser sword and there is an evil, magic space-knight with a laser claymore coming straight at him. That is very much a look of "I have made a terrible mistake."

The thing I find interesting in that clip is Kylo isn't wearing his helmet, he apparently takes it off for some reason...

Is there a possibility Boyega's character isn't a Jedi type and takes up the saber in a desperation move?

Maybe. But I want him to be a Force User, Ray too. More Jedi. Jedi are cool. Stormtrooper Deserter who turns into a Jedi? Cool idea, IMO.

Also because I want to see racist assholes squirm at the idea of a black, protagonist Jedi

Nessus posted:

What I got from those shots of Finn is that he "woke up," somehow. Given the title of the film I suspect this means that he's got the Force.

In fact he said he was made to do one thing. Maybe he's a clone.

Well, in one of the new Young Adult novel series*, Brendol Hux, a commandant at an Imperial Academy proposes training Stormtroopers from birth to make them more skilled and efficient like the Clone Army was (but to not use clones, in order to make them more resistant to a tailored bioweapon).

Finn could be a product of a program like that, especially since there is a Hux (possibly his son or grandson) in the new movie.

* Don't judge me.

Yeah, yaw is straight left/right changes of direction without rolling and banking. Aircraft can do it by applying rudder force, but aircraft don't have enormous flat vertical solar panels welded to their sides.

It's almost as stupid as painting solar panels white. :v:

Never understood why the panels are labeled solar panels, when even in the official cutway illustrations you can see radiator tubing inside them. I guess its the whole Stardestroyer dome sensor/shield generator confusion.

To a large extent. Mas Ameda is still Grand Vizier of the Empire and Rebels features a Rodian Imperial techinician with Lobot-style implants as a plot point. ISB Agent Kallus was a Chiss at one point during his design concepts. Also, all the Inquisitors that have shown up so far are aliens. That said all the imperial Military officers we've seen so far are Human or near enough to human (Aresko might've been Umbaran given how gaunt, pale, and chiseled he was).

There are women stormtroopers featured in a few of the new materials though, as well as a woman who goes from newly mined Star Destroyer Captain in A New Dawn (10 years before ANH) to commanding a Super Star Destroyer sometime after Endor, so at the very least the Sexism angle is dead.

The novels seem to imply its less about species and more about location. If you're a core worlder, you're good, if you're a rimworlder, you're bad. Tarkin apparently used to get poo poo while climbing the ranks because his homeworld wasn't considered a Core World.
