thrawn527 posted:See, this is bugging me. I saw Dave Filoni speak at Celebration earlier in the year, and he said that people were always asking about the romance between Kanan and Hera, but that he has never written anything like that between them. And he loved that people read it that way, because it proves you don't have to write a romance for people to see it, or for it to even actually exist on it's own. I'm gonna be honest, I thought they were married.

cptn_dr posted:They actually just canonized that it wasn't (in the new short story anthology), sadly. Though it was in one of the better stories in the book. I assume the canonical escape was via magical umbrella?

IronSaber posted:Apparently, from what I understand, there has been some theorycrafting and rumor mongering going on that says the latter half of the Rebels season will tie in to The Last Jedi somehow. There were some clues from the Battlefront 2 campaign that led to this. Ezra is Snoke, obviously

teagone posted:I don't know how you could have read the scene like this. The books ultimately don't really mean anything, and Yoda basically tells Luke there's no knowledge in them that Rey doesn't already posses herself. I don't know how you could hear Yoda's quote as anything other than trolling Luke. There's nothing in there Rey doesn't already possess (cause she stole em lol) The whole movie was just poorly executed. The fleet drama was undercut by switching to half-assed comic scenes leaving it with all the gravitas of jurassicbutts.gif, Finn's great paracer adventure served little purpose beyond giving Warwick Davis work and showing off Harry Potter, Benecio's Gambit doesn't make any sense because nobody on that mission would have known the plan, and the island was twice as long as it needed to be so they could sell chicken dolls. The only parts of the movie that really worked for me were the opening scene with Poe, and the Force-tindr interactions. Re-do the whole thing as a Star Wars re-enactment of the Chain of Dogs and we'd be getting somewhere Azhais fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Dec 27, 2017 |

Big Mean Jerk posted:This is absolutely what the initial backlash has been about, but fans are too stubborn to admit the fault lies with their expectations and not Johnson’s vision for the film. I only think about star wars when there's a post in this thread and I didn't think about tlj at all before my brother asked if I wanted to see it when he visited for Christmas. I still thought it was terrible and so boring I struggled to stay awake

site posted:How did you get bored and sleepy in a movie that if anything might have been a little to dense with stuff going on constantly unless you actively didn't want to enjoy it in the first place I thought there was at least an hour of that movie that could have been cut to vastly improve its flow. It takes more than shiny objects to distract me from a lack of plot

jivjov posted:The Aftermath books, and to a lesser extent Phasma and Bloodlines, addresses this. Palpatine and some of his lieutenants were stashing hardware off in the Unknown Regions, the First Order ends up using a lot of that. Ah yes, "addresses" Send this stuff to the outer rim! Why sir? It just wouldn't be sporting to use it on the rebels! e: I'd legit be happier if they were sent away because they were trapezoidal not triangular and the Emperor just didn't like them Azhais fucked around with this message at 00:37 on Dec 31, 2017 |

twistedmentat posted:The smart money is on the Obi-Wan movie for 2020, but yea, once we get something about IX there will probably be more. THey can't just do comic books and novels. They could do it with games but with EA's track record, I think people are hesitant to put any trust in that holding the torch while we wait. Boba Fett movie in the style of John Wick

jivjov posted:The Republic also had virtually no military. One small fleet, and that got destroyed with the Hosnian system. I thought there was something in TFA that said the Republic had a treaty with the first order or something since they'd just gotten out of their forever war and didn't want to go back to fighting right away, which is why there was a resistance at all
