Here's my two cents...

It didn't add much, but it didn't take anything away either. I was fine with it.

Ps: If Maul's alive it should be V a d e r who finally kills him in an epic show down. Maul doing flippy spinny poo poo and V a d e r has none of it and takes his head off. And then cuts it in half to say 'he's dead for real this time.'

Maul's dead in canon anyway. He goes to find Kenobi in Rebels and they fight in an epic battle lasting...






...literally about 1.5 seconds. It was actually pretty cool.


So I think you'd approve.

I feel like the PT told an engaging story with some lovely film-making whereas, so far, the ST has been telling a completely uninteresting story through films that are mostly watchable.

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.

Troy Denning, one of the shittiest EU authors, gave us "hamogony" wood.

It's a shame that Star Wars is in the league where anything less than a 9 figure return is a failure because it means you can't have a small, self-contained story with unknown characters being greenlit.

In fairness that was a team effort with Denning and Allston.

In a press conference for Fate of the Jedi Allston was asked about how it was different from LotF and said

"Well, none of us is in love with Boba Fett..."


Seriously, he was one of the few competent EU writers and the only one to ever elicit an emotional response from their writing and it loving sucks that he's dead and they kept giving Denning work.

Legacy of the Force was the last EU series I read and even his books weren't very good. It was a shame because I had enjoyed his X-Wing books.

Same. It started like it might go somewhere with a complex, nuanced villain but that went out the window pretty fast.

I don't know why they thought a committee of writers for one plot was a good idea. The NJO was a mess but the ones that stood out were the self-contained story arcs.

So, Kylo Ren's 'Finish what you started' back in TFA is going to mean, like, Vader killing Palpatine, right? Ren'll say that he always knew Snoke was Palpatine and that'll lead to the redemption story.

That sounds loving dumb if only because everyone know's that not what they were going for when he originally said that and that this is just an asspull.

If the Death Star was in orbit, wouldn't the debris mostly remain in that orbit?

It really depends on the orbit. For Earth, to deorbit something from geostationary orbit (35,000km out), you need to decelerate it by 1.5km/s.

Pretty sure that the explosion from the Death Star propelled things a heck of a lot faster than that, so you can reasonably assume a signifcant proportion of the debris to deorbit in short order. The rest of it might get propelled to a much higher orbit

If this image is to scale though:


I think atmospheric drag would take care of everything pretty drat quickly.

Yeah, unless the moon somehow has a 90-minute day, because if it's about the same size as Earth then the Death Star looks like it's at about the altitude as the ISS.
