I definitely think that Order 66 made sense without a magic chip, though the chip could have been an additional explanation. I preferred what seemed to be hinted in the Old EU, with it being deep level programming. The Clones were brainwashed sleeper agents, just waiting for the trigger words...

The giant hecking one they used for the Death Star.

It would be a suitable ending, to be eaten by the one being that realized how evil you were. Imagine if he could speak Basic, or an intelligible language. Zillo Beast: This motherfucker is a clearly evil, just look at how shifty he is and how he is centralizing power into his own hands and how...

Then I think I made a mistake, it should be Core Human: *REEEEEEEEE* BUT THEY ARE SUB-HUMAN *REEEE* SHUT THE FUCK UP RIM-RAT *REEEE* I forgot how that bit, and now I remember another reason I support the CIS. Or rather the people who aren't the evil corporates...so everyone else in the...

And I am pretty sure that is more of a Core and maybe Mid-rim ideology, from what I can tell Outer Rim humans tend to be less xenophobic than people from the Metropole. At least from what I remember. Such as that student from the Sith academy speaking Huttese in KOTOR. And xenophobia being...

Do you think there would be multiple CIS revivalist movements? All the different elements starting their own states, such as true believers setting up a second confederacy around Raxus, the Jabimi nationalists banding together with other nationalist movements into some weird pan-nationalist...

Yes, and also Snoke is essentially the unholy lovechild of Smeagol and Luuke. I think it is a particular strength of Star Wars...and also 40k. You can have radically different concepts existing in the setting, and have stories from different genres co-exist. I mean in the old EU you have thing...

Howard and Lovecraft did indeed make each other's stories canon to each other. So, the times humanity wins in Lovecraft's works would then be part of a greater pattern of throwing rocks.

Which is funny, as even Lovecraft allowed for bright spots in his stories. In a cold and uncaring universe, you still have the US military handing fishmen their asses, Stargods getting KO'd by steamships, a vampire-werewolf-giant thing getting dissolved by acid, and the Antichrist/Evil Space...

Luke didn't defeat the Emperor with force power, he defeated him through a moral victory. By appealing to the remaining humanity in Vader/Anakin and causing him to turn away from the Emperor's side. After that Vader/Anakin decided to toss the Emperor down a deep and dark shaft causing him to...

I would say, yes. It would drain the original story of the wonder and of the mystique. It would probably feel forced and artificial, and would have strangled the force as something truly mysterious and transcendental out of the crib. For the first question, they very much aren't different...

I disagree, that is just standard fantasy tropes/cliches/whatever. It is the same sort of idea as Aragorn being awesome, because he is the rightful king and his magic blood runs the truest. It is just normal fantasy conceits in a science fantasy setting.

I prefer them being a component of Force Sensitivity, and being understood as a measure of force sensitivity because of that. But it would be only weakly causative and more correlative and that the Jedi were missing a forest for a particularly neat tree. It could be a sign of the fall of the...

Did Disney utterly ruin their reputation back then? And did they intentionally piss off a large portion of their customer base? Did they kill enough golden egg-laying geese for several Christmas dinners?

Could have. Remember Shama Lama has made some good movies, and has hit it out of the park a few times.

I am saying we should do the opposite and revert Filoni's squaring of circles. Rather than forcing the EU to fit TCW, you ignore the bits that obviously conflict, and then give the Old EU priority everywhere else. Do minimal retcons, using them to smooth over the transition and to save bits that...

I wouldn't go that far, but it is inferior Clone Wars. On my end, I demote it to a lower canonicity in my mind and allow other sources to override it. Once you make the square a circle again, a lot of the problems that the series introduced go away...well unsquare the circle and ignore the...

I don't know if Padme has good taste in romantic partners. I guess there is something redeemable about the relationship between Anakin and Padme, a seed of a healthy and sane relationship... but they'd have to really sort out their problems. Padme probably should have stuck with Palo, or maybe...

Yes, Traviss is the platonic form of which KK is a distorted replica.

I think it is best to demote it in canonicity for the parts that are part of the old EU. There are some good ideas that should be stolen, or good ideas in principle that can be salvaged. I think pacifist Mandos can work, but they need to be one faction among many. And make sure they are still...
