    So Bariss being an Inquisitor is pretty much what people expected, and it's being canonized. Nice. I love the way Tales of the Jedi is burned away into Tales of the Empire -- the Bad Batch did the same thing with the Clone Wars' logo, so it's consistent branding. I wonder if Bariss will sense...

    It might also have the opposite effect: When Anakin thought he lost Obi Wan during the Clone Wars, he pretty much went batshit insane to the point where even Ahsoka was worried for him. It might (and possibly is the most logical outcome) ostracize him from the Jedi even more, given they are the...

    Also doesn't explain all the angry Sith ghosts stalking around various worlds and Dark Side nexuses. Even in Disney's shit canon we have Sith Lord ghosts lurking on "Moriband" (seriously? Moriband? smfh).

    Yavin, ironically, was pretty much one of those locations of history that had its past basically forgotten, and it didn't have a stigma attached to it unlike worlds like Dromund Kaas (forgotten past but they knew it was a bad place for some reason *cough* being the capital of a Resurgent Sith...

    Yeah, the Coruscant Jedi Order was a complete mess. They adhered to tradition to the point of self-harm and, ultimately, it was one of the core reasons why they were wiped out by Palpatine and the Rule of Two Sith. If you went against tradition, you were basically but "unofficially" looked on...

    Disney canon is like shit from a guy who eats nuts: In a turd, you'll find little bits of nuts. In this case, those nut fragments are diamonds. These diamonds are things like the Vader comics and all the actually good parts Disney introduced/created. But the shit still outweighs those little...

    That Vader Scene (yes, that one) is still talked about. If they made Vader: A Star Wars story in the vein of that or his badass moments (and not the weak... thing at the end with the Final Duel) in Kenobi, people would fucking love it.

    So I watched the clips of Ahsoka with Hayden... Yeah, it was fucking great. We see Rex and the Siege of Mandalore; we see the Clone Wars; we see Live Ahsoka as she was when she was a young padawan (her mannerisms match animated Ahsoka to a T, even the eye shift and head turn -- props to the...

    Terminator-Grievous and Kung-Fu Windu were awesome, though. ;)

    Yeah, this is about as bad as what Ridley Scott is trying to say about Alien now, despite everything about the franchise that has become canon being built by different people (e.g. Cameron with the insectoid-hive thing, the Queen, et cetera) pissing over everything he says. Anyway, he basically...

    That was one of the most dumbest pieces of shit introduced in the Prequels.

    This "Dark Age" is different because it's caused by ideological rot which, just two decades ago, would've had "creatives", executives, and a whole load of others investigated by the police than celebrated at worse, their arses fired at best.

    Which is pretty goddamn ironic and sad since it was a way to proverbially print money, like Marvel was in the late 00's--mid 10's (since Endgame, the whole goddamn MCU is crumbling harder a Chinese construction project).

    You're also discounting the impact of the Modern World (yes, I hate to use that term, too): the Internet, how connected we've all become through things like soc-med, et cetera. That all changed the game, and it's going to take more than just a corporate restructuring, a good PR campaign on TV...

    He should've stuck with it. Jar Jar being Plagueis would've been fucking lit, and it would've redeemed him in the eyes of the haters from tPM.

    No fucking idea: I think the whole "enlightened species" thing came from post-Alien and pre-Aliens interviews? Or it may have been when he started to become more senile, I dunno. He also said it was dying at the end of Alien (it was "winding down" in the shuttle, hence its initial disinterest...

    Unfortunately for Lucas, like Cameron with the Terminator and Scott with Alien, their word as the original creators means nothing now because of other creatives' (companies or people) ownerships and additions to the canon. Most of what Cameron did in Aliens, for example, was antithetical to...

    Sidious had high hopes for Vader, but the moment he was barbequed and then shoved into an obsolete suit, he was either looking for Vader's replacement (notably with Luke, a few other times in Legends and canon, too) or ways for Vader to regain his strength (under his control, of course). I...

    That hallway scene at the end was amazing. If they could do Vader: A Star Wars Story with Vader here? I'd be fucking sold. Then again, they had their chance with Kenobi, and... well...
