Animation is the future as far as I’m concerned. Imagination if the great limitation of it, although budget does play a part. And for this project, get the boys from Batman: The Animated Series. Imagine Grand Admiral Thrawn appearing in the art style of the earlier seasons.

Then our victory is all but complete. Give it another ten years and I think Disney Wars will be nought but a bad memory. Long live the Expanded Universe.

Nah, that was cope and he knew it. Vader knew she rejected the monster he became and never forgave himself for her “and her child’s” death. One of the reasons Vader was such a brutal man was because he hated himself so much that his hate bled into the world around him. Then again, if anything...

Heh. Unstable Edgelord Anakin Skywalker still does a better job of ruling the Galaxy than Palpatine.

So in essence, the Green Jedi very much carried on the Jedi Order's historic role in the Old Republic, except downsized to Corellia? And having read into it, it tickles me pink that this last remnant of the pre-Ruusan Jedi Order ultimately (as an institution, though the Empire devastated their...

The Sith were defeated with what they couldn’t understand: true and selfless love. That’s both sickeningly sweet and quite profound in some ways. That extends to Vader himself, by the way. If I remember correctly (according to George Lucas himself) the reason he could take Palpatine by such...

He is also a boomer, a chronic one at that, who likely thinks “what’s so bad about diversity?”

Stormies should be the United States Marine Corps in Space: very elite light infantry used for commando roles and storming enemy positions. By the way, Nazi Germany is a really bad comparison. The Wehrmacht was still in essence a Prussian army whilst the SS armoured divisions were ferocious...

He’d make TIE fighters menacing (SU 57s in Maverick style), and we can’t very well have the Empire be the least bit competent in modern media.

The more I think about the Star Wars Prequels, the more tragic they become. Their key failings were all down to George Lucas in his inability to direct actors, and getting carried away with the CGI and the "Shakespearean" dialogue. The core material was genius but he fumbled the execution to a...

Ewoks are so alike to Wookies I sometimes find it surprising that they evolved on a different worlds. In terms of behaviour, environment and appearance the Ewoks are almost mini-Wookies, which is likely a reflection of what they were originally supposed to be. It makes me wish they were natives...

This is going to sound strange, but am I one of the few people who actually doesn’t mind the Ewoks and appreciates how they overcame that Imperial detachment? I’m serious. The Ewok stratagem is far from unintelligent. They attack the enemy by surprise then quickly withdraw to entice a pursuit...

Whilst the Galactic Empire was in effect a fascist regime made to be Sidious’s plaything, the Fel Empire is more of a Prussia/Rome hybrid in space. To it the ideas of the New Order are not window dressings, hence why it functioned a Hell of a lot better.

Warhammer fans have taken to calling it “The Great Horned Rat.” It’s beautiful how many rodent insults people have come up with for Disney.

Speaking of Eastern inspiration for how the story could pan out, I still think “Three Kingdoms in Space” with “Moff Cao Cao” would be quite fun, but the rise of the Han on a galactic scale would still be quite a thing to behold. Vastly better than the trash we got.

The only thing Disney can do is just decanonize the Sequels. It’s a mess beyond salvaging, has done so much more harm than good, and a clean slate alongside lying low for a few years is what Star Wars needs.

The half angry, half smug, “we told you so” of the Neo-CIS would be intolerable for men like Bail Organa. It would make a post Imperial Collapse all the more bloody complicated as well. The Emperor overthrown, his armies scattered, and the Alliance to restore the Republic can finally achieve...

And the Galactic Civil War that followed the Rise of the Empire would in many respects be a continuation of that split. The core of the Rebel Alliance would be Confederates, and they’d clash with those from the core who are also chafing under Palpatine’s power fetish. Indeed, going off your...

As I understand it the Republic’s primary fuck up was its lacking a military to effectively enforce its laws. Executing Order 66 becomes a lot more difficult as well when the rank and file of the Army are professional volunteers you can’t brainwash at the snap of your fingers as well. As for...
