It seems to me that some Jedi must certainly have survived Order 66, but 1) a lot of them had already fallen in the war, and 2) the massacre of the rest was really well set up. So there would indeed be only a bunch of stragglers. Of those, I think most "fully trained" Jedi would be inclined to...

It's not lore-breaking, but it's not convincing when I look at the whole story as a complete plot. It reads way too much like "oh shit, I wrote myself into a corner; there's NO reason that character would be absent for THIS event... Oh, I know: I'll just put her on a bus... and then the bus...

I was under the impression we were having a normal conversation. I also seem to recall you criticising works you don't appreciate. Apparently, that's an okay thing to do when it's something you dislike, but for some reason it's bad when it's about something you like? Am I getting that right?

Narratively, it doesn't make sense. If the conceit is that Luke is the only hope, the last of the Jedi, then it's narratively poor form to later say "but actually there was a way more experienced Force user around who had every reason to oppose Palpatine, but who just never did, because it's a...

People can say everything they want about multi-theatre wars: this is a story. It also has to make narrative sense, which is a different level of analysis.

Well, yes. Certainly. Same way TCW is inevitably tied to the prequels, with loads of prequel characters showing up there. But the prequels still aren't part of the "Filoniverse", and I don't thing Rogue One and Andor are part of it, either. They could've just sent her off to the Unknown...

I usually call this subset of works "the Filoniverse" because it's a pretty distinct series of stories mostly overseen by one specific guy. (It's comprised of Tales of the Jedi, The Clone Wars, The Bad Batch, Rebels, The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and the upcoming Ahsoka & Filoni's...

Ah. Lizzo the Hutt! That checks out.

Who or what is "Lizzo"? I want you to know that based on the name, I'm imagining a talking lizard. I'm going to be very disappointed if it isn't that.

Had a few moments to spare, watched episode 4. My impression of this season thus far is that its first four episodes are pretty mediocre, mostly because there's so much filler. (And even if that filler is meant to set things up... it's setting up things I don't care for.) This fourth episode...

You could cast Chow Yun-fat, for instance. He already portrayed Cao Cao in another film, even. If you want to go for more of a character playing the role that Werner Herzog didn't get to play (because they really wasted him, too) you could consider Tzi Ma, perhaps. Naturally, there are many...

It's all super vaguely described, so we have no idea whether the Imperial Remnant (they do refer to it as that on the Wook, at least) still controls all of the surrounding Core, or whether the New Republic has some sort of salient extending towards Coruscant. The underlying issue is that this...

Didn't you get the memo? Everybody in the Disney canon is a fucking retard. No exceptions.

To clear up some major confusion here: Leia's father being revealed as having been Darth Vader didn't come up in the original EU at all. It was literally never a point, to the extent that we don't even know if (or if so, when) the wider galaxy ever learned of it. Several characters know, but...

It's as good n excuse as any, since every character seems to be an idiot in the Dsney canon. But ultimately, this-- --namely that it's "just incredibly fucking stupid and poor writing", is ultimately the true explanation. It's hard to make sense of it in a Watsonian way, because the problem...

A bunch of good stormtroopers, trying to just make a good life for the people in their neck of the woods, and then being hunted by this radical faction of "it aint't over 'till every Imp is dead!" aligned with a failed or failing New Republic -- that would be a pretty cool set-up. You could...

Obviously! That must be it! 😂 -------------------------------------------------- But seriously, there's certain members on this site -- and elsewhere -- who insist on making their fanon into supposed canon. No matter how often the arguments have been hashed out, they endlessly repeat the...

Oh, boy -- there's the misguided "Mon Mothma is EVIL" bullshit again. Fellows, a specific group of people keeps repeating that nonsense, but also says it about the old EU version (where it's definitely not true). And in the Disney version, it also seems unlikely, because Mon Mothma is stated to...

It's truly staggering how dumb they are. If we remember those awful Aftermath books, the New Republic appers to have decided: 1. Anyone who agrees to surrender is pardoned, everybody else get death. 2. And now we're going to scrap our fleet. 3. Oh shit, oh fuck, warlords everywhere! And they...

The linked article is written by a self-described "ex-Catholic" who describes all of Catholicism as a radical cult, and who explicitly uses everyone who is pro-life as an example of the supposed real life version of the Children of the Watch. In short: only a complete fucking retard would be...
