To put it in terms even a conservative might understand, it’s about the whole balance sheet, not individual line items. When you’ve got an excess of red ink (carbon, in this case) on one line, you can’t just break-even on every other line. You’ll still go out of business.

“It might be loosely poop-themed.”
An alternate perspective in the interest of sanity:
He actually likes to present you with two opposing ideas. One is what you said, which is Kylo’s logic. The other is what Rey learns, which is that you can take the past with you, and learn from it, but not be beholden it to it. And arguably there’s a third, which Luke learns; that being afraid of past is no reason to…
Look, if you’re going to kill Chewbacca, you do it with massive scene where he’s pulling off bad guys’ arms and using them to club more bad guys to death with those arms, and at the end he’s just buried under a bloody pile of desperate (armless) bad guys and someone sets off like six thermal detonators at once.
Same here. I actually remember walking downstairs in shock and telling my parents that “They just killed Chewie.” I don’t think my parents had a clue what I was talking about.
Agreed. The idea of foes from a completely different galaxy was pretty mind-blowing at the time (at least for kid-me).
Officially, they were considered canon. There were layers of Star Wars canon, though. It was a whole thing.
Plus they can cherry-pick the good stuff to use in the movies, if they want.
Salvatore started off the NJO books in a mediocre way, but at least those that came after him did WAY more with it.
That was the exact reason.
A moon dropping on Chewi may have provided a definitive reason to drop the EU, but realistically, there was no good reason to retain it for the new movies. For the majority of fans who didn’t read the side stuff, you’re saddled with trying to explain a mountain of utterly batshit exposition, and for the fans who do…
Your comment makes no sense. What are you saying exactly? The director and the stunt coordinator were in cahoots to sexually assault people? The writer would have put the scene in there and James Cameron directed it. A grown woman dancing seductively for a movie scene shouldn’t be in the same category as a little girl…
Considering I created, organized, and implemented the methodology, nope, that’s not how it worked.
“I saw Last Jedi at one of the earliest public showings. I wasn’t sure how I felt about it but I know I didn’t love it. That was a weird feeling for me. I felt deflated. After so much anticipation, and so many years spent obsessing over this franchise, I didn’t immediately fall in love with the latest installment.”
I just don’t think Luke should have ended up like this AT ALL to begin with. That just isn’t his character. And if you’re going to make such a big change, then we need to fucking SEE it. For the life of me I can’t figure out why they didn’t start with What happened between Luke and Ben. Fucking Abrams and his bullshit…
All IMO obviously, but I left the theater thinking it was no better than Rogue One and by the time I got home I thought it was as bad as a the prequels. I found it messy and felt extremely long. The most interesting character, Snoke, they kill off without ever answering anything about him and he’s replaced with…
Isn’t Kylo the one who told her about her parents?
