To be honest, I can't even remember the sequence of events in the prequels (though I seem to recall obscure non-canon bs with no issue), but it wasn't until Kenobi showed up on Kamino that the jedi had any real clue that cloning was happening, no? Pretty sure that at that point the jedi put two and two together.

What makes you think AVC is any better than reddit? Perhaps in certain ways, but the pervasive pretension displayed in this forum can sometimes boggle the mind and make me want to seek out less arrogant pastures.

Indeed. Though it was only a taster of what could be!

I remain cautiously optimistic. *lens flare*

@avclub-a70b90ac4dd557918e5a1c5cb19399ec:disqus Technically speaking, anything that isn't explained in the films is considered "non-canon". Having said that, I'd say Wookiepedia is the best source for non-canon canon (if you know what I mean) and the whole R5-D4 nonsense seems to have been cleaned up nicely there.

Uhh… Isn't that what JJ Abrams is in the midst of? And I think they're basically telling us that the EU stuff is most definitely non-canon.

*awaits clever punchline with bated breath*

The space slug deserves at least a trilogy.

Sifo-Dyas was a jedi master who initiated the request for a clone army from the Kaminoans to serve the Republic against a predicted "coming darkness". He was eventually betrayed by his old friend Dooku on orders from Darth Sidious as the clone army could then, ironically, be used for their own nefarious purposes.

As has been mentioned, that previous "touched" storyline has been retconned into oblivion. Where it belongs.

Kanye is making some of the most important music out there right now. Really? What the hell does that even mean, anyway?

Why should there only be upvoting? Fuck that.

Tim McCracken: Dunlop, you suck cock. 
Reggie Dunlop: All I can get.

Frankly, I think there should be a good balance of recognizing that, yes, there are plenty of conspiracies afoot but, no, not every fucking thing that happens in this world that is shit is conspiracy-laced.

Technically: WITH HIS HELMET.

Skip the film, read the manga (which is infinitely better and actually coherent).

It appears to be $225 on amazon.ca. A temporary glitch in the matrix, perhaps?

I would never argue that "personal preferences aren't myths". I will, however, argue when those personal preferences are objectively wrong.

Good man!
