So has the "Lucas is a hack" meme reached such a state of evolutionary apotheosis that we've now denied him any hand whatsoever in the authorship of the Star Wars franchise? Because I'm pretty sure George Lucas has come up with a lot of things himself that are better than whatever you most like about the EU (I really…

Why? They're partially a monastic order. It's not like it was completely out of left field.

Oh yeah, the Jedi as a whole weren't very self-aware, which was frustrating. But that's the point, I would think.

Ah, well if that's the case, then that's okay. I haven't played the game myself. The original post made it sound like something different, I thought.

The Inquisitors have been a concept in the EU for a long, long time. It's pretty much certain that they're directly referencing them with this new character.

Presumably, by the time the OT rolls around, all of the surviving Jedi are either dead, have given up completely, or have been pressed into service by the Empire. I supposed Rebels could contradict this by having Kanan and Ezra survive past Episode IV as fully-functioning Jedi, but so far there's no contradiction.

Yeah, I'm not sure if this tops Cad Bane slowly torturing a Jedi to death in TCW, but it comes damn close.

I think grey morality has a place in Star Wars, and in fact has always been a major part of it, despite claims to the contrary.

Well, I mean, Yoda and Obi-Wan weren't actually portrayed that way. They were flawed as fuck and it led to the downfall of their entire order.

He only got in because his grandpa's money built the Jedi Archives.

Yeah, but Padawans are usually automatically granted the rank of commander. Even Ahsoka got to command clones, and she was like 14.

Their aim actually isn't that bad. Remember, on the Death Star they weren't trying to hit anybody—they were letting them escape so Tarkin and Vader could track the Falcon with a homing beacon. The stormtroopers are actually scarily effective in the beginning of the movie when they attack Leia's ship. And on Endor,…

I bet the stormtroopers were overjoyed that their armor actually protected them from something for once.

It would be funny if he was so bad at being a Jedi that they wouldn't let him go out and command any clones, which is why he survived Order 66.

I hate to burst your bubble, but the new comic about Kanan's life during Order 66 disproves this theory.

I missed the comments for the last episode, but did anyone make note of the fact that Zeb refused to let Ezra into the TIE until he conceded an argument, despite the fact that Ezra was being fucking shot at by pursuing stormtroopers? I mean, jeez. There's a time to banter, and there's a time to immediately save a…

Yeah, but now his motivation is just "does whatever Darth Vader tells him to do." It's still early in the show, though, so it's forgivable. There are better criticisms.

I don't know, I don't get what's so ridiculous about an alien having sharp teeth. It's an alien.

That wouldn't make much sense, though. There are no old masters left to rise.

I think we're disagreeing, actually. Castle didn't really have any emotional depth in the movie. The only moral dilemma he faced was the fact that he accidentally killed an undercover cop. But by the end of the movie, and after a merely token amount of soul-searching, he determines that he's still a good guy because…
