More that the SF community is a group of people who skew highly educated and intelligent, as well as spending a lot of time thinking deeply about ethics. That’s not really something you can say about the “average” sports fan.

Kurt Vonnegut worked for GE, which made plenty of weapons systems. Amazing Stories has published so much military sci-fi.

Just because there is some does not mean there should be any precedent.

That does suck, no doubt.

It was more tongue-in-cheek than “slugfest”, when I was a kid. There were so many crossover books (especially those giant digests, like the main image is from) and “tributes” that it hardly seemed acrimonious or even very competitive at times.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Come on, they must have been trying to build bunches of them from the time of A New Hope. Do we ever build just one aircraft carrier?

I say you start with a slice of the galaxy that people haven’t seen yet. We got a glimpse of the 1% on Canto Bight, and Benicio del Toro’s character made some pretty damning accusations there. Let’s delve into that. There’s a lot to explore regarding motivations and political maneuvering and backstabbing. We all loved…

I think we just leave it be, ideally. No more Skywalkers.

Honestly, I agree with #2. I mostly liked the new characters even though they were handled poorly the longer their stories went on. If someone had a new story to tell involving any or all of them and it wasn’t just them fighting the Empire AGAIN, I could be interested.

What the fans wanted was a live-action version of the Zahn books from the ‘90s, but that was impossible because the actors were all AARP age.

I don’t think the lightning bolts was a problem with Palpatine and the Dark Side. He has supreme knowledge of the Dark Side and he’s very strong, which is part of the reason he has such a hold over Vader. All of the malevolence of the Dark Side could easily manifest in an energy attack, and force lightning is a good…

People don’t seem to believe this, but 1) is all the OT fans really wanted in the first place.

Pay off the previous series, tell a different story.

It wasn’t that you need the OT characters or now the Sequel trilogy characters to not appear - they just didn’t have to be the point.  They can be your Lobot type -”here’s…

How should they come back, you say? Without Kathleen Kennedy at the helm, that’s how!

1) Time jump. Like, seriously, 10-15 years into the future at least even if that much time hasn’t passed in the real world. Rey and Finn are Masters in a new order of Jedi Knights, Poe is running the New New Republic or whatever, there are new spaceship and droid designs, new planets (and not barren frontier worlds,…

I think the best case scenario is a press release that says, “We consider those stories and characters to now be part of the Legends universe and look forward to adding new stories in their place.”

Yup, “Marvel’s Most Wanted”. Probably for the best it never got made since, according to IMDB, the show was going to “Focus on Lance Hunter and Bobbi Morse’s relationship”. My patience for Agents of Feelings, err, Agents of Shield was at its breaking point before it ended, so I’m not sure I could take on another…

The one who would— oh, I don’t know, leave the world’s premiere team of heroes to help a group of ex-villains reform and become actual heroes.
