This is a good first step, but it’s a shame that they’re still forcing her to completely cover herself up except for her eyes.

IIRC, I think it was The Truce At Bakura that had some TIEs enter atmosphere, only for one unlucky pilot to forget that atmosphere means wind resistance as he tried a 90-degree snap pivot, instantly turning one of the big solar panels(? I think that’s what they’re supposed to be or some weird thing) into a big flat…

Repulsor tech, the same thing that makes the speeders move, and Jabba’s throne float.

Me too. IIRC, in one of the X-Wing books (Bacta War, maybe?) they described a dogfight between a member of Rogue Squadron and a newer Imperial pilot that was quickly dispatched. They mentioned they knew he was new to the Imperial Navy because his dogfighting skills were limited to a lot of climbing and dives and not…

Actually no, it’s mostly my friends and coworkers. People online seem to be 50/50 on TLJ, with a select few on both ends who are way too vocal.

I feel like Disney is learning the wrong lesson here.

It least it’s not missing a plethora of things.

The few people IRL I know that hated TLJ still were there opening weekend.

They also seem to forgotten the time when Tarkin vaporized an entire Imperial facility to stop a small Rebel incursion. You’d think the FO would have no problem committing 600 TIE Fighters (out of the probably 10,000 they had on scene ready to go) to stopping the Resistance even if it meant losing every one of them.…

Well, this is probably the second nerdiest post I’ve ever written on here, but here goes nothing:

Make that Princess/Senator/General/Jedi. In the old EU, sometime after all the kids were born, she asked Luke (because who else?) to train her in the Force.

Love that version of the classic characters. And sigh. Jacen and Jaina Solo are two of the best Star Wars characters ever, in my opinion (particularly Jacen). Still miss them.

Royalty indeed...

Poe. Full stop. No traumatic event like Quill, Poe is just plain insubordinate. Bad quality in a soldier.

Poe, if only because Quill’s outburst was more an emotional outburst because he’s a big man-child, and his need to figure out what happened to Gamora (and then raging that she’s gone) is understandable.

Poe by far. Here is a good take on why blaming Quill in IW does not make much sense:

Poe. Quill only really F_ed up once. They both got as many people killed though.

At least we know that Quill’s major emotional fuckup is ultimately part of the scenario where things turn out relatively ok.
