In fairness, they also didn’t bring their forest camo when they occupied the forest moon of Endor.

It wasn’t in old canon, no. Imperial-class Star Destroyers were commonly called out as too large to operate in atmosphere compared to the earlier Victory-class.

Don’t forget “Darth Maul”, and his brother “Savage Opress”.

Yeah, the cast for the Amazing Spiderman movies was top notch. The writing and editing were just terrible.

It’s kinda the opposite. Chirrut can’t use the Force, but what he can do is let the Force use him. He says as much when he’s introduced.

Yeah, I almost wish I’d stuck with my refusal to read the NJO. I actually kinda liked it, for what it was it wasn’t bad. Aaaand then they retconned massive chunks of what it did right with the Legacy series and threw the galaxy into the laziest war plot ever. It smacks of “Well, our big overarching war storyline…

Anyone who dislikes his work has either never read his run on She-Hulk, or has no soul.

I definitely agree with you. Darth Vader should be badass, but that series went way too over the top with how mobile he is, and activating all the detonators at once makes no sense with how they’ve been established to have safety locks. Someone was just way too fond of Magneto’s pin-pulling schtick. I could buy him…

I came here for this. Gravely disappointed in Kinja right now.

The author I definitely remember raising a stink was Karen Traviss; she always claimed it wasn’t about Lucas bowdlerizing the Mandalorians and Mandalore, but rather part of the long-simmering (and goddamn stupid) argument about fleet sizes and starship classifications. But I have my doubts.

It was super disappointing…

Necessary but insufficient.

Which canonized Onderon but not Dxun. Dammit. Then again, knowing Lucas he’d probably have turned it into a super populated pacifist jungle moon.

Didn’t they also give the Story Team more teeth in regards to policing everything? I guess some of it is down to abolishing the tiered approach to canon they had to take because Lucas always had final say to change anything and everything in one of his projects, but I recall there still being a lot of problems even…

Yeah, it would have been much less hamfisted if Padme had survived longer and they hadn’t had the twins born at the end of RotS. My guess is he couldn’t resist tying that together on film and didn’t want to have a time jump.

Yeah, it’s pretty baffling that this is somehow supposed to be a love story.

Ugh. All credit is due to Wayne Pygram for his various work, but his appearance as Tarkin in III was eyeball-stabbingly bad. The prostethics simply did not work; he looks like he’s a guy wearing another guy’s face as a mask. Any recast would have faced the fundamental problem that Peter Cushing had a very…

It’s almost like in war people die in random and unheroic was.

But seriously, I actually really loved the way he went out. There was a sigh of relief, and then: Nope! Still in the middle of a really lopsided firefight.

It is definitely a good sign for the Anthology films that they’re being allowed to do one-offs.

Execution? Yeah, wasn’t the greatest. Concept? No, that was absolutely fine.

My guess is the scene with Leia wasn’t originally in it.
