The Corellian Trilogy has some very serious problems, in that it invents a Progenitor race out of nowhere and has nothing it can do with them. Also a fairly annoying droid sidekick in the form of Q9-X2, and one of the less good appearances by the young Solo kids.

It’s kinda telling how blatantly paradoxical these two paragraphs are.

We haven’t exactly had a lot of Superman movies lately for it to have much to compare to. And it’s not like III and IV were any good at all, so there’s only two fairly old movies to compare it to. Since it actually had modern special effects to work with, all it had to do was be better than the mediocre Superman…

Ah, the Sir Michael Caine School of Role Selection. I can’t fault him for that, but damn do I hope he ends up in better films. He’s wasted on Superjesus.

I wish more leftist Americans had been as pragmatic. But hey, at least we’ve given you a free life lesson in what the worst can be.

Oh wow, I hadn’t seen the one with Chris Christie, who just stands there, utterly unmoved by it. Then again, you don’t win an election in Jersey without knowing how to deal with awful people.

It’s a pretty bizarre thing to add from the culture that was famous for armor and producing famous warriors that wore that armor. And EU was canon enough that they should have been judicious about how they contradicted it.

They backpedaled on it hard after it was first introduced and got a very negative reaction. …

That was the double retcon, yes.

While plotwise and pacing-wise, the inclusion of the Architect scene has some problems, it is a fantastic scene. How else would you expect an omniscient, ancient, godlike machine intelligence to act? The confusion and disorientation is well crafted, to mirror how everything Neo has been told is true gets pulled out…

Let’s rotate the board!

I barely played XWA, sadly, and it was significantly later than when I played Tie Fighter heavily. It was definitely a more intensive game though, especially if you had been playing the DOS versions of X-Wing and Tie Fighter, rather than the Windows 95 rereleases that used the XvT engine.

I feel like Castlevania is a vastly more adaptable story than any of those others though. At the core it’s about fighting monsters that prey on mankind without turning into such a monster yourself. The hard part is doing justice to the baroque environments and creatures. The stories are actually pretty tame, as far…

Shankar is, at least, very self-aware. He’s significantly more humble than this poster is making him out to be. Hell, he makes fun of his own Crow costumes all the damn time. This is exactly the kind of anger that he’s talking about in the interview. Dude just likes The Crow. If you could get away with dressing…

Isn’t that more a case of them stealing a name from an EU ship though? I don’t think the Flurry ever really got an EU-canon appearance, just a name and vague description, didn’t it? (Maybe it was in one of the endless WEG supplements I’m not familiar enough with.)

Yeah, it’s one of those things from the older days of video games. So many main characters had names and backstories that never came up in the game. TIE Fighter had a protagonist too, named Maarek Steele. And he was just as much of a badass as you could become if you were really, really good.

In fairness... they launched X-Wing before LFL was bought by Disney. The rules seem to have changed on them slightly since then, at least as far as the Minis games are concerned. It’ll be interesting to see what happens if they start running out of new-canon ships to adapt, because Rogue One and TFA certainly didn’t…

Inquistors can use the Force. She doesn’t have to be a Jedi to come back. Honestly, she was at her most interesting when she had reconciled her anger but still didn’t consider herself a Jedi yet.

I’m right there with you on despising the changes The Clone Wars made to Mandalorians. It’s very reassuring that Rebels seems to have rolled them way, way back, and now GCW-era Mandalorians are much closer (if far fewer in number) to the Traviss versions than they are to the bizarre pacifist culture that Lucas…

I doubt it. Seems like Voyager fans would probably be just fine with streaming it.

It’s not a weird thing to notice when either:
A) You’re not a white man
or
B) You realize that even if you are a white man, the majority of people in the world are not.
