Using that logic how could you ever have been excited for more Star Wars after the prequels?
Again, if inconsistencies with previous movies annoys you then how did you survive the prequels. Also, Lucasfilm is in control, not Disney, and selling merch has been a staple of these movies since ANH. Are you suggesting George Lucas didn't really care about the films and their quality?
For example, the placement of Kylo's scar is out of place in The Last Jedi. Such a little detail like that shows that Disney isn't really that caring about the films and their quality (outside of ratings), but more the money they'll bring in through tickets and merch.
I must admit I don't see the correlation between the movement of Kylo's scar and a lack of interest from Lucasfilm or Disney. As a fan of the two films they have released, they've showed me they really care about the franchise and pleasing the fanbase. As much as they can at least.
I'd agree there's room for improvement there, especially the ship design. None of the new ships introduced in The Force Awakens or The Last Jedi have matched the U-wing in Rogue One. It's the best new ship by far. You can tell they put so much time into getting it right.I'm hoping some new weapons, vehicles, and environments make it into the films soon. I think the films could get very stale if very little is actually added to the universe.
I can't really explain why that story was great but I hated the similar meta-jokey ending to From A Certain Point Of View. Probably helps to have the comedy of Luke sitting there indulging that nonsense.
It's a really good book. Fun Luke adventures from the post-Battle of Jakku period the mainline comic isn't touching.
In the image below from the Dec. 15 film, she and Finn (John Boyega) are piloting a craft to the casino city of Canto Bight, an interstellar Monaco full of high-rollers and dirty-dealers. Neither the ex-Stormtrooper (who's still wearing Poe Dameron's hand-me-downs) nor the grubby mechanic in her dust-and-oil-stained jumpsuit belong amid such glamour.
"The journey that she and Finn go seems pretty impossible, you can tell in this moment that she's very much aware of the dangers that they are about to face, but she's also logically in her mind problem-solving on the way," Tran says.
just finished reading Lost Stars
5/5 book right there, very good stuff.
now to finish From a certain POV audiobook and i can finally start on Leia
it's a shame i can't do that with an audio book.Leia book was awesome. I became totally engrossed by it. I read that right after Rebel Rising, which was also pretty great. Started folding corners, underlining planets and names. My books these days look like this:
Yeah, it was disappointing there was no SP, I'm glad they listened to fans and bothered to do a campaign this time. Hoping it's worthy of being part of the canon.Here here.
I didn't really care about Battlefront I aside from enjoying my time with the beta because I knew I wasn't going to play it since it was MP only. All I wanted back then was SP, so I'm pretty excited about it. The campaign stuff also looks pretty interesting, too, which is a plus.
Haha thanks. Who is it meant to be in your av?
It's James Comey, the former FBI director of the U.S. He was murdered (fired) by Darth Dorito (president Trump) but has become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
Haha, well may the force be with him.It's James Comey, the former FBI director of the U.S. He was murdered (fired) by Darth Dorito (president Trump) but has become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
I gave in Einchy. The first scene was worth it.

My resolve has NEVER been...weaker.
I can appreciate a good EP3 reference
Oh I love it. It's what I was hoping the international trailer would be. A few more teases but it still feels like a lot's being held back. The marketing has been on-point for all three films so far.I can appreciate a good EP3 reference
What did you think of the TV spot?
I honestly thought it was as hypy as the other two. Partially because it just completely caught me off guard with it's fucking awesomeness
Just imagine man.Oh I love it. It's what I was hoping the international trailer would be. A few more teases but it still feels like a lot's being held back. The marketing has been on-point for all three films so far.
Getting a better look at Snoke's throne room was a highlight too. Such a unique design. I'm looking forward to poring over the concept art for it in the artbook.
Damn. I just realized that Snoke could die in this film. I wonder if this confrontation is happening because Kylo's going to be the main baddie. Maybe Snoke decides to kill Rey because he knows she's a threat and Kylo kills Snoke to save Rey, for some reason. But yeah I can see that paralleling too close to ESB, because then you have a "join me" scene.It's interesting they're doing the Rey & Snoke confrontation in this movie rather in the last installment of the trilogy like last time. This is perhaps the biggest sign we have that things are (hopefully) going to take a different turn than in the OT. I'd definitely appreciate a surprise.
Even with all this talk about her raw strength, I don't see Rey beating Snoke on her own. Maybe Luke sacrifices himself in order to save her and then they confront each other again in the third movie?

Pretty sure it's this one, which was posted some days ago.
Honestly I was a little underwhelmed by the book because I was hoping for some meatier details about the post-ROTJ years. We got a little bit about Luke's adventures but I guess I should have expected there wouldnt be any big revelations considering the focus of the book. I really liked the Tide and exogorth stories since they added to the Force lore.
The Lugubrious Mote story was a waste that could have been cut though.
I'm not finished yet, but I went in with lower expectations in terms of meaningful lore just based on how the book describes itself as a collection of legends about Luke. There's a lot more meat in here than I expected.
So does From a Certain Point of View suck? I saw some negative impressions in here and that's next on my Audible list.
I've only read two new EU books - Lost Stars and Thrawn. They were both good, but they could as well be a part of the old canon.
Whatever I try to read something about the 'core' characters of the series it just feels so wrong. I've tried to read Aftermath when it went out, for example. It starts with Wedge doing odd stuff, and I couldn't focus on anything because i've been reading the X-Wing books regularly for the last decade or two and seeing stuff that contradicts it is hard to swallow.
Do you guys have this feeling? How do you cope with it?
Haven't experienced it yet. So far I've only read Thrawn, Tarkin, Ahsoka, A New Dawn, and Battlefront: Twilight Company.
But that doesn't sound too promising. I've read quite a lot of the old EU books (including the X-Wing series) and if the new books contradict with the old ones, I'll probably skip some of them.
Most people who read those books didn't notice them the first time around it seems.There were already contradictions with Legends in most of the books that you did read so *shrug*
