Dude, Reylos have the most wholesome memes.
But he'll live on forever in our hearts.
No. Partly because you know the resistance isn't about to be wiped out, but mostly because the film isn't about Starkiller Base in the same way that ANH is about the Death Star. The Death Star is what drives the action in ANH; the plans, and rescuing Leia who sent the plans, is what spurs Luke, Obi-Wan, and Han into action. But Starkiller isn't the reason Finn escapes to Jakku, isn't the reason he and Rey team up and leave, isn't the reason why they meet Han, and isn't the reason why they go to stage a rescue for Rey. It's tangential to the characters.
ok, but that's a separate issue then, lol. Nothing to do with being derivative or not.
The plot revolves around rescuing a woman from an imperial installation capable of destroying planets as a small fleet of rebel ships target the weak spot before the weapon fires and destroys what little remains of the Resistance on stand-in Yavin IV, all while our heroine watches on as her father figure is cut down by the big bad. Come on, now.
While it is not as good as TLJ TFA is better than all the prequels and Return of the Jedi I really think.
The characterization and the banter between the heroes in TFA are some of the best in the entire franchise. The entire introduction of Rey is just...perfect.

So the Emperor will appear in some form in Episode IX. And according to Kathleen Kennedy, this was "in the blueprint for a long time". I wonder how long "a long time" is. Are we talking the time of the Disney sale (it just so happens that Ian McDiarmid made his first American Celebration appearance at the same convention where George broke the news of new movies to Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher)? Or could it go back even farther (A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back producer Gary Kurtz has claimed that the plan in the 70s was for the series to culminate in a clash with the Emperor in Episode IX)?
The plot does not revolve around things that don't happen until the third act.
It's important to note that there are two different versions of Lucas' sequel trilogy. There's the original version he conceived in the early 80s that he scrapped when he got bored of making Star Wars and decided to roll most of the ideas into ROTJ, and the second version he conceived somewhere in the early 2010s and sold the treatments to Disney. It's possible Palpatine was also in that second version.
That was Yoda but his advice was too cryptic to be of any real help.All Master & Apprentice is teaching me is that Jedis really need an in-house therapist they can talk to.
Homeboy honestly could have used one, too, tbh.That was Yoda but his advice was too cryptic to be of any real help.
So I've just realised that ever since Thrawn 2 I haven't read/listened to a new star wars book.
Have there been any new releases that are worth getting into?

They're probably reticent to publish a lot of that material on the off chance they end up mining it for future movies.All of this talk of Lucas' treatments makes me wish that we got a "What If"... series with his treatments, or at least an idea of what was in there.

RIP hopes of a TROS Entertainment Weekly article
Looking forward to that new season of The Crown, though!
Kaz and Yeager could easily be cast in a future live action thing. They'd fit into most parts of the universeShame it's ending so soon, but I bet we see those characters pop up elsewhere as LFL continues to build out the Sequel era.
Details on Sith Trooper merch:
Interestingly there's a shirt hosted on StarWars.com but not on the article and reveals some details on who might oversee the Sith Troopers:
Well, now I gotta watch Resistance.
I feel like Disney is really doing bad with TROS marketing. I hope things get better in the following months.
Not enough, they shouldn't follow TLJ's path, they must hype the shit out of this one. It's the end of saga, they must change their strategy.
