I could ask the same about your Disney hatred, Zerome.

Just let people have their own opinions without them being ‘paid off’ or anything.

You didn’t answer my question.

The Star Wars franchise has been inconsistent in their portrayal of Dark Side corruption.

In the OT the only instances of Dark Side corruption are Vader and the Emperor, with both having very pale skin, and in the Emperor’s case in particular, yellow eyes. Later we meet Darth Maul, who has the yellow eyes characteristic of the Dark Side, but retained his youthful appearance throughout the twenty years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Count Dooku shows no signs of Dark Side corruption implying his fall to the dark side has been relatively recent or he doesn’t draw from the Dark Side as much as others do. ROTS really screws up the whole notion of Dark Side corruption by revealing the reason Palpatine looks the way he does in the OT is because of Mace Windu deflecting the Force lightning back at him (I always assumed it was because of his many years immersed in the Dark Side), and finally we have Anakin Skywalker whose eyes only turn yellow when he’s really angry or something. Finally we have Snoke and Kylo Ren, with Snoke looking very old and decrepit but doesn’t have yellow eyes even though he’s established to be a longtime practitioner of the Dark Side, and Kylo Ren who been a Dark Side practitioner for at least ten years yet doesn’t show the slightest hint of Dark Side corruption.

This franchise seriously can’t make up its mind regarding the whole dark side corruption subject.

I will help you with that, Disney doesn’t count as cannon. Only the Expanded Universe counts as cannon in this case, cause the EU makes sense when it comes to Dark Side Degradation.

They’re both cannon because they’re both explosive and damaging.

Why so much EU hatred from you Duracell?

Because 50-60% of it is deleterious garbage. But that should please you, no? That leaves 40-50% which is better than anything Disney has churned out.

Are you Kethleen in disguise or something?

No, but I wouldn’t pass up the chance to get in her pants.

Check back a few posts and you may better understand where Duracell was coming from . Everything is not all about you but you seem to take it that way .

I’m just asking him why he hates the EU. This doesn’t concern you.

I’m at a total loss for words. What can I say except please for the love of Hades control your over-active sexuality. I asked you about why you hate the EU not about who you want to “do it” with. Please respond intellectually and unlike Screamsinthevoid please keep this impersonal. I only want to know why you think the way you do.

It is always interesting to see which ideas had been bouncing around in his head for a lot longer than you might expect. Of course, those old behind the scenes peeks inevitably reveal how other ideas changed over time - the Republic still growing on a wild frontier, for example, suggesting a very different feel than the prequel’s eventual version of the Republic.

I actually made a thread about this, and the whole 1977 “interview”, a few years ago, and I wouldn’t put too much faith in anything claimed in it. Turns out that Lucas tampered with that interview when it was printed in the “The Making of Star Wars” book in order to make it more compatible with the PT.

What’s interesting though, is that this version of Threepio’s origin was eventually canonized in a comic. So in Legends canon, Threepio was never actually created by Anakin, but rather just rebuilt.

Why didn’t Disney/Lucasfilm choose the filmmakers of RO for Episode IX? Like Chris Weitz & Tony Gilroy to write the script and Gareth Edwards to direct it?

I guess because of all the creative differences? JJ is a known quantity, akin to Geoge hiring someone he can control for ROTJ.
