Other than Jar Jar and midichlorians, what don't you want in episode 7? — Page 7

All I have to do is close my eyes and think of you and there you are. :')

To be clear, I interpreted "The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of The Force"' to be like saying "Having the strongest firepower is insignificant next to the power of a good admiral."

I don't get:

1. How would a Sith be any less of a rehash than an Imperial? How is the ansence of the Sith "taking things in a new direction" if the absence of the Empire isn't? How is Star Wars about Jedi vs. Sith yet not about Rebels vs. Empire?

2. Why can't a Force-user call themselves an Imperial? You can have Imperials without the Empire.

 Also, does a force user who is not necessarily evil, but just morally not in line with the Jedi (like if Han Solo in ANH were a force user) have to automatically be a Sith Lord?

Absolutely not. Not everybody who disagrees with the President is a member of Al-Qaeda. One of my biggest criticisms of the EU is that everyone who disagrees with the leading Jedi Master of the time becomes a Sith Lord.

Not all EU is like that.

Not all, but plenty.

edit: nvm

No Jedi forbidden to love bullshit, or forbidden to marry and have children.

This so much.

 Both Sith and the Empire would be a rehash. I'd rather not see either in the sequels.

A Force user could call themselves an Imperial. They could call themselves an elephant if they wanted. Without an actual Empire backing them up they are just appropriating a lost cause. Like U.S. southerners who still wave Confederate flags. Utterly meaningless.

I also wouldn't want to see a repeat of the prequels where a Force user actually goes about building an Empire. We already know that makes for bad cinema.

Any Force-user who seeks to rule the galaxy without an actual Empire backing them up would be "just appropriating a lost cause", whether they call themselves a Sith, an Imperial, or something else.

If nobody goes about building an Empire, nobody is going to be ruling the galaxy.

What's wrong with new saber colors? 

I would like them to either use every colour of the rainbow for lightsabres, without regard to affiliation, or give colours symbolic meanings. I prefer the former, but the latter is far better than what we have now.

Excessive lightsaber use. 

There has to be a least one quintessential duel. Obviously not every character has to brandish a lightsaber every five seconds like ROTS though. 

I believe this is the "what don't you want in episode 7" thread.

I'm ok with what Carthage posted.

Apologies, Dark Lord of the Thread. I will defer to your wise judgement in the future.

It's more that I created the thread than it is that I'm wise.

Double-bladed lightsabers with two different coloured blades. It looks stupid in fan art, it would look worse in a live-action motion picture.

 ALLOL!  Thanks for that delightfully silly response.

Shrinkage.

No kidding. If Chewie's any shorter than he was in ROTJ...!!
