What movies do you consider canon? — Page 4

Kylo’s about 10 yrs older than Rey, so even if they are siblings, they can’t be twins.

Right…the only thing that would fix that is a retcon and I’d doubt they’d do that.

I thought Luke and Leia were different ages too. So long as it’s not explicitly mentioned, that detail can change too. Also I’m a bit confused as to why Luke and Leia had to be twins in the first place, and not just siblings.

IIRC, twins who don’t know they’re related goes back to ancient mythology, which Lucas studied.

Yeah, and the “don’t know they’re related” part usually involves them having sex before finding out.

As for Force Awakens, that’s in limbo. Will wait to see his this new trilogy holds up as a whole.

That’s a pretty smart stance imo

If VIII and IX end up sucking I’ll probably end up putting the ST out of my personal canon so that I may reinsert the Thrawn Trilogy.

RE# ended up sucking and basically already stained the whole ST.

That’s the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard. The PT would have been looked upon with favor if AOTC and ROTS were good films and we all know it. We would have seen TPM as a bumpy start to a good - amazing trilogy and the one you have to sit through to get to the good stuff. And to me ROTJ is a huge drop in quality in comparison to SW and ESB but the OT in it’s totality still works for me. You’re just looking for an excuse to hate the ST. No matter how good VIII or IX could be all you’ll be saying is that you think TFA sucks instead of judging the films based on their own merit.

The thing about the trilogy concept is that the setting and the story continue and characters remain the same. I did not like the setting and the story (rehash crap) and I did not like characters. These things will not just magically disappear in VIII and IX.

And I am not just an grumpy old OT fan either. I loved R1 because it was actually good. RE# on the other hand was unfortunately crap.

I’m screenshotting this for when such a time arises so I can shove it right back in your face.

I am not sure what would you be trying to achieve? I might not even see VIII and IX. And even if I will, they will be strongly tied to what RE# introduced, so the probability of me actually liking them is rather low.

What the heck is RE#?

Maybe use an acronym the majority of people here actually recognize so we don’t have to guess? Thanks!

Though you can’t really convey your grievances in a satisfactory manner (mostly due to a lack of knowledge of the source material) I feel you.

Rogue One was good; that we can agree on. Though to the degree in which it was good and the reasons why we thought it was good are likely different.

Please don’t so I have a legitimate reason to ignore you when they come out.

And if he’s going to make up his own term make it seamless and aesthetically presentable. His acronym looks like shit.

If they weren’t twins, how would you explain that Vader didn’t know his wife was pregnant not once but twice? He didn’t know about Leia.

Good point, honestly I haven’t fully thought this through, but I also don’t think he’d not have to know his wife was pregnant twice. He could have been well aware of Luke’s birth, nothing in the first two movies implies he wasn’t (George even altered the dialogue in ESB to change that!), plus that would make the “Your father wanted you to have this” not an outright lie. He may have been led to believe Luke had died in a Jedi purge.

Silverwook’s explanation alleviated my confusion, but I still think making Leia a Skywalker was a mistake.

It’s strongly suggested in the Star Wars To Jedi:The Making of a Saga documentary that Leia being the sister was invented at the last minute, to give Luke a motivation to go nuts on Vader.

As far as ROTJ goes, that sounds plausible.

There’s really no difference anyway as all he does is rehash other people’s arguments.

I wish there was some way I could filter out posts containing the keywords “truth”, “rehash”, and “Gary Kurtz”.

If the ignore feature comes back you can just use it on Impscum, Mala, and Alderaan, and you’ll be good to go.

Your whole truth shtick doesn’t work here as I have fact checked you on numerous occasions. The more opinionated topics are a different matter.
