It's too bad that the TFN thread got locked because I wanted to post "that Plagueis is alive" in that thread.

 We don't want nor need outside forum drama being dragged in here. With the renewed interest in Star Wars, we'll have enough shenanigans as it is.

LOL, we have all the shenanigans we can handle around here without renewed interest in Star Wars.

True, but the influx of new faces around here is just getting started.

I think it is quite arrogant to talk with "we" like that. Especially since that stuff did not break the four forum rules.

 You want to get into flamewars with other sites? It's a great way to start. Kindly do it without this forum. Things weren't always so tranquil around here in the old days. You've been a member of this site a little over a year. If you want to pick a fight with the mods, be my guest.

Yes, please pick a fight with Wook.  I love when people don't know who they're messing with.

No, I don't want to get into any flame wars. I was generally referring to forbidding of posting links to external forum.

If you do it respectfully I don't see why would it be prohibited. KilroyMcFadden thread title was indeed provocative but if he named it "Interesting things from TFN" would it still be labelled as inappropriate? If so I think this should be stated in forum rules somewhere. If I refer to Bingo, no rule should be "confidential".

 When you start a thread that links to another forum with interesting information, it most likely won't be prohibited.  However, the topic being questioned had Moderator Headache written all over it. 

Our board has gained some visibility the past couple of years, a lot of it on more respected film and entertainment sites. The attention has been positive and respectful.  We would like to keep it that way, as well as returning the sentiment.

...if he named it "Interesting things from TFN" would it still be labelled as inappropriate? If so I think this should be stated in forum rules somewhere.

Do you really think any topic linked to a Star Wars board with markedly different views from ours is going to stay civil for more than a few hours?  Particularly if the only thing not incendiary is the title.  We shouldn't have to spell out common sense guidelines.

So if I got that right, we should avoid posting links to interesting TFN posts, no matter how civil we are about it? By "interesting" I mean the one that contain opinions that contrast general opinions here on OT.

 TFN has a long history of forum posters having views contrary to those this site is all about. There are probably others. There was even a blogger who was openly critical of us, even though they professed to never actually visit here.

How many times can you beat the same dead Taun Taun? What value does it bring to a discussion here?

I don't want any episode 7-9 villains to be revealed as the power behind Palpatine's or Mothma's throne. To do so would undermine those characters when there's absolutely no need to.

Plagueis in episodes 7-9 would be The Fallen in Transformers 2. It's knocking down an existing character in order to prop up a new one.

Disney is a place "where dreams come true." ;)

They actually could take inspiration from any of the EU if they wanted (if so, hopefully only the good), such as Thrawn or a Thrawn-like character. I'm certainly open to that.

Perhaps we should all wish upon a star?

 How about if they're the power behind Mothra's throne?

I like the military genius aspect of Thrawn, but I don't want to see the art analysis aspect. Studying art is cool, but it's not going to help you predict a battle.

That'd be groovy.

If Plagueis somehow does appear, he better not be a Muun. Muuns are ugly Voldemort lookalikes.

I don't see how he can show up without having to explain why Palpatine said he was dead, especially since it's implied Palpy did the deed. It either means Plagueis does a very good Norwegian Blue impression, or Palpy lied. And why lie about killing a guy Anakin never even heard of?
