Star Wars: Episode VII to be directed by J.J. Abrams **NON SPOILER THREAD**
Time

I'm really starting to see your point of view now. I can get behind no resurrection of the sith.

I could -- provided the resurrection culminated with the Jedi and Sith actually resolving their differences and making peace with one another, maybe even actually merging together into a whole new religious order.

That'll never actually end up happening, though, or if it did, it would be executed horribly.

What do you HATE about the EU?

It's official. RT @KnightsArchive BREAKING: LucasBooks has confirmed to us that The Essential Characters has been cancelled. #StarWars #SWEU

Is the EU dead?

Maybe they figure since the EU's gonna get at least a partial reboot with the release of Episode VII, it'd be a waste of money to print a book showcasing a host of characters who'll be rendered non-canon in the near future.

I think the biggest thing going against the NJO is that it paved the way for the really shittastic Legacy era.

The Sith return, another member of the Skywalker clan falls to the dark side, there's another galactic civil war, the Empire is reborn, the Jedi are once against hunted down to near-extinction by the Sith -- bleech! It actually makes the PT look good by comparison!

The all-purpose ART thread!
Time

This next picture pretty much blows my Internet anonymity away. But what’s in a name, anyway?

And just in case anyone’s wondering, the lady to the right is Jennifer Connelly (I don’t think I have to spell out who the lady on the left is).

This is just a rough sketch I did while having to sit through a boring English class. It turned out pretty well for something I had no references for.

I titled this one Self-Portrait of a Serial Psychopath for obvious reasons.

This is a reworking of an earlier piece.

This was a World War I project I had to do for my Social Studies class. It’s full of deliberate anachronisms.

The Controversial Discussions Thread (Was "The Prejudice Discussion Thread" (Was "The Human Sexuality Discussion Thread" (Was "The Homosexuality Discussion Thread")))

I don't give a damn about homosexual acts...between consenting adults...conducted in private...with no attempt to shove it into the faces of others who might not appreciate it. I feel much the same about serious hetero acts.

 I'm curious what you define as a serious hetero act, and when it is shoved in your face.

 Watch any rap music video and you'll get what he's driving at.

I...ok, whatever. You don't agree with it but you don't have a problem with it.

Some of you people are even weirder than me.

Is it weird for a conservative/liberal person to support another person's right to be liberal/conservative even though they don't support their politics?

Personally, I like the idea of the Vong; a technophobic race of sadomasochists who use organic technology and can't be perceived through the Force is a rather interesting concept.

However, I'm not exactly pleased with how the concept was executed, I don't like that the Yuuzhan Vong War occurred right after the Galactic Civil War came to a final close, and I don't like how it impacted the main cast of the SW Expanded Universe.

IMO, the NJO era should have taken place thousands of years into the future, after everyone from the OT, their children, etc. were long gone, sort of like a reversed Tales of the Jedi

Did they really need Carbon freezing scene in ESB?
Time

Mavericks said:

So, if you decide to freeze Han, just take him from the cell, separate him from his campanions  and made the rest of your job. Why should Leia, wookie and even robots be kept together in all their way to the Carbon Camera?

For emotional resonance. The scene wouldn't have much in the way of gravitas if it was just Vader and a few ugnaughts in the room dipping Han into the vat.
