Anakin had 3 movies to develop into some sort of character, so let’s wait until Episodes 8 and 9 before leveling this accusation.

Good point. Anakin also had a 6 season show.

What makes Rey frustrating for me is that she is used both as an audience surrogate (like Luke) and as a supremely gifted Chosen One (like Anakin). Because of this the film is constantly switching between allowing the audience to identify with Rey and alienating them from her by showing how mysterious and powerful she is.

I agree with this. I generally don’t buy into the “Rey is a Mary Sue” thing, since some of her abilities are explained in the nu-EU, but I just don’t think she’s nearly as relate-able as Luke.

But worst of all is the complete lack of backstory combined with the fact that TFA really has no driving motivation for any character other than plot advancement.

I have to agree. I really didn’t care about any of the characters, they only served to forward the plot. I’m definitely gonna be crucified for this; but I think that Anakin was a more compelling character than any of the protagonists in TFA (for various reasons, but that’s another discussion entirely). The only character I’m invested in is Kylo Ren. I guess the villains are just more interesting.

I once went to see

I will say, I understand peoples’ reservations about Maul being back, but now that he is back, I like what they’re doing with the character.

My thoughts about episode 2 of season 3 and my predictions for the following episodes.

(spoilers right here… if I’m right, of course!)

The person Maul is talking about at the end (“He lives!!!”) will be Snoke.
But Snoke will only be a ghost and will not look like the Snoke in Episode 7.
Maybe we will not even know his name at all.
At one point he will take possession of Ezra’s body and will be known as Snoke.
So for now I think the theory about Snoke “being” Ezra is true, from a certain point of view.
I would had that it also could be a reason about why Snoke is a CG character. Since Ezra is a CG character maybe they thought it would be logical to also make Snoke CG. (Honestly I think they look alike, kind of.)
I don’t see Rebels finishing with a “simple” death of Ezra. It needs to be something that serves a purpose.

No, I think it’s pretty clear that he was talking about Obi-Wan. Ezra was looking for the key to destroying the Sith, and he says that he sees “twin suns,” most likely referring to Tatooine. They were looking for different things, but they both saw Tatooine. That’s why at the end Ezra says he wasn’t sure if he was seeing what he wanted or what Maul wanted.

EDIT: I just read another interpretation. Perhaps Ezra said “twin sons”, which could be referring to Maul’s arc in TCW. Maybe Maul was talking about either Savage (I still hate that name, but it’s not like Sidious is a stroke of creative genius either) or Sidious.

I’m glad to see the holocron coming back so soon.

I wish yhwx had left with something a bit less vague.

He was socking like crazy, including the ones posting all the anime porn images.

That was discovered after he was banned, I thought.

What was the official reason HansiG was banned, again?

Dek, I think your mistake is taking anything Frink says seriously 😛

They’re just busting your balls.

Just came across this video;

https://youtu.be/MPH44H9K-T8?t=4m39s

It’s not explicitly about Star Wars, it’s about The Elder Scrolls, but there’s a 4 or so minute section about Star Wars canon. It should skip to that section automatically.

I understand not putting a Rebels character in RO, that just makes sense, but why not the other way around? Would be an opportunity sorely missed. Isn’t this what the story group is for?

They did put a Clone Wars character in RO though, so maybe. On a side note, I’d love to see how people react if Maul is in an upcoming movie. I’d bet that 90% of people think Maul is still dead.

the prequels should not be considered canon, because they’re bad films

I don’t think that’s how that works.

It’s been that way for quite some time.

I tried to write out a long and complicated fan theory, but I wound up disagreeing with myself. Whoops.

What was it?

Watched the new episode, and it was a’ight.

Kinda disappointed that they got rid of the Sith holocron so early. It looked like it was going down a super cool route, Ezra’s been using the holocron and he’s getting more power hungry. This seems like a really good setup for a season, but Bendu Ballet takes the holocron and we’re back to the status quo.

Vivaldi - Four Seasons + Asap Ferg - Dump Dump

Absolutely ridiculous, and I love it.

Starboy by The Weeknd and Daft Punk

Disappointing. I love the Weeknd and Daft Punk, but… I don’t know man. I was expecting more. When I opened Spotify and saw this song on the top charts, I had an initial reaction of “hell yeah!” and that probably skewed my opinion of the track. Under any other circumstances, my opinion may be more favorable, but my expectations were way too high.

Does Kylo Ren Have Any REAL Skill?

The premiere is tomorrow!

Who’s hyped for some sweet Thrawn/Maul/who knows what action? I know I am!

I’m not. I have no doubt that the premier and finale will be great, but I’ve got a feeling that the in between will be entirely filler. I don’t give a shit about sky-whales, I want to see Thrawn, Maul, and Vader, damn it.

J. Cole - She Knows ft. Amber Coffman, Cults

J. Cole has some amazing music videos. The subject matter of this one wasn’t anything special, but the directing really stood out to me.
