Those who have have never seen Flash Gordon or Hidden Fortress or read a space opera think the original Star Wars is extremely original, the first of its kind! This is as far from the truth as you can get. Star Wars was designed to be unoriginal. It’s a mix of everthing George Lucas loved and put into the context of Joseph Campbell’s monomyth, the common story behind all stories.

Let’s not forget THE GUNS OF NAVARONE and Dam Busters

Star Wars even in it’s genesis has never been completely original and it doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

As a mixed man I really don’t know how to respond to this but all I’ll say is that characters should transcend race. Finn for example doesn’t strike me as belonging to any ethnicity; to me he’s just a person.

Exactly. Same with Rey. Same with Lando.

Plus in a Galaxy where multiple species of sentients intermingle why should the race of a Human be pertinent at all? This whole discussion was rather ridiculous.

Man, this thread got quiet. Think again before criticizing the Force Awakens of its originality!

Why beat a dead horse? Also with people saying TFA is a rehash of ANH even in times when it’s not warranted why contribute to that?

Who’s the guy at the top? Was he in the movie?

Cameo appearance I think. I might be wrong about that though.

Thank you.

I am joking but I have seen a theory like this.

For me the “Snoke is Leia” theory is the first thing that always comes to mind.

SPOOLER ALERT

Supreme Leader Snoke is… Yoda!

Evidence

1. Yoda and Snoke have never appeared together.
2. Yoda has never been critical of Supreme Leader Snoke.
3. Supreme Leader Snoke’s true size has intentionally never been shown.

lol to Supreme Leader Snoke theories

I hope you’re just joking here. I mean the “Snoke is Vader” theory is wild enough but this is lunacy.

The Resistance giving him a big funeral, that makes sense, but these guys doesn’t exactly look like rebels or politicians (not to me anyway). I also doubt that Leia would invite a bunch of criminals to Han’s funeral.

Maybe they were good friends of his. Scum maybe but good scum like Hondo Ohnaka.

Unless of course they are the ones who eventually cause the trouble that will undoubtedly happen.

That’s a bit more viable. Maybe they and The First Order attack in unison. Just like how Kanjiklub and the other guys were going to give BB-8 to The First Order; when the occasion calls for it they work in tandem. Would be kind of like how Vader used bounty hunters in ESB.

I’m warming to the idea of this being Han’s funeral. Does this mean we’re going to Corellia?! I’d really love that. I’m not itching to see Tatooine or Bespin again any time soon, but it would be cool if the ST takes us to some OT planets that were name dropped but never seen rather than sticking to completely new places like TFA did.

That’s something I’d love to see too, but I’m wondering why Han would warrant a big fancy funeral filled with gangsters. Was he really that we’ll respected a smuggler? Then again we don’t know exactly what he’s been up to in the thirty years between ROTJ and TFA.

He’s still the guy who helped Luke blow up the Death Star.

He also was instrumental in disabling the deflector shield in the Battle of Endor. As far as I’m concerned Han deserves a goddamn statue.

But is it pertains to story purposes Maul trying to kill Vader makes sense seeing as how much Sidious put him through. Also the fight in theory would be better than Vader vs Ahsoka.

Wow Fink. I think your kids may be autistic.

No matter the misdeeds I do in life I at least know I could never stoop that low. Thanks for proving that I’m not as bad of a person as I make myself out to be.

Anywho…Frink I’d love for you to do this with AOTC. TPM would just put them to sleep 😉

Don’t remember if it was really ruined in TCW: Yoda just happened to meet a fake Darth Bane ghost.

When Lord Haseo says “ruined,” he means “differed from the Darth Bane novels.”

Here’s a reply I made to someone on Youtube regarding the same subject:

The Darth Bane in TCW is for all intents and purposes a generic Sith. Darth Bane’s temperament, mannerisms, rationales and mindset in the novels are what make him interesting. The Darth Bane in the Karpyshyn books would have found the phrase “I created a legacy so resilient that now you stand before me.” to be woefully pathetic. A useless exercise in boasting that wouldn’t have resulted in anything. Especially since the Dark Side hadn’t exactly prevailed just yet. Also the Darth Bane in the novels wouldn’t be worried at all if he’s feared by Yoda. He would note it in his mind (if at all) and move on. Such a petty thought would have been worthy of a lesser Sith.

“they let him keep his contributions to the mythos.”

All the canon Bane did was create the Rule of Two. None of the other shit from the novels carried over.

“How do you know this Bane couldn’t be just as good if not a better character than the non-canon one.”

It’s possible but seeing as how they wrote him to be a generic Sith in TCW that doesn’t bode well. The reason Darth Bane is so liked is because he’s so different from the myriad of Sith Lords who came before and after him.

Also it’s been a while since I brought him up so I don’t get why you’re on my nuts about this.

Just wish they didn’t ruin him in TCW.

Is it neccesary to fellate the Darth Bane trilogy at every oppertunity?

Did I bring him up out of context? No I didn’t so what’s your point pal?

MalàStrana said:

Darth Bane stuff ? I’m on !

Ditto. Just wish they didn’t ruin him in TCW.

Also I don’t know if you’re joking or not.

Let’s waste valuable resources on finding one man when we have a solar-system destroying behemoth breathing down our necks.

My one big gripe with TFA is that it couldn’t make up its mind on what the mcguffin is. It kept abrubtly switching between the map to Luke and Starkiller Base. In contrast, the Death Star is consistently the mcguffin in Star Wars (1977).

No, the mcguffin was the map to Skywalker. The only time anything switched is when Kylo Ren said to forget BB-8 in favor of Rey.

MalàStrana said:

They can’t fixate about that anyway, because of the inconsistency between III and VI (“Leia didn’t get the question that’s all, no way she can remember our mother !”).

Well in Shattered Empire (I think) Leia felt some sort of connection to a picture of Queen Amidala. Plus I’m sure by the time Leia and Han conceived they had been told by Luke about Anakins history. Assuming they kept in contact.

ATMachine said:

I for one am amused by the idea of Luke Skywalker throwing Han Solo’s funeral procession into chaos.

The funeral would be an opportune time for The First Order and/or The Knights of Ren to attack our heroes.

As much as it pains me to say it the number would be in the around the 80 percentile. But a decent part of that is due to us living in the Age of Contrarian.

There’s also been rumours about Mark Hamill being in Dubrovnik

If Dubrovnik happens to be a Naboo city, and if Rey is related to Luke, would be quite cool to see them in front of Padmé’s grave

That would be great so long as they don’t fixate on it. It should definitely be something in the background.

Tobar said:

As such, since you’re left with a living Maul, might as well square him off against Vader.

Also there’s no way anyone can call that a bad idea without using the cop out excuse of “They’re only doing it to be cool and to appease the EU fans”.
