I just think it would have created an unnecessary burden on the filmmakers. I think it was better to start with a clean slate rather than have the burden of the EU, however good it was.

It wouldn’t be that to have someone say that they can and can’t do. Especially if you cut out a majority of the EU which is meh - shit anyway. There’s only a few things I would keep as absolute necessities.

And I don’t think it even matters if they’re canon or not if you can still buy them, though this comes from a guy whose personal cannon only consists of the movies.

Speaking of the films novels like Darth Plagueis makes Midichlorians a fascinating concept and made the politics and Anakin being Space Jesus tolerable. The Darth Bane Trilogy made the Rule of Two established in TPM make sense. We need stuff like this to improve the Saga as a whole.

There were plenty of great stories they could have preserved while leaving room for new canon stories to be told.

And they’re all available in paper back with a little yellow “legends” banner. What difference does it make if they’re official?

It would at least make the creators of the products efforts not seem in vain. For a while these people were under the impression that their works were official so to have Disney say “Yeah…you know all the hours you spent on and all the love you put into creating original stories that expanded the lore of Star Wars…we’re going to scrap all that so we can make more money”. Secondly, headcanon is good and all but every time I partake in EU material I find myself comparing it to what’s canon and I can’t stop my brain from conjuring up those thoughts.

The Hateful 8 - 8.1/10

I don’t like the fact that I didn’t elaborate on how I felt about this film so I will do it now. The Hateful Eight while being the 8th film made by Quentin assures me he still has it even though this is definitely his “weakest” film. Good plot with a nice twist, good performances, good characters (though a lot of them lack depth) and a good score make this a very solid film but the long run time drags the film down. If this film had been 2 hours and 15-20 minutes it would have been much better and dare I say better than Jackie Brown and Django Unchained. I’m definitely going to need to see this again before I can give a fair assessment of the film though since I gave his other 6 films the same consideration.

I agree. I loved the film but it still ranks lowest in terms of Tarantino’s other work.

To be honest I would have preferred a follow up to Kill Bill than this film but that just shows how much I love Kill Bill.

With the notable exception of the EU being scrapped

Disagree. I think that EU being scrapped was the right decision. Imagine if the ST had to be bound to the EU. Would make it a lot worse in my opinion.

Of course we wouldn’t keep the entire EU but if Episode VII had revolved around the Thrawn Trilogy it could have ended up being a better film. Also if we remove ourselves from the PT - ST eras the Old Republic Era didn’t need to be scrapped. There were plenty of great stories they could have preserved while leaving room for new canon stories to be told.

Nope. Lucas having no say over the direction of Star Wars is the best thing that could have happened to it.

It’s not your fault. It’s HansiG/Wario 64’s fault

To me 20 posts sounds better.

Considering that you would die from the raping I would choose the former

Look who’s an expert on horses.

Aw come on man. Why the long dick?

FTFY

TFA Poster:

1. No Luke

I feel that that was a good decision. Didn’t want to reveal a turning point of the movie.

It was common knowledge that the OT trio were reprising their roles. There was no reason to not have him on the cover

2. Starkiller Base (not so much the visual but the reminder that Starkiller Base is actually in the film

Starkiller Base:

1. The most overt rehash in TFA

I don’t really care about this.

In general I don’t care that TFA is a soft remake/reboot but at least a lot of the similarities it has with the OT are remixed or are made to be visual references. Starkiller Base to me seemed like a 3rd Death Star and that’s it.

EDIT:

I more or less agree with everything except nr. 5. I’ve never understood why science should be that important. We are after all talking about a series that gave us this.

You have a point and funny thing is I don’t care about the Space Whales in Rebels. But Starkiller Base being able to do that would have been easier to swallow if it were in the OT or at least the stepping stones to such technology being in the OT

Frank also has a good point about the base on Starkiller being smaller than the actual “canon”. Also Starkiller is mostly just a planet with a few bases scattered on it, and a large trench housing the canon. All in all it has roughly the same amount of technology as the two Death Star’s had, only stretched out over a whole planet.
Also the abilities to move about the DS on foot, and Starkiller, is more or less a plot necessity, or at the very least a way to make the plot more “grounded” and interesting. Thrre’s plenty of Sci-fi ways of doing it, but it would have felt slow and boring, and not have had the dynamic action that SW is known for.

Makes sense. Also I remember there being elevators in Starkiller Base so that would make it easier to traverse.

Isn’t it true sailors use to fuck Dolphins or Manatees while at Sea?

The kid hasn’t acted up in a while. If he stays that way I wouldn’t mind his presence.

Starkiller Base:

1. The most overt rehash in TFA
2. Even though it’s the size of the planet our characters move through it like a small base (which admittedly is a problem with the 1st Death Star too)
3. Felt like a lazy plot device to destroy the Hosnian System
4. Didn’t feel as threatening as either Death Stars
5. It’s able to fire beams that travel through hyperspace

It’s slightly better. The only thing that puts it on top is that it doesn’t have Starkiller Base on it. I even hate looking at that thing.

Who knows…that could be the key to truly making this forum great again.

How do I get the hash symbol text enlarger shit to work?

Here’s a hint, whenever you see formatting you want to use, just quote that post and you’ll be able to see the coding.

Did that. Didn’t know that you can’t do it mid sentence. I was trying to enlarge the word “rehash” in that other thread.

How do I get the hash symbol text enlarger shit to work?

Charming to the last

lol

Some more than others. Luke, Han and even Vader were fleshed out quite a bit more in comparison to the other films in the OT. Even when including the AOTC all of the returning characters with the exception of Anakin didn’t really develop much further from where they were in TPM.

No one whose been on the forum for barely two months should have almost 2500 posts.

You’ve clearly assumed it, but whatever, I’m too busy to find examples right now, so let’s just assume you really are giving religious people, myself included, fair consideration as intelligent human beings.

Which is what you should have been assuming this whole time. Funny thing is you’re the only one who seems to notice this intolerance you’re speaking of.

I am not referring to your ignorant generalizations of the Bible, I am referring to the fact that you literally said, “I hate Christianity.”

There are no generalizations. There is good stuff and there is bad stuff. For me the bad outweighs the good because there are other works in which I can learn the same lessons that The Bible teaches. Also “I hate Christianity” =/= “I hate Christians” but then again you already know that.

I don’t have time for a youtube video. I will simply say that if it was racist of me to say I hate black culture, it is equally hateful of you to hate religion. That was why I used my dramatic example. I have little time to post here, so I wanted to get some attention and draw the parallel that if you hate the chosen culture of a people, you in many ways are hating on the people themselves. Sorry youtube video, and sorry Lord Haseo.

It’s just someone saying “bullshit” but I’m glad I didn’t waste the time to find an informative video…not that it would have helped any.

Also that’s a very poor example you’re using as the line between saying “I hate Black Culture” vs saying “I hate Black people” is very minuscule while hating Religion and being okay with Religious people are completely separate.

Boy, you sure know a lot about me for having interacted with me so little and really not understanding my posting history. Nice assumptions.

You have been more or less the same thing but okay buddy.

Not even sure why you bring this up, honestly. I am calling your hatred of Christianity bigotry. Why did you even say this?

“Hate the sin, love the sinner”

That’s why I brought it up

But here I want to reassure you that I didn’t call you a bigot for hating the Bible. I am calling you a bigot for literally stating, “I hate Christianity.”

Christians are a group (which happen to fall under that umbrella of Christianity, which you hate).

You know what the funny thing about this is? This all started because I said I hate the Bible. I didn’t say that I hated Christianity or even Religion in general. Just some food for thought. Furthermore I believe the only person to outright say “I hate Christianity” was Darth Lucas and he clarified that he meant that he hated the Bible and not those who read it. So basically you’re bitching about absolutely nothing.

There’s actually a study that shows that Atheists tend to know more about what’s in Religious texts (primarily the Bible) than actual believers. As someone who used to be a “militant Atheist” a few years back I learned many things about the Bible to fuel my hatred of it and to know what I was talking about when I debated people.

Citation please? Just because I call it like I see it doesn’t mean I’m being overly sensitive. I have far harder discussions in real life with atheists. Why would I be too sensitive to handle featherweight arguments on an Internet board with people I will never meet in real life?

Pick any of the posts you’ve made accusing people of being bigots because they don’t like your religion. Also you bring up a good question but I have no idea why you’re crying so much to people you will never interact with face to face.

No, I think any firmly held belief can do that. Including atheism.
