The Sand Peopleâs language isnât actually a collection of animalistic grunting/barking; thatâs just how it sounds to outsiders when passed through their mask filters. Sand People may wear comlinks under their headwrappings which allow they to hear each other properly, or they mayâve learned to understand this âfilter talkâ as a type of secret language.

Are you trying to convince industry professionals to send you high quality scans which are now the property of Disney?
Eh, worth a shot. And still, the comics from 1984, it should be in the public domain by nowâŚ
Morally, maybe, but definitely not legally đŚ
Yeah. If we lived in even a quarterway just society, all this and more wouldâve been decades in the public domain by now.

Far as Iâm concerned, lightsaber colours should reflect the preferences/psyches of their creators. A Jedi head-over-heels in love would have a red lightsaber, an emotionally cold and aloof Sith would have blue, some guys just want to go with their favourite colours, etc, etc. If the prequel-era Jedi Order is a clique of groupthinking cultists, theyâd have a limited range of colours/hues â almost exclusively blue. But Lukeâs green lightsaber should be a signifier of his individuality and departure from the dogmatism of the old Order, and the various & sundry lightsaber colours of his students would indicate likewise.

I find the whole crystal bleeding thing to be pretty stupid.
It is.
Also new lore says the Death Star laser uses these crystals. So they special rare and âaliveâ but also so easy to mine in huge quantities? Absolute nonsense.
I believe the lore is that some of these crystals were originally components in ancient Sith superweapons. So how come theyâre green, if Sith need to bleed kyber crystals to make them work for them, and they only bleed red?
Filoni is full oâ baloney.

Emo shit. đ
In theory, I have absolutely no problem with the idea that lightsiders and darksiders would construct their lightsabers differently. Letâs start with the premise that lightsaber crystals are alive and possess some level of sentience, that they have wills of their own and wonât just let any schmuck use them as batteries in their gizmoes. The Force-user would then need to get the crystal to cooperate with them. For the lightsider, this would involve a lengthy period of meditation over the crystal to form a rapport with it, requiring deep concentration and patience. For the darksider, theyâd just use the Force to dominate the crystal, bending it to their will â the quick and easy path. But the difference between lightside/darkside lightsabers would be entirely psychical; theyâd feel different, not necessarily look different. But everything pertaining to lightsabers in official canon has been thoroughly fucked up since 2002. Just look at how TCW handles a Jediâs construction of their first lightsaber; the younglings go on an Easter egg hunt, then telekinetically mash the components together within seconds. Such a downgrade from how it once was tackled in older EU.

Then again Iâm a Spielberg apologist who finds some good in Tintin, and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And can defend the film AI. But I still hate the War of the Worlds remake.
The one scene I enjoyed from War of the Worlds was the peanut butter sandwich scene. The rest of the movie was a chore to sit through.

Lest we forget, the movies absolutely didnât BOTHER to tell us how the hell that lightsaber was found and brought back into the plot 30 years later. Remember that awful idea they had for the opening of TFA where after the crawl youâd think you were seeing a giant spaceship, but it turns into a force perspective gag where it would reveal its Lukeâs lightsaber from ESBâŚfloating through space for 30 years with Lukeâs severed hand still on it. Then it hits Jakkus atmosphere and the hand disintegrates but the lightsaber falls to the ground. And someone immediately picks it up. Just so dumb and awkward.
Who would have thought soo many of these directors would be so completely out of touch with making further stories and films?? Abrams talked about loving SW OT for years before there was a sequel trilogy and his work on Star Trek showed that heâd rather be making SW films. How could he have started Episode 7 like that? Now when directors get on an IP and mention being âhuge fansâ it makes me worry.
The worst fanfiction is written by the biggest fans. In 1997, I wrote sequels where the Rebels had to fight a Darth Vader imposter â really Luke & Leiaâs hitherto unknown younger brother â who commanded four Death Stars. Sometimes these fans grow up to realize how bad their fanfics were. But hacks like Jar Jar Abrams never grow up.

I havenât watched Rings of Power. I donât even enjoy the Peter Jackson movies, so I bided my time before deciding whether or not this show was worth my while, and Iâve decided itâs not. I just canât fathom the mindset that watched Season 1, strongly disliked it, and decided to go back for more.

I have the Dorling-Kindersley Star Wars Visual Guide of the OT, which came out in 1997, and there it says the Emperor looked the way he did due to his lifelong immersion in the Dark Side.
After watching TPM I expected there to be a progression of his Dark Side corruption becoming more evident with each passing entry, and I was sorely disappointed when ROTS establishes that actually it was due to Mace Windu deflecting Force Lightning back at him. So stupid.
I recall the official SW website came up with some bullshit explanation that actually Palpatine was using the Force to project a non-corrupted looking version of himself. Yeah right.
I think it was a mistake bringing McDiarmid back for the prequels. No shade against his acting ability, but Palpatine really needed to have been played by a much younger actor to drive home the severity of his dark side corruption. James Marsters I feel wouldâve been the perfect choice.

The best attempt at a consistent canon was between 1983 and 1998. After ROTJ and before the prequels. It was pretty consistent then.
The continuity was in flux even then. Ulic Qel-Dromaâs backstory as related in the Dark Empire endnotes doesnât line up perfectly with what we saw in Tales of the Jedi, as just one example. That said, the pre-1999 EU was more accepting of artistic license than what followed afterward.

Best way to fix SW is to build a time machine, travel back in time to any date between the release of TESB and the release of the 97SE, kidnap George Lucas, and drop him off on a deserted island.

I used to be a lot more charitable to TCW, because it was better than the prequels. But âbetterâ =/= âgoodâ, and in hindsight, itâs helluvalot clearer just how much of a hack Filoni is. Iâm not all that motivated to ever rewatch the series, but if I do, Iâll probably end up dropping my rating down to a 5/10, placing it right alongside ROTJ and TFA.
