As creator of this thread, can I ban frevious from posting here? His histrionics add nothing of worth to a discussion.

I’d PM a mod and ask. It’s a legitimate question.

You could just make a rule against fatalistic, sky-is-falling posts?

Why didn’t I think of that in the first place? *d’oh*

I have gone and added Warb’s rules from his own failed “Politics 2” thread to the opening post. In there is this specific rule:

No ridiculous doom saying (like all non-Trump supporters will be rounded up and executed)

If frevious continues with his schtick here and I catch him, I will report him.

Sounds reasonable.

Good work, team!

Considering The Clone Wars is canon and considering what we learned about Obi-Wan and women during that series, I like to think he wouldn’t have any children.

Trying to keep spoilers to a minimum there.

This is a spoiler thread and I have no intention of watching the animated shows, please spill the beans. Or PM me. I need to know.

PM sent!

Considering The Clone Wars is canon and considering what we learned about Obi-Wan and women during that series, I like to think he wouldn’t have any children.

Trying to keep spoilers to a minimum there.

To that end, I prefer her being a random. But at the same time, we definitely know there’s some sort of destiny at play here. Parents don’t generally just ditch their kid on a desert planet full of horrible people for funsies.

I actually read a few of the Legacy comics and they’re not that bad but they’re not particularly good either. The only reason I could recommend someone reading them is if you’re interested in Darth Krayt. Supposedly he’s stronger than Bane or Sidious.

Is he a dragon?

He’s (SPOILERS?) actually a PT-era Jedi who named himself that for reasons pertaining to his character.

Wasn’t the point of Legacy to try and put themselves as far flung from the PT/OT era as possible while still allowing for ghost Luke, or do I have that mixed up with a different comic line? A PT era character seems out of line with that.

Yes.

So… yes?

Yes.

It didn’t stop the writer from rehashing everything from those eras, only more EXTREME!!!

Didn’t like the Rule of Two? Well here’s the Rule of One – ie. one Sith Lord ruling over an order of thousands of Sith.

Like Darth Maul? Well now every Sith is Darth Maul!

Found the Great Jedi Purge underwhelming? Well here’s another Jedi purge to make up for it.

Didn’t like that the New Republic eventually beat the Empire? Well here’s the Empire back again.

Legacy was the nadir of the Expanded Universe. It exposed for all to see just how bereft of originality the EU was by that point.

Yes.

Even I don’t find the sexual jokes I make on this site all that funny 90% of the time. I wish I could kick them for good.

You can. There was something I used to think I couldn’t kick here and it turned out I was wrong.

I wish you’d stop kicking me though.

Star Wars moving forward without Ms. Fisher
Time

What if Star Wars Rebels used photo-realistic animation (or as in the style of those trailers done for The Old Republic game). Would it be wrong to recreate a digital Peter Cushing analogue for that? Or should they be forced to take stylistic liberties with the look of the character? Would people have complained just as much (if not more) if they’d cast someone who had a passing resemblance to Cushing (they would have haha)?
