Not everyone shares your opinion that TCW Bane is “a generic Sith” or “not compelling” or that it’s a “problem”.

Can you please list the distinct personality traits, aspirations, and philosophy of the TCW Darth Bane? You can’t because he has no depth and there’s nothing to really build upon because the foundation of the canon Bane is hallow.

Just because we don’t know information doensn’t mean that it doesn’t have the potential to be interesting. And I can tell you that TCW Bane believes in only training one apprentice so that his apprentices don’t gang up on him.

He only wore the Orbalisk armor in Rule of Two. You would know that if you actually read the novels.

He could be talking about the “bald Alice Cooper” look.

I’m talking about the orbalisk armor, the bald Alice Cooper look, and the guyliner.

At least the final three episodes of TCW put an end to the EU’s everyone-becoming-a-force-ghost nonsense and Darth Bane’s silly EU design.

So far, we’ve gotten a new master every seven years (1997-2004-2011).

If Disney doesn’t release the OOT, I’d find it harder to forgive them then I did to forgive GL because:

1. GL created Star Wars in the first place.
2. GL gave us TCW.
3. In the era of GL, most people watched movies their tvs, which have color adjustment options. Today, people watch movies on their computers and phones, which don’t have any color adjustment options.
4. There was always another version ahead if there was something wrong with the current version. There was hope that things like lightsabers could be fixed in future versions.

Kevin J. Anderson confirmed in his facebook group that he designed the Sith species to physically resemble Vader’s mask and helmet.

What we have to remember is that George still left one of his good friends in charge of his company. She probably feels a certain obligation to honor his wishes. Didn’t someone ask her about the possibility of a restored OOT at a convention two or three years ago? I seem to recall reading that she gave a very calculated response of neither “yes” nor “no.”

In that case, I wonder why George’s “good friend” threw out his treatments.

In TFA, the lightsaber’s core sometimes becomes somewhat blue instead of white. This may be because in his effort to “stay true to the OT”, JJ imitated the SE lightsaber effects.

Since my GOUT Star Wars (1977) “skipped over damaged area” last time I watched it and I hate using Ebay, a GOUT re-release would actually be something to celebrate in my book.

The book quotes Lucas as saying, “One of the Chancellors began subverting the Senate.” I wonder if Lucas actually said, “One of the Presidents began subverting the Senate.”

I like the idea that House Palpatine was like House Dracula.

I want a film showing what Palpatine was doing during ANH. Show him dissolving the Senate.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Jedha turned out to be the birth world of the Jedi Order (or at least the source of their name).

Maybe “Jed” = The Force, “i” = “user of”, and “ha” = “land of”.

According to starwars.com, “Jedha is home to one of the first civilizations to explore the nature of the Force.” I wonder what this means for the Old Republic era.

I think teenagers should be illegal in general.

Then where are adults going to come from?

TV’s Frink said:

He’s just a TJW. Remember when he spent several pages arguing teens should have the right to buy smokes?

I once said 18-20 year olds, people old enough to be deployed to Syria, should have the legal right to buy smokes because I don’t want a precedent set for the voting age to go back up in the future, and if you think being out late can be compared to buying smokes, get back to me when you find a study that shows being out late causes cancer. Maybe if we treated teenagers like human beings and respected their right to peaceful assembly, they wouldn’t smoke and drink.

Tyrphanax said:

I never had any issues being out late as a teenager haha.

I’m glad to hear that. I didn’t have any issues being out late either besides my mom. Rarely if ever to suburban or rural areas have curfew laws.

Tyrphanax said:

Are they? I was a teen out late many a time and never had any issues.

I meant relative to Europe. Maybe it’s because of geographical or economic differences?

What is it with America and teen curfew laws? Teen curfew laws are so common in America, “the land of the free,” yet so rare in Europe.

According to the official databank, the deformation is purely because of lightning melting his face in the current canon, not an ulterior method. http://www.starwars.com/databank/palpatine-biography-gallery (The image with Palpatine’s “Unlimited Power” face has the caption you’re looking for)

That leaves the method by which Luke didn’t get deformed a mystery, but for that:

Starwars.com isn’t canon.

http://therealcharleslippincott.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/the-alan-dean-foster-interviews.html?m=1 This interview provides insight into what Lucas had in mind in 1977.

“No, there is another” always referred to a long-lost twin sister, but the long-lost twin sister was intended to be someone we hadn’t seen before, not Leia.

“The strain of all this exertion is what’s transforming him into the Emperor” - John Knoll, DVD/Blu-Ray commentary

However, in the Plagueis novel, Plagueis tells Sidious that you can become more powerful through an ancient Sith ritual that involves getting hit by Force Lightning, but will be deformed in the process.

There has to be more to it than getting hit by lightning because the “scars” are symmetrical and Maul and Vader also have yellow eyes.
