Obi-Wan is referred to as "Ben" throughout the OOT. Is "Ben" a title?

I really hope that the prophecy isn't interpreted to mean that 2 Jedi + 2 Sith = balance. Prophecies in general are bad, prophecies that embrace evil are worse.

If new movies happen sooner i could easily see massive sith and Jedi armies, it just looks exciting.

It doesn't look exciting. It looks boring. It also destroys everything good about lightsabers. When it comes to lightsabers on screen at once, less is more.

Few lightsabers on screen at once = Star Wars, Many lightsabers on screen at once = glowstick rave

 tht's like saying all martial arts fights should be between 2 people in movies. You gotta mix it up a little, it's not 1977.

I actually do think that armies of sword wielders inherently suck. The reason that the OOT didn't have armies of sword wielders was because there were people to say no to Lucas, not because of technical limits.

Citation needed.

In "The Star Wars", everyone has lightsabers. In between the writing of "The Star Wars" and the production of Star Wars (1977), people said no to Lucas on lots of things. In the prequels, where nobody said no to Lucas, everyone has lightsabers again.

I'm just worried that the ST will continue certain prequelisms.

Like all bad guys being named darth, all bad guys using red lightsabers, ridiculous coincidences and everyone being connected somehow, jedi not being allowed to love, and stupid space prophecies?

yes

Am I the only one that sees the "Darth with the red lightsaber" thing as an integral part of Star Wars? I grew up with the Knights of the Old Republic games as an essential part of my headcanon so I can't really dismiss that.

Saber colors are divisive, but you are the only one who thinks that a character being called "Darth" is an integral part of Star Wars. If there needs to be a character called "Darth", doesn't there also need to be a character called "Ben"?

This brings me to something that annoys me about KOTOR: that it seems to have replaced the OOT in the minds of some fans and EU authors. I miss when the OOT was the guide to what is and what isn't Star Wars. I prey that JJ and Kasdan feel this way too.

The inspiration taken from Darth Revan doesn't bother me really (something we haven't seen in the live-action films before)

but that Sidious/Maul-style hood...

I'm just worried that the ST will continue certain prequelisms.

.Mac. said: I'm unsure, what do you guy make of this possibly leaked concept art for a VII villain here?

Absolitely terrible. That lightsaber looks really off and the costume looks like a generic Sith Lord.

Considering how darksiders are always killed by their own apprentices, it wouldn't be the first time that darksiders are a greater threat to themselves than to others.

Would be great to see a Dark side using Gungan for once.

Here a "long-standing Sith presence secreted on Naboo" is mentioned. Maybe Plagueis was a Gungan.

Koryo Songhay said: You think even KOTOR was bad?

KOTOR is responsible for a lot of the worst aspects of the Legends EU. The OOT and its characters are constantly hated on by Revan fans and KOTOR started a trend of armies of lightsaber-users everywhere and constant Sith Wars.

Tyrphanax said: I feel like his name was just shoehorned into the film as it was.

He's not even in the first draft. Instead, Palpatine claims to have created Anakin by manipulating midichlorians. I think that Lucas created Plagueis so that the Sith could create Anakin without Palpatine being Luke's grandpa.

They should have revealed that Jar Jar is Plagueis. ;)

Return Of The Sith

Too bad that there's already been a "return".

When TPM first came out some thought that Sidious was Palpatine's master. I guess they could have had Plagueis be behind the Invasion of Naboo, with Sidious rising to the position of master later on.

Carthage said:

What did you think when they first brought him up in ROTS?

I was surprised that Sidious ever had a master.

I'm nervous about who the villain will be and what the Jedi will be like.

I always knew Palpatine would defile the Jedi temple with blackjack and hookers. ;)

I love your sense of humor, Wook.

I saw something neat at the book store yesterday. It was a book with all three original books of the OT in one book called the "Star Wars Trilogy". Also, they called the first book Star Wars, not a New Hope, and I know that the title of the original Star Wars book was changed to A New Hope. This means they've changed the title back to Star Wars, which I think is really awesome, even if it is just for the original 1976 book.

That pleases me so much. 

The upcoming Tarkin novel reveals that the Jedi Temple became the Imperial Palace.

Does anyone really enjoy these silly massive multicolored lightsaber battles? I don't even think twelve-year-old me would consider this "cool".

Is this what people want? If so, then I feel very... different.

I definitely share your hatred of masses of lightsabers. Masses of lightsabers look like glowstick raves, not like epic battles.

I love that Droids in Distress is lightsaber-free.
