I'm so glad that they're avoiding that "eras" crap that plagued the Legends EU. All that Legacy and Old Republic stuff were the worst things to ever happen to Star Wars besides the non-release of the OOT.

How everything was executed in that lameass series

 

I'll never forget Obi-Wan telling Vader about Luke.

Then again, the EU was already dead to me by that point.

Is it possible that Rebels is trying to connect the prequels to the original trilogy? 

I've come to doubt that we'll see Sith because:

1. Lucas probably didn't put them in the treatments because of the Chosen One prophecy.

2. Disney and JJ probably won't add them because "Sith" is a prequelism and the prequels overinflated the importance of the Sith.

Tobar said: Could that be a hint that the Royal Guards are actually supposed to be Pau'ans?

Interesting theory. I always assumed that Royal Guards are just Senate Guards in red.

I hate how Yavin is the Tatooine of the EU. Ancient Sith spirits? On Yavin. Ancient Jedi city? On Yavin. The bugs that Palpatine used to torture the Death Star designer? On Yavin.

It's time that I take revenge upon the terrible trolls that infect this world.

At this moment, I want to take revenge upon TFN. They seem to remember the ANH opening crawl as saying, "The Jedi have won a victory against their archrivals, the Sith". They always talk about how the average person who doesn't know a thing about Star Wars knows the word "Sith" and uses it in their daily lives.

Of course, it all got completely reversed as soon as the godawful Legacy era began. 

I'm surprised that the legacy era didn't reveal that the Vong were manipulated by the Sith.

when it comes to prequelisms, "padawan" is probably the least offensive one, at least in my eyes.

I commend Rebels for avoiding the four-letter s-word.

They could've easily avoided the word "padawan" without contradicting the prequels.

 But why? Why the irrational hatred of that word? I've never understood it.

Bricklayers have apprentices. Knights have squires. Monks have novices. Why can't telekinetic space samurai have padawans?

Ask Ryan McAvoy. He's the one who was complaining about it.

You suck at trolling.

Which release even features the mono soundtrack?

 The 1977 release.

 Okay so are you seeking the impressions of time travelers, or the reflections from people's 37 year-old memories?

could we make another link, between the evil mad scientist Rotwang (who always dresses in black, and whose house is decorated with occult pentagrams) and the sorcerous Emperor of ROTJ?

Don't evil sorcerers wear black cloaks and hoods in every fantasy story?

Oh, and darklordoftech, putting in parenthesis why you think SE changes matter doesn't mean they'll matter to me.  So I'll say again, what about them?

Whether or not you agree with the opinion that I provided, it's a fact that I answered your question.

Fang Zei said: I'd also like to see the '97 SE remastered for blu-ray. It has historical value, it got a wide, record-breaking/setting theatrical release and the prints still play in theaters to this day. I certainly don't prefer it to the OOT, but it was the first time my generation got to see the OT on the big screen and I bet it's still the preferred version for a lot of them. Several of my friends told me how shocked they were (in a bad way) to get to the end of the RotJ dvd and see Hayden Christensen instead of Shaw.

This is exactly how I feel. Furthermore, the '97 SE doesn't have the lightsaber problems of '04 and '11.

But wait. If Boba was raised by Jango for the first eleven years of his life, wouldn't that give him the accent too?

Maybe Boba decided that he didn't like Jango's accent.

yoda-sama said:

What about them?

Didn't I put in parentheses why each of the three things I listed matters?

My point with the Boba voice is that if Morrison's Boba voice is canon, Morrison has to play Boba in spin-offs, but if Wingreen's Boba voice is canon, the spin-offs have the freedom of deciding who plays Boba and whether or not OT Boba and PT Boba are the same person.

moviefreakedmind said:

I don't think canon as far as SE's go is a concern, I don't think anyone is worried about whether or not it is canon that CGI green dinosaurs walk in front of the screen in Star Wars.

What about Boba's voice (affects who plays Boba in spin-offs), galaxy-wide celebrations (effects whether or not the Empire appears in anything set after ROTJ), and Christensen as Anakin's ghost (affects who plays Anakin's ghost in the future)?

moviefreakedmind said:

I honestly don't think ANYONE (fans or not) would care if they just got the OOT and not the SE.

I would like to see the 97 SEs.

Fang Zei said:

Let's not forget, the scream was added to Luke's fall in Cloud City in '97 and then removed in '04

I've heard that Matthew Wood actually removed the scream and when he told Lucas, he shrugged and said "OK".

I could see Vader saying no (in ROTJ) and Greedo shooting first going the way of Luke's scream.

In Disney's special edition, Yoda will say, "When gone am I, join Kanan and Ezra."

The idea that Luke had no clue that Palpatine could shoot Force Lightning. Yoda and Obi-Wan needed Luke to know about that, so there's no way that they didn't tell him.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Disney makes a McQuarrie edition of the OT.

Heero Yuy said:

and as for Yoda seemingly not noticing Ezra? You're talking about the dude who chatted it up with the Dark Lord himself yet couldn't sense him. Sorry, but Yoda IS fallible.

Yoda being falliable only works as an explanation as long as nobody ever tells Yoda about Ezra.

The Dagobah cave being a result of a dark jedi dying there kills all the mystery behind it, just like midichlorians.

Star Wars Episode VII - A Galaxy in Crisis

The heavy taxation on numerous systems, as wanted by the evil Princess Leia in order to buy new ships for the now old and rusty army of the republic, faces many oppositions in the galaxy....

In all seriousness, I don't think that a galactic government should exist when VII begins.
