Palpatine's disfigurement

If you ask me Palpatine was enjoying his "disfigurement".

I like the optimistic direction of the pre-Vong EU. The galaxy actually moves forward and makes progress!

I would hope they toss the Lowry masters in front of a steamroller, and put the video of it's destruction on youtube. ;)

I believe in the preservation of all masters, no matter how bad they are.

What we've got here is a failure to communicate.

It can only mean one thing: invasion.

Tyrphanax said: On a larger scale, it's also about calling attention to the revisionist history thing. If Lucas wants to edit his films with every new release, he has that right, but what he doesn't have the right to do is to erase a piece of what has become cinematic and cultural history, and he has done this by making the once Special Editions into the now Only Editions and refusing to entertain the idea of releasing the un-specialized versions that made Star Wars such a part of our global culture. This is a much broader issue than just fans of Star Wars who want to see the movies like they saw them as children; in fact, there are several people who post here that aren't necessarily fans of Star Wars, but who disagree with Lucas' willful destruction of cinematic and cultural history, even Lucas himself is against it except when it comes to his own films.

Part of the problem might be that we're still yelling at someone who's not in control anymore. At this point, it's Disney who's being revisionist.

- Every single Sith starts out as a Jedi.

Not in SWTOR. :)

You are correct about that.

- Every single Sith starts out as a Jedi. What happened to bad people doing evil things?

- Every single cantina alien works for the Rebellion or the Empire. Are there any civilians in that cantina?

KOTOR, KOTOR II, SWTOR, Dark Nest Trilogy, Legacy of the Force, Fate of the Jedi, and the Legacy comics, for example.

CatBus said: Technicolor prints retain their color better than most anything else (assuming they got the right color to begin with, which was a bit of an issue with Technicolor in its earlier days, but not really with Star Wars), so for a color reference, you could do a lot worse.  So I agree wholeheartedly with Fang Zei, if you replace "can" with "should".

Speaking of color references, what did they use as a color reference when creating 97 ESB and 97 ROTJ?

Reading the New Essential Chronology has always made me nostalgic for a time when the EU was largely Sith-free.

We know that a technicolor print was used as a color reference when ANH SE was created, but what was used as a color reference when ESB SE and ROTJ SE were created?

This is too funny to not post:

And whatever they do, I don't want to see Glowstick Rave Episode IV (the prequels being the first three episodes of Glowstick Rave).

I'd love yellow sabers, period (along with orange sabers, purple sabers, white sabers, teal sabers, red-orange sabers, red-violet sabers, silver sabers, gold sabers, etc.)

I too am all for saver color variety. 

I'd love if they gave a young Jedi a yellow saber as a tribute to Luke's kenner toy.

How about something like the Imperial Knights from the Legacy comics? They serve a dictator but have no desire for unlimited power or to give in to their hate.

Imperial Knights. I love that they don't conform to the Jedi or Sith ideologies.

Drop the dark Jedi thing though.

Especially considering that Mandos can wield sabers (as seen in TCW).

There were many screw-ups in sith history, even before KOTOR:

1. Golden Age of the Sith and Fall of the Sith Empire are set way too long after the formation of the Republic and Jedi. 20,000 years of a Galactic Republic and hyperspace travel is still dangerous? C'mon.

2. Darth Bane should have been one of Exar Kun's followers. Did Lucas have to create another fallen Jedi incident?

3. Darth should absolutely not be a title. Darth being a title is like all Jedi being called "Ben (something)".

This armor worn by one of the Dark Jedi who discovered the Sith species will be wearable in SWTOR. So glad to see that this Dark Jedi didn't wear a Palpatine/Maul cloak.

So the third standalone film might be about a group of X-Wing pilots?

I'd be in for sure, if this rumor be true.

Me too. THIS is Star Wars at its core.

please dont flood the galaxy with Jedi.  They're too stoic and it made the PT too stoic.  Where was the comic relief?  Star Wars should be an escape and it should be light hearted and fun.  Stay away from the current hollywood trend that a darker mood is better.

It isn't canon now. Haven't you been paying attention? The old EU has discarded.

 I meant that it was canon.

I'm absolutely sick of Boba and Revan. I don't want to see anything involving either of them.
