Seriously, can any moderator tell me why the topic got locked not soon after everybody started trolling me, but when I (a prequel-lover, what a coincidence), started trolling them? Really?

In my observation, forums are full of double standards. Having a discussion that's not EU-inclusive on TFN seems to be a bannable offense, for example.

About "the start of the Rebel Alliance", Pablo Hidalgo said, "The TFU version isn't canon." You have no idea how happy that makes me!

Should I create a thread discussing the themes of the OOT?

A flying astromech...

Filoni remembered that R2 doesn't fly, so he introduced an astromech that does fly.

I hate how some EU fans are so indoctrinated in it that they flame anybody who suggests something that contradicts it.

Lower case start to the sentence, missing period at the end, and a complete lack of understanding what the problem is.

C-

The only problem I see at this point is that you enjoy flaming people. You changed the topic in order to avoid the truth.

Sorry for my outburst, by the way.

 Don't be, it was completely justified.

No need to fan the flames of a dispute that's been settled.

 Agreed.  So stop posting the same thing over and over and over, and the dispute will be settled.

 except the dispute already was settled

On TFN, they love Plagueis. I posted there that we saw Plagueis here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qAKXK_aLeA#t=114

imperialscum said: darklordoftech is trying to say that in OT Palpatine was not a Sith and presents that as some kind of fact.

Kasdan asked Lucas how Palpatine, who was never a Jedi, can use The Force, and Lucas responded, "Anybody can use The Force." If Palpatine was a Sith, instead of saying, "Anybody can use The Force", Lucas would have said, "Sith can also use The Force."

imperialscum said: Same goes for "Darth".

I just said that I don't like that the prequels made "Darth" a title. You than said it's a fact that "Darth" was always a title.

American Hominid said: The only other character who has a double/fake name in the OT that I can think of is Ben Kenobi, and Ben doesn't seem to be a title for him. So 'Darth' needn't, from the OT alone, be a title (though it works well as one).

Furthermore, Obi-Wan says, "A young Jedi named Darth Vader." The implication is that "Darth" is a first name, not a title.

I'm not fond of the way the Great Sith War was ultimately handled in the pages of the TOTJ storyline The Sith War.

Prior references to the war in other comics and books built the Sith War up to be this huge, galaxy-spanning war between the forces of light and darkness that spanned several years and brought the Jedi close to the brink of destruction. But when it was finally depicted, the war lasted all but under a year and consisted of a few battles in a few systems.

KJA was the writer, though, so it all makes sense; he's good at taking other peoples' ideas and sucking all the grandeur out of them.

 Where was the Great Sith War talked about before "The Sith War"?

I hate how some EU fans twist facts to support the EU. If you show them proof that the EU screwed up, they'll claim that it was actually the movies or the interviewee who screwed up.

 Well if the facts were established by PT I have no problem in twisting them.

 It happens with OT facts just as much as it happens with PT facts.

Plagueis surviving would make Plagueis a mary sue at Palpatine's expense. If Plagueis could become a ghost, why couldn't Palpatine?

I hate how the EU has the creation of the Rule of Two and the apparent extinction of the Sith occur at the same time. Yoda knowing about the Rule of Two makes it clear that the Rule of Two existed long before the apparent extinction of the Sith.

One thing we haven't seen in a long time is a Star Wars villain who is truly menacing. 

Having Boba get killed and replaced in between AOTC and ESB screams "petty retconning" to me. Most of the audience won't care who's in the suit when and if they will care, they could easily come up with an explanation for somebody else wearing the suit in the OT that doesn't involve either Boba dying.

I think that became Death Watch.

I also love TCW's willingness to contradict other EU. Peaceful Mandalorians forever!

This is just too funny to not post:

I would have included more political scenes. The lack of them resulted in confusion and shallower, more boring movies.

Ryan McAvoy said: they are not the same character

 agreed

I don't want any Darths. Vader not being the only Darth in the prequels was bad enough. 

I'm nostalgic for the pre-AOTC days when there weren't any armies of saber wielders and there was variety among the few Force-users who existed.

What if they hadn't made Palpatine a Force-user?

 Dear god, man! DO YOU THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE!?!?!?!?!?!

 I don't understand your need to flame people.
