I can't wait for Marvel to get the comic license back.

I can't wait for episodes vii, viii, and ix to anger those who claim to be "open" to retconning.

I would definitely prefer an Imperial villain over a Sith villain.

i have a feeling this trilogy won't happen.

Why is that?

Anyway, TFN seems to want another black-cloaked, yellow-eyed, lightning-shooting villain. I had no idea that TFN is that bad.

If we attempt to outdo ourselves we're just going to end up with something lamer.

 Exactly. Attempts to outdo things are the path to the lame side.

How about Vader-Maul-Grevious hybrid clones with quadruple-bladed lightsabers in each hand ;-)

It's hard trying imagine a new Big Bad that could compete with Vader, even if the prequels destroyed his character

 

 I don't want to see any attempt to outdo anything.

^We finally agree on something Star Wars related ;-)

There's other Star Wars-related things you've said that I agree on. Anything involving Sith and/or EU in particular.

Will Disney at least correct the colors? They don't need the original anything, and I doubt Lucas cares.

Tack said:

I really don't know the rules of the Star Wars universe.

I thought that was the way it always was, just that Jedi and Sith were formal kinds of training.

 You need an unusually high number of midichlorians to use The Force. Jedi and Sith are both organizations.

 I think it should have stayed that way. Why should you have to join those organizations to use The Force?

Also, Palpatine wasn't a Sith.

I hate the Sith more than I hate Jar Jar, midis, the acting, or the dialogue.

"Enter the Fett" is really funny.

I like that there's non-Darth, non-black-cloaked, non-red-sabered Sith in Tales of the Jedi.

Tack said:

It's similar to mine, which was just Luke amassing an order of force-sensitive beings, while a loyalist group pursued him.

So, yeah. I'm in support. It reminds me of the Avatar: The Last Airbender sequel comics. They don't have the same monumental threat as the series, but they're still compelling and enjoyable stories in their own right. Maybe that's the sort of change of pace we need. Focus more on the peaceful side of being a Jedi knight. No prophecy or any of that.

I'm definitely in support.

 Infinite applause for this post.

How about something like Ultima 4?

It's a post-war galaxy, and Luke has quietly gathered some disciples over the years. They set out on a quest to do good throughout the galaxy, hoping to become an inspiration to the people and make the mantle of Jedi mean something again.

 I love that idea!

^That's what I ask myself in regards to almost every comic book movie that's been released lately. I'd rather see Batman face a schizophrenic child killer who lives in a rat-infested apartment building than some international terrorist organization who wants to bring the First World to its knees.

Agreed.

 Also agreed. 

Tack said:

We have to have SOME sort of conflict, don't we?

I say yes. Maybe loyalists of some kind, or something similar.

 "galaxy-wide" is the key phrase. There's also smaller conflicts.

Yes are no to another galaxy-wide conflict?

I don't want to hear "evil can never be destroyed". Star Wars is supposed to be escapist. There's a reason ANH was created.

If the thing was set right after the ROTJ, the potential would be huge. There would be Empire collapsing and we would get a strong imperial remnant. No matter how unoriginal that may be it is by far the best enemy. Then there would be criminals who would have way more power in this chaotic transitional era than they would 30 years after when a stable republic is established.

 I agree.

I vote for Palpatine having an apprentice who's not called a "Sith".

 Oh please, no more secret apprentices.

 Oh please, no more fallen Jedi.

Well at least fallen Jedi are fresh in the sense that they do not parasite on and pollute the OT characters like The Force Unleashed did.

I think fallen Jedi undermine Vader's redemption, no matter how unrealistic that may be.

DuracellEnergizer said:

There are so many historical figures/events that come up/are mentioned in the EU that are leaps and bounds ahead of the Sith in the interest department, but they only get mentioned briefly or alluded to in vague comments or in articles while series after series focusing on the monotonous, two-dimensional Sith and their homogenous Sith Wars are churned out year after year.

I really can't help but to wonder at how the EU would have developed had the PT never been made. There certainly wouldn't be this one-track fixation on the Sith at any rate.

I agree. I'd love to learn about the Pius Dea crusades, the Alsakan conflicts, the Hutt Empire, etc.

Droid armies are nothing new in Star Wars.

I don't see how it could be done in the new films without reminding people of the prequel battle droids though. Maybe if they were absolutely terrifying?

The use of droid armies seemed to have fallen out of favor by the OT, as the Empire didn't use them.

 hang on a second, is that a crystal skull????

 IIRC, it's the emblem of a long dead evil despot, whose ancient treasure laden spacecraft certain characters are trying to find. I really need to reread the Daley books one of these days.

  Xim the Despot is much more interesting than any Sith.

I hate that the prequels made Palpatine a Sith. It takes away from the awesomeness of Palpatine as an individual.

I vote for Palpatine having an apprentice who's not called a "Sith".
