It may be that we’re doing certain things on this forum that are detracting women and girls.

Of course we are. We’re talkin’ the extremely nerdy minutia of Star Wars.

See, you’re already expressing biases here. That shouldn’t detract away users. There are plenty of women and girls who like Star Wars.

How many of those people are going to come to a forum, a rather dated website format, when you’d be more likely to be discussing it over at /r/StarWars, or hell, just with other people in person? The amount of anonymity that comes along with making an account here is enough reason to suggest that it doesn’t really matter who you are. You just need to hate the prequels, find ROTJ mediocre, and be repeatedly blown away by Dre’s algorithmic skills.

Guess I should leave then…

My personal canon:

Most of the Thrawn Trilogy (replace Jaina and Jacen with Ben)

Not that I’m complaining or anything, but how exactly do you make that work?

(Do you skip certain chapters, lines…? I mean I too nitpick my stories, but this sounds somewhat complicated.)

Last time I read them was before TFA, but IIRC they aren’t even born until halfway through The Last Command, so I just imagine that Leia was having one kid instead of two. I don’t skip any chapters or anything.

He didn’t even do Watchmen right, did he? Never watched it but I heard he took out all the stuff to think about and replaced it with SLO-MO-SEX VIOLENCE EXPLOSIONS WHOO

Also, Dan (Nite Owl II) going from insecure, sentimental guy just trying to help to hyper-confident borderline sadist.

Can anyone confirm? I don’t feel like watching a four hour movie.

Yeah, at least Donner had respect for some version of the character (that seemingly being Silver/Bronze Age). Snyder seems to hate all versions of Superman through the years to the point where he is hell bent on ruining Superman for everyone as we stand helpless to do anything about it.

That doesn’t sound quite true. From the outside looking in, I’d say he definitely loves Frank Miller’s version of Superman – that is, Frank Miller’s awful, awful, awful caricature of Superman.

Frank Miller’s Superman is Mr. Rogers compared to Snyder’s Superman. Then again, my only knowledge of Miller’s Supes is TDKR Animated Direct-to-DVD movie, I never read the book.

My personal canon:

Star Wars (A New Hope)
Some of the newer Marvel comics I guess
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Most of the Thrawn Trilogy (replace Jaina and Jacen with Ben)
The Force Awakens

Probably will be included eventually:

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
The First Order Strikes Back (VIII)
Rey-Turn of the Jedi (IX)

Somewhat Less Likely to be included:

The Clone Wars (need to rewatch to decide)
Han Solo: A Star Wars Story
