I think so. Rian seems to have a vision and courage to push the trilogy into a new direction and the leaks make the movie sound much more unique than TFA was.

The basis for the characters is solid, I think, you can do interesting stuff with Finn, Rey and Kylo and depending on the way Luke is handled, even the destruction of his Jedi doesn't have to be much of a deal (ie.: he strives to build something completely different). The fact that the FO - Resistance conflict can again be boiled down to just X-Wings vs. TIE fighters is unfortunate, but if they put more focus on NR's internal politics rather than on the scrappy underdogs/big evil Empire dynamic, they could do something interesting with it.

Basically, at least in the movies alone, make the FO Star Wars' Mordor. Just an evil monolithic faction that serves no purpose but to present a challenge to its divided opponents and draw the drama from there. But yeah, the political side of the ST is still its Achilles' heel.

But I'm afraid even if TFJ is Rogue One-level quality (which I think is doable), people who go in disliking the trilogy based on TFA alone will hate it anyway. We've seen that before with RotS. No matter how different the movie might be, it does build on TFA's foundation. It will follow up on its themes. Rey is still the protagonist. Kylo is still the antagonist. Snoke is still Snoke. The Mystery Box will yield disappointing answers for many - that is an inevitable consequence of this destructive writing parlor trick.

So yeah, in a nutshell, I expect RotS 2.0. A good movie, but one with the deck stacked against it.

My thought was going to be that she was related to an extremely powerful Force user and that she had, before her memories shit out on her due to PTSD or whatever, had some rudimentary training.

I want to say she was never trained by Luke, though, and that her being on Jakku was an attempt to hide her from the First Order/Imperial Remnant.

And sort of explains the somewhat shocked and displeased look on his face when he first meets her. Maybe he thinks she's there to kill him and when he realizes she still doesn't remember he will be very hesitant to train her.

It helps that Rian Johnson is a substantially better filmmaker than JJ Abrams.

Johnson's previous films are all R-rates genre films done on tight budgets with all around great casting, performances, writing, directing, cinematography. He has steadily built himself up to larger projects over a long career.

Okay, the Brothers Bloom is a little twee and was mismarketed. But Looper is a film where Bruce Willis actually got a role to play.

Abrams loves to do more bullshit handwaving than obi-wan kenobi when it comes to massaging plot points and story beats in a script. Star trek relied on time travel "destiny" stuff to cover convenient plot holes, TFA has logic gaps like the Falcon making a lucky jump through starkiller base's shields, add targeting the heat regulator on a whim, etc.

I simply trust Johnson to have a higher standard for the writing. Everything else will follow.

>>91916710
is this real??

>>91916757
Except that would be terrible because him being alive would totally undermine Palpatine's story.

>>91916809
No. He was only ever signed on for one film. A different director still is doing Episode 9.

>>91916646
This is too complicated for the golden fish mentality of the general audience. Rey will be an orphaned stronk girl and that's it. It sucks but let's be realistic.

JJ Abrams is super busy and always has like 500 projects going on.

So if he can't do the second or third, they might as well get other directors, and if they want the third film to come out right on the heels of second, then they need a third director to split the work load.

Also the original trilogy has three different directors, so pottery.

>>91916858
>It makes no sense to introduce a new unconnected villain the in the third act of a trilogy

You're an idiot. You also clearly know nothing about storytelling if you think it is even remotely acceptable to use this character who was mentioned once in a very clear allegorical story told by another character to make a specific plot related metaphor as a villain later on after he is supposed to be dead. If Disney and the writers have any idea what they are doing, it will not be him.

>>91916907

Huh. The more you know.

Ah the good old days when Barriss still wore her hijab like a proper muslim.

>>91916913

Well I think he probably read the Plagieus novel and thought it would be a convient way to tie it together even if it disrupts some of the story themes/elements in the series(I actually agree with you, Palpatine's master should stay dead.) but on other hand it keeps the story more 'in family' of other 6 films. You're giving up certain elements for others, and if you notice, starwars fans don't mind repetition if it hits favorable notes.

Which character with an unresolved story in canon do you most want to see closure for, and what medium should it be shown in?

Hard mode: No Barriss.

>>91916913
Palpatine follows the same fucking format though. Take a film class.

>Episode 4 introduces Vader as the main villian
>5 alludes to a greater threat
>6 introduces the forshadowed villain as the new big bad

Imagine if 6 came around and instead of Palpatine, the man we saw Vader talking to as a hologram, hes replaced with a random old republic nobody

Snoke's identity is that he's Supreme Leader Snoke, uber dark side ancient asshole.

Maybe he was also a teacher at luke's jedi academy or something stupidly convenient.

But that's all there is to it. Everybody wants there to be a secret twist like in ESB. Because SW fans love pottery as much as they hate it.

>>91916992
She is dead. That ending was clear. Are you brain damaged?

>>91916907
Kennedy also said that she wants each film to have its own authorial signature, similarly to how RotJ was cut from a different cloth than TESB and that was completely different from ANH.

In which case, I get it. TFA was a action-packed nostalgiabait, so of course you get JJ Abrams. TFJ is supposed to be meditative and psychological, which is something Johnson has a lot of experience with. Edwards is great with telling stories from the grunt's POV and grand action and Lord and Miller are the comedy guys.

I have no idea what Trevorrow will bring to the table, though.

Thin plotting and characters, just like RotJ!

But don't worry, the trailer will have a slow piano cover of the star wars theme so it will make a billion dollars.

>>91916996
Most likely this. He's definitely not Plagueis. The books have been implying that Palpatine has felt the presence of something incredibly powerful calling out to him specifically from the Unknown Regions which he believes to possibly be the source of the Dark Side and that he is constantly sending probes and scouts to search for it. Pretty obvious that this has some connection to whoever or whatever Snoke is.

>>91917063
>Thin plotting and characters,
>just like RotJ!
Someone hold me back

Snoke is a creation of Plagueis that Palps didn't know about.

Best and most plausible theory so of course it won't be the case.

>>91917104
I think this is a fair middleground. As a huge Plagueis campaigner, this would be much much better than some random unrelated villain who means nothing to any of the characters

>>91917040

Bro I love RotJ, but you can feel Lucas running out of steam with the writing.

It's Luke's movie, and the further away the script gets from him the weaker it gets.

Lando hangs out with Nien Nunb for most of the movie. Han and Leia are pretty static. Another death star used as a set piece.

Buuuuuut, the quality of the writing for Luke/Vader/Palpatine is never better, and the setting for Endor is incredibly rich. The ewoks do stupid shit like defeat stormtroopers with hang gliders, but they have a proper culture with elders, babies, and religious beliefs.

And the ending is great.

>>91917138
Vader SHOULD be the most important fucker in the galaxy. Hes one of the only two Sith Lords in the galaxy.

>>91917172

>>91917138
Boba isn't important. In the EU he was, but Canonically he is honestly just a fuck-up. His father being the Clone template was purely Lucas trying to appeal to the """"fans""" who hated him.

Vader was based on a concept that Lucas wanted from the very beginning. When he decided to make Vader, Luke's father, this was mostly to tell a character-driven story about fathers and sons, but it also helped Lucas's original concepts fall into place.

>story about finding the truth about the first Jedi
>enemy of the first Jedi back for revenge who corrupts a Skywalker child and orchestrates the murder of another's students

>not a fitting villain

Snoke is Palpatines corrupted force ghost being preserved in a cracked holocron

>>91917174
>you can feel Lucas running out of steam with the writing.
Yes and no.

The problem with ROTJ is that Lucas had plans for like 12 movies, but the divorce he was going through made him wrap things up way early.

For example, Luke having a long-lost sister WAS supposed to come into play. But somewhere down the line, Lucas just tacked that onto Leia, and the "there is another" never actually pays off. (Although I am sure this is being retconned as we speak for the ST)

As for the Ewoks, they were just 'Nam imagery. Guerilla warfare and all that. Sure, I'll take ROTS Kashyyyk over the Endor stuff, but whatever. Movie is old, I am over it, I have no ill feelings to the Ewoks.

The Luke stuff is pure kino

>>91917254
>Although I am sure this is being retconned as we speak for the ST

Leia originally survived a First Order attack by using the force in the original TLJ script before Carrie died

>>91917222
Indeed. This is it. The first Dark Side user who somehow stayed alive for thousands of years that Luke probably accidentally freed from stasis in some temple somewhere where the ancient Jedi imprisoned him. The Genie slippers mentioned in the leaks are the visual tie to this idea.

>it also helped Lucas's original concepts fall into place.

Mark Hamill has said during the first star wars it came up that from Lucas himself talking to Mark that Luke's father, Obi-Wan, and Vader had a duel by a volcano. There's many interviews to substantiate that.

So by the time to came to write ESB Lucas streamlined Annakin and Vader into the same person. And we get to have one of the greatest sequel and twists in history.

Boba Fett was always best as an understated henchman. In fact I recall Lando was at one point envisioned as the son of clone. Now THAT would have been hilarious to see in the prequels.

A million smooth talking Billy Dee Wiliams.

>>91917275
I was actually thinking that Yoda had a premonition about a savior that hadn't even been born yet (cough-Rey-cough)

>>91917293
Maybe, if Luke isn't actually Rey's father. Otherwise him getting sliced to bits at Cloud City would mean no Rey to fulfill the prophecy.

Fuck, I hate prophecies in Star Wars.

>Hello what have we here?

I think Snoke should be a combination of Nihilus and the Yuuzhan Vong. A "pure" version of the Sith that simply consumes anything that stands against it, along with a nice helping of Eldritch mind poisoning from exposure. It's been on a collision course with known space for decades and Palps was preparing the Empire to fight against it.

But if that's the case, I'd like it to be portrayed as more like a force of nature than a conniving villain. Maybe Snoke is just an emissary of a bigger threat?

>>91917448
A least it's not sith-knock off black like the knights of Ren

>>91917174
I think a lot of the problems RotJ has arise from plot points and teases TESB set up with no foresight.

The extended first act in Jabba's palace is great. It's exciting, character-driven (Leia, Lando), we see Luke demonstrating his experience, it adds new elements to the setting by delving deep into Jabba's syndicate. The problem is that it has nothing to do with the main plot of RotJ itself. It's an extended epilogue to TESB. The main presentation begins only when Luke arrives at Dagobah and the main conflict of the film (how to deal with Vader) is established.

And then there are the other things other anon already brought up with the original 9/12 movie plan. The way "there is another" was resolved is simply terrible. Bloodline, a book published odd thirty years after RotJ, did a better job with Leia dealing with the realization of being Vader's daughter than RotJ itself did. Han's character arc was on a trajectory towards a heroic sacrifice, but they neutered it, so now he just hangs around in the woods with nothing to do. The Death Star is conveniently pulled back to create an excuse for the Empire collapsing on itself so we can have a bright happy ending with all loose ends tied up.

Just for the record, Return of the Jedi is still my favorite SW movie. Unquestionably, always was. What it does right, it does so damn right. Jabba's palace might be superfluous, but it's so engaging. Luke, Vader and Palpatine, whether together or on their own, are at their peak and drive scenes which are clear highlights of the entire franchise. The battle of Endor is spectacular, both in the sky and on the ground. The ewoks are, and I'm not ashamed to say that, legitimately endearing and surprisingly fleshed out and provide a strong thematic message. It's just that it's also a very deeply flawed movie.

>Leia dealing with the realization of being Vader's daughter than RotJ itself did.

Leia's canonically pretty fast on the uptake when it comes to massive changes in her life and view of the galaxy and her place in it. How long was it after witnessing the death of her culture and everyone she's ever known that she's immediately as competent and focused as her rescuers, bullseyeing storm-troopers and throwing out casual insults to the rest of her crew?

I mean, we don't actually know how long it was between the destruction of Alderaan and Luke, Han, and Obi-Wan rescuing her, but the movie doesn't portray it as being more than a couple days maybe at most. As far as I'm concerned, Leia is pretty much stone cold unshakable.

I thought Leia died early in TLJ but I just realized that would fuck with Luke pretty badly

she was originally going into a coma before Carrie dId, and they said she's not in IX, so is she confirmed DED?

>>91917174
I always felt the purpose of the second Death Star was literally to bait the whole Rebel fleet. The Rebellion known what threat a Death Star poses, so they would jump at the chance to strike it down before it was completed. Sheev counted on this and let the Bothans get the intel, and sprung the trap he set.
Which would have worked if not for the Ewoks.
It makes sense why they used a Death Star again.
The stuff with Luke, I can't say how things would be different. If Han, Leia, Chewie died out there, if Luke felt it he may have died or fallen to the dark side.

I always wondered why they were building the Death Star there over Endor. I mean, I get secrecy, but that's such an out of the way nowhere planet and they clearly weren't getting the materials from there, so who picked it and how did they come to that conclusion? I can't imagine it was well known or even on many maps. Was it one of Palpatine's Observatory planets like Jakku? Also, Palpatine only lost because he totally failed to predict Vader killing him. He had fallen into a false sense of security thinking his apprentice would never rise to the challenge like a proper Sith and paid for it.

I agree that the planet-installed weapon of Starkiller Base was a dumb idea. It would have been just as effective a weapon if it was some large cannon-like thing, similar to, say the Gryps Colony Laser from Zeta Gundam. An asteroid-installed superweapon would have been just as effective, if not moreso since there's no atmosphere to have people safely roam the surface.

The movies never said that the Jedi mind trick required a whole lot of actions.

And you bet your ass if you or I found out we had force powers, the first thing we'd try is every Jedi ability we've heard of just to see if we could do it.

How does the afterlife work in Star Wars for those who don't have the Force ghost ability? Is there even an afterlife?

you rejoin the great hivemind. Keeping your personal identity after death in the 'force' is the trick.

Sith usually lingered as a remnant in real world, jedi figured out how to come back in the force.

if you ignore Tor, it's easier to understand.

>>91917942
I think we all know it won't. Even Aftermath which brought all this shit up to begin with didn't make much sense of it. Just kept vaguely calling it "the Observatory" and talking about MUH CONTINGENCY and implications that it had something to do with the Ancient Sith. How the fuck did kicking that one retard who worshipped Palpatine down into a huge pit leading to the core almost make the planet explode? The author certainly didn't seem to know.

Their energy just goes back into the Force, literally becoming one with it. But it's not an afterlife in the sense of Heaven or Hell since they no longer exist as an individual consciousness.

>>91918235
Not really, not in the commonly accepted Judeo-christian terms. All living beings upon death are assimilated into the one Cosmic Force and their energy is then repurposed to give new life through midichlorians. It doesn't matter whether you were light or dark in life, there is no purgatory or anything. You lose all sense of self and dissipate.

I liked the way they described the force as a great river, with divergence in force(blocking off channel of power) and what it does to force user = dark side user, and removing the obstruction and being one with force equals light side user.

As a physical allegory for a metaphysics topic, it has best way of explaining in a eastern mysticism form of show how force relates to the world and through people and things.

>>91918355
Sort of. Also sort of Buddhism where your soul finally stops being reincarnated once you reach enlightenment and detach your existence from the physical world to become one with the cosmic energy.

>>91918041

Speaking of Force afterlife, how long do Force ghosts last? Is it eternal or do they disappear eventually?

>>91918343
It's not retarded, and that's not what happened.

>>91918409
That's true though

>>91918409
No. Rebels did. Should never have survived his fight with Palpatine on Mandalore. Bringing him back again after that was too much.

>>91918412

Old lore allowed for them to last usually if they were tied to a living focus, like a bloodline.

And for the sith 'remnant' it was usually tied to a place or an object.

>>91918412
It's eternal.

Bringing Darth Maul back was cool and made for entertaining tv, but it did unfortunately set a very bad precedent that is ruining Star Wars very badly right now. It fell into the same trap as superhero shit where death doesn't matter and characters can just come back to life no matter what whenever someone feels like retconning their death. And it encourages fans to buy into retarded theories about characters like Snoke being old characters who are thought dead because the rules have already allowed for it before.

Ok I am going to call bullshit right here anon.

Because the point you made is good, but you are going full retard if you think this is relevant to Star Wars at all. Since Maul's resurrection half a decade ago, the only time a character has "died" and come back is Phasma, and that shit hardly counts.

Filoni has talked about the importance of death, and why none of the characters he has killed thus far on the show will be returning.

Maul was an exception, not a catalyst. There is absolutely nothing suggesting that Maul's resurrection has (or will) inspire them to bring other characters back. Any fan theories are just that; retarded fantheories.

She was notorious for hating Jedi with a passion so she went out of her way to shit on them in all her books for no reason. And then created a self insert female Jedi who secretly married and got knocked up by a Clone Commando. It literally got to the point where George Lucas himself had to fire her because she wrote a TCW tie in book that openly shit on the show and contradicted George's versions of Mandalore and the Clone troopers, who in her books hated the Jedi for "enslaving" them and enjoyed killing them during Order 66.

In a nutshell, Traviss does not write novels set in established universes, she writes her own shit and shoves Star Wars, Halo, and other settings around it, like trying to shove a square peg into a round hole.

When did this "Star wars needs to be funny" meme came from?
I mean, when you look at the supposedly greatest sw movie, Empire, there were maybe a few lines from C3PO (A not really important character) that were supposed to serve as comic relief and that's it. And he with his lines, was pretty much ignored in-universe.

>>91919132
I'm only saying it may not be as important as people are making it out to be. Personally I think she's Kenobi's grand daughter. My theory is he knocked up Satine, and she had a relative raise her "nephew" who later knocked some chick up. The kid starts showing force sensitivity and they either take her to Luke or the nephew's "mother" tells him the truth. But I'd honestly be relieved if she wasn't related to the original cast at all.

>>91919420

Starwars has always had a theme of humor from the beginning, Lucas stole it from other older stories that always had a punchline character running throughout the series, I always assumed it was just him riffing on older ideas

and then you combine them with qualities that get you to sell lots of toys. C3po/r2d2, jarjar, etc.

C3p0 becomes a walking punchline in ESB and Jarjar is essentially the same thing just more obnoxious.

Lucas liked to have humor somewhere in story because usually war stories tend to be very serious, so he liked to add levity.

In case anyone is wondering why the story in 343's Halo games is so shit, it's actually because of her. Not only did she crank out a bunch of shitty Halo books after Lucasfilm kicked her to the curb, she also wrote parts of Halo 4 and all of Halo 5. The retcons to Doctor Halsey that made her way more borderline evil yet somehow free of all guilt for doing what she did to the Spartans II's actually made her identical to one of her characters in the Republic Commando books, Sergeant Skirata. He was clearly one of her favorite OC's who could do no wrong while constantly punching out Jedi and Republic Generals for "disrespecting his Clone 'sons" left and right without so much as a slap on the wrist for his disrespectful bullshit. And some of those characters even apologized to him for it! It was like the Sixes article only real. She's totally insane too and truly believes that she's better than everyone because she has "military experience" and that civilians are scum. "MUH WARRIOR CULTURE" is literally it, it's all she ever talks about in any of her books.

Because its the kind of thing that would make the LSG look smart and clever for threading their pre-OT and post-OT material together. Plus we'll know if Ezra survives or not before TLJ so it won't be a spoiler.
That and I just like the idea of Finn meeting a 'Jedi' of his own
>Rey is a Kenobi
Pretty unlikely purely because that would mean retroactively undoing a lot of Obi's characterization as the Jedi Knight's Jedi Knight, and frankly the time gap means she'd be barely connected to Old Ben anyway
>Snoke is Plagueis
I'm not convinced Snoke is actually all that important to be brutally honest, and I doubt they'd make a call back to one scene from the PT over just making up their own new threat.

Apocryphal? So the Jedi Code we've all come to know is actually inaccurate but was regardless accepted as true.

>>91919127
Mandalorian so work best as just Space Vikings/Mongols. None of that MUH HONOR bullshit. Just a bunch assholes who like to loot, rape, and burn down planets without a hint of regret or apology.

>>91920076
Vikings did have some honor though. They were just really pragmatic. They could barely grow anything on their own land so they raided. If a town said they wanted to trade or just straight up give them supplies the vikings had no desire to pillage as they wouldn't be able to come back for more supplies next winter.

>>91920147
This
All the cold blues, whites and blacks on Deathwatch and Protector armour was the first clue, the fact that Lucas and Filoni have both talked about the Deathwatch being inspired by the Freikorps is the second.
I do hope we see more Mando politics in the future because the idea of Game of Thrones but with blasters and jetpacks does hold a certain appeal, but I'm not sure how I'd feel about them showing up in the movies. It would be awesome if they were an alliance of last resort for the Republic or something, with Leia reaching out to them in desperation, but I honestly couldn't say how the public (who don't watch TCW or Rebels) would respond to them

Rey is literally the only way for Mandos to become important again

>>91920203
I probably would if it had cream cheese.

>>91920243
Or Del Toro could be ST era Ezra Bridger, who Poe is sent to contact as part of Leia's bid to bring the Mando's into the war, banking on favours she has with both Ezra and Sabine to help bring the Mandalorian Fleet into battle against the First Order

>>91916393
No more Mandos please just stop with the Mandos.

Hey Uncle D, can I be canon again?

>>91920276

Or Del Toro is a completely unrelated character and the mandalorians make no appearance whatsoever.

>>91920452
Probably this. If Ezra isn't Snoke, then he's going to die.

Del Toro is not!Lando who owns a casino and betrays Finn to the First Order. And Phasma action scene.

>>91920452
Is the most likely (and if I'm entirely honest, preferred) answer
I was just answering the question of how you might bring the Mando's into the sequel trilogy

Man, they're really driving the point that Kylo is Anakin huh

>scar and long hair
>TWC Jedi armor lookalike wardrobe

And Rey is Qui-Gon I guess?

>>91920716
Rey's more akin to the real Anakin. I think that's the point.

>>91920627
Fuck normies. They eat the garbage the studios feed them.

It's why trash like the MCU is considered "good". TFA was like an MCU movie. Polished, but mindnumbingly uncreative to the point where it's not even worth watching.

If it wasn't for Star Wars in the title, TFA would have fallen into mediocre obscurity by now. Just like all those MCU shits.

Rogue One felt like it was made by an actual fan, for actual fans, while understanding that its also good to take risks so that your own imprint is left on the franchise.

>>91920713
>Normies like anything

Thanks anon you really made the high marks this time.

>>91920716
Rey is Luke

>>91920713
My normie friends have been shitting on Rogue One saying it had bland characters who "didn't interact enough together".

Seems to me like they're taking vague complains about BvS and Suicide Squad and applying them to the newest "team-up" movie to sound smart.

>>91920493
>If Ezra isn't Snoke

It's confirmed that Ezra isn't Snoke. Ezra is Human, Snoke is not.

>>91920276
I think it'd be better to use a grizzled old Hera with Poe at her side instead.

>>91920755
The Force Awakens was a joke and with how Mark feeling unsure about the Last Jedi its only going to get worse.

>>91920775
>Rouge One had flat characters

I want to die sometimes.

>>91920755
It's amazing and baffling to me that a movie set immediately before Rogue One has a unique identity and is way more creative and inventive than a movie set thirty years afterwards in an all-new untapped era.

>>91920784
I think Hera's future is clearer than Ezra's so seeing closure for Ezra in the ST would work better.

>>91920824
>a movie set immediately before Rogue One

I fucked that up, I meant set before A New Hope.

I liked the book of Force Awakens, only sorta liked the movie, and I never saw Rogue One.

Is it even about Rogue Squadron?

>>91920958
What are you even doing in /swco/?

>>91920214
Personally if they put them in I think they should be like squads of ARC troopers or RepComs. Rare but skilled and powerful. Definitely not front line soldiers though. Tactical strikes with small groups to make breaches for a company of soldiers to make the real assault.

>>91920958
>I never saw Rogue One.

>>91920958
You read the fucking book adaptation of TFA, but not even watched Rogue One?

The fuck are your priorities bruh?

Post the dumbest SW fan theory you have ever heard in your life.

>>91921232
Snoke is Windu.

>>91921216

I was working 60 hour weeks when Force Awakens came out.

So I read the book before I saw the movie.

I don't know why I never bothered to see Rogue One.

>>91921210
Oof, and it's fucking HARD to be less interesting than Jaina was by the end.

>>91921232
That one posted earlier in the thread about the Rogue One characters being the Knights of Ren might be it. That or the sheer insistence of the "Snoke is Plagueis" crew just becoming really embarrassing at this point because it shows a sincere lack of comprehension on their part that they didn't understand the allegory and meaning of Palpatine's story and instead just heard "NEW SITH LORD THEY'LL PUT IN OTHER MOVIES" like a pack of mouthbreathing retards.

>>91921232
Snoke is Vitiate

>>91921232
Han Solo is Force sensitive

>>91921297
And hopefully more difficult to be as poorly written. After Karen Traviss ruined her, her characterization was all over the place and awful in Fate of the Jedi. As were Han and Leia and many othe other Jedi. I will never ever not be mad at what happened to Kenth Hamner.

>>91921232

Jar Jar is a Sith Lord.

Any good Dengar stories, be they novels/comics?

>>91921342
I believe in that theory in the sense that the Force can benefit anyone; the major coincidences aren't just coincidences. The plots of Star Wars are often very convenient in terms of who meets whom and how everything falls into place, and I believe that's where the Force comes in and kind of writes fate.

all the foreshadowing with Snoke in the extra materials should be proof enough that lucasfilm isn't ashamed of him

>>91921444
Tales of the Bounty Hunters
The Bounty Hunter War trilogy

And that's it.

>>91921444
The Freemaker Adventures

isn't it kind of retarded that all these bounty hunters are friends because they stood next to each other in ESB

>>91921462
They published the Aftermath books. And Lords of the Sith which is riddled with minor errors, and I'm sure many of the other books were too that one is just fresh in my mind because I finished it two days ago. They clearly have no shame to begin with m8.

>>91921484
No one likes IG-88

>>91921484
Darth Maul and Darth Talon are lovers/friends because George Lucas thought they looked cute together.

>>91921484
They arent.
Boba and Bossk are rivals.
Boba and Dengar hooked up only after the events of RotJ.
IG-88 gives zero fucks about squishy meatbags.

>>91919306
You could as well ask why mooks job in every action movie ever made. I wouldn't judge spetnaz performances by how they were treated in Red Dawn.
Because "the heroes were quickly cut into pieces by superior numbers and massive firepower" doesn't make for very heroic stories, and movies like Army of Shadows aren't blockbusters.

>>91921671
