Random Star Wars Thoughts

[Iram]

You are certainly not alone. To say I was furious after I saw Ep7 would be putting it mildly. The prequels had their fail moments, but nothing like TFA. Even the title made me cringe.

Despite this, Rogue One has me intrigued. I sincerely hope it does not set a bad precedent for the SW stand alones.

Oooh, so I'm not alone? Tbh, I hate nearly everything Disney has done with Star Wars (except The Clone Wars. I really liked that). I'm a hardcore Lucas fan. I especially disliked TFA because they made a total mess of the EU (btw, I'm a hardcore EU-er). I don't even want to talk about it.

Yes my thoughts exactly.
It felt almost personal when they "non-canonised" so much of the stuff that I really loved . I point blank refuse to call Expanded Universe stuff "Legends".
 How can it be Legend when so much of it occurred AFTER return of the jedi.

LEGEND

a nonhistorical or unverifiable story handed down by tradition from earlier times and popularly accepted as historical.

a very old story or set of stories from ancient times, or the stories, not always true, that people tell about a famous event or person:

Hmmmmm...

I feel the Anger rising once more..( of course i have better uses for it than smashing up a few consoles like a pre-school kid )

Even a novel like Darth Plageuis. One of my personal favorites that would make a horror movie better than half the crud churned out these days, is now a "Legend" .  Not to mention the Bane Trilogy. 
Oh & Mara Jade, Jason, Jaina  arrggggg.

damn you Disney........

@Disney,   "You're mom's a Legend."

Let us chill. If a handful of Sith can destroy the Jedi and conquer the galaxy, I think we stand a fair chance of...........persuading Disney of seeing the error of their ways.

What made me very mad was the fact that they took away Leia's Jedi status, they got rid of all of the Solo children (and replaced them with a whiny, 5-year-old excuse for a Sith), and they TOTALLY messed up everything that happens after ROTJ. I didn't know they uncanonized Darth Plageuis... That really makes me mad.
Why trash so much of what made Star Wars truly great?? WHY DISNEY???

I WILL NOT CHILL DISNEY THREW AWAY MY CHILDHOOD, ALL IN THE NAME OF MONETARY PROFIT!

PEACE IS A LIE, THERE IS ONLY PASSION Us sith would do well to remember this......

[Rina Ascura]

Are there many of us around?

You are certainly not alone.

Oooh, so I'm not alone?

United we stand! Put "BBL AND PROUD" into your signatures. BBL stands for "Bring Back Legends", or re-canonize the Expanded Universe. I understand that many of us see the word "Legends" as a slur, but that's how the movement is called, it's not me who invented the name.

PEACE IS A LIE, THERE IS ONLY PASSION Us sith would do well to remember this......

Let there be no peace until victory.
Let there be ignorance, for we tread in secrecy.
Let there be passion, until vengeance is fulfilled.
Let there be chaos, until the tyranny dies.
Let there be death, until the hunt is over,
to the end.

This is the Code of the Ascurites - a mostly Dark Jedi sect from my fanfic. They were basically Jedi survivors who were traumatized by Order 66, disappointed with the Jedi Code and went crazy with revenge. They hated the Sith above everything else...

... but it appears that there is a common enemy that makes even Sith and Ascurites unite: the Mickey Mice!

Well, there are a few Mickey changes I can accept. For starters, Palpatine's first name. I see no reason why it can't be Sheev. However, I prefer to write this with the middle initial "C.", as in "Sheev C. Palpatine", to reflect the older fan theory that his first name was Cos. Second, the character Ahsoka Tano: I developed an inexplicable liking to her. But most other Mickeyisms are bantha poodoo.

...and this is one reason I have begun steering clear of Star Wars discussions...

OMG! Is anyone watching the Rio Paralympic Opening Ceremony and the 400 "LIGHTSTICKS"?

Impressive.....Most Impressive.

Good Luck to all the participants of the Games.

Yep. It's going in my Sig

Then we take it back. If Disney loses enough of its fan base, they lose profits. Ever heard "The squeaky wheel gets the grease."?

What miffed me most was that there's no Thrawn. Even though he's slated to make an appearance in SWR (whoopty kriffin' do). I so had Cumberbatch cast to play Thrawn, though.

Yes Thrawn is such a great character. Complex, not evil as such, Highly intelligent & Cumberbatch would be a shoe in for the role.

I don't think the "Anti- Disney" crowd is near large enough to worry Lucasfilm.  Look at the money TFA made...that didn't happen from single viewings.  I get where you're coming from, it's the same way I feel about the DC films.  But at the end of the day you and I as consumers have one recourse...buy or don't buy.  Here is where I am going to get a little blunt, but don't misunderstand, You're all awesome.  If you don't like the direction SW is going... don't watch it.  Don't look it up.  Don't fill up message boards dedicated to TFA with "I Hate Disney!"  Just, Let it Go.....  It's done and whining and groaning about only makes you look sad and bitter.   As I said, I do get it.  I love Superman but the current franchise I absolutely hate...so I don't follow it.  Don't read about it and don't comment about it.  Our time is better spent focusing on things we enjoy than things we don't.  Just my 2 cents.  Like everything take it or leave it my friends.

We could've been friends but you've done it now
