Obi-Wan Kenobi charged with leaving the scene of a five-car pileup.
OBI WAN’S TURNED TO THE DARK SIDE
It looks like we might get our episodes after episode 6 after all…
In case nobody knew…<br>
Anyone think Darth Krayt, Saber Khai, or Abeloth will be in the sequel trilogies?
I know this is an old post but I think it is time I take the credit for sending you that Spawn comic. I am laughing so hard right now. Great memories of a simpler time in life when not every current comic out there sucked as much as Spawn.
Who thinks that the Lost Tribe of the Sith (Gavar Khai and crew) should be in episodes 7 through 9?
the most memorable SW scene:
Worst thing about the Disney acquisition: no more 20th Century Fox intro. I grew up thinking every movie on TV with the Fox theme = Star Wars
The Fox fanfare and Star Wars fanfare are inseparable to me, too.
And to John Williams as well. There’s a reason he put the Star Wars fanfare in the same key, and there’s a reason why the Star Wars OST albums include the Fox fanfare at the beginning. Musically, they’re intended to go together.
Maybe Disney will license the Fox fanfare… ah, wishful thinking.
Note: if Williams doesn’t score the movies, I’m not even going to bother with them.
Life is still pretty simple in my echo chamber where the New 52 didn’t make it past the first issue and Alan Moore’s Marvelman* is still due for a deluxe release any day now.
*Not Miracleman. I’m talking to you, NickNoob09er.
Forgot how integrated the 20th century fox theme is with the lucasfilm logo. Well those days are over.
yeah…I have a hard time imagining that…but here’s an idea of how it would be done
And after looking at that they don’t even say now “Walt Disney Pictures” Just “Disney” now…damn no lover for the man who even started it all.
We’re you looking for this?
Wait, you mean the scene where she is dying from… a broken heart?? And we are talking about the couple who fell in “love” when Anakin was like 6 and has no clue what love is? All the pretty sweeping music in the world won’t give drama and emotion to a movie whose plot and characters are so poorly written.
There is a reason people prefer to pretend these movies were never made. I like to remember Vader as the galactic bad ass who would mind choke a nigga for mouthing off, not the emo psycho who murders children.
Star Wars ended after ROTJ to me (which in retrospect was a precursor of things to come).
I semi-don’t consider the prequels as canon and I have very little faith in the new Disney films. (though I do like the idea of Mark Hamill coming back).
Best to worst IMO
Ep 5

If anyone has read the Fate of the Jedi series and Disney decides to incorporate elements from that series into VII, VIII, and IX then that would be good.
[details=Spoiler]Jacen Solo’s final warning to Tenel Ka Djo allowed her to save herself and Allana. Allana’s survival was kept secret, and she was publicly listed as dead in the nanokiller attack. For the princess’s safety, she was given to Han and Leia Solo to raise as their adopted war orphan daughter, Amelia Solo. Though his faction lost the Second Galactic Civil War and Ben Skywalker redeemed Tahiri Veila, Darth Caedus’s Sith techniques did bring a sort of peace to the galaxy—by uniting all the warring factions against him. Peace was soon settled between all sides, with Caedus succeeded by Natasi Daala as chief of state.[4] Though a fringe of Caedus supporters continued to exist after the war, he was generally condemned as a monster who had committed grave atrocities.[94] During his entire reign, the order of One Sith had been in hiding on Korriban. Their Dark Lord, Darth Krayt —the man Solo saw in his vision[95]— later described Caedus’s role as a “lightning rod” attracting Jedi attention to himself and away from the One Sith, thereby assisting their future rise.[96]
Though they had taken a harsh attitude against Caedus in his last days, over time his family came to soften, remembering Jacen Solo as a hero and wondering what had gone so terribly wrong that he became Darth Caedus. They felt as if they had failed him by not finding a way to redeem him, but they did not live in grief. Instead they took joy in raising Allana, in whom they saw much of young Jacen Solo, including his affinity for animals and, she discovered, his connection with the Yuuzhan Vong. Allana remained frightened of the dark side she had sensed in her father, but the Solos emphasized his love for her, explaining that in the end he had not been himself, under the influence of the dark side. Han Solo retained a private hope that his son was working toward redemption in an afterlife, and even called on his spirit for aid.[97]
Pursuing a political agenda to control the Jedi, Chief of State Daala pressed criminal charges against Luke Skywalker for negligence in not having prevented Caedus’s fall to the dark side. Skywalker, seeking to establish that the Jedi were not above the law, agreed to a plea deal in which he accepted a sentence of exile, with the ability to have it removed if he could discover and explain the cause of Jacen Solo’s transformation into Darth Caedus. His son, Ben Skywalker traveled with him.[15] The task became all the more urgent when various other Jedi began falling prey to a strange madness in which they expressed a belief those around them were actually impostors, and manifested various Force powers known only to Jacen Solo after his journey of learning.[14][15]
During that odyssey, the Skywalkers found the Mind Walkers and entered “beyond shadows” themselves. There they found the Lake of Apparitions, in which apparitions of the dead appeared, and in it the spirit of Darth Caedus. Luke Skywalker summoned him by speaking the name “Jacen,” and his aspect changed to that of his younger, uncorrupted self. Speaking with them, Jacen did not ask for forgiveness, but did say that he had not carried his dark side anger with him in death, an experience that he described as “damnation.” He asked Ben Skywalker to tell his sister he forgave her for his death, and Luke Skywalker, having seen the Throne of Balance and heard of Jacen Solo’s vision, asked him who he had seen there. Skywalker informed the apparition that he had seen a happy Allana, surrounded by peace—the same vision Jacen had received near the end of his life. The spirit said whom he had seen no longer mattered, but it was not Luke Skywalker—a statement that did not entirely convince Skywalker. Ben admitted that he forgave his cousin, which greatly relieved Jacen. He slyly told the Skywalkers he did not know exactly who Abeloth, appearing at the far end of the lake, was, but they could keep walking into the Mists of Forgetfulness and find out—which immediately persuaded them to turn around and avoid the dangerous area where previous warnings had not.[80]
He later reappeared when Luke returned to the beyond shadows to fight off Abeloth, having some scorn for Luke regarding his belief that Abeloth possessed him. However, he then felt some guilt when Luke revealed that Jacen was partially responsible for the release of Abeloth by gazing into the pool of knowledge, although he, like Mara Jade, was unable to supply him with an answer as to how to destroy Abeloth. When Darth Krayt appeared and offered to aid Luke in destroying Abeloth, Jacen attempted to warn Luke that Krayt was the man he saw in one of the visions of the Lake of Apparitions, the one he saw that led him to turn to the dark side. After Abeloth was defeated, Jacen revealed that although Luke and Krayt’s destruction of Abeloth prevented the dark future he saw from happening, it did not prevent the rise of the Sith, and explained that the vision he saw that led to his joining the Sith was a future where Krayt not only was on the throne of balance instead of his daughter Allana, but Allana was likewise at Krayt’s side.[95] [/details]
Also, i wonder if Darth Krayt’s One Sith knew about the Lost Tribe of the Sith…
The original FPS Dark Forces game was the bomb, by the way.
I agree with you on that, but I wasn’t talking about the writing. I was talking about how the scenes are constructed at the shooting and writing level. Those elements are actually pretty strong.
Heaven forbid that someone suggests that Lucas has some strengths to go along with his long-enumerated weaknesses.
Anyway, I don’t have great faith in the new movies, mainly because of Disney’s bukkake strategy. Whether at its best or at its worst, Star Wars was never something that felt like it just rolled off an assembly line somewhere.
At least they got John Williams back. Without him, it’s Star Wars in name only.

This is the latest official/canon chapter in the world of Star Wars!
Damn that sucks. All good things must come to an end I guess. This is the official “passing of the torch” from Han, Leia, and Luke…
the thing I hate most about star wars is when luke skywalker has that VR thing on his face, who in their right mind would want to have a thing like that on their face
