Mr. Plinkett was right when he said the prequels created this weird, artificial, loveless world. Why aren't the Jedi allowed to love? The only remotely good reason I can think of is that it's because George Lucas got a divorce that one time.

>it's because George Lucas got a divorce that one time.

I think it's this, the movies express a lot of George's issues.

The Death Star in A New Hope represents George's infertility and how he wanted to fertilize his wife's eggs.

Luke has his hand cut off (impotence/castration) by his overbearing father.

ROTJ has the evil sand vagina that wants to kill Luke.

Jedi aren't allowed to love because George's wife left him.

Exactly.

The Zann Consortium was pulling all sorts of fucking strings and even fucking hijacked the Eclipse when it was under construction at Kuat using the battle between the Rebels and Empire as a distraction.

Then POOF.

They were gone.

Although it can be easily written away as Non-Cannon, Tyber Zann planting evidence at Bespin during a Tibana Gas heist was touted as the breaking point for Vader to murder Xizor.

They could've included a little Revan. Sure in the new continuity Sith can't come back from the hereafter as spirits, but Revan was kind of like a Dark Jedi. He could've freaking qualified as some sort of guiding light among the darkness on Korriban ("oh I'm sorry" its freaking Moraband now… pff).

while i don't agree with the name change, the name does derive from moribund, which means close to death. so it's not the end of the world, i guess.

Sigh… I guess I can live with that. Still Revan should've qualified for spirit status. Or even a small cameo as a sith specter…

troopers, i want you to look at this picture.

this is jek tono porkins, also simply known as jek, or porkins. his fat ass died in the battle of yavin.

now the reason i am bringing him up is, look at the history created for this character that evolves beyond his horribly short screen time.

Since Disney has pretty much brutally violated and tossed aside the Thrawn Trilogy, I was wondering if the Chiss species is still canon? Have they been mentioned in any of the new damn "canon" media? Or have they been replaced by those damnable Pantorans?

 No.664

File: 1424323572360.png (1.83 MB, 1920x816, 40:17, PapanoidaPantoraOffice-SoI.png)

lucas' cameo role isn't chiss, he doesn't have the red eyes. pantoran is his race. also chiss were never technically canon since they didn't appear until heir to the empire.

but he was in clone wars, kek. let's hope that filoni throws some chiss into rebels or something. maybe the bartender from jedi outcast.

 No.671

>>664
I never said Lucas' character was a Chiss. I asked if the Pantorans replaced the Chiss. And yes, I hope the Disney slave lords decide to include some Chiss action in Rebels. Maybe a young Thrawn. They don't have to make the Thrawn Trilogy canon (as much as I would like that), but they could just feature him as a villain in an episode. Reintroduce him with a new story. Disney, you bastards better do this…

I'm not fapping over it. The character was just really good and I really liked the Thrawn Trilogy, but like I said I can live without it, but I would just like to see Thrawn reappear in some form of antagonistic role at least.

C3PO thread?

It was a dumb idea for Anakin to have built 3PO, if anything Anakin should have built R2D2 and the protocol droid should have belonged to Padme.

Anakin being a robot builder didn't even lead into anything, if he had built his own Darth Vader suit it would have been ok but apparently it was an off the shelf robot suit.

Ok, Stormtroopers, I just got the original trilogy on VHS, pre-special edition, and, after watching them again, I've noticed a lot of inconsistencies between them and the prequels

The Ruusaan Reformation was a retcon to explain the discrepancy between the two movie quotes though, the quotes themselves are Lucas not knowing what the fuck he was talking about by the time he wrote the prequels. The actual discrepancy between a republic being around for 1000 or 20,000-30,000 years is pretty damn massive.
