Will you please shut the fuck up you goddamned idiot? You were wrong and you had 3 options. 1, admit you were wrong. 2, just pretend it didn't happen. 3, be a giant slobbering cunt about it and further shit up the thread. You chose 3.

Except for the little factoid that I wasn't wrong. But if you're all that hot and bothered abut not further polluting this thread, all you have to do is drop the issue.

I'm not dropping the issue because you're wrong. You're fucking obviousely wrong. And this is the second time in a week you've been massively wrong about something and then claimed that no, it's everyone else that's wrong. Think about it, if in your life people keep telling you you're wrong and being a royal twat about it, maybe it's not them. Maybe it's you.

See? Yet another stupid post that adds nothing and makes you look like a giant fuckwit. If you didn't immediately zoom in on everything ever with SDN GRADE NUCLEAR FLAMEZ you wouldn't look so fantastically stupid and immature when you make an ass of yourself and try to wave it off. You might even have a productive conversation that isn't just repeating SDN talking points.

Can we expect more fingers-in-ears?

Okay. You're obviously desperate to derail this thread further just to prove I'm wrong. Well, prove I'm wrong.

Still, by virtue of picking up immediately where ROKJ left off, the book is a goldmine in terms of character study and development. The points I still like:

* The Rebel Alliance, having dealt a crippling blow to the Imperials, must take the first steps in transitioning from a ragtag Rebellion to a nascent New Republic.

* Luke, having faced the final challenge Yoda and Obi-Wan set in order for him to become a Jedi Knight, must now contemplate the new challenge of not only rebuilding the galaxy, but also restarting the Jedi Order as a half-trained Knight.

* Leia and Han have also formally begun their long simmering relationship and are struggling to make it work.

* Leia is still processing the revelation that not only is Luke her brother, but Darth Vader was her biological father.

except its not taking place right after ROTJ. its starting from about 40 years after.

He's clearly talking about the new movies and not the stupid EU shit.

But since you're going to keep going with option 3, hey zman, were you talking about when the new movies are likely to take place (you know, the ones that if casting is any indication we can base on the actors age and the fact that it will premier a year before the 40th anniversary?) or EU plots?

The more you dig in your heels and cling to your little bit of grammatical driftwood, the stupider you look. Just let go. Worry about the important stuff, and not your ELITE FLAMEWARRIOR CREDENTIALS CONCESSION ACCEPTED.

You're like the epitome of 'SDN disease'.

dude what is wrong with you?

I insist I'm absolutely positively really Batman and you have to ask what's wrong with me.

You're a sad man who doesn't know how to get positive attention, but that doesn't explain why you come back with such absurdities.

And they say I'm the one with no sense of humour.

When they say anything about you at all, it's 'fuck that Batman guy is a sadcase'. Just learn how to handle misunderstandings above the six year old level and you'll have taken a big step as a person.

If I'm the one who has to learn, why has this gone on for so long? All you had to do to get this thread back on track was just let the matter die.
Something, incidentally, I commented upon earlier. I don't think I'm the one who has to learn here.

Are you saying you refusing to accept that you were just wrong and attacked someone in error is my fault because I won't let you slink away like nothing happened?

Do you interact with anyone outside of SDN? This is a serious question.

You need to learn to stop being a dishonest delusion cunt.

I don't think Carrie Fischer would do bad as long as she plays an older character.

No she won't be wearing a bikini. This isn't a horror film.

Would be cool to see Harrison Ford again.

I'd be up for seeing the three of them on screen again. So Mark Hamill and Carrier Fisher don't look so good any more, but that tends to happen with age. And really its not as if they're unrepresentable to a camera, they simply happen to look like people in their late fifties/early sixties. As long as they're not trying to pass them off as being a lot younger it'll fit pretty well. That said, I would love to know how the hell Harrison Ford stays looking like that. I'd be pretty happy looking like Harrison Ford when I hit that age. It's like him and George Clooney were able to somehow able to opt out of aging past the age of fifty. But I digress, back to Star Wars.

Since this would put the series ahead by a few decades its exciting that they've got a lot to work with. There's a ton of stuff the writers can draw off of from the EU, but its not as if they're obligated to put in anything they don't want. A few things I'd like to see would be;

- Boba Fett leading the Mandalorians.
- Luke Skywalker leading a new Jedi Academy.
- Kyle Katarn doing his thing.
- More crazy adventures from Lando Calrissian. Despite being 75, Billy Dee Williams still looks better than the rest of the cast.
- Leia being head of state of the new Republic. I can't say I'd really care too much one way or another if they had her as a Jedi or not.
- Chewbacca being still around, hopefully not having a moon dropped on him by this point.
- A good villain. This is going to be the tricky part in my opinion. Although it'd be a little out of the time frame given by the EU, I feel that Grand Admiral Thrawn would be a good choice if they wanted to draw out of the EU. Either way, whether they draw from the EU or make an original villain it'll be a tough sell. As the prequels demonstrated, its really hard to be a good villain when compared to Darth Vader.

NO NO NO NO NO Yes Yes/NO.

It's funny how the fatties still cannot accept that their dumbhsit books aren't worth what they are printed on.

At least most of them get that topping Vader is the actual hurdle. I mean that is why Lucas did the PT. He didn't have to top anyone. he just had to show their journey, it was basically his own EU. The problem was other FattyNerdsTM wanted Vader right off the bat and that was never going to happen.

There were a ton of flaws in the PT, but if Lucas could have somehow just inserted OMG SUPER AWESOME EVIL Vader into them, most of the FattyNerdsTM wouldn't have noticed them at all.

They would notice, but it will take a long time for them to do so.

Best option? They flash forward ten centuries into the future of SW and only have the big three show up as holos/ghosts/whatever.

Even if they don't do that for the main sequel movies, I think it would be interesting to see an age where the events and characters we know have become myth and legend. What might a society shaped by the Skywalker legend look like? And how might the events of the films have become distorted as time passed by?

You were perhaps expecting them to cover her in makeup and hope that nobody has remembered that she's 30 years older?

What Skywalker legend? Nobody knows what he fucking did. I mean sure he was debriefed but he has no obligation to tell any one and do you think he is sitting down for interviews or propaganda pieces.

Even then who cares, Lando and Wedge blew up the Death Star and the Emperor would have died anyway.
