I will by declaring it as stupid.Admiral Johnason wrote:Prehaps we will see Tarkin present the Death Star plans to the Emperor and talk of his little Maw Installation with Thrawn, who has just killed Windu with a VSD. Beat that in terms of cool!
Nope, Ben claimed that Vader betrayed and murdered Lukes father..which is true, from a certtain point of veiw..Simon H.Johansen wrote:I vaguely recall Obi-Wan telling Luke that Darth Vader killing Luke's mother, although I'm not too sure since it's a very long time ago I last saw the Original Trilogy.Stuart Mackey wrote:I dont recall that, where is it?Simon H.Johansen wrote: I have a feeling this would be the twist, as it is implied in the original trilogy if I recall correctly.

Nor do I think the Kaminoans would see any logic in that decision.anarchistbunny wrote:Boba may be able to have his age increased on Kamino, and then come back to kill Windu, but thats not likely.
Yeah, like inserting Fett into ANH:SE for no good reason...Spanky The Dolphin wrote:I will by declaring it as stupid.Admiral Johnason wrote:Prehaps we will see Tarkin present the Death Star plans to the Emperor and talk of his little Maw Installation with Thrawn, who has just killed Windu with a VSD.

The reason I don't want to see Thrawn in Episode III is because I just don't like the idea. It reaks too much of throwing a fucking bone to the fans, and he'll stick out like the blue sore thumb he is.

I'd actually complain about Kid Fett being in the prequels too if they were otherwise good enough to warrant my giving a shit.
Um ... right. Use a Victory Star Destroyer to kill a Jedi Master, and then canonize a shitty novel series by Kevin J. Anderson. How about we try and beat that in terms of "stupid," instead?Admiral Johnason wrote:Prehaps we will see Tarkin present the Death Star plans to the Emperor and talk of his little Maw Installation with Thrawn, who has just killed Windu with a VSD.

ANH novel, page 1:Stravo wrote:Now was the name Palpatine EVER mentioned in the OT?? NO. We only know that's the Emperor's name from WEG and the EU.
Aided and abetted by restless, power-hungry individuals within the government, and the massive organs of commerce, the ambitious Senator Palpatine caused himself to be elected President of the Republic. He promised to reunite the disaffected among the people and restore the remembered glory of the Republic. Once secure in office he declared himself Emperor.
IN THE MOVIE. I am saying that the casual viewer will not pick up the books as you or I would.RedWizard wrote:ANH novel, page 1:Stravo wrote: Now was the name Palpatine EVER mentioned in the OT?? NO.

Good point.Stravo wrote:IN THE MOVIE. I am saying that the casual viewer will not pick up the books as you or I would.
The story was shit, too, in retrospect. I read it around that age, as well, and my mom described it as a novelized "shoot 'em up." Bad authors need contrivances like Sun Crushers and secret installations to advance the plot. Good authors work with what they have and make everything they invent for the story very significant, not just another superweapon.Admiral Johnason wrote:Great, I am the only person here who like the Jedi Acadmey Trilogy. I read it when I was in the 7th grade so my memory of it will be a little kinder to the book as I just cared for the story.
As a rationalization for Lucas' blunder for the Kessel Run quote, it works, but beyond that, it conflicted with other sources, and the existence of several black holes in a small region of space is highly questionable ... especially when forming near a habitable planet.So he sucks as an author and he made a really bad ship. I happen to like the idea of the Maw Inst.
Good point.Spanky The Dolphin wrote:Well, Durandal, what else would you expect from our little wannabe?
Supposedly the Maw cluster was moved there by an ancient, and long gone alien race. Like the ones who built Centerpoint Station, for example.Durandal wrote:As a rationalization for Lucas' blunder for the Kessel Run quote, it works, but beyond that, it conflicted with other sources, and the existence of several black holes in a small region of space is highly questionable ... especially when forming near a habitable planet.
They're not that close. And since Kessel is mostly hardly habital anyway, they probably have radiation shielding from the black hole cluster.Durandal wrote:As a rationalization for Lucas' blunder for the Kessel Run quote, it works, but beyond that, it conflicted with other sources, and the existence of several black holes in a small region of space is highly questionable ... especially when forming near a habitable planet.
Got this from the 1st page of the Essential ChronologyAt some point in this ancient era the Corllian system was artificially created, providing evidence that our region of space was once visited by stunningly powerful architects, who may also have been resposible for the unlikely cluster of black holes near Kessel known as the Maw.
