Some nonsense about Padme being alive and going on adventures with Vader in the next two issues, at least.
I ran into JJ Abbrams shortly after the release of TFA behind FIT in midtown one early morning at 6:00 in the morning as he was getting ready for auditions for something... he had just gotten dropped off by a large black suv. It was a snowy, dark manhattan morning...
I wanted to knock him out for killing Han. I was pretty upset how shit the movie was honestly. I didn't realize who it was until I thought about it and was "what the fuck? That midget is JJ Abbrams!" And sorta terrified of the monstrous bodyguard he had. He was already inside the building at that point, and myself half way down the block on my way to work at Hudson yards.
I regret not having done it and risked going to jail. It would've been the right thing to do. I failed you all. I am sorry.
Wheres VedderOA to vouch my original telling of this tale? (How do I tag a user?)

Even Harrison Ford wanted Han Solo to die. Don't blame it on Abrams.

Rey/Ben are running around doing the force heal that could have saved Padme's life. if only he had read the sacred Jedi texts.
Palpatine was always telling lies.

So what? You know who wouldn't have killed Han? George Lucas. That's why all this shit is indeed fan fiction.

Han was killed the moment Rey finished one of his sentences then he asked her to join his crew for life after knowing her for 5 minutes.
getting stabbed with the lightsaber was merely formality.

Disney is utterly incapable of writing good stories. The only reason capeshit does well is that the stories are already written, because (unlike SW) they allowed what is essentially an expanded universe to stay intact.

Eh. 20 movies later and the last Avengers film really did rip off Back to the Future 2.
Whatever ... I'm gonna cry myself to sleep and pretend like none of this shit happened in my lifetime.

Vader wouldn't have been fooled by a decoy of his wife. He's not mentally challenged. Nor were the decoys identical.
Even if it's some plot by the Emperor... stupid. Just stupid, nonsense, typical Disney/Marvel trash writing.

They tried with Boyega and then backpedalled and kept him as the Star Wars universe's version of Tyrese Gibson that just yells at the screen.

it was very Clip Show. like i was watching DVD extras or something. no, the meta references did not work, and the time travel was infinitely dumber than any other time travel story.
i think it is the Emperor. remember, Rian set up that Snoke was immensely powerful, had force lightning like Palpatine, used force pull to throw people around like dolls, even from across a ship. beyond that he bridged the force skype gap between Kylo and Rey, creating teleportation of matter between vast distances of space. we know from TFA that Snoke was instrumental in manipulating Kylo to the dark side as well. so clearly he is super powerful, being able to manipulate someone on another planet, one that is super hard to find that everyone is looking for the map to (??? they should have asked Snoke
). it was Snoke who created that hot Reylo action, according to Rian's film. Rian's film also killed Snoke and said he was a nobody, a question which JJ would have to answer in his movie.so who is powerful enough to do all this stuff? who was behind Snoke? he must have been a puppet. but of who? JJ could have made some new Sith up. he was not going to do Plaguis cos the ST is for PT haters. who else could play the role? we are already bringing everybody back, bring back Palps as well. only problem is, it made him too OP. now he legit is the God of Star Wars. he outlasts the Skywalkers, takes their name, takes their home, and becomes the most powerful Jedi ever. he did all the stuff Kylo supposedly did the night he turned dark, the Emperor did it all, Palp he lightning'd the school and Luke and all of it from a million miles away. he can conjure Star Destroyers out of nothing, he is a deity. TLJ has been retconned almost entirely into oblivion at this point. it's all a complete mess.

This takes place after Empire. Even if it's her doppelgänger, who now identical her apparently. So what? That humanizes Vader? So Luke wasn't so instrumental as his heart strings were already pulled on in this side story? So is there even a dark side needed to come back from?
Always interpreted that there wasn't some gray area of Jedi... ever. It's the only thing that justified Vader turning the way he is. That just tasting evil would consume force wielders to either be angel or demon.
Man, this is so fucked beyond repair.
George's original sequel trilogy plan about it being about exploring the midichlorians and the whills sounds better each passing day.
Now all we have is the Books for the shills.

Vader never had a wife. Anakin Skywalker did and he died.
Vader could not sense Anakin's children. He had face to face encounters with Leia and Luke and was clueless.
Vader did not even have the same senses as Anakin. Did not see this fake Padme through his own eyes..etc

There is no way that Vader is dumb enough to not recognize his actual wife even without the force telling him. He didn't know he had children.
Nor was he ever face to face with Luke in A New Hope at any point. He just detected that an X-Wing pilot was strong with the force. It wasn't until ESB and that's when he dropped the bomb.
Anakin and Vader are not two different people. That's just the mental gymnastics needed to make sense out of Disney Wars' shit-tier quality storytelling.
Very much looking forward to the desperate attempt needed to make sense out of the Emperor being alive in a Marvel comic book. Oh Rotj emperor was a clone... yay. CRAP

Well, look, in my world the only stuff that happened after episode 6 was Kyle Katarn, the Reborn and Luke looking just like he always did. Tears, I'll play it tonight. Jah bless, lovers of the retconned universe!

Knocking someone over violently because of some space fantasy movie didn't turn out the way you wanted it isn't really the bright thing to do...
Also what has his height have to do with TFA being not the movie you wanted? But if it makes you feel better, whatever..

I read the comic and I fucking LOVED it. And I've been so over Star Wars lately, I can't even get it up to see Episode 9 yet. First Star Wars flick (since the special editions) that I have not seen in theaters.
Anyway, the book ruled and I'm excited to see where it goes. Having way more fun with some Star Wars comics than I had seeing episodes 7 and 8, and Solo.

i thought Rogue One is the only quality Star Wars movie Disney has made... so far at least. I miss loving Star Wars like I did when I was a kid and I'll probably never get back to that point, but srsly the comics are a lot of fun.

Padme clone with padme memories via force asspull magic? That should be the most plausible idea.
Real padme is alive and well? Thats the most fucked way to damage star wars continuity even more...so thats what its going to be. Padme is alive and disney feasts on the dead carcass that is star wars.

its so funny that JJ served up Rian with creating more or less the entire backstory around Luke, the Jedi academy, and Kylo's fall. just handed it to him on the shiniest silver platter possible. then Rian just did the most piss poor explanation ever, storytelling so sloppy that the comics are having to do the job he should have done in that second movie. it's like a bullet wound that various people are applying band-aids to.
seriously, we got 3 flashbacks all to the same 30 seconds confined to two characters in a single room. actually, it wasn't the same 30 seconds, it changed each time, making it a total waste of time. 3 confusing and contradictory flashbacks used to explain ~30 years of backstory.
what a fucking joke this series. no wonder they are not doing any more movies.

Not that I like what Disney is doing but IMO any lore or story falls apart when you have this silly mandate that everything has to be canon.
Having a franchise with movies, TV shows, comics, books and videogames where everything is canon and has to come together in a good and cohesive way would require an incredible amount of writing skills from everyone involved........ and Disney can't even get the movies right.

I lose interest with every passing day in all of the mass entertainment I ever cared about. I can't really blame them for producing the same pap that they always have, with maybe a smattering of novel leftist activism thrown in. My only conclusion can be that I am the one changing. The original trilogy was genius to me and shaped my world because I was a kid. It was just bubblegum like anything else, but if you happen to be born into a certain generation its importance becomes magnified. To my parents, the Beatles were like the most important thing in the history of the world and so profound. If people would just listen to John Lennon mankind would rise to a higher level. Now of course, Gen X and Millennials understand that they were just a band, a good band, but just a band no less. Zoomers and those who come after won't even know who they were.
But whatever, the Western world has amassed so much incredible literature, theater, and music over the past 1000+ years that there should not be any trouble for any of us to find things to enjoy, from lowbrow to highbrow, for the entirety of our lives, and all of them far superior to what we are being served in the 21st Century.
And to be clear, I am not talking about just straight out snobbery. But who cares about Disney's Star Wars when you could read Dune, or Starship Troopers, or Ender's Game, or Kim Stanley Robinson (trying to be fair and include some excellent lefty stuff), Ray Bradbury, etc.
Shit even in comics, if the current stuff is just trash, there are enough Silver and Bronze age books to last you forever.

When your new trilogy characters suck so bad, you need to resurrect past one's that now suck far less bad.

no, the new stuff is qualitatively worse than the old stuff. do yourself a favor and rewatch the first two SW films. there is a reason the first movie became such a giant hit, based on absolutely zero hype. it wasn't kids buying all those tickets. it won Academy Awards. it made nearly a billion dollars in a country with 100+ million fewer people than we have now.
adjusted for inflation that first movie made nearly $3 billion dollars. without the Chinese or 21st century international market. with tickets costing 1/5th the price and with 100+ million fewer people living here. that's insane.
it's not just because you were a kid. the entire world fell in love with these films.

They will do more movies, they're just taking a break to let people forget the last bunch, and subscribe to Disney+.

If you're STILL complaining about Star Wars not making sense and ruining all the original material after dealing with Force-Jesus from RoS then I really don't know what to tell you at this point.
Time to accept it's ruined and move the fuck on, it's not going to get better, you know this, everybody knows this.
When you think of Star Wars you should consider Jar Jar Binx the best and worst of Star Wars all at the same time. No matter how fucking stupid of a character he is, he was made by George Lucas to be as exactly fucking horrible as he was without any financial incentive.
PRAISE JAR JAR

That Vader's Castle or Vader's Quest or whatever it is called VR game has you trying to stop Vadee from resurrecting Padme by using an artifact that absorbs people's souls. Apparently the artifact was why Mustafar ending up the way it was used once before. And this is all canon.And they say Legends was bad (and some of it is) but so is a lot of the new Cannon. Like the time they felt the need to describe Poe Dameron farting at a wedding

damn i can't believe Poe ripped a wicked fart at Snap Wexley's wedding, while he was officiating, and then Snap farted in response, then the entire wedding erupted into everybody farting. Jar Jar looking positively dignified by comparison.

LOL what book is this from? who wrote this masterwork?

At this point I think we all owe Jar Jar an apology. I'll take him stepping in poo and getting farted at over this any day.
