Re: Star Wars SPOILERS ALLOWED
They broke the Expand Universe. It is now called Legends. Anything that hasn't appeared on TV is no longer cannon. This is a good thing as Chewie is dead in the expanded universe. And Han is dead in the canon universe. Not a good trade IMO. Rey is a pilot because she is a scavenger and needs to be ...

Re: Page 108 & 109 Discussion
Just about everything you've said is true, but recall that one of the central questions for Humanity in this story is which side should they take? If everything where that clear-cut, there wouldn't be much plot tension. The fact that the Loroi are just as likely to decide to exterminate Humanity be...

Re: Page 108 & 109 Discussion
While I agree that the Loroi may not necessarily have genocide as their default setting, the scenario you've described is exactly what the Umiak did to the Orgus. Thus my original point: the Loroi aren't really much better than the Umiak in terms of morality. In the case of Humanity, we are definit...

Re: Star Wars SPOILERS ALLOWED
being a huge Star Wars nerd I can say it was fun, but there's no way it'll replace the good parts of EU as "canon" in my head. It felt way too detached even from the other movies to really offer quite that much spectacle. I'd type up all my complaints if I didn't have to use On-Screen keyboard righ...

Re: Star Wars SPOILERS ALLOWED
I just saw it earlier today, and I must admit I was disappointed. It's not "prequels" bad -- the acting and direction are fine -- but the story seemed haphazard. Stuff happened... just because. Characters like each other... because, I guess the script says they're supposed to. R2-D2 wakes from his ...

Re: Page 108 & 109 Discussion
I'm not sure where you get the idea that losing the Loroi means destruction joe. It's true that they have genocided twice that we know of, but I don't think we're privy to the Umiak's history in that regard and in both cases there was obvious reasons for it to happen (Long-term antagonism and simple...

Re: Star Wars SPOILERS ALLOWED
MY question is, will we find out next movie, or the movie after. I'm assuming it'll be a "big reveal" at the end of 8 (possibly with Luke's death?) since they seem quite happy to try and hit the same notes as the OT so far.sunphoenix wrote:I DO however believe she IS Luke's daughter though...

Oh yeah, her, that makes sense, and I put spoilers allowed in the header specifically so that no one will come in not expecting spoilers, so feel free to leave stuff exposed. The fact that she's that good at using the force in a matter of days, when Luke took months including actually being trained ...

Re: Star Wars SPOILERS ALLOWED
I'm not sure I'd call Finn a Mary Sue. He's a good shot, but that's basically the extent of his skills, and he doesn't APPEAR to be force-sensitive, so he's not apparently special in any way that I can see.

With any luck if you can get a run of pages out you'll be able to get a larger following to build up.

Star Wars SPOILERS ALLOWED
So anyone else but me think that Rey is Luke's daughter?
Overall I give the movie 7/10, better than the prequels, but not up to the OT that it so slavishly references over and over.

Re: Evacuate Earth
Just restarting things like the M1 rocket design would go a long way in a short time. The M1 and F1A were reasonably well developed back in the 70s.

Re: Evacuate Earth
I doubt it was designed as a launch system due to the obvious issues with massive radiological pollution, especially given the extra power needed for launch.
