Faster Than Light Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 He's non-canon until he is shown and/or directly mentioned. Similar to how Darth Zannah (Bane's apprentice) isn't canon as of now even though Darth Bane has been shown in TCW. And for the question about Revan. He's a total mary sue. He is a great lightsaber duelist, he has been called the 'Heart of the Force', is extremely powerful in the force. And not only that, he has mastered the Light Side and the Dark Side and can use them all together. Not only that, he is a master strategist and tactician, and extremely charismatic. He is so good that even the Mandalorians (who are known to hate force users a lot) love him. Pretty much he was the best at everything. And his story in TOR was ridiculous combined with the above items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 He has to be OP because he's a game character. The games would be no fun if you had limitations and weaknesses like that. If they were to write him into a show or movie I think they'd handle him with more tact. What a weird hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Than Light Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 No. He's overpowered in the legends lore. Not just game mechanics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Well luckily for you that isn't canon. I would like to see a version of The Revanchist in the current canon, they can rework it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Than Light Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 I wouldn't mind if he was reworked. So, i'm not sure if this has been discussed in here, but anyone thinking that Luke will be an antagonist in Episode 8? I'm hearing that theory a lot.

M3J Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Would be a very weird curve given what Luke represents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam the d00d Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Point still stands though, we've seen Force users use the Force competently enough to achieve their goals. Also, it's a shame they won't use EU as inspiration for the movies. would love to see Yuuzhan Vong series be made into movies, minus the "inside joke" dialogues. Oh god no lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam the d00d Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 They're just playground bullshit. You can tell because they come with a list of rules such as the force not working on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M3J Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Naw, it'd be fun. I mean, seeing Luke go Light Side Super Saiyan would be something to see, especially given the tech we have today. And instead of having somewhat of an easy challenge, we can see the new Jedi Order struggling to deal with the battle-crazy Vong that doesn't have the Force near them, and the Skywalker and Solo families dealing with losses and gains. Or, at least Thrawn and Hand of Thrawn trilogies would have been great. Problem would probably be getting an actor to portray Luke years after the death of Vader, since Mark would be too old. Mara Jade would probably be another Han Solo with a darker past, but she would also appeal to feminists and the weird lefties, so there's that too.

Creepia Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Even if any of them were made, they wouldn't be close to resembling the books anyway. I can't see Luke going ultra light side anymore, not after what has happened in the movies. If he doesn't turn further toward the dark side, I can see Luke living out the remainder of his days as a mopey emo who trains Rey and picks up the pieces of his fallen Order. There will probably not be a Mara Jade on the big screen. Thrawn maybe, because he is canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M3J Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 If we still stuck to the books, he still could have. He even became a Sith apprentice for a while and was legit on the Dark Side until he was saved, and that was years before he and his nephew became the living embodiment of the Light Side of the Force. Though, while I don't want Luke to become a villain, I certainly wouldn't mind him becoming more and more ambiguous. I dunno, maybe there might be, given what happened in the last movie. She is considered to be a female version of Han, and Han was one of the reasons why Star Wars became so popular. But seeing Thrawn would be pretty cool, if they keep his intellect.

Creepia Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 We dont need a female version of Han. Not now, not now that we have Poe who seems to be in that similar role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepia Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Scoundrel can mean a lot of things. You can look too hard into the character if you want, but hes clearly being placed in that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senex Beast Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 I'm sad the Shadows of the Empire book will never get adapted other than maybe an N64 game remaster/digital title on the current consoles. Xizor on the big screen would be awesome and I want someone like Karl Urban to play Dash Rendar, my favorite original EU character! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Than Light Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I would have liked to see Xizor in Rebels more so than in a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Heard that some theaters are actually refusing to show Last Jedi, because Disney is making crazy demands for how much of the box office they get or something. Sad thing is, you know people will give the theaters shit for not showing it...which will ultimately lead to theaters feeling forced to show future movies at a loss. This is how smaller theaters end up closing, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how smaller theaters end up closing, tbh. I work in a cinema over here in the UK and Disney are by far the worst film distributor we have to deal with. In the US weren't they demanding something like 60-70% of all ticket sales for Last Jedi? As well as making Cinemas show the movie in their largest screens for upto 4 weeks, which kills all other competition over the holiday period. Really is disgusting but there's very little that can be done because Disney hold a monopoly when it comes to their big franchises. Sadly that's also why concessions at the cinema cost as much as they do and continue to rise in price in order for these places to make a profit.

M3J Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Ugh, Disney's annoying. But I'm so excited for The Last Jedi, too much suspense in learning more about Rey and seeing what she'll be able to do once she improves being able to control the Force. If the series wasn't hampered by technological and stunt limitations, we probably would have seen more impressive duels, especially from Luke. Assuming that he would be agile enough, that is.

Senex Beast Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 I guess that sucks for theaters and certain movie goers but that side of business doesn't interest me. I rarely go to movie theaters but the movie I'll be going to see anytime soon happens to be Last Jedi and my favorite theater in town will be showing it and so I'm all good.
