This must be the epitome of a pretentious dickbag behaviour, not having even seen the movie. EU was 99% **** and 1% mediocrity. "But mah Thrawn trilogy" yeah, that was the mediocrity part and everything else was ****. Getting rid of the EU was the only sensible thing Disney could do. Hamill was "shocked and displeased" because he expected to have a role to play in TFA, which he didn't, and then Old Luke in TLJ was not what he was expecting - but if you had actually watched the full interviews instead of just some clickbait Youtube "shock"-video, you'd have learned the full story, ie one where he grew to embrace Rian Johnson's vision. He performed well in TLJ and definitely wasn't phoning it in. Check his IMDB - he hasn't acted in films since the 80s, he's only done cameos and voice work. Yet he succeed well in portraying an old and jaded Luke, who has been ground down by his failure, but who at the end learns from that mistake and sacrifices himself so that the next generation gets one more chance.Cordor said:star wars is badly written, the Expanded Universe is way better than the canonical one; I didn't watch the movie, but I saw an interview of Hamil being shocked and displeased with what they did with his character. I don't like it either I think they could have done something better with it.
As bad as it is, I am starting to prefer the prequels over the sequels

The D6 RPG supplement books, like the Galaxy Guide series, are pretty ****ing awesome. You are being unjust here.Sofia Johanna Jeanette Munsterhjelm von Platen said:EU was 99% **** and 1% mediocrity. "But mah Thrawn trilogy" yeah, that was the mediocrity part and everything else was ****.

A good point there, I was mostly talking about the EU novels that are largely generic trash that pulp-authors churn out for any and all licenced franchise. Dude writes a novel for WH40K in January, for Star Wars in February, for Battle Tech in March and for Dungeons & Dragons in April - is not a formula to evoke trust in literary greatness nor intimate knowledge of the lore. Most of that stuff is blatant fan service for fanboys and -girls anyway. KotOR I was the usual Bioware stuff, whereas the greatness in KotOR II comes from Avellone turning the black-white duality of SW on its head. The X-Wing and Tie Fighter games were great in that I agree they successfully portrayed Star Wars as an actual war, instead of wish fulfilment power fantasy (anything with Kyle Katarn in it). I don't know about the RPG books (I think there have been 3 different versions) but obviously they have to take things more seriously, if only to make it playable on tabletop.Doctor Dingleberry said:Games like KotOR I/II and TIE Fighter/X-wing Alliance handled the universe with more seriousness than George Lucas did, the latter portraying it as war instead of adventure (something that people applauded Rogue One for). Thrawn trilogy and duology were good, but I haven't read them since I was 15ish. They might have become rather quaint in hindsight.
What? This makes no sense at all.vota dc said:Why children are wannabe Resistance fighters at the end of the movie? Makes no sense. Not only Resistance is underdog but also Resistance is lead by old people. First Order leaders are very young, aren't Kylo Ren and Hux spoiled kids? Children should dream about First Order.
