  1. Luke never deflected the force lightning in the film. He immediately went down. This isn't canon.
  2. The new favorites of the Chaos Gods? Not really. The 40k universe already has tons of warriors and psykers who have been shown to be far more powerful than most Force users. The vast majority of the Sith would end up being small-time minions lost in the infinite ranks of Chaos. Nothing more. A typical Space Marine is more than a match for a Force user on the level of a seasoned Jedi Knight. And they have access to weapons that can cut through pretty much anything as well, so the Lightsaber isn't that impressive. Also, Dark Side insanity is nothing compared to the reality-r@ping insanity of the Warp. I'd say a lot of those Sith are probably gonna sh*t their pants in agonizing horror when they get a small taste of Chaos. Again, the Sith are not that scary when compared the forces of Chaos. Certainly not scary enough to rise to daemonhood status. To say that they would have no problem crushing entire legions of traitor Space Marines and even the Primarch demigods is, quite simply, laughable. I find it highly unlikely the Force would be able to do anything to the Warp.
  3. It has been established for years that the EU was set in an alternate universe that wasn't canon in Lucas' Star Wars. The new storyline was shaped by some of Lucas' ideas apparently, so it's not really a huge surprise that it won't follow the EU. Still, I doubt that it will be live action. The main actors are too old now. No way they're gonna be able to bring back Carrie Fisher. Most likely gonna be cgi with some of the main cast voice acting.
  4. This is....interesting. Things have taken a turn for the surreal.
  5. Mediocre acting. Bland characters. Massive overuse of CGI. Convoluted plot. That and just tons of little things. Crap like Padme's death. People like her do not just die instantly because of a "broken heart". Especially when they have access to highly advanced medical technology. Anyways, the RedLetterMedia reviews pretty much nailed it.
  6. Only in the EU is it canon. He is killed and gone forever in the film universe. "Once Vader dies, he doesn't come back to life, the Emperor doesn't get cloned and Luke doesn't get married." - Lucas, 2008
  7. And their boss, the creator and owner of the franchise, says there is two. Lucas > anyone else. Also, that "Keeper of Canon" you mentioned stated this in 2006 on the official SW forums: “Anything not in the current version of the films is irrelevant to Film only continuity.” Yup. Film Only Continuity. Straight from Leeland Chee the Holocron Keeper himself.
  8. Actually, Lucas was the one who allowed Fett to return in the EU. And no, when Lucas says things like he was "killed" and "dead", he kinda means DEAD. It doesn't matter what is said in the film about 1,000 year digestion. There are still many ways someone can die after falling, being swallowed by a big monster and then having a massive hovercraft explode on top of that monster. We don't know exactly how Fett died, but he DID die at some point in the Sarlacc. The creator of universe confirmed it. More than once. What you seem to not understand about the EU novels is that they are set in a seperate continuity. A "parallel universe" is what Lucas says. This has also been clearly stated several times by him and staff (Chee included). Fett did die in RotJ. His survival in the EU's alternate history is irrelevant to the films. You should probably do a little more research on the subject before you start insulting people's intelligence. Kthx.
  9. Lucas and his employees have made it very clear that Fett died in the film. He didn't climb out.
  10. I see this scene brought up a lot, and it's a pretty bad example of good accuracy. Like you said, they were all just hip spraying into a tight hallway packed with rebels. Most of their shots missed. Hell, we see a trooper shooting into the ceiling at one point. Nothing impressive here at all.
  11. Well, you're right. The story of Star Wars ends after Vader dies in RotJ. "There will definitely be no Episodes VII–IX. That's because there isn't any story. I mean, I never thought of anything. And now there have been novels about the events after Episode VI, which isn't at all what I would have done with it. The Star Wars story is really the tragedy of Darth Vader. That is the story. Once Vader dies, he doesn't come back to life, the Emperor doesn't get cloned and Luke doesn't get married." - George Lucas, 2008 Actually, Lucas does know the lore of Star Wars better than anyone. The EU is not his Star Wars. It's not part of the story he created. They are two different lores. He really doesn't need to know the lore of some alternate universe that's based on his creation.
  12. Are the jedi right before order 66 weaker than SWTOR jedi? Probably. Force users from SW are much weaker than the Force users from the EU alternate universe.
  13. So wrong. Like Paeris said, the supernovas were the byproducts of the war in the Continuum. They don't kill Q. Please show me this evidence that the Celestials were equal to the Q. The Celestials weren't even on the level of the Douwd, who can do things like instantly erase entire space faring civilizations from existence with a mere thought. Or Trelane's race, who are able to create entire planets, move them around, re-arrange the structure of matter nearly instantly, reshape environments and generate complex and powerful energy fields on mental command. The Q can do all this and travel to any point in space or time (like before the Big Bang), alter the size of any object (like reducing starships to subatomic proportions), create realities, change the constants of the universe, etc etc. All they have to do is think it and it happens. The Celestials aren't that impressive in comparison.
  14. Hold on. When did this happen? I assume you're referring to this ESB asteroid scene where a Destroyer takes a direct hit to the command tower. The scene where the entire command tower is annihilated by the impact and the rest of the ship explodes moments later???
  15. I would say the Federation advances FAR faster than the Republic/Empire in technology. Time ships were being used by the Federation as early as the 26th century. Some of their vessels are also beyond transwarp by this point. They can fold space and are exploring other galaxies besides the Milky Way. - TNG: “A Matter of Time” / Ent: “Azati Prime”. By the 29th century, they possess incredible technologies that allow them to monitor different timelines, alter the timelines with time ships and temporal transporters (capable of beaming an individual to virtually any point in space and time) and protect themselves from these changes with temporal sensors and shielding. Entire classes of time ships are being built. - VOY: “Future's End”, “Relativity” By the 31st century, Federation technology has become so advanced that they’re able to create ships that are larger on the inside than on the outside. Think TARDIS. Time travel is so common that Federation teaches kids how to build devices that send messages through time in high school. Time wars are fought. - ENT: “Future Tense”, “Shockwave, Part II” The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of erasing your enemies from history itself, which the Federation and many other Trek species are fully capable of doing at their height. The Galactic Republic has existed for tens of thousands of years and yet it never reached anywhere near the level of technology that the young Federation will achieve in only a mere 400 years after its creation.
  16. I think it's ridiculous that someone would just pick up and leave if same sex relationships were implemented. In this game, you can choose to execute an entire group of POWs by firing squad. You can mercilessly choke a civilian and then snap his neck with the force. You can own a slave and treat them like crap. You can cheat, lie, steal and murder if you want. But, OH NO!!! Two people of the same sex having the option to start a romantic relationship!! Blasphemy! Heresy! That's the worse possible thing you can implement!!! I'm uninstalling IMMEDIATELY!!!111 Seriously. What a joke.
  17. The reason why there hasn't been more movies is because there is no story after RotJ. That is where the Star Wars story ends.
  18. He said he considered doing the scene, but decided not to do it in the end. He says right before that in the same quote that Fett did die (see signature below.) It's pretty clear that Fett is dead.
  19. No. Even after Lucas approved Fett's return in the alternate universe, he continued to say Fett was killed in RotJ. It doesn't matter that we never saw Fett die in the film or that it wasn't in the script. Lucas confirmed his death. No door has been left open. Fett died in the movie.
  20. *sigh* I'll repeat myself again. I have already said many many times that Fett is alive and kicking in the alternate reality that is the EU and that Lucas approved it. Work on your reading comprehension skills. I didn't miss what you said, I just decided to ignore it. I never said he died in the EU and I never said anything about Lucas retconning his survival in the EU. Also, I don't worship Lucas. I am simply pointing out what the creator/owner of the franchise and his employees have stated. Fett died in the true Star Wars universe.
  21. Sorry. The movies are over. Lucas says he's done with the films and that he doesn't want anyone else messing with them. "I'm not going to do it. I'm too old. I've got other movies I want to do. And I don't want anybody else to do it, so I've locked it up so nobody can ever do it. There may be TV offshoots from people, but the saga itself, the story of the Skywalker family, is over." - George Lucas, 2004 Even if he did decide to make more films, you wouldn't be seeing those EU events, because they never happened in his Star Wars universe. "I've left pretty explicit instructions for there not to be any more features. There will definitely be no Episodes VII-IX. That's because there isn't any story. I mean, I never thought of anything. And now there have been novels about the events after Episode VI, which isn't at all what I would have done with it. The Star Wars story is really the tragedy of Darth Vader. That is the story. Once Vader dies, he doesn't come back to life, the Emperor doesn't get cloned and Luke doesn't get married..." - George Lucas, 2008 "Yes, the books follow the continuity of the films as best we can taking into account that George follows his own continuity, and rightly so. He's the filmmaker. As far as 'legitimate continuation of the films' -- If George had continued making SW films past Return of the Jedi, I don't think they would have reflected what the SW authors have written." - Sue Rostoni, Lucas Licensing (LLP Managing Editor), 2005 "No. George doesn't give us much information about his future movies until he's making them. In general, George does not take the EU into account when he's making his movies. I feel like I ALWAYS have to qualify myself because there'll be somebody out there who will say 'BUT WHAT ABOUT....' and then go on to say that we're wrong and covering up..... It's why none of us really give you 'facts.' When we do, there's those one or two that blast us into silence. It's our job to manipulate the EU into fitting George's future movies, which often contradict stuff we've done. Not our ONLY job, of course." - Sue Rostoni, Lucas Licensing (LLP Managing Editor), 2003
  22. The Expanded Universe is not the true story of Star Wars. Lucas's "little narrowverse" is. Ok? What's your point? Boba Fett is alive in the EU. Like I said. Actually, Fett would be dead by default. "When it comes to absolute canon, the real story of Star Wars, you must turn to the films themselves - and only the films." - Chris Cerasi, LucasBooks' Editor, 2001 "As many fans know, when it comes to Star Wars knowledge, there are degrees of 'canon.' The only true canon are the films themselves." - Steve Sansweet, LFL/Fan Relations, 2000 In the end, the fact is that the EU has been directly stated to be not a part of the same universe, separate to and different from Lucas's "Absolute Canon" universe, which is the real story of Star Wars. Boba Fett died in the true Star Wars universe. Therefore, by default, Boba Fett would be dead.
  23. We've been over this countless times already. Boba Fett died in Star Wars. He survived in a parallel universe based on Star Wars. It's that simple.
  24. Yea. I agree with ReiKai. These battle aren't going to be very interesting since SW characters would be totally destroyed by the majority of characters from DC/Marvel. The most powerful SW characters would barely have a chance against even the low-mid tier superheroes/villains from the comics. Also, Deadpool would crush the Fetts with ease.
  25. I'm not entirely sure who would win between Superman and Darkseid, but both Luke and Sidious are killed or incapacitated very quickly once this battle begins. Superman and Darkseid far outclass the two Force users. If I had to choose, I'd say that Darkseid defeats Superman after an extremely close fight.
