Spoilers The Controversial Star Wars Opinion Thread

How much do I think?
Way more than you should about random people's opinion on Star Wars.

It's just that, an opinion.

It's not life changing, it's not going to change your personal views on the franchise.

Your views on Star Wars has been formed for quite a while, I doubt it'll change anytime soon or will likely ever change by this point.

You have no idea what I think on fans opinions. And if that's the impression I've given then I apologize for giving you the wrong opinion.

I don't give a shit about other people's opinions. I do enjoy conversations and getting to know people.

But, I'm sure you'll say I care too much there too :beer:
 
Good!


Cool!


Maybe that's your nature, especially given your profession.
Nah, I've been this way way longer than I've been in my profession. I've never cared for popularity but prefer to hear what others think.

It's easier that way. I know my opinions and know what I think on things. Don't need to talk to myself.
 
Oh, that was old EU canon, pretty much. He was a shell of a human being - literally. Bathed in bacta to keep his horribly burned flesh from permanently dying, pumped with painkillers and using the Dark Side to manage the discomforts that the bacta and other drugs didn't.

I didn’t read a whole lot of the EU. That was pure Bill. :guffaw:
 
With the mask Vader could get away with his snark more easily than before. Plus those that disapproved disappeared shortly after.
 
Controversial opinion: Palpatine's/the Empire's human supremacist movement, as implied by the all-human makeup of the Empire in the OT, and elaborated on in the EU, should have been a prominent part of the prequel trilogy and general time period.

The downside: it would risk making a heavy-handed WW2/Nazism analogy, and reduce the franchise's inherent escapism. The upside: it would give Palps and his space fascists an Other to target (and fascist movements always require an Other to target). And, unlike the meaningless Republic vs. Separatist conflict, it could have provided the story with an appreciable conflict, and clear emotional stakes.
 
The idea that the Empire was human supremacist seems to be ignored by Disney, where at least in the current tie-in continuity we know Mas Amedda continued to be second in line after Palpatine throughout the Empire's entire existence and aliens continued to be a part of the social elite all along as well.
