Spoilers The Controversial Star Wars Opinion Thread

Also, transfer essence being a thing.
So it's a force power we haven't seen before. Didn't really bother me since it seemed like it's something that complemented the other powers we'd already seen. Besides, just about every one of the other movies introduced a "new" power that hadn't been seen before, and most of them had already appeared in Legends at some point or another.
 
This is gonna sound like sacrilege but I feel like the movie actually has too much new Force lore ( new to the films, that is ) for one movie!

We get the dyad, Force heal, Force drain ( arguably ), and essence transfer!

If you're wondering why I didn't include wormholing objects to different locations via the Force, that's because the beginning of that was actually in TLJ when Kylo ended up with water from the island on him after a Force skype session with Rey.
 
For all that most people still seem to hate The Rise of Skywalker — (heck, I didn’t love it when it saw it the first time; but when I finally tried a rewatch, almost (almost!) everything I’d initially found disappointing suddenly clicked into making sense, now that the Last Movie Ever!! expectation lenses could be dispensed with) — there are a number of story seeds planted in it that I would really like to have seen more of, in some hypothetical followup. Finn’s apparent Force-sensitivity; Lando and Jannah’s new search for his daughter, who might very well be Jannah; D-O as a droid with PTSD, being humanely drawn back out by Rey; Rey’s new quest to continue the Jedi tradition; rebuilding the galaxy for good this time. There’s a lot of potential there, and I hate that the general Received Reaction seems to have made Disney afraid to just get on with it and ignore the inevitable mass sniping.
There is the first post-The Rise of Skywalker novel, The Last Order, that deals with Finn and Jannah, so that might deal with some of their left over issues.
 
I like the new Disney canon books and comics better than the old EU. There were some good EU books, but overall I have enjoyed more of the new stuff more than I did the majority of the old EU, and I think the best of the current stuff is better than any of the old EU stuff was.
 
Yeah, the EU certainly had its merits, and it kept Star Wars fans desire for new content satiated for a very long time, but it really wasn't all that. I get the affection for it. I share it. But it was the right decision to wipe the slate clean.

It's been my experience that, as with any franchise, the EU has some better stuff and some less good stuff. Naturally, we all have different tastes as fans as well. ;) I myself am not a huge fan of the Yuuzhan Vong as an enemy race, but I kind of mainly know the basics without having read any of the specific tie-in stories for them. YMMV of course. :D
 
The Force Unleashed duology was pretty damn good as well. The lead character being powerful enough to pull an Imperial Star Destroyer out of the sky and completely vaporizing someone with force lighting? Loved it!
 
The Jedi games by EA and Respawn are some of the best Star Wars storytelling since the original trilogy.
Yeah, I've been enjoying Outlaws, but Jedi: Survivor blows it out of the water on almost every level.
 
Outlaws probably has the best version of Mos Eisley in any game

The layout of the rest of Tatooine is pretty accurate to how it’s depicted in the Complete locations book, just scaled down.

Unfortunately, the game is painfully dull and repetitive. It is a bit like Starfield, where it feels like a Fortune 500 company’s HR department wrote the script.
 
i think the most controversial star wars opinion would be if disney rebooted both the star wars prequel trilogy and the star wars original trilogy
