Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII That villain's main weakness? The laughter of his opponents. Even Michael Bay couldn't make a character that stupid. At least I don't think so.
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII Star Wars was never about realism. Certain force users can shoot frickin lightning out of the hands Throwing a lightsaber and having it fly back to you without slicing your arm or limb is the norm in that universe

Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII Nyax was also possibly Palpatine's son or something like that. There was also another son from the early goofy YA novels who had three eyes.
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII Oh yeah, I remember reading about this guy. Was discovered under the old city of Coruscant or something to that effect. Wasn't there a fan contest to design him?
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII He reminds me of the Trek Fan ship designs with 358 torpedo launchers and 18 warp nacelles.
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII Could be mistaken, but the fan contest I think was for the Legacy Of The Force series, to name the Sith lord from that series. Spoiler: LOTF Darth Caedus,Who is Jacen Solo
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII Even the Narada wasn't as heavily-armed as that guy.
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII Here's the wiki article for the novel featuring Nyax: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enemy_Lines:_Rebel_Stand The late Allston also wrote the X-wing novels which featured Wraith Squadron as well as novels from Legacy Of The Force and Fate Of The Jedi.
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII The lens flare gave it away as a fake, anyways, albeit a clever-looking one.
