I like Star Wars, it's just not something that I pay terribly close attention to anymore; I will fully admit to being way too into Battlestar Galactica, though. The books I remember reading most were part of a Goosebumps-like series called Galaxy of Fear. I don't know why I read it, considering I hated anything scary when I was a kid, but there's was something about them that drew me in. I should try to find some of them and reread them. Ah yes, the things I remember most about Star Wars are now wiped from existence. Goodbye, Leia and Han's children. I would love to get into comic books, but they're so vast and intimidating that it almost seems pointless. My best shot would probably be the Mega Man Archie series, which wasn't too terribly long before it ended, and I actually caught the first few story arcs when they were released. To be fair Disney takes some extended universe facts and uses them like Leia and Han have a kid it's just a bit different from the 3 in its extended universe. The main Star Wars book series I remember reading was the last of the Jedi, which Rebels seems to take much inspiration from.

It's just not the same... I'll miss those little rascals. I mean, I only read like one book that had them, and I don't remember any of their names, but I'm sure they were adorable. 10 minutes ago, RedRob said: They're kind of pointless with all the retcons. I mean, one of the most cliche jokes about comic books is how no one stays dead. Honestly, I like manga more than comics since manga tends to have some end goal in mind. Comic books don't, and bend over backwards to keep moving. I'm just kinda bad in general with long-form stories, like TV shows and manga/comic books. RPGs take me way too long to beat as well (except Fire Emblem, for some reason). To give an idea of what I mean: Earthbound took me 3 years to finally beat, thanks to playing it off-and-on. Shadows of Valentia took me 6 days. And I'm pretty sure SoV is longer than Earthbound. 10 minutes ago, Anime27Arts said: The main Star Wars book series I remember reading was the last of the Jedi, which Rebels seems to take much inspiration from. I actually have that series sitting on my bookshelf right now. It's been many years since I've read them and I've forgotten everything about them, but I do have them. Don't tell anyone, but I only edited my last post because I forgot to count as well. 235 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Glacies Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I used to be a big Star Wars fan, having a bunch of figurines, lightsabers, Lego sets, etc. (not to mention how many times I was Darth Vader for Halloween). But... I dunno. I grew out of it I suppose, focusing on video games like Pokemon instead. Never got into anything beyond the movies anyway, so you might not even call me a fan to begin with. Also I'm not saying I don't like Star Wars now of course - I still like it, just not as much. CCXXXVI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MC of The Last of the Jedi is very similar to Ezra, the MC of rebels, just Trever was a lot smart initially. @Rex Glacies You can still be a fan without going to extreme lengths. My younger brother was obsessed with it so I picked up a lot of things from that. When we were little we made Star Wars 7-12 And I'd argue they are better than the ones that are currently being made 238 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reference to another series I enjoy very casually. I'm almost surprised they didn't have Ben's name be Anakin too; joking aside, that would've been a neat callback both to the original movies, as well as the expanded universe that they mercilessly crushed between their fingers. What's your opinion on Rogue One? I've heard mostly good things, but I have yet to see it myself. 239 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRob Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 240 Rogue One was okay, the droid character was the best part. Part of the problem is that the characters are nothing special, so the movie is kind of boring since you know what's going to happen.

It was good, but somehow felt forced and boring. The characters definitely needed to be fleshed out more. Although, the best part was whenever Vader was on screen. Miltank.

Jingle Jangle Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 242 My problem with Rouge One was the editing, I was confused for the first half of the film. Plus few of the characters are noteworthy. Shame that some of the footage shown in the trailers, will never be released due to Disney hold the the franchise.

Unless you are a huge Star Wars nerd you were probably lost in the beginning. A lot of people didn't know Saw Guerra so they missed a lot not understanding what was going on. I appreciated it for all of its tie ins to everything connecting in Rebels and Clone Wars, but unless you knew it was happening you didn't get it and the movie didn't mean quite as much. The last scenes of the movie are the best by far because that's where you action is and not your classic space politics. Don't get attached to any character, just do yourself a favor and don't. Best Character is a Droid. I actually remember the names of Jyn and that's it. I enjoyed the movie but if you go into the movie expecting Jedi, Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, etc then it will be extremely disappointing. 243 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultBeep Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Alright, thanks for the opinions everyone. I'll keep them in mind once I get around to watching it; I'm very curious about this droid character now. 244 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
