Yeah, no. Keep TOR as far away from Disney as humanly possible, please.

Had not heard that. That severely narrows down the candidates, if that's the case. How hard will your mind be blown if your daughter turns out to be right and Snoke is the Grand Inquisitor from Rebels?

I still wonder if Ezra plays into Snoke someway, somehow. Nothing to back that up with, just a feeling....

I really assumed that even any hint of Bane and Revan being pulled into the canon would have you doing backflips, lol. But, I do understand you not wanting Disney to completely pussify those two, either.

I'm just afraid they wouldn't do it worth a ****. The only Bane I've seen from Dave Fillating-myself and Disney was pure shit.

Let's let the good people from BioWare and the ultra kick-ass authors they hire like Drew Karpyshin do their thing while Disney makes millions off of Emo-Villans like Kylo Ren.

Deal?

Karpyshin's Revan novel was really, really underwhelming. And I usually like his work.

Yeah, not the greatest. But, it was not he that set Revan up to be some resuscitated entity in TOR.

The initial Revan story was fantastic.

Read a bit today about the three women vying for the lead role opposite ehrenreich in the Han Solo film. Based on their ethnicities it looks like we're getting the Sana Solo storyline from the comics.

An interlude. This has nothing to do with Episode VIII.

Remember this -



Here's the sequel (or continuation) to that -

I don't even want to play the games, I just want to watch a full movie of those animations, lol.

Since TOR crashed Nvidia-based systems, I haven't played the game.

What's the breakdown on this "outer empire" of new force-scrubs?

That's seriously cool. Never got into TOR because of the subscription service crap. But that looks like a lot of fun..

What I do find interesting is the speculation about Rey's "Force Back" in TFA. Since it's premiere on Starz this month, it's been on constantly because the kids love it.

There's been speculation that half of Rey's vision is about the future, not the past, including the scene with the dead bodies and the Knights of Ren. I'm not sure I buy that but one thing I did notice is that in that particular vision, Kylo Ren seems to "see" her in that vision and moves towards her.

That's something I hadn't picked up on before.

I would guess that Rey's visions, her abilities to use the Force, her skills with a saber were all a by-product of unconsciously being connected to Luke (or another?) in some way. Just a guess, but there you go...

Luke Skywalker's Surprising Look in Star Wars: Episode VIII Detailed

This depiction is from a training sequence where Rey is frustrated with Luke’s teachings. Nick decided to go with the mechanical look of the hand because we couldn’t tell if Luke had a robotic hand or the black glove in this sequence. He also didn’t appear to have a lightsaber at all but was holding either a thin spear, thin walking stick or a piece of junk so we gave him a placeholder object for his hand in the picture.

In the film, the costume is apparently just filthy most of the time. Skywalker is more like Yoda on Dagobah in terms of style than the white regal costume he wore to meet Rey at the end of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This costume gets a lot dirtier in the film than the cartoon depiction by Lumberjack Nick.
