Love his beard, and been lifting some weights!
quote:It's also not entirely true. That was a single, limited-use variant of the XJ X-wing called the StealthX. It could absolutely fire proton torpedoes and do anything else a normal X-wing could do, but it became detectable if the pilot did so. They were used exclusively by Jedi specifically because the Jedi didn't need to use radio communications which could be detected and because they could use the force to fire "Shadow Bombs" instead of using the proton torpedoes.
That's the sort of thing in the EU that drives me crazy. Force use for the sake of Force use.

It wasn't Force use sake for the sake of Force use, it was a purely tactical decision.

Me too, and he was always my favorite, which is weird because Han is definitely the strongest character in the movies.

Here are some fun bullet points that have solidified enough through different channels to be reportable:
- There will be a female villain. Over 50% sure she's a Sith. I'll follow up on this in later weeks.
- Despite having 30 Years after Jedi to set one up, there is NO New Republic at the start of Episode VII.
- Boba-Fett-similar armor is around. Probably not for the man himself. Mandalorians? Clone drama? Still unclear on a plot/character connection.
- John Boyega isn’t a Jedi or a Padawan at the beginning of the movie, he’s the one that has the story arc that brings him into Star Wars’ greater universe. It has echoes of Luke’s arc in A New Hope.
Have it at, speculate away! I’m just as curious about some of those developments as you are.
