Agree. Good book. I didn't realize it was no longer canon though.

It's a real shame Count Dooku lost his hands and his head. Dude could really ball.

Glad to see Bryce Dallas Howard directing. I always enjoy her episodes that she directs. Wish they'd give her a movie (if she wants it).

Do we have any information on BIPOC Representation in the new trilogy?

Apparently, writing isn't Jamal's strong suit.

And this boys and girls is a perfect example of why to NEVER bend the knee to identity politics when it comes to telling a story because it's never enough….after this it'll be a black female….and then after that it'll be an Indian….then the next and the next…..

All the while catering to a group that never intended to watch it anyway and sacrificing a story to appease people that aren't giving you money….

Rian Johnson fixed and destroyed Finn's character arc in about 2 minutes.

this! Finn could have been such a cool idea and they butchered it big time in the last Jedi.

John Boyega comes to Rian's office, eager to start talking the Last Jedi

Rian: "So, John remember in the last movie where you were morally conflicted, then you tried to run, then you came back, and became a hero of the Resistance, had some really sharp humor moments, saved Rey from Starkiller Base, complete with a brief lightsaber fight vs. Kylo Ren?"

Boyega: "Gor Blimey, that was a good time, what's next for old FN?"

Rian: "Well I thought we'd make you into a bumbling idiot who still wants to jump ship, botches a mission to find an underworld expert, rides a space horse, gets caught infiltrating a command ship in the first 5 minutes, is rescued twice by a ball, has a decent 3 minute fight vs. Brienne of Tarth, then try to blow up a giant cannon with the Star Wars equivalent of a 1972 Datsun 510, only to be saved at the last second by a woman you met earlier that day who says she's in love with you."

Boyega: "Oh, OK. Do I take things further with Daisy's character? We had some great chemistry in the first one."

Rian: "You're in 2 scenes together. You hug one time, and then she's talking to Poe in the next one."

Boyega: "Ummmm OK, but Poe is back! I bet we have some fun adventures!"

Rian: "You're also in 2 scenes with him. The first time you're talking to an alien on a Zoom call and the second time almost shoots you,."

Boyega: "Ummm, OK. But this is Luke's big ,movie, right? I bet he's anxious to talk to Finn about the final moments of Han Solo."

Rian: "You're in one scene with Luke. He totally ignores you."

Boyega: "Leia? Do i talk to Leia?"

Rian: "A little bit. And then you steal something that she drops after she falls into a coma."

Boyega: "Riight, then. Chewie? My comic foil in the first one?"

Rian: "You are never in the same frame together at all."

Boyega: 'Screw this, I'm taking that job in the Pacific Rim sequel."

Strong agree about Finn (even as I agree with Bowman regarding BIPOC Representation).

His budding romance with Rose was a major highlight of Kennedy's tenure, and they really need to return to it.

It's safe to assume that anything written in the EU is not canon unless otherwise noted.

I think the Plagueis book was the last thing that came out before they moved to the new timeline. But clearly a ton of stuff has re-entered the vernacular because they were good ideas- Thrawn, the nightsisters of Dathomir, a ton of Mando culture including the beskar, etc.

Maybe it's been done if Battlefront 2 but how about a squad of rookie stormtroopers working on Endor to establish a base - and the. being hunted by the flesh eating night terror Ewoks.

Either Jedi Outcast or Jedi Academy has a great level with a mutant rancor that you can't even put a dent in no matter what you do to it. It's in a warehouse and you eventually kill it with a force field or something. There are stormtroopers in the level who are alternately trying to kill you / getting eaten by the thing.

I'm getting old. I was thinking it was one of the first things put out after Disney took over.

I think maybe timewise it was, but they counted it as the last non- new canon book because of the planning date.

It's a tremendous shame because it would be a phenomenal movie or mini-series, starting with Plagueis killing Tenebrous and completely reshaping some events of the Phantom Menace, while tying i probably 10-15 other media pieces from the prequel era and giving birth to some really phenomenal artwork as well. I just listened to the audio book and there's a scene on Coruscant where Plagueis gets ambushes by these assassins and just about dies that would be such a great movie scene.




Tim Zahn will always be the SW GOAT author for me, but Matthews Stover has some amazing titles as well including this one, the Mace Windu Apocalypse Now novel "Shatterpoint", and a really fascinating look at how diffferent Jedi & Sith view the force in the ROTS novelization.

I've blocked out most of the events of Book of Boba Fett, but was Boba riding Jabbas Rancor or was that a different Rancor?

You're asking if Boba Fett rode around on Rancor that had been dead for 10 years?

Stupid time lines

I was thinking of the baby Rancor that crash lands on Tattooine in Tales from Jabbas Palace. Which was Jabbas Rancor, just before it was Jabbas.
