Golden Girl

And let the Force flow through you?

Only for people who miss the point of Star Wars

The same things that happened while Sleeping Beauty was waiting for the Prince

Actually, it does, if you understand what Star Wars is.

"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..." (6-part space fairytale happens) "...And they all lived happily ever after".

That's it - beginning, middle and end - from Qui-Gon's "Captain" at the start of TPM to the celebrating Gungan's "Wesa free!" at the end of RotJ, that's all there is - that's Star Wars - everything else is just various levels of fan fcition.

Yup - it's like adding non-Tolkien stuff to the history of Middle-earth.

No official story, no - just various levels of fanfiction

The movies are all that matters.

Quote:

"I don't read that stuff. I haven't read any of the novels. I don't know anything about that world. That's a different world than my world. But I do try to keep it consistent. The way I do it now is they have a Star Wars Encyclopedia. So if I come up with a name or something else, I look it up and see if it has already been used. When I said [other people] could make their own Star Wars stories, we decided that, like Star Trek, we would have two universes: my universe and then this other one. They try to make their universe as consistent with mine as possible, but obviously they get enthusiastic and want to go off in other directions."

Quote:

"But there's no story past Episode VI, there's just no story. It's a certain story about Anakin Skywalker and once Anakin Skywalker dies, that's kind of the end of the story. There is no story about Luke Skywalker, I mean apart from the books. But there's three worlds: There's my world that I made up, there's the licensing world that's the books, the comics, all that kind of stuff, the games, which is their world, and then there's the fans' world, which is also very rich in imagination, but they don't always mesh. All I'm in charge of is my world. I can't be in charge of those other people's world, because I can't keep up with it."

Quote:

"I've left pretty explicit instructions for there not to be any more features. There will definitely be no Episodes VII-IX. That's because there isn't any story. I mean, I never thought of anything. And now there have been novels about the events after Episode VI, which isn't at all what I would have done with it. The Star Wars story is really the tragedy of Darth Vader. That is the story. Once Vader dies, he doesn't come back to life, the Emperor doesn't get cloned and Luke doesn't get married..."

Thank the Maker

The one which harms the fewest people while fighting the dictatorship

By following the morally correct path

It's a space fairytale

Yes and yes - I only follow the movies - fake Star Wars is worthless

I must have missed those parts in the movies

Well, it's clear that one choice is for the Resistance and one choice is for the loyalists - but does that mean it's always clear what's the right thing to do?
For example, think about the Primal Earth Freakshow mentality, with them raging against "the system" - then think how Praetorians with the same mentality would react to a geuine tyranny? If you're an evil anarchist, who thinks all authority is bad, then just imagine how you'd react to a real dictatorship.
Or, while you might be a jackbooted thug swaggering around and enforcing the dictatorship, the Syndicate, for example, are still an actual criminal organization - so just because you might spend the morning arresting the family of someone who spoke out against Tyrant, that doesn't mean you couldn't spend your afternoon fighting genuine criminals.

Anakin's personal journey is matched by the rise and fall of the Empire, with the death of Palpatine wiping out the Sith and bringing balance to the Force - Anakin's death destroys the Sith and the Empire.

Which is pointless if Palpatine survives

Really? We only saw him close his eyes on the Death Star with Luke - that's not proof that he's dead - and as for the Force ghosts, they look a lot like the holograms in the movies, so they must be holograms too.

And Catwoman is a DC character that will very likely feature in DCUO - anything less than an NCSoft death squad being dispatched at once to the OP's house will make me very seriously reconsider renewing my sub.

But every thread can be a doom thread - with enough effort
