All the while dismissing her friends as "haters" for calling the POS out and saying she deserves better. |

I think its funny that all these posters are saying "oh no look at all these girls in the trailer its the end of star wars"...
Bruh most of those characters have already been introduced, have already had amazing stories with loss, growth, development, evolvement, and sacrifice. Anybody who is turning down live action Hera, Chopper (for more than the 1 second he was in Rogue One), Sabine, more Ahsoka as some capitulation to Kathleen Kennedy's endorsement of shitty Ray-esque mary sue writing is ignorant. Probably the same idiots who did not appreciate the Zeb cameo in Mando two weeks ago. They're setting up the Ghost crew's reunion... .They're bringing Thrawn back to reconquer the galaxy... I, for one, also cannot wait to see live action Jabba show up again... and I wish we could get some Zeb - Kallus action as well. |

The Luuke concept was interesting in the way Zahn described it, what would it be like having an identical copy of a force-sensitive being facing off against the original force-sensitive being. |

All the while dismissing her friends as "haters" for calling the POS out and saying she deserves better. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Some of y'all are wound a wee bit too tight over a story. I don't always enjoy the content, sometimes it is just plain bad, sometimes its meh, sometimes its WOW! But at the end of the day, it's a story... make believe. Bigern314 said he's been a Star Wars fan since 1977. That's 45 years of investing his time, money, and emotion. Personally, for me it's not difficult to understand why some Star Wars fans are pissed about the way Disney has not only been using Star Wars, but shitting on the source material on top of it. YMMV. Yeah I just don't care personally. I saw Star Wars in the back of my mother's station wagon with four of my friends on opening night at the drive-in. I've been a big fan since, obviously not as much as some folks here... who arguably take a children's story to an unhealthy obsession. YMMV |
