The Nerf-Herders' Rest...(Or...It's A Trap!!...), A Star Wars discussion thread... Options

[McBadgere]

Here's the place to discuss anything to do with the Star Wars phenomenon...Whether it's the films, tv, books or even the soundtrack record... ...


---------------------------------------------------------------------


As all Star Wars discussions always end up as a heated debate...I thought a couple of rules may be in order...Well, I say rules, I mean polite guidelines really...

1. No Blasters!!...

2. No Droids!! (Bots )...

3. The person posting above or below you has as much right to their opinion - and their own love of whichever part of Star Wars - as you do...Be respectful of that...

4. Pointless slagging off is discouraged...If you don't like something, fine, that's to be expected...But please try to qualify your not liking with a half-decent reason...Answers like "Because he/she/they suck/It sucks" or that something is completely pointless because it is...Are not really decent reasons...

5. Remember that joy you had the first time you watched some Star Wars thing?...Just remember that there's a generational thing going on here...I remember when the original one came out and loved it...My kids love the newer trilogy...Others love the Clone Wars cartoons...There will be people joining at some point that will have fallen in love the new J.J. Abrams ones, them being the first ones they see...

It's all about being respectful is all... ...

As you were...I think we were debating the changing of the EU by Disney... ...

You're looking forward to Disney-made Star Wars spinoff/cashgrabs?

Now where did I put that saberstaff...

Well yeah...Any Star Wars in the cinema is good for me...

We have a severe lack of decent adventure sci-fi at the moment...

And as J.J. has abandoned Trek for Wars then I'm happy to have however much they want to give headed our way...



As for the Expanded Universe...Quite obviously there are those that love it, and those that think it should stop with the films...

As I said at the start, I respect that...And don't feel that either side should be disparaged in any way...

But I know how much I've loved reading the E.U. stuff...Even if I'm having trouble remembering a lot of it now...*Sigh*...

But I'm pretty definite that Mercy Kill is headed to the top of my list of the most awesomely amazing favourite SW novels ever...It's so brilliant, it's almost tear inducing...

And as J.J. has abandoned Trek for Wars

That's good for Star Trek. Bad for Star Wars though... If Disney owning the franchise was not bad enough... Now if they could get someone like Bryan Singer to make the movies, they might turn out decent.
