    The return of Sidious was already just okay in the EU. To bring it in to the mainline sequels? Bruh. Where are my Yuuzhan Vong?

      Extended universes always have some really bizzare power creep / weird situations happening. The authors need to one up each other and think of stupider stuff with every book.

      Always found it crazy that of all the stories they could have taken inspiration from they chose one of the few that was panned on release

        George fumbled the ball hard with the prequels and its never quite been picked back up since. In the 90s, the original cast was all the perfect age to reprise their roles with something like an adaptation of the Thrawn trilogy. It would have been such a fucking slam dunk but instead we got the Prequels and Star Wars hasn’t had a good movie since 1983.

            One of my favorite places to eat is Alberto’s, that doesn’t make it good.

              Okay but like Revenge of the sith because I thought it was good.

              I like Maximum Overdrive because it’s not good.

              Adam Sandler movies are a guilty pleasure
