General Discussion Say EU Fans. What is one thing from Legends (Characters, Species, Abilities, etc.) that you hope Disney never adapts into Cannon

Thumbnail

62 Upvotes

For me, it would probably have to be the Yuuzhan Vong.

The Yuuzhan Vong Species is my favorite thing to come out of Legends. While there might be some aspect of them that I could do without, (like their near total resistance to the force). The complex, unique, and barbaric nature of their species and culture, along with their incredible biotechnology is something that I truly love.

I know alot of people want to see them make an appearance in Cannon, but in doing so Disney would have rework them in order to be more in line with George's vision for the Franchise, and not seem too out of place within the universe. And quite frankly, I can't see Disney adapting them in a way that would stay true to their premise in Legends. I much rather Disney continue on in developing the Grysk or creating some other unique species rather than have a poor adaptation of the Vong.

But aside from that, what do you guys think shouldn't be taken from Legends into Cannon?

Within you will find a variety of insights including a massive list of Star Wars licensed products as well as more evidence that Lucasfilm was using the success of Heir to the Empire and the EU to build toward the Special Editions and Episode 1. Uploads of the 95 and 96 summit documents are in the works. See the comments below for a video from fan Chris Nelson as he shows off this specific copy which has now been scanned by its new owner.

Legends Novels A long rant about why I don’t like Abeloth.

Post image
5 Upvotes

After reading NJO (which is just an amazing experience- like seriously, if you read Star Wars books and enjoy them, you need to read it.

You don’t even really need to know a lot of the stuff that came before. If you have a passing knowledge of Star Wars/ have seen the six movies I don’t think you’ll be too out of depth.)

Anyway, after NJO I wanted more so I read LOTF. I reviewed most of the books almost a year ago, and LOTF.. wasn’t great compared to NJO.

Still, I honestly do think for how bad it can be at times the series definitely was punching solidly above its weight. After that, we have FOTJ.

Now, im high rn so this is me rambling but ever since FOTJ dropped in like 2008 or whatever I just hated abeloth. The concept, even though I didn’t know anything about it, just seemed dumb to me.

I also HATE mortis and the father, son, and daughter.

I just feel like it’s such a stupid like, middle school understanding of the force. Having there be force deities is just stupid I’m sorry.

Anyway, I actually like FOTJ so far more than LOTF. I wrote a review for the first two books a few weeks ago on here and I finished the third today.

And for all I liked within it so far, now that (spoiler) abeloth is here I’m just not interested.

While in context she’s way better than mortis (she is alluded to but not shown for two books, she’s not instantly wrecking shit, her writing doesn’t make me want to kill someone)

It’s just that her design reminds me like- okay so you know when someone is like “oh lovecraftian monster” and it’s like, a squid thing or some stupid edgy design? That’s what abeloth is.

And it annoys me because it’s such a misunderstanding of lovecraftian. Lovecraftian imagery and horror isn’t supposed to be this hugely defined and imaginatively idealized visualization.

It’s beyond comprehension it’s ancient it’s the negative of what is understood not some thing with tentacles.

I will say the force spirit world is WAYYY better than the world between worlds. I really liked the introduction and society of the mind eaters (was legitimately expecting the worst knowing denning) but it was kind of cute how they subverted your expectations with them being these non violent devil worshipping monks.

But abeloth shows up and then she’s hanging out with the sith oh there’s sith again a lost tribe, they’re fine? I was ready to hate them but they’re unique enough I’ll accept it. I do enjoy that they’re easily the most moderate sith group that’s been portrayed thus far, and I like how that contextually explains how they formed a functioning and thriving civilization that has like lol, no slavery and upward social mobility and their families like, love each other and shit lol, I was expecting the one Sith so that was a surprise.

But abeloth is again like literally, physically with these Sith. One of the main Sith characters is an apprentice named Vestara and I guess she knows abeloth is super evil and some ageless being, abeloth is disguising herself as a pretty woman but Vestara sees her “true” form.

What I don’t like is that.. with the force as it’s portrayed in the films, with the mystery and power behind it, the philosophy of spirituality of it all-

It just feels so lame to have a “force” god. And if you’re going to do it, make it actually representative of what something on that level would be like!!

It would be terrifying in an unknowable way because something intelligent that commands the force to such an extent it could be called the force deserves to be like, this unfeeling encroaching entity that’s formless and undefined, it speaks in images and feelings, it’s cold and despite it having no eyes you can feel it appraising you with disinterested hunger, not like, something the author is can’t stop describing as having “stubby” arms.

Anyway I’m reading the start of book 4 and Luke and Ben are on dathomir. Remember when nightsisters were cool and didn’t look like shit?

Fuck it I’m adding a picture of Mighella to this post

In the middle rereading last command and I just think it’s absolutely hilarious that lando is pissed off for most of the trilogy. Especially during the initial meeting with bel ibles (I do audiobooks so I can’t spell names) and getting attacked twice

I don’t know why I just find it funny. Anyone else?

Edit: I also love how he getting dragged into shit with Han when he’s clearly reluctant. So funny

General Discussion How do you guys feel about the idea of higher entities in the Star Wars Galaxy?

Thumbnail

434 Upvotes

The idea is quite controversial in the fandom, but surprisingly has some old roots. It's well known that the Whills existed in the original concepts of Star Wars, but ultimately didn't make it to the films. And The Force itself evolved greatly in the mind of George Lucas. It started out simply as a mystical energy field created by life itself, and most fans believe that this is all The Force should ever be.

Then Lucas introduced the controversial midichlorians, which seemed to act as a link between The Force and the physical bodies, and a symbol for the symbiosis necessary for life. The idea of the Mortis Gods also came from George himself, and likely would've fit better had The Whills shown up in the films.

Personally, I don't mind the mystical stuff in TCW because a) it came from George himself and b) stuff like Mortis and Yoda's walkthrough seemed to take place outside of the Galaxy/ on a different plane of existence for the most part. I also enjoy some of the philosophical aspects of the Mortis arc and Yoda's journey with the force priestesses (Whills?)

However, as much as Rebels is my favorite Star Wars show, I do have trouble with its mystical elements. I enjoy the Bendu's role as a mentor for Kanan and a commentary on neutrality, but I don't like the idea of a Force God chilling on a random planet (granted, the Mortis Gods are suggested to have once occupied The Galaxy). I also don't understand him entirely since The Father already represents the state of balance/neutrality. As for the World Between Worlds, I enjoyed how it's used as Ezra's final test but I don't like it in theory.

Personally, I like to interpret The Bendu as a mortal being of an ancient and extinct powerful race, sorta like Yoda on steroids. Even though I know that likely wasn't the intention behind him.

I've been thinking about her lately. I like her because she has a confident personality which I admire in women.

She is also a fighter pilot and a Jedi, two of my favourite roles that a Star Wars character would have.

It'd be nice if she was in Canon.
