Re: Disney SW-EU, the old EU with Mickey Ears.

I still think that having a Vader wannabe as the villain in The Force Awakens was actually a bold and valid artistic decision. Darth Vader is widely agreed to have been one of the best villains of modern art history, at least within the SF&F genre. He's powerful, he's scary, his motivations are...

Re: Star Wars: Rebels

The thing is that Saxon would have gotten away with it if he didn't decide to be uppity right then and there. He could have had the Jedi, the Darksaber and everything if he decided to just go for Sabine later. EDIT: To be honest, I'm still unclear how the Darksaber is going to help here. I mean, su...

Most of the so called performance uglies like the tri-wing and chir'Dak were less cobbled together but designed from the ground up

Re: Star Wars: Rebels

The potential of the Rebels leaving their base is diminished by the fact that if it weren't for Fulcrum... they would not have known the droid was Imperial and it would've either radioed for reinforcements, went amok and kill everyone and explode, or a combination of both? Seriously it would've bee...

Re: Was Dumbledore utterly incompetent?

It would also be good if they could be disabled. Their ability to suck out souls taken away, their suckers plugged or just severely limit their mobility. Maybe not made harmless, but severely impair their ability to hurt random muggles or unprepared wizards. Has anyone ever tried gluing their mouth...

It exploded immediately, such that they couldn't tell which of the many droids that had returned had done it afterward. (Also, apparently the droid carried a proton bomb of sufficient power to blow all the way through a Star Destroyer, from the hangar bay to straight out the dorsal armor, or at lea...

Re: How does Rogue One efect the vs debate

The torpedo performance was embarrassing. By all rights, they should have been able to glass the base and everything for a few miles around with that one hit, going off of the old numbers. Unless we presume they were using weaker munitions to prevent collateral damage, which I suppose is possible. ...

Blunder 1: there really wasn't any way around leaving Harry with the Dursleys as there was ancient magic around that even Voldermort admitted he couldn't get around.

Except most of the students who turned on Harry didn't know him personally, only by reputation. Up until book 5 or so he basically only has Ron and Hermione as close friends, with Neville, Ginny and Fred/George on the fringes as friends but not close ones. I was referring to Mrs Wesley beleving the...
