Rian Johnson to direct new Star Wars Trilogy

[thehunter116]

Are the ewok spinoffs still canon?

I’m still waiting for the broader story on the Ewoks to emerge. A sapiophagic race, which appears stuck in pre-industrial tribal culture, that is actually able to operate technological equipment? There’s an interesting story behind that, no doubt.

And whose rocks and sticks somehow hurt the most powerful military in the galaxy.

What the hell good was stormtrooper armor anyway

Really, the problem was never ewoks themselves, but the fact that Stormtroopers were further dumbed down to Laurel and Hardy levels in favor of them. There's being useless and then there's Return of the Jedi.

Which is why I love the new trilogy so much.

The bad guys are actually competent.

Man, I liked TFA too but this is some bullshit. Kylo got his ass handed to him because he's supposed to be a bitch, the general got his entire base wrecked as soon as Leia and Co. found it, and Phasma was literally thrown in the trash

Sure, the Death Star was taken down in A New Hope. But Darth Vader was an intimidating motherfucker up until the very final fight in the trilogy. What you said is completely false.

The Stormtroopers in the original were good for about 5 mins and then became jobber masters real quick. Vader didn't become anything but generic villain until Empire and other then blowing up Alderaan the Empire never really gets to "shine" except for 10 mins in the intro of New Hope and 20 mins in the opening of Empire. For the rest of the trilogy theyre a joke that hilariously loses to space monkeys with sticks.]

On the new side, Kyle is actually threatening and kills several characters as well as a key one; and intimidates the main hero directly several times. He actually feels like a character and has flaws (being overconfident is one of them). The bad guys almost won, actually blew up what they wanted to and were only stopped by last second intervention on the ground and the best pilot in the galaxy.

Phasma got done dirty no argument there. And while we still have to see two more movies to make a good comparison the villians in the new trilogy are far more threatening and have actual characters at the start then New Hope's empire did. Blowing up the whole government of your enemy and almost beating their last resistance is a lot more competent then almost blowing up one base. However Rebels is fleshing out the Empire and actually showing them to be competent and a threat; which is why I like Rogue One. The Empire actually looks competent.

Alderaan never forget
