Yup, still designed to sell toys. George Lucas was brilliant in this regard.Uh huh.
Well just so happens a lot of good stuff comes from that "franchise to sell toys."
I guess it just means I hate the extended canon which I haven't read or delved into. He was chopped in half. What were they thinking.
Probably the game being played from Darth Vader's viewpoint and him hunting down Jedi/keeping tabs on his Inquistors.
I also just remembered that Qui Gon didn't die by vanishing and his body was burned, so I realize every movie has subsequently "broken the implied rules" before.
Yeah, he was brought back in Clone Wars, but he was in a really bad way after Obi Wan kicked his ass. Dude had a goddamn spider mech replacing his entire lower body before his kin fixed him up. Nobody's really complaining, though, apparently Clone Wars actually gave him a fuckton of depth that simply didn't exist in his debut.
I know this so I guess to some point I'm being facetous but from a... moral POV for lack of a better term it's really stupid. There's a reason people say stuff like "corporate hacks"
Oh I'm not debating why he wants to do it. I'm just debating the "magic" of the force. When you have magic in stories you need to show their limitations and I just didn't buy this scene, because Luke is PLANETS away when he does it.
Galaxy's Edge is one of the most immersive theme park destinations and is a monumental achievement in the theme park industry. Besides it being canon is more a push of the Imagineers than Lucasfilm. Disney is still trying to one up Universal ever since they built Harry Potter.
Apparently that power is ridiculous and breaks the power scaling or something.
Well, yeah that depends on what exactly we think they want to protect the SW brand from. The results aren't consistent (SW though never was to begin with) and we're left with a mixed bag. Personally I still like their approach more than anything we got during the prequel/EU era, since that was mostly questionable content, imo.
You know the moar you guys piss and moan about the everything being canon approach the happier I am they do it this way. Especially if your whining about something so innocuous. Yes Galaxy's Edge is "canon" in that it and it's attractions are said to have a variation in the Star Wars universe. Now please inform me of this particular information has negatively effected you besides the fact that it exists and that's bad for some reason?
I enjoy the aspect of everything being canon.
You mean like the multiple well received shows, books, games, comics, and yes, movies, that they've already made?
I apologize for my comment. It wasn't directed at you or anyone specifically & was just me saying I that I personally think it's dumb that everything needs to be canon. The hardcore comment was targeted only at the "fans" who harass people over what they think Star Wars should be.
It's super important to preserve their integrity and mystique in Star Wars canon. Just like the prequel trilogy did.
That's fair. I hate people who harass anyone over something. I just find some of the reactions to Star Wars lately to be unnecessarily extreme at times. Galaxy's Edge just seems like harmless fun to me. And while it made developments difficult it still released to critical and financial acclaim.
Yeah. Respawn is a multi team studio. They hired Stig years ago to build and lead a seperate team within Respawn.Am I missing something?

A lot of the new canon is pretty stupid and awful though.
For all the problems I have with the new movies (and games, until this year), the brand is doing fine with their animated shows, comics, the Mandalorian, and Battlefront 2's turn-around and Fallen Order prove that there is still good stuff outside of the ST's hiccups.
I doubt they are actually mad at Galaxy's Edge being canon.
I feel like thats one benefit Marvel naturally had over Star Wars. Star Wars wants the mythology of something like Marvel but it can't commit to the things that allow the Marvel multiverse to function so well as a vehicle to tell stories.A lot of the new canon is pretty stupid and awful though.
I'm still not sure if I hate or hate-love Vader's stalker.
I can't think of ANY universe I've ever enjoyed where sticking to one default canon has ever benefited a property in the long-run. There are a lot of reasons why that is.

That doesn't mean I don't hate the "everything must be canon" approach. It's insanely restrictive and harshly limits the world of Star Wars. There's a reason you don't see the "everything must be canon" approach for something like Marvel outside of their films, even if the Disney+ shows tie-in. The cartoons, comics, shows, movies, and books are their own thing, often in their own universes, because boxing their characters into one specific "canon" very quickly becomes a mess. Comics learned long ago that mistakes happen, retcons and reboots are necessary, and alternate universe tales and "non-canon" material is often just as good or better than the mainline stuff.
I love you guys using this as an excuse to shit on the Disney acquisition like stuff like the Mandalorion or Rebels didn't happen or that Fallen Order didn't release to critical and commercial acclaim.
But the sanctity of Star Wars games must be preserved!
We take the good with the bad. In 8 years we got a single good offline Star Wars game, and years were spent making Battlefront 2 the opposite of a literal international screw-up. Rebels, Clone Wars, and Mandalorian all share one big positive ingredient - Dave Filoni - and Disney was smart to keep him on-board.

And that wouldn't happen if it wasn't all canon?
And through all that I don't see how the 'everything is canon' policy being removed will fix it.
See above.
And if I don't think the new material sucks? If I like the aspect of everything being canon?
