I kinda wish they would make boba fett just a guy that does a really good job at bounty hunting and is kind of a prick. and incidentally the leader of his people but no one really asks much of mandalore anyway
Why would they even make him that much of a big deal? Even that is more than he needs. The leader of his people, yet he's stuck working as a debt collector for scumbag criminals on the outer fringes of the empire? He doesn't need all that, he can just be a hardass dude with some cool gear and not a lot of money who tracks people down for a living. That's it. No more story is required than what's actually in episodes 5 and 6.
I met him in a swamp down in Dagobah
Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda
I saw the little runt sitting there on a log
I asked him his name and in a rapsy voice he said Yoda
Y-O-D-A Yoda
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda
EDIT: Motherfucker DE?AD.
Back in middle school after I had discovered Weird Al this was, like, my favorite song.

Eh, there are plenty of people in history who found themselves 'on top of the world' per se and still went back to hitting the bricks and doing the job that got them there in the first place.
It's not unreasonable that a person with a huge amount of charisma and skill would be chosen to lead his warrior people, and simply wish to go back to the warrioring that he new for all of his life.

I propose for X-Wing v. Tie Fighter to be remade with modern day graphics
Oh fuck yes. Was that the one where you started off as a trader or something? The death star mission in that was really hard because you couldn't see how close you were to the edge because each pixel of that texture was like 5 times as big as your ship.
I think one of the explanations for why the stormtroopers in the original trilogy suck so bad was because they were clones of clones of clones and at that point they're not exactly elite soldiers any more
that makes no fucking sense
why wouldn't they just keep cloning from the original genetic material they took from fett sr

Okay I have done some checking and I was mistaken
By the time of the original trilogy about a third of stromtroopers are from the old Fett stock and the rest are cloned from other sources or just regular dudes who are recruited

Ewan MacGregor was probably one of the few actors, aside from Ian McDiarmid, whose performances I enjoyed pretty much throughout the prequels, plus Ewan seemed to be having fun filming it even if nobody else was
Also, I love his story about when he was offered the part
"Do you want to do Star Wars?" they asked. I said, "TOO FUCKING RIGHT."

Ewan stayed a class act all the way just like Alec Guinness

I really enjoyed Ian McDiarmid's performance through out the films. There was never a point where I didn't believe we wasn't doing exactly what a Sith lord would be doing.

"Flipping makes everything interesting."
"Oh hey Kit Fisto is dead."
OK I don't know or care who "Kit Fisto" is and I'm pretty sure that that name was never uttered during the movie and...did that character even have a single line? But regardless, yeah, the new trilogy's choreography (Ray Park aside) seemed to be "twirling lightsabers and doing flips always looks good every time, even if it looks like you're doing it for no reason." Just bad, lazy choreography all around.
I thought it was pretty cool of him to at least try and do his own fight scenes. I enjoyed pretty much any scene with him in it, and I liked Ewan's scene right before he killed Anakin. It was cheesy acting throughout sure, but it was still fun.

Some short time browsing Wookiepedia made me realize that in Star Wars there is no "Stormtrooper #1, General #3" etc.
The generic characters in the films almost all have full names and at least a basic history. That's just bizarre.
Also Leia died in between A New Hope and Empire? By having her fucking heart turned into diamond? That is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read.

I'll give McDiarmid the same break as I would extend to Guinness. I'm not going to blame him for being too old to keep pace. Although the Obi-Wan vs Anakin duel was a little better, there was still a lot of the time when it looked like they were, I dunno, facing away from each other or just running up walls and shit for no reason instead of actually fighting. I honestly didn't enjoy it.
EDIT: To be fair, though, it was at the end of Ep 3, so by that point I was in no mood for more bullshit.

do the star wars books ever do alternate universe things the way comics do? if not... god, no wonder the world is so saturated. by now it must be at the point where if you want to write about princess leia your choice of timeframes is either 15 minutes on a certain wednesday when she was 8 years old or the second half of a nap she took at age 50.

Oh right. Then she was resurrected along with the three stormtroopers that had followed her in there. Now she had to escape them though! But that was no problem too since the spirits that decided to turn her heart (and one of the troopers!) into diamond then just on a whim sent the stormtroopers eight-thousand years in the past!
Short time later, she was forced to land on an unidentified planet while escaping from Imperial forces. Leia soon found the remains of Imperial stormtroopers that had been lying there for thousands of years and twisted her ankle. She then met four spirits—Tilotny, Horliss-Horliss, Cold Danda Sine and Splendid Ap—and three stormtroopers. The spirits, curious about the "tiny movers," decided to play with them. Tilotny turned one stormtrooper into a diamond and then transformed Leia's heart into a diamond as well, killing her. Meanwhile, Tilotny killed the remaining stormtroopers and ordered Splendid Ap to clean the mess. He resurrected Leia and the stormtroopers, but placed the latter eight thousand years in the past. After regaining consciousness, Leia somehow managed to return to Yavin base.
