<p>no, it's not at all, and that's not what i said. What i said was, they've gone with a chick, and as long as it's a cool character, it won't matter to me. You can want what ever you want, i wasn't projecting on to you at all. My comment around you and Baron was mostly tongue in cheek, but i did know you would seize on it as some sort of SJW crusade, when really it's nothing of the sort. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As an aside, i love Star Wars as much as anyone. A lot of us here seem to be in a similar age bracket, so it's pretty much been part of our whole lives. But some of the shit i have read over the past few years has shown me we don't half over-value those 3 movies. Rey and Finn are sidekicks, but Yoda and Lando are not? In one movie the newbies probably had as much screen time as Yoda and Lando put together from the originals (I'm trying very hard to forget Yoda in the prequels). Yes we love those original characters (Han is my favourite character ever, and i damn near cried when he appeared in TFA), but they had to be replaced, and the new guys did pretty well i thought. I certainly cared about them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Again, just my opinion, don't get uppity. It's a fucking movie for god's sake. </p>

<p>FFS, then give your farkng opinion without having to resort to that that kind of shit. You can't just slag off someone first and then cry about them getting pissed off later.</p> -

<p>Really? Then why make those farking comments in the first place? It's the equivalent of saying "I really don't want a fight with you, you cock sucking bum bandit" and then being shocked that the other guy takes a swing.</p> -
<p>Re Tarkin, yes the novel 'Tarkin' was written as part of the new canon, not an older novel which has all been cast aside in the Disney reboot.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you are nerdy enough these new novels and the 'Star Wars Rebels' animated show apparently drop lots of little breadcrumbs that will tie in with the new films. Some just as character backgrounds but some may be fleshing out the big story.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is why there are lots of theories around Snoke and Darth Plagueis because of the focus of some stuff fleshing out the DP story. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>A few new fan theories coming out about Rey's origins though. That she is actually a Palpatine, hence the strong force connection. Part of the 'evidence' to this theory is her fighting style. I haven't seen the comparisons but she instinctively does lightsaber moves that have only ever been seen used by Palpatine/Sidious </p>
<p> </p>
<p>EP VII obviously hasn't created much depth to characters as there is too much that is still to come. I think you will find that Rey (and possibly even Ren) are far more complex than could be shown in the first movie.</p>
