<p>Star Wars provides the only cool shit on there, the rest is for geeks :fishing:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've seen a few vids on Youtube speculating what is going to happen in terms of old characters and the consensus seems to be that the Emperor will have a smallish part ie Snoke from the last flick and D Vader will have a major role. I for one can picture him slicing up that Asian Samurai looking guy after taunting him about his primitive weapon being no match for the dark side of the force. So it might well give us a "duel" of sorts although I hope they don't make the big fella do lots of ridiculous flips and the like and keep his movements economical so there is at least some continuity towards 'A New Hope" which is set months or mere weeks later depending which geeks you believe. </p> -

<p>The script spoiler rumours at the moment have DV undergoing some limb replacements during Rouge One which will account for his stilted movements during New Hope's lightsaber fight with Obi Wan.</p> -

<p>The real burn would have been that you "find my lack of geekdom disturbing" but anyway......</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm fairly certain I wookiepedia'd DV and read that he had to change his fighting style to account for his new found lack of mobility after what happened vs Obi Wan the first time but his strength and force abilities were still more than enough to make mincemeat out of anyone. He did seem more mobile in ESB and ROTJ in his fights with Luke so there may be some truth in what you say I will admit......General Grievous was mainly metal and he was heaps more mobile.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>DV did get fucked up in "the force unleashed" PlayStation game which is apparently "Canon" ( meaning you play him in the game and he beats DV in a duel and it ties in with the rest of the Star Wars universe ). A movie about that guys antics would be beyond awesome. It doesn't make sense though cos the Emperor clearly tries to make the main guy his apprentice, fails, and then settles for Vader and then goes through the exact same shit years later with Luke. I would have thought DV would have said fuck this and chucked him down the shaft years before......</p>
<p> </p>
<p>( puts on geekiest geek hat he can find )</p>
<p> </p>
<p>more on him can be read here.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Other rumours are that the Emperor needs to use bacta tanks to replenish his body which is continually weakened by his very power he wields and partially accounts for his disfigured appearance. For one who was apparently the most powerful Sith in the galaxy he did perish without much of a fight, I mean surely he could have used the force to break his fall, re emerge and fuck up a hurt and damaged Vader ?</p> -
See that was the problem with the prequels. In the original series the Jedi (the few we saw) could do really cool shit but nothing ludicrous. Then APM comes out and we get light saber duels a million times better than anything seen in 4-6. Continuity really wasn't Lucas' strong point.

Sure, but I don't think the lightsaber duels themselves relied on massive amounts of CGI. -

<p>Some of them did, particularly the ones involving Yoda and death defying flips.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It does make the first duel ever seen on screen between Vader and Obi Wan seem extremely lame in comparison, their feet may as well have been encased in cement.</p>
