<p>I'm wary of some of those EU books. I heard of one where apparently the Wampa ( big white snow monster ) that Luke disarmed in ESB met him again years later on Hoth and tried to take revenge. I seriously hope that's not "canon" cos that story sounds fucken ridiculous.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>EDIT, Wookiepedia confirms the truth of this.....</p>

<p>I read quite a few of the novels and yes, there were some absolute shite stories in among them. There were also some really good ones.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I mentioned the General Thrawn stuff. That particular trilogy stands out as good. After a while the novels drifted in to being about Han and Leia's kids and Luke's partner.</p>
<p>Then they went into the NJO (New Jedi Order) series which was quite well planned out to start and threw a really fresh slant on stuff by killing off Chewie in the first book. This sends Han off the rails and has a similar effect to the Kylo Ren stuff.</p> -

<p>One that I liked was a comic I saw on youtube in which DV meets Luke for the first time ( not knowing that he blew up the death star and is also his son ) and schools him in a brief lightsabre duel before Luke gets saved by an AT ATs foot nearly killing them both that Han stole and is driving. ( Yes you read all this correctly )</p> -
<p>Do not click this link unless you want to see a leaked book of character illustrations and explanations from Rogue One.(but there is also cool stuff and pics of DV)</p>

<p>I'm hoping he deals to a few Storm Troopers, gets an air of confidence......and is then royally fucked over by DV in a fight. There's a very good chance this will occur.</p> -

<p>I perused it thoroughly with my sons and they LOVED it, they missed some dialogue in the trash compacters ( Nerd alert ) </p> -
<p>Bit of a slow burner after all the hype last year, this one feels like it will sneak up on us a bit. It has definitely reminded me how much I want to see the "classic" look appear back on screen though, apparently there will be an explanation of why DV was rather slow and laboured in his fight with Obi Wan ( as opposed to poor choreography in a film they had no idea would become what it did.....)</p>

<p>RIP Kenny "R2D2" Baker. Shit photos of him and Peter "Chewie" Mayhew look funny ( the "normal" sized guy in this pic is the body of Darth Vader who was himself a massive unit )</p>

<p>Not sure why, even in the 70s, a guy was needed inside the suit to operate it though ? surely some sort of remote control could have done the trick ? it's not like R2 actually physically did much ( apart from forget he used to be able to fly )</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still a great character though especially for something that just bleeps and chirps.....</p> -
Did British studios have a colony of dwarves on their payroll during that time? They were featured in alot of films around that time. Seems they lost interest in them after Willow.<br><br>
Just on the latest trailer showing the back of DVs head, I have to reiterate my reservations about that Samurai dude. He sucks balls. -

<p>As I said, I'm hoping he thinks he's pretty tough.....and then gets fucked over royally by everyones favourite sith lord.</p> -
@Crazy-Horse Why not? I was watching Edge of Tomorrow last night and it struck me just how good an actor he is. Certainly better than most actors in Star Wars...Just realised I responded to a post from two years ago thanks to the new forum software taking me to the first page...
