    Actually if you watch and pay attention they let them get away so they could track the millennium falcon back to the rebel base.

    The Ewoks actually murdered then ate them, hence why you see parts of armor and what not on spit barbecues.

    They were barbecuing the good guys until C3PO flew in the air with Luke's force powers.

    Also, Obi-Wan, a fricking general, speaks very highly of the marksmanship of Imperial Stormtroopers.


    0:25

    Literally:
    "Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise"

    So did Luke and his party. They got a drop on one of the most powerful Jedi ever who wasn't alone.

    Besides, they were supposed to be Wookies but because these sold so well

    Lucas ended up with maximizing the marketable audience and revenue expectations by coming up with these fuckers:

    To take the place of these awesome creatures:

    As a consequence Episode 6 final half makes absolutely no sense to begin with.

    Luke was supposed to duel with the lead Wookie after which he is adopted with honorary title of "son" of the chief or so and then they start helping him or something along those lines.

    Speaking of Wookies:

    in-laws got me one of those masks for xmas - my 2 yr old daughter swings back and forth on reactions from hilarious to terrified

    BUT a couple days ago i was getting her ready for bed, letting her pick between her pink hairbrush and her black one (giving her small choices seems to avoid 99% of toddlermeltdowns). as she contemplated she suddenly laughed to herself, said "star wars" under her breath, and then proceeded to bash the two brushes together going "BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ"

    i was pretty stoked

    Just watched rogue one it was... ok. I cired when I saw Leia at the end. I wasn't expecting to cry, I figured it was cause Fisher died, but it might have been because the movie "closed the loop"

    There is one thing I'm extremely mad about though. I dont know if it's been talked about in these 20 pages, and I'm sorry if it has, I haven't read through them yet. but... there were NO BOTHAN SPIES!!!! RAGE RAGE. I so want to quit starwars because of it FUCK DISNEY.

    Yea, some of the dialogue in ANH is now "weird", especially the Bothan part. I was actually initially waiting for them to somehow come up with Bothan reference until I just forgot about it until after the movie.

    Hence why I said earlier that there is no single canon for SW anymore but alternate canon lines from which to pick unless you want to retcon stuff like "well, they're obviously not lasers but plasma slug throwers", "well, maybe parsecs referred to how much space is compressed, reducing the length of the journey via better warp effect" and now the latest "maybe Bothan Spies was used to hide the identities of the task force who all died".

    That said, there was a large component of elite Rebel infiltrators in the task force. Maybe they were collectively known as Bothan spies and she asserts that Jyn is merely an addition to the larger ground component or so.

    Looking at the Battle of Scarif, a large number of the very best infiltrators and special operatives went along with it and all died. Ouch. You've got to still refer to them somehow. With none of this of course being even as much as a distant wet dream by the time the term Bothan Spies was come up with.

    It's kind of difficult to make stories in a non-chronological order.

    there was that one ship, as they were ordered to jump out... that almost made it until Vader's ship showed up, it kinda smashed the jumping ship... maybe it had Bothan's on it?

    the bothan spies were in RotJ. they retrieved the information regarding the Death Star II.

    and you call yourselves Star Wars fans.

    But why would an 8-foot-tall Wookiee want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense.

    I was trying to look for a safe link for the correct term for love of midgets, but alas my google foo betrayed me.

    Now I have to scrub midget porn from my eyeballs.

    That's not true. We judge often and harshly. Just not consistently
