Can I just say that I love that Wookieepedia still persists. Still the best metatextual joke website name on the interwebs.
Any time someone tries to quote an AI program about Star Wars I'm like why would you do that when there is a BEAUTIFULLY curated obsessive fan's DREAM with the PERFECT NAME right there with a level of attribution and research that would make a data scientist weep with joy?I appreciate that it's so well attended too.
Ah, okay. Well, technically CR is canon...until Filoni decides to ignore it completely.According to the Wookiepedia, his only mention was in the Crimson Reign comic series.
Those are the things I don't like about it - and I enjoy the film.Yeah, it doesn't fix what I didn't like about the sequel trilogies, but I'm a sucker for a tragic hero and making it clear that Han has time and time again tried to be a hero and had everyone he loved twist the knife (even Leia not being with him at the end, though not cruel, is tragic) makes his journey feel more complete.
Also thought the cast was great. Loved Harrelson's bastard of a character. Enjoyed the idea of a single droid being like "is this goddamned slavery????" Not my favorite film but it did solid work. (Also I know Alden caught so much shit for his performance but with the increase in deepfaking rubbery illusions onto people to drag actors back to their youth, I actually appreciate a strong recast more now than I did then.)
Like I said, it was just a rumor. Take anything you read from fan sites with a grain of salt. I also think it would be odd for them to bring him in without an introduction, most people wouldn't know who he is. Probably someone heard something about Sam being in Ahsoka and just went straight fan fiction with it. If he was on set, he could've been there for a bunch of different reasons. He is also Maul after all (hey that rhymed). And I never saw any proof he was on set. Like a rumor from a rumor lol. The Baylen thing makes way more sense.It seems to me they are telegraphing pretty hard that Anakin is going to be the new Father, Balon the Son, and Ashoka the Daughter. It would be pretty weird to bring Galen in to fill that role without having previously established him in canon.
In terms of Black Series, even as someone who liked Solo, that Q'ira is literally the only figure I want from the film we never got. I actually think they did, in one of those rare times, the exact right amount of toy tie-ins for Solo. (Skeleton Crew also pretty much accomplished this. One wave and done, boom.)The only thread of this Star Wars Story I want to revisit is Q'ira. And I want TBS to do her main outfit and Alden's prologue outfit - hate that the figures they made mismatch. Then we've got everything we need from this entry.
I was doing summer work for a law firm representing Lucasfilm in 1999, and my specific job was hanging out “undercover” in Star Wars chat rooms to ferret out folks who were pirating The Phantom Menace. I got to watch all these creeps do the “countdown to Natalie Portman turning 18”Full Nude Chewie is going to be my next band name.
