If DE was the only comic, sure (although the Chosen One prophecy is still destroyed). Then they made Dark Empire II and Empire's End, which ruined it.

EE was crap, I admit, but I didn't mind DE II. Still better than the ST, though thumb up

Because how cool sids looks dying should supersede the significance of anakin's redemption.

Not that its remotely the same as what the st did given that
a. DE was made before the prequel trilogy

b. De didn't destroy luke's order or the new republic

And anyway the eu leadership had changed from that era long before disney came into power.

So ant's just deflecting here

Anakin's redemption was never about killing Sheev but rather saving Luke. And it predates the PT so one can't fault it for undermining the Chosen One prophecy. The bigger problem with DE is Luke turning to the dark side.

1. Thats's a pretty great interpretation actually
2. Yup
3. Well Luke does come back. And thats still not close to what tfa did(and tfa does not predate the ot, pt, or the saga)

I'm with ares in that I'm Kinda afraid what they're going to do with Luke. Which I never thought would be an issue prior to this teaser.

That actually makes sense. It's the same with comic book films.

How? Luke tried to create a new Jedi Order and it failed, and this changed his perspective. It's not as if the character is not allowed to have growth. erm

Yeah this movie's going to be shit. I honestly don't give a shit about the ST anymore. Just hoping for some good spinoff movies in the Clone Wars and Empire era.

Wow people are really triggered.

What's sad is that unlike TFA it's in a position to break the mold. Yet folks whine anyway. erm

Really not triggered. I was the first person to call TFA what it was "garbage." This movie seems like it'll be garbage to.

I'll be very happy if it's NOT garbage. But why hold expectations that will probably disappoint you?

Nah. As long as they make a few books with Thrawn level quality I'm happy.

Uhuh, only a mad bro would decide the movie is shit having only seen a teaser.

The butthurt flowing through you being guaranteed to ruin your viewing experience and you nitpick for flaws to justify your anger. Pitiable. sad

Characters can certainly grow. The problem is when it's all off screen and you turn the hero into a mopey depressive failure.

The directors aren't in a position to cover 30 years of Luke's growth, as they weren't for Han & Leia. Nor is it necessary to understand the character's motivations. But it would fundamentally make no sense for them to be in the same place now as they where three decades ago.

And the hero as it turns out, doesn't always win, and can indeed experience a crisis of faith. That's called realism. thumb up

And yet the premise of tfa makes it so that the characters were in the exact same place they were 30 years ago

That's fine. But then they shouldn't undermine the characters like they seem to be doing with Luke or completely undo all character growth as they did with Han.

Also these are movies not the real world. Having the hero utterly fail is completely unfulfilling and it hurts the previous films.
