I like that they were hyped as army-busting hyper-weapons(even after the Ewok shenanigans on Endor), but their legs are still just a massive achilles heel.

It's a novel, so I can't really post scans.

Armt-busting hyper-weapons that failed to even kill a nameless fodder villager in the episode as far as I can tell.

The AT-ST was a bad joke.

Oh, I heard there is a paragraph where a guy finds a mask which belonged to a temple guard and can relive his/her past memories during order 66, is it true? (sorry for the OT)

quote:

Karr gently, lightly touched the Temple Guard helmet. Lightning flashed behind his eyes. A sea of white. No. A wall of white. Moving toward him.

Not a wall. Men. Troopers. Clone troopers marching in formation, but divided in the middle by something black. The men moved with purpose. With precision. More like a ceremonial procession than a battle. A parade, maybe? Or an exercise? Karr could only make out their movement. The colors were sharp and then dull. Karr focused hard, concentrating for all he was worth, and left two fingers on the mask--daring it to give him more and silently promising that he could take it.

The guard wearing the mask saw them approach. But there was no feeling of danger. There was only familiarity. Karr squinted to see more, but he couldn't. But the guard saw who led the troopers. The figure in black. The driving force. Somehow Karr knew that, knew also that the guard was confused. Under his breath, behind the mask and for only himself to hear--except Karr could hear it, too--the guard said, "Skywalker?"

Skywalker ignited his lightsaber and cut the Temple Guard down. Karr could hardly believe it, and he didn't understand it; he wanted to look away, but there wasn't time, not even in a vision. Skywalker, if that was him, moved too swiftly, his violence as baffling and brisk as a magic trick. Blasters fired. Lightsabers swished. Bodies fell. People screamed. It was so hard to focus on any given detail, any given moment. The whole scene was a jerky, pale watercolor blur.

There's also a 'meta', in-universe implication at the end of the novel that Karr is who wrote the Star Wars story itself... But that's neither here nor there.

What's the thoughts of an [SPOILER - highlight to read]: AT-ST appearing in the ep?

It's just inconsistency, tbh.

TFA implied that there hadn't been an "awakening" in the force for a LONG time -- almost like 'new' force-sensitives were borderline non-existent by that point. So when one finally surfaced(ie. Rey), they immediately took notice.

But fast-forward to current canon, like the Force Collector novel I mentioned above(which is set shortly before TFA), and we know that is definitely not the case. There are still force-users popping up all over the galaxy(which honestly makes sense... I mean, why would that just stop?)

The novel's protagonist is one of those, for example. He used the force a number of times throughout the story.
