Nevermind, found it:
THAT is how Luke needs to be portrayed in future stories: a bonafide Jedi Master/Force god. I know a lot of people hated his portrayal in TLJ(myself included), but there are still a few decades worth of storytelling potential after RotJ for them to explore Luke's character more. Hopefully they use that opportunity to wank the bejesus out of him, like they did in Legends. 🙂

I knew I would hate TLJ right from the Poe and Hux scene. I let a large groan after the “joke”
Every now and then, I remember why I love you, Mungi.
Felt the exact same thing.
And how did you feel about Luke milking the alien titties? Probably the biggest wtf moment in the history of Star Wars.

They can mitigate the damage, yes.
But I will never forgive Rian Johson for TLJ.
Speaking of him... any news on the future trilogy/trilogies?

I've seen the cutscenes from that level.
Indeed he was a beast 👆 Some nice applications of forcefields, too.
I legit threw my hands up in the air in defeat. I remember I told the girlfriend at the time I was so hyped for TLJ and now it’s over?...I felt nothing. Force Awakens had its fault, but I was still excited to see what would happen next.
TLJ killed any excitement I had and that’s the worse thing a movie can do

What I'm looking forward to the most right now is the upcoming High Republic material. They're getting back to the roots of the Jedi Order and showing us what they were always meant to be. Can't wait for it to launch.

Same here, same here.
Rian "Ruin" Johnson should never be allowed anywhere near Star Wars ever again.

So I've heard. I can't believe they really want him to do even more damage.

Project Luminous, yes?
Yep, it's set 200 years before the PT, in the "golden age" of the Jedi/Republic.
Best part about it being set in this era is that it will feature brand new and original characters(thank f*cking god):

The only known characters who *might* make an appearance at some point are Yoda, Yaddle, and Maz, as they were still alive back then. Outside of them, it's basically world-building that era from ground zero. Looking forward to it. 👆

Exactly.In Legends continuity, Vader lost power/potential after RotS.
In canon, however, his power only increased after RotS(in fact, he became more powerful than ever), and his injuries never gimped his potential.
There was a lot of enjoyable material in Legends, but it also had a LOT of complete failures and utter garbage fires.
Like Stilt said, the large majority of Disney content(from comics, to novels, to TV shows) is actually quite good... But it has also cranked out quite a bit of trash, obviously.
Because Palpatine was hoarding as much knowledge as possible for himself, whilst only giving Vader a small trickle of said knowledge/teachings -- just enough to keep him subservient and wanting more.
And given Palpatine's own ungodly potential, that would explain why he was always a notch above Vader.
it's just legends very much enrich star wars mythos, and gave it such deep, broad and complex history.
the old republic era alone...
Originally posted by MrMindSure, but that's not really the best comparison. Legends material was being published for over 30 years, whereas Disney canon has only existed for 6 years. So of course Legends is going to have a much broader history to pull from.

I do think Disney has still done more good that bad for the franchise as a whole at this point, though. Outside of the ST films, Resistance, and Doctor Aphra(😘), most of the material has been pretty good on average.
