Why did Lucas replace Aurra Sing with Zam Wessel?

Why did Luke use a rock to push the button to close the door on the Ranchor in RotJ instead of using the force to push it?

Who's in Gillard's tier 5 and 4

Why is it Shaak Ti in 4

Interesting question. This is something of an ongoing conspiracy involving Mr. Lucas and the Star Wars cosplay community. They saw greater potential for busty women wearing leather pants in Aurra Sing, so they decided to prolong her existence in the series (in TCW and in her AOTC cameo) while using Zam Wessel as the throwaway character, and also making her ugly to make sure the attention was placed on Aurra Sing for marketing purposes.

I recently suggested the following changes to Nick, who immediately implemented them in private:

Shaak Ti moved to Tier 6 from Tier 7 due to her inconsistency as a duelist

Tiers 5 and 4 are entirely populated by the Rebels cast, who move up or down depending on whether they are angry, minus Ahsoka who is Tier 8 or 9 depending on how angry she is.

At this point, he had been extensively training his physique and wanted to put these physical "gains" to the test by throwing heavy objects at things. This is also the primary factor in his defeat of Darth Vader, so this scene was actually meant to be foreshadowing of the fight on the Death Star.

General Grievous does not defecate. He is sustained by battery power.

Are you the reincarnation of SuperShadow?

Yeah, I wasn't a fan of Ahsoka's design either.

Christ who cares. It's easier to jump and flip around in an outfit that isn't baggy, stop bitching about clothes you cuck.

Hell, animating Sidious fighting must have been a real-*****

^ Also probably why the Jedi Council didn't wear cloaks. Or why cloaks weren't that common anyways.

My friend, are you unable to read other posts in the thread?

Lord Lucien is extremely old and forgetful. He also is a Kevin spacey fan so I wouldn't trust him.

Big Gerald
Disgusting. Though I had long suspected this forum is populated by the senile and sympathizers of sexual assault.

Why is it that star wars antagonists continuously get killed off in the same movie that they do something awesome in?

JKBart
To demonstrate the brutality of the universe and the fact that "there's always a bigger fish".

Oh! LMAO. That's why Lucien changed his avatar. xD

Because the TV shows that Lucas watched as a kid had a new villain every week.

Lucas wanted the same idea with the prequels, hence Maul, Dooku, and Grievous.

It's also present in the originals, albeit a lesser degree, with Tarkin and Boba.

Yep. And he was right all along about Episodes 7-9 being made. The guy knew his shit.

They weren't wasted though? They got plenty of material after their movie appearances. Unless you mean by just movies.

Nick Gillard gives massive praise to Sidious, including naming him anbidextrous, a master of all types of weapons and being a 9 as a duelist.

So let's get this settled right now. Who's the better duelist, Sidious or Yoda?

Sidious, most likely. Yoda does not have comparable praise from Nicholas, which is the most important thing in determining the strength of a character.

Okay, here's another question:

In TPH novelisation, Qui-Gon Jinn almost kills Maul. He "stymies" the Sith and Maul was able to jump away milliseconds before he got cut down. After that, Jinn exhausted all of his strength.

So, who would win in a straight one v one on flat ground? Jinn or Maul? And would it be close?
