._. Well that was completely pointless. Reading that crap I mean...anyway. You could have summed it up with: Sucks for you, the EU is gone, get it over it. Rey isn't a mary sue! Except she totally is Except I didn't say any of that. But lol it's the internet, who cares when there's snarky replies to be made? lol

I'd say separating the two as different threads isn't a bad idea, tho. I'd rather not constantly have to defend my love of Star Wars to other Star Wars fans just because I don't hate the new movie. TBH I was actually rather interested in the EU before, and was sad to hear that Disney was going to discontinue it when the announcement came down. That's why I started reading the Thrawn trilogy in the first place. But it's been the reaction of gatekeeping EU fans that has left a bad taste in my mouth over the whole thing, and I've heard similar sentiments from other SW fans before. I've never understood why one group has to sh*t on the other for their preferences, especially since I've never seen it happen in the reverse-- never seen a non-EU fan shit on EU fans for liking the EU. But what little exposure I've had to EU fans has basically convinced me that even if I continue reading the EU, I don't really see the point in talking about it or endorsing it to other SW fans when it seems to be nothing but negative towards new EU fans that also like the new movie. So. Not my clubhouse, that's fine. I'm fine with the one I got, new and old trio are all pretty cool and I can "drool" over all 6 of them

That's bullshit.
Even in this thread there has been echoes of it. Fans of the cinematic version claiming that the EU is garbage.
._. So sure you might have not seen it, if you didn't want to. But both camps do it.

I agree with Remki re:last 2 pages. Also masterwarderz why are you being ill-mannered? You sound like a linux kernel developer.
Regarding Finn, none of the new characters are wastes of space in episode VII. The old ones are. The movie would have been better without 90% of the nostalgia. Which is a reason to be optimistic about episode VIII.

If you like or dislike episode VII or like or dislike the EU thats absolutely fine But we need to treat everyones opinion with respect because theyre JUST as valid as yours this is a star wars discussion thread NOT just another excuse to treat peoples opinions like trash because they happen to be different... that isnt a discussion thats acting like a jerk So getting away from the EU/movie discussion lets talk about lightsabers... who do you think has the coolest???

My favorite lightsaber is probably Luke's from Return of the Jedi.
Which saber fight is your favorite from the movies?
I gotta go with Luke and Vader in Jedi.

Being nice to people costs nothing and takes no more effort than being a jerk and... you can actually learn things by listening to other people... you know??? I like Darth Mauls and Kylo Rens lightsabers theyre cool Hmmmm Luke and Vader was good I also like their fight in Empire Strikes Back maybe a little more than the one in rotj ... Yoda vs Palpatine was also fun And Anakin vs Obi Wan I also really liked Obi Wan and Qui Gon vs Darth Maul the best part of episode I in my opinion

Outside the movies... Starkiller vs Luke on Hoth in the Force Unleashed dlc was hilarious... I threw an x wing at Luke... and he kept using force lightning (at this point hes kinda been corrupted to the dark side) but I just kept deflecting it back at him... and I picked him up with the force and slammed him into the ground a few times Im a good Sith assassin apparently Also notable mentions for hilarity value in/out of the movies Finn vs the stormtrooper in episode VII... Starkiller vs Obi Wan (and then Obi Wans ghost) in the Force Unleashed... he gets thrown into the engine of the Millennium Falcon and disintegrated but you then fight his ghost ... canon is lovely

The best lightsaber is obviously Mace Windu's lightsaber! It looks badass, has a purple blade and it's probably called A bad motherfucker. It doesn't get any more doper than that!

Well, the obvious trolling on the hugely popular Episode 7 is obvious and useless. You're not going to change anyone's mind who likes or loves it. Just grow up and accept people have different tastes and opinions. Simple as that. We all dig Star Wars for different reasons. May as well find them and get along. The EU, for instance. I never did get into it. Mainly because I knew GL didn't consider it canon and said it wasn't going to be any part of his movie franchise. I wasn't interested in glorified fan fiction. It's cool other people like it, I have no problem with that. Most of us can agree on the original films, they were what started it all. I saw it in the theater at 7 and there wasn't anything like it in the moviesphere at the time. That's one of the reasons why it was so huge. That's why it blew me away. No book was going to capture that. No cartoon either. For me, Star Wars will always be a cinematic experience. Period. We can all get along, however, if we ignore the obvious troll bait and focus on what we all do like. Like Han Shooting First Dammit. May the Force be with all us Star Wars nerds.

If that's the actual lightsaber from the films (I doubt it, I think Samuel L Jackson actually kept it) then legend has it BMF is actually engraved somewhere on the hilt Mainly because I knew GL didn't consider it canon and said it wasn't going to be any part of his movie franchise. Continuing to post misinformation like this isn't going to help keep the peace. Warderz is being his usual abrasive self but he is right about one thing- go anywhere on the internet that's not a dedicated Star Wars/EU forum and say you like the EU and watch what happens. There were people that hated the EU before Disney, whether they were purists or for other reasons, and Disney's nuking has done nothing but empower them. By contrast it feels like more of an uphill battle to criticize TFA in public, not so much because you'll get flamed but because there's legions of casuals and fans alike still gushing about it. It's getting better, as the hype dies down, but the reality is still evident. That being said, I think we can keep civil and discuss both in peace here. So let's all calm our tits, neither rustling jimmies nor allowing jimmies to be rustled and just meditate on the Force. This is CrutchCricket the user and Star Wars fan talking. Please don't make me say it as CrutchCricket the mod. Carry on

For total cool factor without being practical about it, then I'm going to have to go with Ventress and her double ended lightsaber. Given Rey's abilities with a staff I can see her going down that route when she has to make hers. For fun lightsaber battles its hard... they are all pretty awesome. Vader vs Obi in a New Hope (mostly due to real world limits than active acting choice I think) ends up playing extremely well. Two old guys well past their prime, one basically a cripple and the other years out of practice so its works that they are just standing there smack talking mostly. Ani vs Obi on Mustafar - much more acrobatic, but again suits who they are, two warriors with years of war experience at their peak. Also the emotions surrounding it help. It contrasts well with the New Hope fight. Rey vs Ren - again plays well into who they are as people. It's much more brutal and straight forward. Rey has no hope in hell of beating Ren if he was healthy, but an injured unstable Ren who isn't actually trying to kill her? As with Mustafar, I like this one more because of how it plays into the story than just 'ohh back flip awesome'

Just as far as cool factor goes? I suppose that's a easy enough answer to give. Exar Kun and his ancient Sith Saberstaff

Though season 1 and 2 did have some good episodes, especially ones that focused on The Clone Troopers. The Lawless from Season 5 will forever be my favorite episode from that show and I bet you know which one I am talking about, oh so vaguely so as not to spoil anyone. One of the best lightsaber duels of all time You should watch Rebels if you haven't, the Season 2 finale of that is awesome (other than for the helicopter sabers, that is stupid):
