Everything Star Wars!!! Even the new Disney Bantha food. That's not Star Wars, but oh well*

They definitely did it on purpose, to remarkably good effect. 

The new movie was shit which is glad I didn't pay anything to watch, I wouldn't spend money it.

The best Star Wars is now uncannonized...

Anything Drew Karpyshan touched and the Thrawn trilogy.

Typical stormtroopers... can't hit shit.

I thought I was the only one who hated The Force Awakens

I still haven't seen The Force Awakens. I'm sure I will some day.

What happens when a black hole sue collides with a god mode sue?

Hmm, I didn't realize he'd written more than KotOR and the Darth Bane Trilogy. Perhaps I misspoke.

Ill have to check out his Revan novel. Though it won't be anytime soon.

There may have been dark Jedi or other Force users who fell to the dark side (the dark Jedi from the third book, forget his name is a prime example. And in fact the lore says he mastered essence transfer and lived close to the full thousand years leading up to the prequels). But not true Sith. A Sith is specifically trained in the ways of that order, simply being dark with a red lightsaber doesn't count. And apart from the knowledge and artifacts that Bane and his descendants acquired, the Jedi purged everything they could find of the Sith. Being Sith on your own was going to be next to impossible. Finally who's to say some challengers didn't arise? In Plagueis we do have that other random "apprentice" that shows up to challenge Plagueis and his response is "bitch please." The Rule of Two was absolute though. Bane's Sith would've hunted them down and destroyed them, lest they expose the whole thing to the Jedi. The Grand Plan required not only mundane secrecy but the Jedi becoming complacent in the knowledge that the Sith were irrevocably extinct.

Sith Sorcery is borderline reality warping in the lore, man. Comics did it way before Karpyshyn. See Naga Sadow blowing up a sun with just the Dark Side. By comparison Zannah's an amateur at the time of the second book. The dark side tendrils though are a special kind of awesome. I think Karpyshyn resorted to them because he was trying to hammer home the difference between master and apprentice and how to win Zannah needed to play her game not Bane's. Zannah can't beat Bane physically. But she has skills he'll never have against which his strength proved useless. Or more to the point inferior. I imagine by the same token Zannah's sorcery proved to not be enough against Cognus' precognition and Force dampening powers when she took over.

Finally the orbalisks were proving to be almost actual plot armor so I don't think there was a way to make it 100% contrivance free. But it was still a better effort than you give it credit for. They went to Caleb not because he was the only one who could remove the orbalisks but because he was just that good a healer and if told the correct procedure (which Zannah had researched earlier) stood the best chance of pulling it off. As for tricking the Jedi, meh, people see what they want to see and it won't be the last time a Sith can make Jedi go full retard.

If you're not overly attached to Revan, it was only mediocre.

Same with Annihilation actually. Theron=meh.

Another star wars fan here . I just hope that the next movies/ games will be better than what I had to experience last year. My expectations are not high, so I hope that I won't be disappointed.

Hey deerber I am going to let you in on a secret, after I got banned I made an alt, IDK if anyone else knows........

On topic, does that mean you hated the movie too?
