Really lame to compare GOT books or tv series to last Jedi
GOT is best show on tv period. Last Jedi stunk GOT is most likely the greatest fantasy feature made on film/tv
If your some kind of GOT purist there isn’t much to complain about especially since Martin has had writers block or is too famous to finish
The spoiler tag which I agree is a spoiler we’re good moments in the show. You may not like them but these moments were more interesting than most Star Wars moments produced in last few years
Since empire and some canon stories(thrawn & bane) the lore has Gone down. Mcdirmid & mcgregor are really the only decent actors who have good scripts/background and none of the new characters have the depth of minor characters in got
Anakin backstory and how he became Vader and why was terrible Now we have new 2017 heroes with no backstory
The only hope I see is the GOT writers but how much will they be handcuffed based on pg ratings

Tangentially relevant “The Galactic Federation of Free Alliances from Star Wars Legends is perhaps the worst name ever given to an interstellar nation.” Was that by George? George Lucas is notoriously bad at naming stuff: But then a phantom menace struck. George Lucas would periodically check in on the status of the games his company was making, lending creative input and advice. The developer I talked to sighs, and agitatedly says, “In one viewing of Fracture, [Lucas] said it looked really good, but he didn’t like [Mason Briggs’] name. We’re like, ‘What do you mean, George?’ He responded to the effect of, ‘It doesn’t really fit. When he jumps on stuff, he moves pretty fast. I like B.J. Dart.’“So everybody’s like, ‘No, he’s gotta be f---ing with us.’ He’s absolutely not. So when something like that happened – in the middle of the campaign, mind you – we have to go back through that entire naming convention again… from scratch.” From that second session, Jet Brody was born. Coincidentally. Jett is the name of Lucas’ son.A similar situation arose with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed’s protagonist, Starkiller. “[That name] was only supposed to be a nickname or call sign, not a proper name from the beginning,” a former LucasArts employee says. The development team hoped that Lucas would give Vader’s apprentice a Darth moniker, which at the time, was something that didn’t happen often.“The team threw a Hail Mary to George, saying the game would have more credibility if the apprentice had a ‘Darth’ title,” a Force Unleashed team member says. Lucas agreed that this situation made sense for Sith royalty, and offered up two Darth titles for the team to choose from. “He threw out ‘Darth Icky’ and ‘Darth Insanius.’ There was a pregnant pause in the room after that. People waiting for George to say ‘just kidding,’ but it never comes, and he just moved on to another point.”Team members involved in the decision to not use these ridiculous Darth titles could not be reached for comment, but three LucasArts employees believe an excuse was made to push the Darth title to the sequel. By the time development on that title commenced, the names were long forgotten by Lucas and weren’t muttered by the development team again. Starkiller remained Starkiller in the games, but was also named Galen Marek in the greater Expanded Universe fiction.“These name problems may sound like funny stories, but the quality of these games suffered from these curveballs thrown by people not directly tied to the development process,” another employee angrily adds. “It got to a point that it became difficult to hire new talent because these stories got out there. People thought we were running a madhouse.”www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/04/04/fall-of-the-empire-how-inner-turmoil-brought-down-a-legendary-studio.aspx?PostPageIndex=2

Actually it composed of most of the known galaxy: the New Republic, the Imperial Remnant, Chiss Ascendancy, Hapes Consortium, etc. Of course it didn't stay unified for long after the war ended. It was more informally known simply as the Galactic Alliance.

"It is said that certain creatures are born with a higher awareness of the Force than humans. Their brains are different; they have more midi-chlorians in their cells." -- George Lucas, 1977
Ah Medi-chlorians. They answer the question for if the force is in all living things, why can only some people command it?
I hear someone had a count of over 20,000. Did Yoda even have a count that high?
Anyway, I wanted to ask about Luke Skywalker's path as a jedi. Would Luke be a Guardian, Sentinel, or Consular?

Anyway, I wanted to ask about Luke Skywalker's path as a jedi. Would Luke be a Guardian, Sentinel, or Consular? In what? The original trilogy? The EU? In the original trilogy it was a pretty much straight up Guardian, he was a mostly self taught swordsmen but that was most of his focus during the three films, learning lightsaber combat and how to use the Force to employ it. In the EU it rapidly gets more complicated because he basically had to design his own method of training for new Jedi at his Academy. So he basically became diplomat and warrior both. He studied and learned techniques of both the Living Force and those that were more martial in design. I mean in the EU he was Grand Master of the Jedi Order for most of the Post Endor incarnation of it. So he needed at the very an understanding of all the Jedi talents, disciplines and skills, from healing to sword forms, and even the higher mysteries and techniques such as emerald lightning.

"It is said that certain creatures are born with a higher awareness of the Force than humans. Their brains are different; they have more midi-chlorians in their cells." -- George Lucas, 1977 Why did Lucas have to come up with something so DUMB as midi-chlorians? They were never mentioned the the original trilogy, thank god. But then we get the prequels and midi-chlorians ::shudders:: That really killed the mystery of the Force right there. Way to go Mr. Lucas I had way too much fun ripping apart the need for a midi-chlorian blood test of a certain someone even came up with a reasonable explanation as to why. If you like I can post the part of my story that deals with it.
