That sad part is that given Disney War's already liberal theft from the EU, they could've just kept the original plot line from Dark Empire, in which it was just a prepared response to his potential death with him having Clone bodies prepped ahead of time. Yet through their own drooling idiocy they rendered that null and void all on their own with that dumb ass decision to invent "Operation Cinder", when they had Palpatine returning irregardless, thus making that entire thing an exercise in just pure retardation .___. And this comes from a guy who has rather mixed opinions on Dark Empire mind you

And this comes from a guy who has rather mixed opinions on Dark Empire mind you This is another example of Kennedy's story group's incompetence. Being the master schemer of the SW verse you'd figure that Palpatine would have evacuated his remaining loyalists to "It's Totally Not Byss" in order to bolster the combat efficacy of his future invasion fleet, but nope let's burn it all down to the ground, turn whatever remaining loyalists against you and start off in a worse position than TPM's conclusion.

IMO, the return of Palpatine wouldn't even have been that bad (still bad but not THAT bad) if they wouldn't have done it in the fricking opening crawl. I remember sitting in the cinema and literally laughing out loud at that crawler text:
It's like, did I miss 2 movies? How do you go from the end of the last movie to this? Did they never focus test this? How can you show this in any kind of pre-replease screening or whatever and people give the feedback of "yea, that works"?

On my actual thoughts? Its too little, too late, the cast reveal has some potential I guess but *shrug* it comes on the back of the death of the franchise(sequel trilogy) and an ailing fake Mando tv program.
So I expect precious little from this next trashfire

Just more evidence of their lack of planning.

I think this looks interesting. I really enjoyed both REBELS and CLONE WARS, so I'm interested to see where this goes.
PS: Rewind, I totally dig your use of the Kyle Katarn meme. Between 1995 and 2008 I played the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series exclusively...and for many years I felt Jedi Outcast had the best textures, modeling, colours, shading and lighting (not to mention that still-incredible lightsaber combat!) to be released. Then in mid 2008 when my PC hardware became too advanced and the change in OS rendered DF/JK unplayable....I was truly heart broken, but after much debate I decided to branch out and try to play other games and other genres. So I picked up the original BIOSHOCK for about 45.00 on a whim knowing nothing about it. I got it home and for three days straight I played it almost non-stop....totally amazed at the graphics and lighting and impressed with how that game engine was able to render water. But then I got really stuck: I was literally backed into a corner with zero ammo, no health and two Big Daddy's barreling down on me. Not wanting to (or not thinking about) overwriting that part of my save-game files to an earlier state....I became so beyond-frustrated that I uninstalled BIOSHOCK from my PC and promptly sold the game to a used games store down the street from my house. I have been so disillusioned with BIOSHOCK since because of that experience that I have not even entertained the thought of ever playing it again, nor giving the sequels a chance. With the money that I received for the trade in of BIOSHOCK, I went to BestBuy and purchased Knights Of The Old Republic.
Being completely new to the RPG genre, I was a little turned-off by the silent PC and the slow, turn-based combat that seemed as though a pair of dice were silently being rolled off-screen (which I learned was in fact what was happening essentially, as a mechanic that harkened back to the origins of table top and board game RPGs like D&D) So then I understood and learned to live with the slower placed combat. But more than that what totally got me invested in the game and the larger genre of RPGs was the story, the characters, the writing, the exploration and the art design. I would spend hours exploring every planet going to the farthest reaches just to take in the beautiful art style. (I remember being particularly amazed on my visit to Tattooine when I wandered the vast reaches of the desert and then stopped to watch the twin suns set below the horizon. Or even having to shield my eyes from the lens flares and glare from the sun spots. I had never seen such rich detail in a game before. I knew then that this was something special and I was totally immersed in the 83 hours it took me to msotly complete the game. I never did totally finish KOTOR 1 because I was playin on my dad's computer and he uninstalled it to save disk space before I could complete it. But what I did play I so thoroughly enjoyed that I knew right away I would purchase the sequel. And I enjoyed the sequwl even more, I think, because it seemed to be more centered on the character of a disgraced Jedi. I liked that aspect.
From there I got into DA:O which I enjoyed....but was not terribly 'over the moon' about....But those two titles were enough to drive me to purchasing what instantly became my favourite franchise: Mass Effect.
But keeping this as a Star Wars post......my thrill for the Star Wars universe and the galaxy far, far away....has been rekindled with Fallen Order.
