Star Wars VIIII The Rise of Skywalker (Page 1 of 3)

They could never do this because there's too many moral questions about what you do with a man who's killed thousands in the name of the Dark Side but then atones to become Light Side again. Seriously, you just let that guy go and do... whatever?

Yeah... and how did he finish the film?

My point was that the films have a history of avoiding dealing with the consequences of a Sith Lord returning to the lightside by just killing them off after their redemption.

I can't remember how they handled Revan because it's been a LONG time since I played KOTOR 2 (if it's even mentioned).

But having created this narrative that a force-sensitive can almost "choose" their alignment complicates matters (massive over simplification, I know). Because it's not as simple as X did Y because X has "redeemed" themselves. But does that get them off the hook for the original atrocities?

It's easier to kill them off.

For the most part, Star Wars tries to cater to families and young audiences. So it’s hard to justify to kids that evil people can be redeemed after what they (Kylo) did. I just feel the movie kept cheating it’s viewers from satisfaction.

From the whole Chewbacca thing to “Rey Skywalker”. No coherency between the three movies and each movie trying to twist the last one.

Need to read Star Wars the Old Republic : Revan to find out what happens I guess.

Disney came in and said that all original star wars cannon is wrong and wont be used so they could start some what fresh with their movies but they still use original cannon too. the whole Emperor as a clone is in the original cannon which makes their statement all the more confusing.

Yeah Episodes 1 - 6 are still valid but all the books, comics and games for the most part before Disney took over are not valid.

In the original cannon Leia and Han have twins a girl and boy but in the movies they only have 1 child a son.

In the original cannon Luke gets married and has a son Ben but in the movies Luke never marries or has kids.

That was badass and correct on the rest too.

Disney decided to use what they wanted of the original cannon even if it made no sense and that is why they said that the original cannon was not to be used to go by the fans.

I agree but at least we are getting more in movies, series and games then we did with LucasArts at the helm but only time will tell how this change effects the lore of Star Wars down the road.

I must admit I was worried when Disney acquired Star Wars because I worried they'd sanitise to appeal to the widest audience possible rather than focusing on what made it good.

As you said, time will tell.
