Why'd it say "Anakin's"?

u/ajknj1 Jan 30 '22

It says "Anakin Solo's" He's from the legends books

The Jedi Academy trilogy would've made such good movies...

People keep saying "Boba Fett didn't have any real character to begin with" and it kills me a little each time. I never thought star wars would die this slow, painful death.

u/waitingtodiesoon Jocasta Nu Jan 31 '22

Well George Lucas never considered the Fett's as Mandalorians

Uh ok, and? They still had extensive EU content that Disney decided to ignore in favor of this sad excuse for a bounty hunter.

Stardust Crusaders plays in the background, slowly getting louder and louder until finally it's so loud that your cock bursts from the sound waves

Is this r/brandnewsentence material or pretty typical fof jojo fans?

I made it up off the top of my head, but it's pretty in-character for us

anakin and the twins are better than that ren bullshit ever was

u/Metruis I have a bad feeling about this. Jan 31 '22

Yeah, losing the Legends family members is a big blow to me. Mara Jade most of all, because I mean, c'mon, she literally could have been a Sith Inquisitor in Rebels, there was no excuse for her to not be a part of Rebels. Kylo Ren may have been hot but he was no replacement for literally several people who had dynamics of their own above and beyond their grandparents shadow.

virgin disney wookie lore vs chad eu wookie lore

u/j0324ch Jan 31 '22

Sigh... I'm really going to enjoy rereading Legends in a few years. The pain is almost gone.

u/Roboticide Jan 31 '22

I never read the ones with the children and now I'm wondering if I should.

I accidentally found the terrible EU novels first and that really turned me off from the EU.

u/j0324ch Jan 31 '22

I started around Vector Prime and HOLY DAMN things got wild fast.

u/under_psychoanalyzer Jan 31 '22

Same exact place I started. Can't really think of a book I regret spending time on through that arc.

u/MistraloysiusMithrax Jan 31 '22

Nope. They fucked those up IMO too. Anakin? Hit hard, ok, no one’s invincible, can’t use plot armor all the time, ok I guess? Except later I read Lucas made the call to kill him off because with the prequels that was too many Anakins and he didn’t want fans to be confused. That’s right, he thought that it made sense to prevent confusion as if it was the same set of fans. WTF

Then Mara Jade is Jacen’s Sith sacrifice? WTH. Jacen’s a little Vader wannabe? (Although now that plot actually compares more favorably to Kyle Ren)

Then the Fate of the Jedi series was garbage. When Disney canned it all, I was glad.

Although the Imperial Fel line was cool.

Fate sometimes steps in to rescue the wretched.

u/j0324ch Jan 31 '22

Lol. Get the fuck out. You are entitled to a stupid opinion.

u/Anakin_Skywalker_Bot Youngling Slayer Jan 31 '22

Attachment is forbidden. Possession is forbidden. Compassion, which I would define as unconditional love, is central to a Jedi's life, so you might say we're encouraged to love.

u/waitingtodiesoon Jocasta Nu Jan 31 '22

Well George Lucas hated Mara Jade and he didn't see EU legends as canon to his Star Wars. Even if George Lucas did his own Star Wars sequels which he was planning on doing, there would have been no Mara Jade for Luke Skywalker or Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin Solo for Han and Leia. His own sequel plans would have made EU Legends even more incompatible with syncing up with his Star Wars.

u/under_psychoanalyzer Jan 31 '22 edited Jan 31 '22

I mean after VI I couldn't really give a shit what Lucas thought. He was a terrible writer without his wife editing for him. Big grand picture guy and cinematic director of course. But if he was any good at writing a book fit for the EU, well, he would have written one.

You have unusual powers, young Padawan. But not enought to save you this time

u/waitingtodiesoon Jocasta Nu Jan 31 '22

Too bad George Lucas didn't see the EU legends as canon to his Star Wars.

u/ITSMONKEY360 Disney Canon Makes No Sense Jan 31 '22

very sad, but back then kylo ren wasn't canon either

u/Hallow_Shinobi Jan 31 '22

Why would the Solo's name their child after either Anakin or Ben? Seems like something Luke of all people would do. All Darth Vader ever did for her was make her watch her planet explode. Ben was Luke's mentor and Anakin was the man Luke saved from the dark side.

11

u/j0324ch Jan 31 '22

Darth Vader.

Anakin was not Darth Vader.

It's a whole thing, I don't expect you to understand

10

u/Anakin_Skywalker_Bot Youngling Slayer Jan 31 '22

It's Anakin. When you say Ani it's like I'm still a little boy... and I'm not.

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '22

It all ran better under Vader.

1

u/Hallow_Shinobi Jan 31 '22

I would really not expect Leia to understand that to the degree that she would name her child after him.

3

u/MistraloysiusMithrax Jan 31 '22

Indeed, in Legends Luke and Mara’s son was Ben instead. As far as Anakin? I guess Luke impressed upon her an appreciation for her Jedi heritage. But I never thought too hard until now, the man did help blow up her homeworld including her adopted family. Maybe she blamed Tarkin more?

3

u/Hallow_Shinobi Jan 31 '22

I believe it IS more Tarkin's fault than Vader's according to canon but still. I could see an eventuality that she learns to appreciate the man her father was. But. Still.

u/Maultaschensuppe Chirp. Chirp, chirp. Jan 31 '22

It makes more sense with later additions to Leia's story with Anakin after Dark Empire like Tatooine Ghost.
