    I strongly advise people not be admitted to this thread sober.
     
    The best way to enjoy Mattris’ ravings is with copious amounts of booze.

    ?? No it doesn't. That isn't what the tweet says. Read it again. It says the novelizations are canon "where they align with what is seen on screen". If it does not 'align what what is seen on screen', it is not canon
     
    And, you are asking him to prove something does not exist? How is he meant to do that? Would you like to see a piece of plain white paper? Who needs to be convinced something unknown, immeasurable, nonexistent, undetectable exists
     
    Saying 'the proof is in the pudding' does not advance your argument

    No, it doesn't. Because it wasn't. We all know it wasn't. 
    If you have proof we are all wrong and you're right please provide it. 
    Otherwise you have no credibility.

    I've been going through all my Erich Kunzel CDs, and came across arrangement of themes (from the first film) he did, here it is:
     
     
     
    What do people think of it?  It's a bit... random in how it goes from one theme to another, but some of the arrangements are kinda fun?  Nothing really sounds like the original recordings, they are all changed up a bit, mostly in orchestration.

    It sounds ridiculous to me to stand in line to see a coffin. Is it at least open casket?

    You make it sound like Disney/Lucasfilm is worse than the Empire and Iger, Kennedy and co. are more sinister than the Emperor. Come on, you read things into all this that are just not there. They WISH they were so smart as you make them look. Alas they are not by a longshot. 
    This is not a conspiracy like Roswell and Area 51. This is only the awful sequel trilogy that was made up by incompetent people as they went. 
    That goes for Indiana Jones, too. Sometimes the heroes riding into the sunset is the best way to end a great franchise.

    It was a question asked genuinely. And you didn't answer it.
     
     
    I agree that Return of the Jedi  is a 'satisfactory' ending to the Original Trilogy, in isolation.
     
    Once the Prequel Trilogy was added, Saga must be re-examined. Without a reassessment of all six films in context, one would then be concluding that the prequels were devoid of substance and could be ignored. (From my point of view, this is where the Star Wars fandom, collectively, has utterly failed.)
     
     "...and they all lived happily ever after" had been done before (many times) and was expected. Can you fathom that George Lucas had something else in mind? This would explain why he made the prequels, other than the expected 'Anakin becomes Darth Vader'. Can you come up with any reasons you think Lucas made the Prequel Trilogy? Better yet, how would these intriguing inclusions re-conceptualize the OT?
     
     
    Please provide direct quotes in which JJ Abrams or Rian Johnson said 'There was no plan for the Sequel Trilogy.'
     
    Daisy Ridley talking about what she was told about her character - to another professional actor, on a Disney-owned show - is weak evidence and should be taken with a grain of salt or completely dismissed.
     
    In that interview, Ridley often avoided looking at the camera, indicating that she is most likely lying or recalling how she was supposed to respond to that prepared question. In her answer, she mentioned Olaf (of Frozen, voiced by Gad) being considered as part of Rey's family. The whole thing was just another Ridley/Gad skit, continuing where they left off from the comedic bits they made leading up to the release of TLJ: 'Hey Daisy. How are you? Can I get you anything? Who are Rey's parents?'
     
    Trust me, guys. They're trolling.

    There is no Episode X, and it's just a coincidence that Rey's and Palpatine's share some notes. 
    There was no plan to make Rey and Palpatine related until Abrams couldn't write a decent story for TROS.

    That's not even half of it! In a couple hours you'll get to hear how even back then Lucas was obviously planning their son, Mutt, and the aliens and whatever and whoever is in 5 that I already know. Also "This is it. This is where Forrestal cashed in." is an anagram for "Toby Jones is a time travelling Hitler" if you switch out all the letters.

    Why exactly is it so hard to believe that Star Wars as a franchise is being very mishandled right now, unintentionally, as opposed to there being some kind of grand plan? It calls to mind the similar concept of Hanlon’s Razor which is ‘never attribute to malice what is adequately explained by stupidity’ where ‘malice’ is replaced by ‘grand intention’ in this case.
     
    Have we not seen this kind of thing play out many times with other big franchises, or do you also believe they’ve got a grand plan as well. If not, then what makes Star Wars the one that would?

    On Star Wars matters, @Chen G., rest assured: You have no idea what's "correct".
     
    You seem like someone who would consider themselves 'book smart'. I wonder, have you read any Star Wars novels?
     
    To all those who laughed at and badgered me for years: You have made fools of yourselves. You just don't know it yet.
