We saw a Star War! Last Jedi spoiler thread

[pukunui]

Remember folks, canon is now only the movies and what Disney produces via books. The only previously published material still considered canon are the six original trilogy/prequel trilogy films, the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series and film, and the stand-alone Dark Horse Comics arc Star Wars: Darth Maul—Son of Dathomir; which was based on unproduced scripts from The Clone Wars TV series

You forgot Star Wars: Rebels. That's canon too.

Look again. Lots of stuff originated in the WEG D6 Star Wars game shows up in the new films and made cannon. Like the Juggernaut used in Rogue One.

The WEG stuff is no longer considered canon. That doesn't mean that they can't take stuff from it and canonize it by including it in a movie or TV show or whatever. But as long as it's only in WEG, then it no longer is canon.

I only copied what I needed, Rebels was done after Disney bought Lucas wasn't it?

Yes, but you said canon only equalled the films + Disney books + Clone Wars. That doesn't leave room for things like the Rebels TV series.

Canon is basically all films + Clone Wars TV series + anything put out since Disney bought Lucasfilm (books, comics, TV series, etc).

Justed saw it. Ive heard a lot of people say it sucked hard and several say it was the most awsomest movie ever made. I am somewhere in the middle. I wish they had done more with Luke, and Rose and Finn seemed totally worthless, but all in all I had a good time watching it. Seeing it in a theater that serves beer may have helped in that regard.

Did anyone else want to show Poe the nearest airlock? One of my friends referred to him as "the First Order's MVP" because of the number of Rebel deaths he was personally responsible for.

Yeah Poe is kinda a douche, but he means well.

"Blow up that dreadnought, you bombers. Damn the cost, because you're not me!"

The thing is, he's not wrong. If the Dreadnought had still been intact when the First Order caught up with them, their handful of capital ships wouldn't even have survived long enough to get out of the fleet's optimal firing range - assuming they even made it into hyperspace in the first place.

Which is why I said it's where a lot of canon originates.

Maybe, maybe not. No idea if the dreadnought had any more range on its weapons than did the destroyers. We do know, however, that he sacrificed literally every bomber they had available, while acting against orders.
