[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7564557, member: 6716779"] EU Luke had some terrible plot devices, kid Anakin was worse than Rey. At least Daisy can express emotions on her face and she seems to be a decent actor. Lucas drew on the old EU its where name Coruscant and Palpatine came from, along with Maul's double bladed lightsaber. Message boards and social media mostly didn't exist 20 years ago when TPM landed, and TFA>TPM any day of the week. In the new canon they lifted Thrawn and TIE defenders from the old EU so they're plugging stuff back in. I just thought they could have learnt some things from the opld EU and improved on it. The basic plot of TFA for example is recycled from 25 odd years ago (Imperial faction check, darksider check, superweapon check). They also had some very interesting female Jedi and other characters. For example if they're not going to make Rey part of a famous family like the skywalkers or Kenobi etc they should have giving her a better back ground rather than "you're a nobody" which may or may not get retconned. Compare Rey with Jynn Erso from Rogue One. They only had one movie there to do anything with but yeah I cared about her as she had a background I liked they did a great job there. You kind of wanted her to get a happy ending reuniting with her dad, but that was not to be. Because I liked her character her death at the end of the movie meant something. [/QUOTE]
