    If it wasn't for the copious amounts of canon information about the universe, one would have thought that the Sith were beaten by the Republic and the Jedi, and no one knew they secretly made plans for revenge.

    I can't take that line seriously anymore because he repeated it in Spaced.

    (Not saying I took it seriously before, but you know what I mean.)
    Quote Quoting Donald Glover
    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Neat ideas, but which is the correct cannon history?

    Several sources depict Maul returning from the dead in several different forms. The story "Resurrection" from Star Wars Tales 9 depicts a duplicate of Darth Maul created by a cult, which is killed in a duel with Darth Vader.

    The story "Phantom Menaces" in Star Wars Tales #17 depicts a post-Return of the Jedi Luke Skywalker visiting Maul's home planet of Iridonia in an ambassadorial capacity, where he faces a "solid state holigram" of Darth Maul, which he destroys.

    In 2005, Dark Horse Comics published Star Wars: Visionaries, a compilation of comic art short stories written and illustrated by members of the Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith art department and ILM artists. One story, "Old Wounds", considered to be non-canonical to Star Wars lore, depicts Darth Maul surviving his bisection at the hands of Obi-Wan Kenobi, replacing his missing bottom half with cybernetic replacements. He then follows Obi-Wan throughout the galaxy, finally tracking him down on Tatooine a few years after the events of Revenge of the Sith. He engages Obi-Wan in a lightsaber duel, but is killed by a blaster bolt to the head from Owen Lars, Luke Skywalker's adoptive uncle.

    I'm often bothered by how inconsistent jedis' powers are.

    Oh, I've read this issue! That was badass. It's in the top three Star Wars comics I've ever read.

    But does that actually make it a good comic?

    I was under the impression that the comics made internet forum fan-fic look briliant. Was I misinformed?

    Which one? There are hundreds of Star Wars comics published by several companies dating all the way back to the 70's.

    And yes, the three I was referring to, I really liked.

    No wonder he's constantly blathering on and on about revenge. Maybe nobody knows what revenge he's going on about...they just nod and say, "Sure Maul. Revenge."

    Eh, I thought pretty much all of it was supposed to be crap.

    Is it the Dark Horse stuff you're talking about?

    I could post this in the video game thread, but it won't get the attention it deserves.

    Lucas knows that if he re-releases the OT in theaters after he re-releases the prequels he'll get people like me who don't like him to give him more money. He's a crafty one, that old man....

    Not gonna bother seeing the originals either. I have no doubt he'll make even more revisions to them (the same way the PT Yoda is now CGI), and the 3D is a serious turnoff to me.

    No thank you, I'll stay home with my limited editions, non-anamorphic as they are.

    I imagine it will be, although I will admit I don't know for certain. Some of my friends are wondering why I'm not excited about the prequels being released, and its because I've seen all of them in theaters. However, I missed out on seeing ESB in theaters when it was re-released.

    I have to say, when the OTSE was RR in theaters back in 97, I was like OMG when I saw there was new footage in ANH, ESB and RoTJ. I had a WTF reaction when I saw the sarlacc at JP. Then I ate at a BBQ.

    I've never seen the use of "OT" in place for Original Trilogy before this thread.

    OT means 1 thing. Off Topic.

    IANAAE, but OT is used ATT with SW fans when talking about OT. FYI.

    Yeah, OT and PT are about as common a pairing of acronyms as you'll find within the lingo of your everyday Star Wars cultist, or at least they were back when I was a member in the early aughts.
