I’ve had that discussion about the droids, in Clone Wars they had this story arc about slavers and Yoda got on his high horse and I’m all “wait what”, and brought it up to a couple of other nerds. By and large we all agree, yup droids are slaves and it’s kind of jacked up for the Republic to be all uptight about it while their protocol droids are translating their rant.

One fan theory is that C3PO is actually Vader's spy since he built him and solves how Vader keeps finding those rebel scum.

You can’t have more than 2 Sith in a group, because they inevitably succumb to infighting. But they’re out there somewhere. Maul is really the example of real Sith, he’s out there, looking for stuff and power. I suppose when you have a whole Empire to run it takes away from quest time.

Oh sure, there’ll be surviving Jedi, and Sith. But they’ll be even. Which was my point. The last thing the Jedi should have wanted was balance, they ruled the freaking galaxy, there were thousands of them, there were some rumors of Sith but nothing concrete and certainly not enough of them to be a threat. Any smart group of people in their position that thought this kid was going to bring balance would have killed him a lot.

You can only have 2 Sith: A master who has the power and the apprentice who craves it.

And as Palpatine explained to Maul, he had been replaced.

If a dark side force user gets too powerful, the Sith deal with them.

Clone Wars is canon with the movies and Rebels.

“I don’t think Lucas’ life would be worth a plugged nickel. That is how crazy fanboyz can be.”

Actually, legions of “fanboyz” have been calling for Luke to go to the Dark Side for many years. Even Mark Hamill talked about it a number of years ago: http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Mark-Hamill-Actually-Pitched-An-Evil-Luke-Skywalker-Idea-J-J-Abrams-89617.html

Non-Hispanic rugged (Luke started to grow a pair in The Return of the Jedi) Caucasians heroes must be eradicated by orders of Abrams. If Kylo turns, the point still stands. That guy might as well be wearing leather restraints and sucking on a pacifier while waiting anxiously for the ferry to Fire Island.

They really need to bring back his underling/apprentice Asajj Ventress, best character out of that Clone Wars series...

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Rule_of_Two

Rule of Two is for a specific time and situation. That was after their infighting had given the Jedi a massive victory. And even then the rule is for Sith Lords, presumably there’s some layers of Sith below that title that’s never really been explained. If the Jedi had a rule about there being only 2 Jedi Masters we’d know that doesn’t limit the Knights level, or any of the ones below it. Plus of course with quadrillions of beings in the galaxy how are they really going to know? Until some other Sith gets big enough for whoever is in the “allowed” 2 to notice they’re just out there. There could be thousands, millions, just keeping a low profile. Which was the real point of the Rule in the first place.

Disney has dropped the ‘canon bomb’ in favor of the expanded ‘Whatever we say goes’ universe. They already crapped on the events that transpired (Emperor dead, Vader dead, Luke could of assininated every General of the Empire with the help of his force sensitive sister, rebels could of easily imploded the Empire's infrastructure, New Order or whatever is a joke as well as Kylo, Mary SUUUUuuee. etc...)

Wait til they make the movies with surviving Jedi chicks training Luke between Episodes IV-V and V-VI.

He had to learn those abilities somewhere. Yeah, we're fixing a plot hole, you'll thank us.

Shaak Ti and/or Ahsoka, they might even decide Aayla Secura wasn't blasted to pieces.

And they'll get to be super chick and Luke will be whiny.

>>I’ll just stay stuck in the 70s, greatest decade for music in my live.<<

Pre-Disco I hope.

People forget a lot of music they ascribe to the 60’s were created in the lower-70s.

Anybody complaining Mary Sue is just being dumb. The entire franchise was built on director stand-in, Luke is a bigger Marty Stu than any character in FA, heck Luke is a bigger Marty Stu than any character not played by Woody Allen. He’s even NAMED after the director. So really, every whining about Mary Sue needs to get the hell over it.

An Ahsoka/Aayla Secura movie saving the galaxy and in their spare time training a raw, whiny CGI'd Luke with Mark Hamill doing the voice...

Anyone saying Rey isn't a Mary Sue is just being dumb and obtuse to boot (and that is just a short synopsis).

Start with the fact that Luke got his ass kicked in all 3 movies and had to be helped by other people. Luke just had quick reflexes and that was just that until he could be trained (Heroes journey which is the antithesis of a Stu). Could he even control minds until the third with low tier mentally handicapped characters (Well seasoned force users cannot even do that)? Could he even do the easiest maneuver, force pull in the first? Had some training with Kenobi, Mary Sue just found out the force was real and poof skills that rival a Master. This is terrible writing, no character struggles, extreme and the development/wish fulfillment was left vague in order to market the "girl power" memes in order to push plastic toys. Also at least he practiced shooting wombats. Tons of other cringe worthy stuff. VII was an abomination.
