I don’t want to highlight this guy, but this is so disingenuous and it’s just plain gaslighting. Legends did not always remain consistent with the first 6 movies. In fact a lot of stuff was retconned by the prequels. This rosy glasses look to the past only inflames the hate.

I’ve been a defender of most of the decisions Disney has made since acquiring the Star Wars franchise, but canceling the Acolyte is not one of them. What a reactionary decision. Allow stories to be told. George Lucas would have told the story, whether people liked it or not.

So I'm probably going to catch a lot of flak from his followers for this, but I decided to watch SWT's Dark Empire fan film. I love the original comic. Cam Kennedy's artwork, the nostalgia, and the interesting glimpse it gives into the very beginnings of the EU.

Heck, the EU wasn’t even consistent with itself. That’s not a knock on it either, I loved the EU. But pretending it was this sacred scroll of text, and in every way better than what we have now, is as I said disingenuous and gaslighting.

First on the title crawl, this word spacing is atrocious. I know it's justified text, but it looks bad. I dunno who your graphic designer is, but I had an art director who used to say "you could drive a truck thru those holes" whenever something like this popped up.

"Turbalance" ???? Proofreading should be done way before anything visual is created. It's also very "uncanny valley" to hear these characters talking and their eyes blinking, and their bodies moving, but their lips stay still.

See how the original comic did it? This text is spaced out much better (albeit not justified type). It's pretty wordy for a title crawl, but even a truncated version would probably fill space better than what SWT did here.

Did a non-English native speaker write this? Why not just use the actual text from the comic? The ship is named Rebel Star singular, and ships are normally given a "the" in front of their name. "I got a bad feeling about" the text and grammar of this going forward.

I kinda dislike the Glup Shitto meme. I think it scared Disney off from making more reference material. I think it’s why we don’t have much details on things that appear on screen. Whereas I think everything having a backstory is one of the most endearing aspects of Star Wars.

@tommy_stella I think his inclusion was specifically because he would later discount Qui-Gon's Sith accusation 100 years later. It was to show that the Jedi don't, and haven't for a long time, take the Sith threat seriously. It's just an old fairy tale to them at this point in time.
