    I suppose the inclusion of the word "real" might have helped. Especially in light of all the recent news.

    Well, IMO all twelve are real. (And yes I know we've been through that discussion already)

    Bob Iger's book sheds some light on this and would indicate otherwise!

    The movies and EU novels and the RPGs and video games all use different mechanics for the spaceships.

    Among other things, in the computer game X-Wing which I played hundreds of hours on, Star Destroyers were slow as molasses. In the movies a Star Destroyer could chase the Millenium Falcon around. In the novels it tends to be in between.

    In X-Wing, Nebulon-B were my least favorite ship to fight. In a great many missions I don't just solve the mission objective, I would usually stick around to destroy every Imperial ship until I got bored or got in over my head.

    Even if I chose not to target the Star Destroyer's vulnerable shield projectors, Star Destroyers were easier to fight than Nebulon-B frigates. A Star Destroyer may have a lot more guns, but the Star Destroyers have a lot more surface area to shoot at. You make a long strafing laser run on the Star Destroyer while also dodging. You cannot do that with a Nebulon-B. They are so thin that in order to get a good solid strafing run in on them you have to basically fly into it's guns. Something you should not do if you aren't flying a B-Wing.

    And under Disney, she would be more powerful than you could possibly imagine.

    If my memory serves me correct, Obi-Wan was created prior to the Disney acquisition of Lucasfilm. :cool:


    In the new era, the priority is clearly placed on the creation of powerful female characters and Mary Sues.

    Yes it does. I paraphrased an old quote from real Star Wars to describe current day Disney Star Wars. :cool:

    Always nice to see when someone sees the common elements that all Star Wars movies have to them. :)
