Star Trek vs. Star Wars (and a collection of memes)

Well... if you consider Disney canon (which we don't), then it didn't work out too well for Han and Leia either.

 

Very true!

To be honest that's one of the very few things I liked about the Sequel Trilogy... I'd rather take that more realistic forecast of their love life over the EU version, where they somehow found the archetypal nuclear family, any day (as much as many others would choose the reverse). But then I am not a fan of Han I suppose, probably why I was one of the few people who enjoyed seeing him die in 7 too.

Those things and Rogue One I'll happily accept as portions of my Canon (though the rest of Disney Wars can burn of course).

 

Woah, woah, woah... no need to get crazy.

EU stomps Disney canon any day of the week.

Yes and no. Leia claiming to be on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan when everyone (and especially Vader) just saw the ship fly off from Scarif orbit moments before is a bit clunky.

 

For me it depends...

I'd certainly take E-Wings over slightly-upgraded X-Wings for a futuristic evolution of the Rebellion/New Republic's starfighters. E-Wings are a logical streamlining of the X-Wing core components, whereas slightly-upgraded X-Wings would be seen about 5 years after Episode VI, but not 30 as they are in the Sequel Trilogy.

I'd take the New Republic over the rehash that was the 'Resistance' any day.

I'd be interested to see Thrawn appear in a film or three (so long as he is made likeable as a villain and properly different from others we've seen, rather than the Saturday-morning cartoon baddie seen in Rebels and Ahsoka).

I'd really like to see the Yuuzhan Vong in film format. For that matter in the Sequel Trilogy I'd have liked to have seen any villainous faction emerge that wasn't just a resurrected Empire.

But Kyle Katarn was a pointless rehash of Luke with some of Han's roughness. Sod him, Rogue One's gritty war film was a lot better than anything he appeared in.

And would we want to see nonsense like the Sun Crusher appear in film format? I suppose it would be more original than Starkiller Base at least, but there are certainly rubbish parts of the EU that are almost as undeserving of the spotlight as most of the Disney dross.

 

Rest in Peace Mr. Jones. So many movies would not be the same without his commanding presence and deep, resonating voice.
