I'll take your word for it. I was never particularly invested in the EU lore. :)
<sarcastic statement>: surely some robotic assassins are worth remembering
 
I said that I was never particularly interested, not that I wasn't interested at all. :)
 
It does look identical to IGFarben-88. I suspect he's the same droid under an assumed identity.
 
Definitely. I was sure they were the other corrupted pupils of Luke and hence lightsaber wielders. But noooo.
 
If all of them have dinky laser swords then they are not as identifiable and collectible as they would be if they each had a different weapon.
 
Too late in the game for me to care about them, tbh.

I fear they may be the Praetorian Guards of Ep. IX. Cool design, but ultimately forgettable.

They should had been the minor antags instead of Captain Phasma in the first two movies, or you know, AROUND REN. Why the fudge they weren't even in the first movie is beyond me. Rey or Ren will cut them down in one 'EPIC AMAZING BEAUTIFUL EPIC' fight scene.
 
You can justify not having them for most of the first movie because they are maybe leading First Order forces elsewhere in the galaxy, but you cant justify not showing them at all ever until now, I feel.
 
The little bit I've read and heard on the subject is indicating Disney missed their mark with Galaxy's Edge. The rides aren't plentiful enough to attract kids, attractions like 'build your own lightsaber' are also too expensive for kids. The highly detailed worldbuilding/walkthrough, a strength of Disney Imagineers, is more targeted at adults and there aren't enough adults who are willing to go to Disney World for an adult activity.
I get a price break for being an OC local but even with that, the park is so goddamn expensive. I'm a pretty big Star Wars fan but not enough to pay admission.

Or you can't count on them making for a meaningful contribution to the plot. They haven't had their character/relation-to-other-entities established, so that will all have to be done in the movie, and then have them dispatched right after.

Maybe I'll be wrong. In any case, I'll have to find some way to weave them into my elaborate theory about the plot of IX. Bleh.
 
The subtext of the Knights of Ren seems to more resemble a LARP club centered around leather fetish BDSM stuff. Real Lightsabers would not be not safe toys for that kind of activity.

Kylo might have been exposed to this at a young age. His father Han Solo was dealing in literal Japanese tentacle monsters in TFA (Could Saw have been a customer of his back in the day?) and Chewbacca Sr. watches VR porn openly in the family living room (technically still could be canon, Disney hasn't clarified yet)

Of course the Jedi are celibate and prudish so it seems like Luke couldn't handle Kylo's "darkside" lifestyle choices and actually pushed him to outright join the 1st Order.
 
Lmao I love it

I thought one of the aspects of Luke's order is that 'being strung up tight *******s just bottles up emotions unhealthy like, so go ahead, fudge and have kids'.
 
I don't know whether to :bounce: for joy, or be :scared:. I mean how many more OT characters is Disney planning on killing before the end. *There's at least one big one rumored already.*


He better be some retired five-star Air Marshal looking to help than someone they put right back in the cockpit. Like Wedge comes around with the whole Corellian Flight Academy he helped rear.
