My favorite scene in ROTJ is when the A-Wing smashes into the Executor's bridge. It's somehow extremely dumb, awesome, darkly funny, and impressive at once.

The reactions of the Executor bridge crew and the A-Wing pilot to their imminent doom are the cherry on the cake.

I always liked that scene too for some reason.

Fighter craft pretty much beat everything in star wars.


It was a cool scene, especially after seeing the comic about the A-wing pilot, that was amazing.

There was a comic? What's it called?

And you rage and scream and reach through the Force to crush the shadow who has destroyed you, but you are so far less now than what you were, you are more than half machine, you are like a painter gone blind, a composer gone deaf, you can remember where the power was but the power you can touch is only a memory, and so with all your world-destroying fury it is only droids around you that implode, and equipment, and the table on which you were strapped shatters, and in the end, you cannot touch the shadow. In the end you don't even want to. In the end, you do not even want to. In the end, the shadow is all you have left. Because the shadow understands you, the shadow forgives you, the shadow gathers you unto itself—And within your furnace heart, you burn in your own flame.

Booo! Hisss!

Seriously, that's actually okay, though. Much better than I'd expect from a film novelisation.

The RotS novelization is seen to be one of if not the best Star Wars novels ever written by many of the more hardcore fans.

What if she shows up in CW Season 7?

Disney's profits for their Consumer Products & Interactive Media division are down by 16% compared to two years ago.

According to Disney, this is in large part due to reduced sales in Star Wars merchandise.

Interesting stuff.

Their merch is warming shelves at my local Walmart last I checked.

I mean, annual reports of worldwide sales are probably more trustworthy then anecdotal evidence. Not only that, but merchandise can be "warming shelves" and simply not be selling.

"Crowns are inherited, kingdoms are earned."

Though, obviously, only if you've inherited a crown first. For which you have to be a member of the right race and family. But it's okay, you'll make some vaguely anti-racist noises.

So this episode basically peddles the message that a movement for liberation is clearly influenced by some outside, malignant influence, rather than systemic injustice, and that the oppressed must submit to their oppressors in order to repel that influence. It presents a situation where attempts to liberate oneself will only result in a worsening of their position.

Easily the most conservative cartoon episodes I've ever seen.
