No more like the utter ridiculousness of your posts surpasses what a normal person would call sarcasm especially when it sounds utterly belligerent and excessively nonsensical. To be honest all you were missing was a random pepe in your flag.
Then again such confusing borderline rage posting must be a behavior exclusive to Ornithorhynchus anatinus.

But isnt korriban still canon? And the original Sith and their tombs and all that? Did guys like Naga Sadow just get retconned to being full human?

It is, though i believe the canon name is Moraband iirc think lucas changed it to that for the clone wars show.

Naga Shadow and stuff tho are legends material. Bane is canon though, he showed up as force ghost kind of thing in clone wars too i believe. Those are the episodes ive not seen tho so im not sure.

Yes, I watched it, Bane did show up as a force ghost.

Like the old EU of the eighties and nineties, the new canon doesn’t talk much about the past. About anything before the Clone Wars really.

They’ve dropped a few hints at the old EU. Korriban is still the ancestral Sith homeworld for example, and Darth Bane still started the rule of two.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they just sort of imported Old Republic lore at some point, since it’s still technically ongoing.

Anyway, I'm checking out of the misogynist pit again. I'm not cognitively impaired enough to deal with people as smart as you and Vass any more.

Oh grow the fuck up.

But hey maybe you will come back in another 2 1/2 months to complain about something you imagined again. We can make a holiday about it and make bets.

Ah shit, I don't have enough money for this.

Yeah, the change was definitely Morabad than good.

Apparently Lucas himself liked Moraband better.

He liked a lot of bad ideas during his career.

And no one around him with the good sense to question them or stop them. He's like Gene Roddenberry, but with no handler to stop the insanity.

There is literally nothing wrong with calling it Moraband.

Besides, none of his ideas were bad enough to kill people's interest in Star Wars, even during the Prequels.

It's what happens when one person is in charge of everything during the creation of a movie.

Idk, would you want to play the Force Unleashed where Starkiller would be called Darth Icky instead?

The words of someone who never invested much in the games or lore. If Korriban became a lost world with all traces of the old Sith razed from its surface and upon its rediscovery was named Moraband then I would be ok with it. But renaming such an iconic planet in the franchise for no reason whilst keeping a significant chunk of its lore is ridiculous.

His EXISTENCE is canon BECAUSE of the TCW episodes. His story as told in the Darth Bane Trilogy of novels is not, unfortunately.

You are aware that names of areas can change over time, correct?

This just seems like pointless whining, tbh.

"Moraband" isn't anything like "Icky" so I don't get your point.

The words of somebody without a stick up their ass about specific names. This isn't the weird copyright shit with GW where they give everything "new" half-assed names.

But renaming such an iconic planet in the franchise for no reason whilst keeping a significant chunk of its lore is ridiculous.

Say, wasn't he #1?

As for Moraband/Korriban, I do think Korriban sounds better, and I get why it would irk people, but it's not that big a deal.

Imagine if they changed the name of Smitty Werbenjagermanjenson to Bob for no explained or discernible reason and they were referred to as Bob for ever after. Would you be ok with this?

Yes.

Because he'd still be #1!

I kind of agree with Pret. This is a bit of an overreaction huh?

First of all, locations do change names. People generally don’t.

Second, Lucas acknowledged in universe that the planet could have taken on many names over the years. (Click on the images for trivia.)

The first Galactic Republic wrote:I kind of agree with Pret. This is a bit of an overreaction huh?

I mean, it is what it is. Lucas loved to add or change things that weren't wanted. You got used to it as a Star Wars fan. Still doesn't change the fact that many of them were unnecessary and annoying.

That is where you are wrong. It is a massive fucking deal I will complain relentlessly until my ideas for canon are the only ideas for canon.

Thank you Ism <3
Though to be honest if I did have creative influence in Star Wars I would only fuck with small things because despite thinking I have great ideas how to make the Sith less ridiculous among other things I feel I would royally fuck up.
