  1. Well, to be fair, the Maul example is a wee bit more extreme than Luke. Luke got a hand amputated, Maul got more of a half-off deal.

     

    Okay, then. How about General Grevious? He was blown up in the sky, fell back to the planet, and then subjected to even more damage by Count Dooku.

  2. Also, if you are going to point out that surviving ridiculous falls after recently receiving a surprise amputation is a plot hole, then the ending of TESB should have been Luke dying. :P

     

    And while I agree with you that some of the retcons caused by the show are worse than what they are replacing (poor Mandalore :(), the Maul/Ventress arc is an exception for me. Especially on the Ventress side of things. I thought how her character originally was and how her arc originally ended were quite lame.

  3. It could be possible that it is just a droid that looks like a Pit droid. I do not think they never referred to him as a Pit droid, and he looks much thicker than a regular Pit droid.

     

    As for the writers not caring, I think it has more to do with George Lucas not caring. Pretty much all of the concepts for the stories came straight from him, or at the very least approved by him. Now that he is gone, there maybe a chance that the show will start respecting the EU more. Plus, there are some writers there that obviously do care about the EU. I can name several episdodes that reference the EU. And even though it did change canon quite a bit, at least the Ventress/Maul arc acknowledged the established canon and worked a lot of it into the new story.

  4. But there is a way to identify if Ahsoka's lightsaber will end up with Grevious. All lightsaber hilts (at least those that are used by main characters) have different designs. All we have to do is compare Grevious' Episode III sabers to the ones that Ahsoka carries. I am sure that close up images of both of those exist, but I do not care to find them myself.EDIT: I lied. The green lightsaber hilts from Episode III do not match Ahsoka's.

  5. I don't think it was Ashoka, but rather another Twi'liek Jedi we've seen before. She looks at least in her thirties, maybe late twenties. I don't think Twi'lieks magically age from teenagers to full grown adults in the span of four years.Power ninja'd me, and did a hilariously better job of fact checking than me. Ignore this.
    She's a Togruta, not a Twi'lek.
  6. Family Guy, hands down. Along with the clones of that show that the creators of Family Guy put out. For something that touts itself as a comedy, I have never seen anything remotely funny in any of those shows. It seems that the people who made completely forgot what humor was a long time ago and now mistakenly believes that shocking and disgusting stuff is funny.

  7. Well, I still don't like the idea of the Prometheans being an enemy that appears in a single game before returning to the Flood (which I believe should not be in any games taking place post-Halo 3), but other threats from the Precursors would be interesting. I still think this trilogy will be Forerunner centric though, with it being the Reclaimer trilogy.

  8. So some thoughts about the ending (Major spoilers, but I'll try to be vague):

    Honestly never thought that there would be a trench run in a Halo game. I don't know what to think about the final boss fight being a quick-time event, but the other games never did boss fights that well, so this might be a good thing.As for the final two deaths, I doubt that they are really dead. The first one just sort of fell out of sight, and even with the ship nuked, there should be pretty large chunks of it floating around that the second one could have survived. Granted, having the second one survive is just wishful thinking on my part, but the first one surviving is almost certain. It wouldn't be much of a trilogy if the enemy died in the first part.

    I am thinking of reinstalling the Halo games I own for PC. Does anyone play those anymore?

    In regards to the Didact's death: It's quite possible he's really dead. He fell into the Composer (Which he was immune to, so he couldn't be composed) and blown up by a nuke. If that isn't enough, his armor was breached by a Pulse Grenade so it's unlikely he'd survive in the Vacuum, AND be missed by the Infinity search crews...Tthe potential big bad that was hinted in the series is something FAR more ancient and evil than the Didact... As for Cortana, I think she might have survived somehow, though it would be interesting to see the Chief deal with the loss.Regarding the ship, I think the prologue made it clear the entire ship was destroyed due to the Havok-class Nuke... We see that only small fragments of the ship survived, and the chief only made it because of Cortana's Hard Light shield. She even made it clear she was too badly corrupted, and I think she indicated her card was destroyed.As for the Enemy in the rest of the trilogy, look in the books. It's VERY clear that the Precursors are coming to test humanity once again, to see if they are truly worthy of the Mantle that the Forerunners failed to gain. I can totally see a second galactic invasion of the flood (or some new precursor spawn)coming to threaten all of humanity once again. The Precursors would be a perfect enemy, as they remain almost completely mysterious.

    It has been a while since I read Primordium, but didn't the last Precursor turn out to be a gravemind? That could mean that they were wiped out by the flood, somehow created the flood, or somehow became the flood. Since the flood storyline was pretty much wrapped up in Halo 3, and having the Precursors return might open that up again. I don't think that they will try and do that quite yet. Again, it has been a while since I read it, so I may be completely wrong here.As for what Jerzy said, I agree. Also, I am not entirely sure if that grenade did rupture his suit. Plus, it has been shown before that the Forerunners had teleporting technology. Plus, I am pretty sure that his armor used some sort of hardlight technology too, so he could have protected himself from the blast.

  9. Firing your LAZOR safely required you to be a long distance from anyone else, so you are now stranded in the middle of a desert.Being the only intelligent thing on my lonely planet, I have declared myself its emperor. I now wish for some loyal subjects to keep me company.

  10. You get one of the weird flavored tubes of cream cheese.I can't tell you how many times I have been disappointed by accidentally grabbing onion flavored cream cheese at the store.I am still stuck on a Sith world with no means of getting home, and I am running out of transportation methods. So I wish that I was home.
