Myrddin Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 If Serkis isn't playing a blaster wielding chimpanzee riding atop a charging tauntaun in this film I will be sorely disappointed. Sorely. What if he plays a tauntaun riding a giant ape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First of My Name Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 It seems unlikely to me that the Empire would follow a non-human... Perchance he's some kind of avatar of Palpatine? A holocron that's being worshiped and still giving orders to Dark Jedi fanatics? If that's the case, it'd make more sense that Ian McDiamid would return for the role.

ab aeterno Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 If that's the case, it'd make more sense that Ian McDiamid would return for the role. For what it's worth McDiarmid, as part of his awesome SWC2015 panel session made a pretty strong point of saying that Palpatine is dead. It's also worth bearing in mind that (TFA Spoilers) A lot of rumours suggest that Kylo Ren is claiming to be Vader reborn, so I wouldn't expect them to have two characters pretending to be (or being,) the villains from IV-VI.

I agree that that would be a weird plot choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werthead Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 To be fair, Dark Empire was almost completely ignored by the EU as well, apart from Kevin J. Anderson's vague mentions of it and then they quickly moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the infamous lack of quality control in the EU, that really says a lot. :lol: To be sure, there's a hell of a lot from the EU that I absolutely love, and I will miss, but there was probably, on balance, even more crap that I'm glad to see the back of.

underarmsauce Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Disney just pulled the first major curveball in the new canon of a core character's history.

ab aeterno Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 And this is why I hate comics. The Vader stuff with the lightsabers was bad enough. We got rid of this sort of crap when the EU got dumped. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Is a comic. Wait until the next issue. It will turn out that it's part of some elaborate con they were running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and I still find it hard to believe the comics are canon. They will be until they get in the way of a story in a future film as far as I'm concerned. I like the idea it's a con as it'll be funny to see speculator's be stuck with a load of comics that won't be worth anything in a month :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
