Makes Lucas look pedestrian.

Nodaisho:
That really would have changed the mood of the entire star wars setting. If the victory at the end had been Pyrrhic, that would have been much more realistic, but much less fun. Kind of like some of the Star wars EU books, I eventually had to stop reading those even when I liked a lot of them because I found out how many characters were getting killed off in the newer books.

I loved the Star Wars X-wing book series, and still do whenever I decide to re-read them. Then again, I remember hearing that part of the reason for making the series was to fix continuity issues, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was written by a couple of the best authors they had access to, so they didn't have to do it again another year down the line.

As Darth Vader died, his life flashed before his eyes.

It was cliched, tedious, and badly acted.

See, I don't mind how Star Wars ended simply because the movies were a Space Opera Fairy Tale.

I mean, it could have been great to have a more realistic and emotionally engaging ending perhaps, but I quite like how the original trilogy turned out. Kat even had the joy of watching someone who had never seen or had anything spoiled about the movies when the special editions came out in theaters. Apparently it was quite an experience for her.

I mean, she didn't even know Yoda died or that Vader was Luke's father. Apparently she had lived in a cultural bubble from birth.

Nodaisho:
I also knew barely anything about the series when I saw it, but then again, I was four. How do you not know basic things about the series if you have been alive for much longer than that?

ackblom12:
Don't know, but she had apparently made it to 14 or 15 without any knowledge at all of the Star Wars trilogy. It's kind of amazing to imagine.
