This book wasn't even planned probably until 2021, and it doesn't make ep9 better... It actually makes it even worse

@@laloomartinez9997 Can you actually come up with why or are you just doing the whole "Star Wars Fan angrily overreacts!" thing again?

@@Mr-Rinn gotta love the radio silence

Its Rey Palpatine

@@zekinumanoglu3152 Palpatine wasn’t her mentor genius. And her father never had the last name, might not have even had any last name.

When he flirted w the dark side he aged but good deeds made him look younger. It explains palpatine and why yoda and obiwan always looks the same 😂

It's a nice compromise for those fans who still wish that the ghost pre-2004 remained canon.

You random stranger, are speaking words of huge wisdom

When he showed up, it brought a dumb smile to my face that he’s in more books and etc. he was probably my favorite part of The Battlefront 2 campaign

@@DarthRelkew I did too! Although I was listening to it at work so I had to chill out my smile but I was cheering on the inside. I've been saying since I played the game that we need a shriv and Lando team up show!

If only Rey actually had an arc...

@@thomas8431 She did. They just fumbled it in episode 9. In 7 and the beginning of 8, she’s looking for a place to belong and hoping that someone like Han or Luke will give her a purpose. She longs to reunite with her parents for the same reason. Then we find out that she’s a nobody. Nobody is going to tell her that she’s special or give her a place to belong, and she finally admits that. So episode 9 should have been about accepting her own worth and self actualizing. Instead, we find out that she actually is super important because of Palpatine Genes, her parents actually loved her, and she’s upset because her grandpa she never met was a bad dude. That’s just messy.

@@thedapperdolphin1590 What do you mean “should have”?

@@thedapperdolphin1590 It makes no sense for Rey to accept the name “Palpatine,” when the movie is about her finding her own name and identity.

@@gamestation2690 Same could be said for "Skywalker"

dude it will calm down as ppl forget the meltdown ppl had with the prquels

Also "San" meaning "without" and "Tekka" meaning "tech." So, Lore Without Technology is his name, more or less. Basically he derives his values and philosophy from ancient artifacts, and not modern technology. His name is very on the nose, like Darth Sidious.

Can't wait to play as the character again in the KOTOR Remake.

Gabriel Rocha, omnipresent

@@cyserro14 😂

@@MrMattyG About that

@@DexXael 😭😭

Yeah the book author has confirmed this in a tweet that he took the name from Doctor Who.

@Rough Collies Rock They can always have Revan to be nonbinary

It’s mainly about leaving things ambiguous because they don’t know what they’re doing with Revan’s story yet.

@@thedapperdolphin1590 His story already exists in form of a perfect game. They can only do it worse.

@@KaminoKatie wonder how you would deal with the exile "surik" gender, unlike revan, The exile has no iconic look.

@@thatkotorguy422 maybe they could retroactively create an iconic look (never played kotor 2 so unless that would break the lore of it and/or kotor 1, besides you could always pull the narrative phrase, "The Exile's existance faded into the background of the people's memories and eventually lost to time." To keep the gender ambigous and player actions hidden if they would show up in modern day Star Wars).

Yeah that's what I would think but now he said that it made an appearance in Legends in 70s its not.

@@DanBen07 Yeah I do watch that interview as well.

Yes! A friend talked me into finally reading Rogue Squadron last fall, with the result that I may or may not have squealed when they name-dropped "Valin Halcyon" in the third episode of Kenobi

To be fair we didn't get padme's name for like 16 years later.

@@matilda0410 yeah, but that was a different time

"They" and "Their" are plural pronouns, so I hate when they're used in singular form. It just sounds wrong! If the gender is unknown or yet to be revealed, the character is gender fluid or nonbinary, or something else like that; just use "he/she" [or even "(s)he"] and "his/her." It's still pretty awkward but ultimately sounds better. Even "it" would be an improvement despite how dehumanizing it is.

@@Compucles Why would you use gendered pronouns for someone who doesn't fit into the gender binary? That would be like me calling someone who identified as male "her"/"she" If you don't like it, fine but have the common decency to respect how a person chooses to identify, and not what suits you best

@@Compucles "God send every one their heart's desire." - Much Ado About Nothing, 1598 "They" and "their" have been used a singular pronouns for hundreds of years. Oxford traces it back to at least the 14th century. I guarantee you, you use it all the time yourself without noticing. If you're writing an academic paper and want to use "he/she", by all means, go ahead, but in casual speech people have been using the more natural "they" for almost all of the history of the English language.

@@Compucles amazing, every word of what you just said was wrong

@@Compucles what would you do if someone lost their wallet?

What the heck is going on here

@@patrickramseyart Bots are evolving.

Iv Google the name of the planet and the first thing that came up was a Star Wars explained video about it from the game. Lol.

@@DanBen07 I'm surprised I still remembered the planet after all these years from playing that game as a child...

No, he's just an insufferable tool who keeps failing. Not a gripe that is, I enjoyed seeing him constantly fail lol

Del Rey said "To clarify, movie novelizations are canon where they align with what is seen on screen in the 6 films and the Clone Wars animated movie."

Yes they are. I read The Phantom Menace under the Disney logo with no Legends label on it.

on the cover? That's Kiza

first

You're a legend, man

Yes, really.

Yeah I gotta be honest, that was one of the only disappointing things to me. I really like that it’s Darth Noctyss’ saber, but I don’t like that it’s still curved shaped. It feels deceiving because they made it straight on the cover and the concept art for Kiza.

@@jordanmarcial3670 well, she did use another saber before the curved one in the book.

Ya….I don’t like that

Even Lumiya's lightwhip from Legends makes more sense!

and no one cares
