    Count Dooku is actually a nice little case study in how tonally all over the goddamn place the Prequels were. Hey kids, it's a wacky action adventure movie! There's an alien that steps in poop! Also an old man bitterly disillusioned by bureaucratic corruption who has consequently become a terrorist and gives really boring expository discussions about how the system is failing at the top level. Don't worry, he fights a tiny green guy and it's really fun! There are flips and everything! Also at the start of the next film he gets decapitated execution style by the main character despite surrendering. Woo kids' films!

    Even with my reservations about AOTC, and other negativity surrounding it, Yoda's duel with Dooku was still exciting... ridiculousness & all; the memory of the positive opening night audience reaction to it helps with point-of-view. :p

    I remember speculating about "Star Wars 2". Still has a magical ring to it.

    And let's not get started with manipulating someone's perception or even exerting mind control under the euphemism of "Jedi mind trick". It's not exactly barbecuing someone, but still...sorta kinda morally dubious? Especially if you were to consider yourself a lightsider.

    Good to see some love for the most purely Star Wars character outside the films: Jaxxon.

    I always love love aimed at orphan child Splinter of the Mind's Eye. Many of my friends would have been bitterly disappointed that ESB bore no resemblance to it whatsoever but for the fact that ESB was beyond awesome.

    Now I imagine Obi Wan saying only that line and nothing else after Anakin burns alive.

    I tried reading some of those old SW comics, but I couldn't get past Han looking like Dirk Digler.

    Who is the person to the right of Finn, and why does she give off an annoying vibe? I've seen one pic, and I've already had enough!

    Sadly Lucasfilm rejected my bid to write bios for them when my drafts for the entry on Lando Calrissian included what they described as "excessive uses of the phrase 'literally the best' and 'the only good thing about this series, really.'"

    She must be semi-important if she gets a cover not quite all to herself. I want to know more about the stern minotaur. He seems stern.

    Alright guys what if the World Devastator or whatever that dumb things name was turned out to be financed by First Order drug smuggling networks that depended on Han Solo? This could be the ironic revelation for the second film and also continue our New Trilogy=America in Afghanistan theme.
