Non-film material produced prior to 2014 was collectively known as the Star Wars Expanded Universe (SWEU or EU). It was later rebranded to Star Wars Legends and declared non-canonical to the franchise, with the exception of the CGI-animated The Clone Wars film and TV series of the same name. Most works produced after April 2014 are part of the official canon as defined by Lucasfilm.

Pretty certain that's just because Samuel Jackson wanted a purple light saber.
By the time you add in everything that people want that ‘wouldn’t take too long’, you’d be making the film several times longer. In a time when long-form dramas on TV arrive a season at a time and people binge on them, it strikes me that people are forgetting that there needs to be an economy of storytelling in feature films.Dinostar77 wrote:It wouldnt have taken too long to show rey recovering kylo rens saber, modifiying it to add a green crystal with his red to produce a yellow light.
Unless that colour coding is in the TV series I haven’t watched, it’s been ditched.“Dinostar77” wrote:Which is indicative of a jedi sentienal class. There are three classes of jedi in the lore. Thats just me being a nerd.

And the best thing about the movie?
When lando is in his little vehicle and knocks on the driver door to tell the guy to go somewhere, the door opens and this dumbfuck puppet, the coolest thing in the movie, answers it and goes "OKAY". Honestly, I was howling at how great that was.
