    George Lucas was notoriously ambivalent and dismissive towards the EU. The one character he was super stoked to get into his version of the sequels?

    Darth Talon. IYKYK, otherwise do a quick search once you’re not at the office.

    My man has some issues to sort out, or maybe he already has, and he has some specific kinks he wants to evangelize.

      At the end of Episode 2 Padmé gets more and more revealing clothes. First she loses her poncho and then her jumpsuit gets torn to reveal her midriff.

      At the time I thought it was a clever reference to the same happening to Sigourney Weaver in Galaxy Quest. Now I’m not so sure.

      Woah. She’s like a female version of Darth Maul, but without any clothes on.

      Kinda badass, NGL

        Scrolling around on her Wookieepedia article I’m most entertained by the fact that they designed this comic book character to go around mostly naked in horny fanservice poses while giving her elaborate full-body tattoos that no two artists would ever be able to draw the same.

      “So my vision for the series is that it’s just a fun kid’s show. Also Leia in a tiny metal bikini.”

        “Also very important for family entertainment reasons that the slave lady Leia replaces had her boobs literally out of her skimpy costume and flopping around when she got murdered.”

          To be fair, I guess I did pause that scene a bunch as a child.
