Kylo doesn’t trust Hux because he committed patricide? *Ironic*

@alliewholp1362 6 лет назад

This made me literally laugh out loud.

@michaelstankowski835 6 лет назад

No one has mentioned that the line Poe Dameron says about being the spark to light the fire to burn down the First Order was first said by Cham Syndulla in the book Dark Lords of the Sith.

@covertrabbit8867 6 лет назад

i thought i had heard that before.

@chrissonofpear3657 6 лет назад

I didn't know that. I skipped that novel.

@WaffleLover-my1hi 6 лет назад

Its a great read. Action packed thriller that involves a plan organized by Cham Syndulla to take out Vader and Sidious. Sure we know he doesn't succeed but it is still had me on the edge of my seat.

@swer762 6 лет назад

+Michael Stankowski Do you know which page was it exactly?

@michaelstankowski835 6 лет назад

+SW er not sure. I listened to the audiobook on yt.

@SoLinkSmash 6 лет назад

One thing I found super interesting in the book is that the hyperspace coordinates Holdo jumps to to destroy the Supremacy were actually inputed by Poe when Poe was in charge of the Raddus’ bridge. By the time Holdo used them, their destination had changed from in front of them to behind them, and Holdo had no more time to make other calculations, so saving the fleet actually ended up being a combined effort between Poe and Holdo.

@DoctorXander 6 лет назад

If that had been in the movie it would have saved what I disliked about that moment

@bluestormpony 6 лет назад

same

@MultiTcherry 6 лет назад

DoctorXander I think it is done in the movie

@Cmmdre977 4 месяца назад

So Poe’s escape plan was to turn around and fly right towards the enemy?

@felixgourlaouen 6 лет назад

After having seen Solo , it’s clear that the personality of the falcon that makes dirty jokes is L3! I really enjoy your videos, well done by the way!

@OhItsLynx 6 лет назад

I really feel bad sometimes seeing the other more 'clickbait' channels have more subscribers and views that you. I just want to say keep doing what you're doing. It's excellent and very well put together.

@c-hildy 6 лет назад

Great movie. Great book!

@MultiTcherry 6 лет назад

agreed

@joeiorio9654 6 лет назад

Tahj Vader Agreed

@chrissonofpear1384 5 лет назад

Pretty good, although uneven at times.

@bullrun2772 3 года назад

Agreed

@adeadphish7931 6 лет назад

This book emphasizes why I love the EU. I love seeing how the various bits of lore are all connected and everything in the galaxy links to another part of it. Also, in hind sight, the three AI brains in the falcon feels like a hint at plot points to come in Solo

@battledroid224 6 лет назад

Love these little facts about SW. It richens the lore and makes the SW universe an immersive place.

@EntertainmentMan132 6 лет назад

That's why I'm glad this book came out a few months after the movie. The norm for novelizations is usually to release them before or on the same day as the movie. However, this usually leads either to inconsistencies with the final movie, or to the novelizations being pretty average. So I was glad that Jason Fry had extra time to make the book consistent, good, and have all these extra details. I hope that future novelizations will follow this one's example.

@cjaiezza 6 лет назад

The eeny meeny miney mo, (or however it's written) was a bit silly in my opinion.

@Alex-ji6ob 6 лет назад

NathanielRoarkProductions Good for us, Solo’s novelization is basically doing just that

@SineEyed 6 лет назад

Yeah plus writing the novelization after the fact means the author can go in and do some damage control - making sense out of things that made no sense, adding details and tidbits to try and patch plot holes, basically doing whatever it takes to smooth the edges of a nonsensical screenplay..

@Turtle152 6 лет назад

I think the idea of Luke envisioning an alternate life might've been borrowed from Scorcese's "The Last Temptation of Christ," another story of an initially reluctant man who eventually sacrifices himself for the greater good.

@KrypticElement 6 лет назад

I love the possibility of Inferno Squad bringing in Starhawks as reinforcements, that would be awesome to see in EP 9

@MultiTcherry 6 лет назад

Agreed

@Enivri 4 года назад

9:24 that kind of makes more sense on how a droid can’t be used for this manoeuvre as droids can’t turn off safety measures and programme overrides. So that means only people can do this. And people don’t usually think to turn off safety measures.

@LoboNox 6 лет назад

Finn was supposed to use that axe to cut Phasma's hand off like in episodes 2 and 5

@joethahobo 6 лет назад

unfortunately they deleted that scene

@allenmurallo6795 6 лет назад

Lobo Nox1313 And 3, and 8.

@reid9664 6 лет назад

Lobo Nox1313 When snoke died the lightsaber cut off his hand

@cjaiezza 6 лет назад

Really?? I'll have to watch for that!

@smoldream2908 6 лет назад

Christopher Aiezza yeah, his hand is left on the throne

@TRIP5_GAMING 6 лет назад

That's awesome... All of the connective tissue is the novelization of the film makes me love it all the more .. This is why we're fans .. This is the stuff I live for ... Thanks Star Wars .. For making me love you more amd more with every addition to cannon! ... And thanks SWE... For always being there to flesh this stuff out for us... The fandom is strong with this one! Keep up the great work!!!

@MultiTcherry 6 лет назад

I'm with you

@ort94041 6 лет назад

So Luke’s green saber is on Ach-to. Doesn’t that mean Rey could go back and pick it up, maybe make herself a new saber with it’s kyber crystal. Have some Luke force ghost visions while she is at it.

@Janoha17 6 лет назад

I think the kyber crystal from Anakin's lightsaber is still functional, and Rey will built a saberstaff, bridging the gap between her skills with the quaterstaff and her inexperience with a lightsaber.

@teamcybr8375 6 лет назад

J17 I like this idea.

@brettgb1314 6 лет назад

Kylo now knows where Luke was. It would probably be dangerous to go back there.

@LK. 6 лет назад

Yes.. the novel also implies that the caretakers expect to have visitors in the future.

@WaffleLover-my1hi 6 лет назад

Refresh my memory, when did Kylo figure out Luke's location. I know Snoke knows but he is kinda dead. Was it in the novelization?

@FritzFoxPirate 6 лет назад

6:29 Rey's Declassified desert survival guide

@hammer8771 6 лет назад

I have a new found respect for Fry. Always thought he was more of a children's author but now I see he's much more than that.

@chrissonofpear3657 6 лет назад

He's been working his way up. He began as reference author, like with the Essential Atlas book.

@joelbaumgarten8436 6 лет назад

So I guess one of the droid brains on the Falcon was...SPOILERS L3 from Solo. She might be that one who likes romantic gossip and dirty jokes....

@user-Jay178 6 лет назад

This types of videos are interesting.

@VincoMalus 6 лет назад

Amazing episode!! 🏆👏

@simmyjester 10 месяцев назад

It's so nice when writers in giant collaborative 'verses like Star Wars make an effort to keep continuity.

@elementaljedi9335 6 лет назад

So we could see Shriv in episode 9.

@SciFiFan2012 6 лет назад

I still think it's weird that in order to properly tell a complete story, a film has to have secondary material to explain things and at the same time have more questions. I mean, reading novels and playing video games wasn't necessary to understand the OT.

@TheTripleAce3 6 лет назад

I have a question for you, is Poe's booster the first time we've seen a chemical engine, specifically a solid rocket motor, in Star Wars (outside of rocket launchers) as a propulsion method over ion engines?

@chrp90 6 лет назад

TheTripleAce3 what about Yoda s Exile Capsel?

@TheTripleAce3 6 лет назад

Thanks for pointing that out. Not a solid rocket motor by the looks of it, but liquid chemical nonetheless.

@RR4711 6 лет назад

Did anyone else notice there were a lot of references to the First Order having something else big super weapon or super ship still hidden in the unknown regions?

@TheEnecca 6 лет назад

oh no please dont do this again

@lucasa9480 6 лет назад

Find Orion there's always a bigger fish

@elijahblechman8633 6 лет назад

what do you guys think it is

@lucasa9480 6 лет назад

Elijah Blechman no idea but I'm still excited

@WaffleLover-my1hi 6 лет назад

I thought it was interesting that they said Palpatine had made infrastructure in the unknown regions like shipyards and outposts. That partially answers how the first order got all their ships.

@dresdenvalareo1002 6 лет назад

I wouldn't mind seeing a Character Video on Poe Dameron. We know so little of him from the Movies still, yet he is probably the character from the new trilogy that we have the most background on from books and comics Though, I can understand holding back since his story hasn't been concluded yet really

@teresajenkins9056 6 лет назад

Very good video on movies as well as books in between...very good

@scifigamer5543 6 лет назад

by far best star wars youtuber, not shading the others, but your ideas and thoughts on star wars often match my own

@BenC_Builds_Bricks 6 лет назад

Have the book on order but know there's some things I just won't spot like you do! Thanks for the video!

@auntvesuvi3872 6 лет назад

Thanks, Alex! I also like the tidbit suggesting Maz Kanata's ability to see past lives suggests reincarnation is possible within the Force.

@Fischi1308 6 лет назад

Perhaps some scenes from the book had a positive effect of movie. I don't understand why RJ has deleted the Phasma and Finn Scene. I like the movie more the Force Awakens but there are some things RJ could make better.

@Janoha17 6 лет назад

The primary reason: Pacing.

@teamcybr8375 6 лет назад

J17 Yeah. It was a good scene, but it absolutely wrecked the pace.

@allenmurallo6795 6 лет назад

The Brennan I highly doubt that it would've ruined the pacing if this was kept in.

@mylesgaddy8867 6 лет назад

J17 Canto Bight is in the movie, so clearly Rian Johnson is not concerned about pacing.

@teamcybr8375 6 лет назад

MAGnet Hauser That's different. Inserting a very slow paced scene in the middle of the film's climax kills the pace in a totally different way.

@marcellbiddle8632 6 лет назад

Can you do a episode of the outbound flight project

@charliefoxtrot3980 6 лет назад

The pic at 2:48 should be plastered everywhere so fanboys quit whining about "bombs falling in space!"

@unchainedfilms1328 6 лет назад

All of this should have been in the movie.

@pout6038 6 лет назад

i mean, leia and an ewok look pretty similar.

@marcosbravo9645 6 лет назад

super jedi player poor Han, just being romantic and poetic, doing his best, thinking "it's not that bad, I just need time to finish it" and Leia shows up like "what are you making, an ewok?"

@tryhardgaminghd3166 6 лет назад

Oof

@reid9664 6 лет назад

super jedi player I wanna like your comment but since your over 100 likes I just don’t think I need to lol Confusing lol

@thechairman74 6 лет назад

Maybe it's because he's picturing Leia in that Ewok dress and getting confused. By the way, why would they have a human sized dress anyway?

@captainclovian5247 6 лет назад

Jason Fry is so amazing.

@pabond008 6 лет назад

I thought Poe's reaction when Holdo is announced as Leia's successor indicated he thought command would pass to him. Nice to see this confirmed in the book, because I don't think many people picked up on that from his body language in that scene.

@kaleeshmatriarch455 6 лет назад

After watching TLJ for the first time and seeing the mix of GOOD and BAD moments embedded in the film, maybe the novel adaptation of TLJ will be a decent book to read. Since connections, references, and Easter eggs to the ST [Sequel Trilogy] are finally captured, I am deeply and happily satisfied. NICE job!! Jason Fry has finally been added to my list of favorite Star Wars authors---and meticulous, as well. 🙂😀😎👍👍🌠📚

@j.moon98 5 лет назад

10:47 I guess that's L3?

@3710stormwolf 6 лет назад

It also recanonized Coranu Radiation and showed that the Raddus wasn't yet in hyperspace when it hit the supremacy.

@birawaich 6 лет назад

I'm always wondering how they keep track of all the events and characters: do the authors just know and check all the possible books when they are unsure, or is the some mighty fine database that contains all the characters with the events in chronological order with a reference to where this event was stated/shown or referenced?

@joethahobo 6 лет назад

Shriv for episode 9!

@ProfessorGamez 6 лет назад

The three droid brains of the Falcon were actually first mentioned in the Star Wars Sourcebook published by West End Games in 1987. It's nice to see such an obscure reference become canon.

@JanPeverell 6 лет назад

So glad there are still true Imperials who know that the First Order is full of incompetent, inexperienced wannabes who try to grasp for glory that does not belong to them. Not at all glad to hear Inferno Squad mentioned in relation to the New Republic and/or Resistance; I will need years to leave that BF2 campaign behind me.

@betaraybillfan1750 6 лет назад

ImperialistOpinions Story wasn’t even bad smh

@cinemagoose 6 лет назад

I believe that that dreadnought commander was an old imperial.

@JanPeverell 6 лет назад

Beta Ray Bill Fan If you take the story for itself, it was perhaps not bad but also not really good. It was simply lacking in execution, devoted too much time to the heroes of the Rebellion when it should have focused on the members of Inferno Squad. Add to that disappointment over the predictable course of the campaign despite all advertisement and interviews, and that I personally am not a fan of what happens post-Endor in canon period, and you get where my lack of enthusiasm comes from.

@indistraction5414 6 лет назад

Yup. The Fulminatrix commander Captain Canady was an imperial vet who also happened to loath Hux. Captain Peavey (the guy who's by Hux's side for most of TLJ) also hates Hux as can be seen throughout the film with his eye-rolls, side eyes, and death glares. Both respected the chain of command too much to protest though and even if they did, I doubt Snoke cared. He seemed to like having young, insecure officers at the top so he could easily manipulate them because his creepy prune ass was just that arrogant.

@JanPeverell 6 лет назад

i Tqzy I apologize. I thought people would have it easier to understand "Rebel propaganda speak". Most of them sadly know no better.

@kc9eow 6 лет назад

Rose telling Finn his little round droid was hiding in the toilet was hilarious! That whole scene with Rose trying to teach Finn to fly I really wish had been in the movie.

@dresdenvalareo1002 6 лет назад

I also liked how they explained in the beginning of the book why the resistance fleet was low on fuel

@tampamovieguy8565 6 лет назад

I appreciate your positivity.

@kevreads3269 6 лет назад

Liked this!

@paolocostaimori 6 лет назад

One of these facts make me sad. I was expecting that Kylo actually took Luke's lightsaber and bled it's crystal (don't know if it's a Sith technique or a Dark Side technique) to make his lightsaber (instead of of his own crystal). Book seens fun anyway. Can't wait to read. Nice video as always

@StuartLugsden 6 лет назад

Ben used his own lightsaber.

@chrissonofpear3657 6 лет назад

He gets a good mention in the forthcoming Rebel Files book, as having fought at Ord Tiddel. He also appears briefly in Moving Target.

@john11719 6 лет назад

Still not going to make me like the direction of new canon, but it makes it more tolerable. The new canon outside of the movies are well done, I just wish that we can now get an explanation on Luke.

Didn't Rey and Poe meet in TFA novelization ?

@alexintheabstract 6 лет назад

Lord Shi'mon when there are any inconsistencies, trust the movies as canon more so than the books. The TFA Novelization came out prior to the movie.

@csquared2242 6 лет назад

Lord Shi'mon It was retconned, things in this book probably will be too

@Lord_Imperius 6 лет назад

Aha, ok. That explains it.

@chrissonofpear3657 6 лет назад

And the junior novelization had that scene too...

@thestrikewyvern2245 6 лет назад

huh, well that's a interesting mentioned, didn't expect that they mentioned Starhawks battleships, hmm i guess more were build after the Battle Of Jakku, though if Inferno Squad were send to the Outer Rim to find allies those allies have some serious firepower

@CyanKash 6 лет назад

I truly love this channel. But I also truly don't understand how you're so comfortable with all fan service being marginalized to the books and comics. I wish I could feel the same.

@UraiFen44444444 6 лет назад

@lukerope1906 6 лет назад

I'm really curious the true whereabouts of Luke's lightsaber. In HIS version of his confrontation with Kylo. When you see him climb out of the rubble and kneel besides R2, there is no lightsaber on his belt. Unless he dug it out after that. So I wonder if it's actually Canon that the Caretakers have it?

@unitedpretzeltwists7480 6 лет назад

@rodrigovasquez9322 6 лет назад

Can't wait for these to get ignored by the next movie like the last jedi did for the novel for TFA

@MLineups 6 лет назад

rodrigo vasquez number one thing that annoyed me is that Rey and Poe’s first introduction is retconned. So annoying

@josephyml 6 лет назад

the TFA novelization was partly based on deleted scenes. plus, poe and rey's meeting in TLJ is far more thematically important than an awkward, throwaway hug in TFA

@OniLink96 6 лет назад

Jake Skywalker He'd never met her, so it makes sense. Rey is a neutral-sounding enough name. Also, to the OP, I don't think that the TLJ novel will get retconned due to Jason Fry being able to work with the final version of the script. Additionally, I can't think of anything that was retconned from the TFA novelization besides Poe meeting Rey.

@heidifedor 6 лет назад

I think Luke’s “Last Temptation Of Christ” moment allows Legends to be part of Canon, from a Certain Point of View.
