            >exar kun "lore" without the comics

            Also even Plageus said "lmao just like exar kun" when he saw it.

              Plagueis book was such a ride. I'm almost delightful to see how Disney will ruin his story in new Acolyte series

                From what I've seen it looks like neither him nor his own master is in it. So I guess nuPlageus is a strong black/asian woman/man.

                We can only hope it won't be about Plagueis. Disney hates aliens.

      what's up with the insignia though? don't recognize that? is that TOS or some of the newer crap after DS9?

    It was in the trailer and lots of promotional material, so probably little to no reaction.

      This. People had already seen it a million times before the movie was released.

    it was on every commercial, coke bottle, mcdonalds, etc. everyone knew, so its not like it was a surprise. the issue was the guy they sold the movie on in all ads was in it for 5 seconds total and we saw half of that in the trailers.

    It was in all the trailers and promotional stuff so people had no reaction. Duel of the Fates is the most hype SW song though. Still gives me goosebumps.

    Everything was in the trailer.
    Weird Al’s song about the movie which came out a month before basically nailed the plotline. It was still awesome
