They should have just mixed in some recognizable species, didn't even need to be a majority.
Felpooti - DH - Echo Isles
Hack - Warrior - Echo Isles
Pootie - Hunter - Echo Isles
Yeah, a part of him, but not the same person. No Force-wielder starts of as part of the Dark Side. Their main persona has to undergo the change, even Palpatine had to succumb to his sociopathic characteristics to create his Dark Side identity, which was then dubbed Sidious and became the dominant persona.
I know where you are coming from OP, the other issue I had, on this line of thought, was no revisiting of old planets and locations. For instance Tattoine being in both the OT and prequels, but no mention of it in the new movies, even having a planet just like Tattoine, but calling it something else.
I'm the root of all that is evil, yeah, but you can call me cookie.
Well, in both EU and the new canon, the Outer Rim planets were where most of the major aliens come from. The Core planets were mostly human ruled and wealthier, while the Outer Core planets were largely non-human and poorer. Which is a huge part of why Palpatine had a lot of support in the Senate, because he was from Naboo, which was seen as being closer to the other Outer Rim planets.
I also agree that they put a lot less thought into their Star Wars movie or at least seem adamant on focusing on the things that fans are not interested. Say what you will with Lucas' skills in terms of writing or directing, but he was a pretty decent worldbuilder at least.
Well the disney film trilogies entire premise is to take the old stuff and "improve" it by making it "more" and you can't really do that with a sexy twi'lek slave girl unless you maybe gave her a third breast which would have gotten them sued by the producers of total recall. Or they made her a double slave.
The sequels were made with prequelphobia, and that includes using CGI in a much different fashion. The aliens were shown as diverse in short bursts rather in being there for the long haul. In the OT you saw most of the aliens at the Mos Eisley Cantina, and in the sequels the same is pretty much for Maz Kanata's palace and Canto Bite so far.
Disney felt the prequels were disliked so they wanted to distance themselves from them. In a weird sort of way, the backlash to the sequels is so powerful that by not touching the prequels, the prequels may now be better received.
TO FIX WOW:1. smaller server sizes & server-only LFG awarding satchels, so elite players help others. 2. "helper builds" with loom powers - talent trees so elite players cast buffs on low level players XP gain, HP/mana, regen, damage, etc. 3. "helper ilvl" scoring how much you help others. 4. observer games like in SC to watch/chat (like twitch but with MORE DETAILS & inside the wow UI) 5. guild leagues to compete with rival guilds for progression (with observer mode).6. jackpot world mobs.
The Dreaded Disney "resold our past" in ep.VII and it was one of the highest grossing movies ever made. They tried to do something "subversive" and different in ep.VIII and fans are still in tears over the damage they think has been done to their beloved franchise of sentient teddy bears, Jamaican frog-people, and sand.
Speaking of (and on-topic): The Star Wars galaxy is supposed to have a highly improbable amount of inhabited systems and variety of civilizations, isn't it? Seems like a perfect excuse to let the art department design different aliens rather than just making them stick to the same handful of established species.
Honestly it's kinda disgusting how they're trying to wash their hands of the prequels and everything they introduced. I can't really complain much because I've been let down by the sequels in a lot of ways and it doesn't seem to be stopping.
When are they gonna let Filoni take over?
I was more so pointing out that he started with the dark side of the force he never experienced the light side. There is also momin in the new canon who is shown dark at a young age and there’s even more prevalent examples in the old eu.

I don’t know when I see stuff like this in the comics It seems like a good idea to wash there hands of the prequels.
I am not sure him not dying evil is actually debatable is it?
He's there, with Yoda and Obi-wan, with all of his human flesh restored, in the glow of the light side of the force. If this scene is meant to confirm Anakins redemption, then regardless of what logic tells us; we'd have to accept that he was indeed, at least in so far as the force is concerned; redeemed no?

Sounds about right.Originally Posted by Obi-Wan Kenobe
Luke is then successful in helping his father Anakin overcome Darth Vader in his final hours, who then kills Palpetine and dies as Anakin Skywalker the good man. Which is then why he can appear as a light ghost (good ghost? Force ghost? Do we just call them Force ghosts now? )

These new comics are part of the new continuity? They're not part of the old EU now Legends or whatever they're calling it? If they are part of the new continuity are they any good (assuming you've read 'em)? Could use some good SW stuff in my life again.
Yeah, George Lucas got a lot of shit for his bad writing, but he was more creative when selecting more diverse looking aliens from his art team. Disney's aliens all look the same.
