    I'm not sure it does, because the prior movies didn't establish anything about Jabba squeezing moisture farmers or otherwise being anything more than a gangster that Han owed money too, the thing about him being this intergalactic crime lord was an EU thing that came later. Also if you're...

    As far as I know, that shouldn't have done anything, most modern aircraft can easily withstand a lighting strike without issue, there's no reason a spaceship should be more vulnerable to that. Per the ROTS novelization, that is explicitly not the case, Sheev was just straight out losing (by...

    While I generally hated it, there are two things that I did find amusing: 1. Palpatine has not yet learned that the "now watch as your friends lose a space battle" trick does not work. 2. Palpatine has also not learned that when you shoot lightning at a jedi and they block it with a lightsaber...
