I'm not attacking you mate. But do you notice what I'm saying? "it would've been good, if they'd done what I say here"

technically most of gilder's posts about goio are that too.

Heck if they would have had Kyle Katarn on screen for even a brief cameo, I'd have been satisfied with 7. But no, Disney blows chunks.

I'm just trying to fugue out your taste in movies here, so don't take this personally, but to you, the only difference between a satisfying movie and one that "blows chucks" is a fanservice cameo?
Squidslinger Gilder:
Katarn showing up would have meant they went with a much more interesting extended universe. Read between the lines. Heck same if they added Mara Jade or Thrawn. I just use Katarn as an example. Gotta take that example and understand what it really meant. Hence my earlier Tython reference. It would have legitimized The Old Republic storyline and provided a tie in that would have not only hit home for fans but also provided great story material for the future. You don't have to link directly to the Revan story to do something like this, just show a familiar world out of it. This is what it looks like 3000 years later/etc. Dantooine was fantastic in KOTOR part because we had never seen it in the movies and now we finally got to see it.
In fact had they done Dantooine instead of Tatooine rip off Jakku, it would have tied in with the original film and Leia's dialogue.
They didn't need to go back and retell Episode 4 to make 7. Clear this was all Disney's doing. Lucas was right in his tantrum. Disney should have broke new ground. They could have stayed retro and still done that. But they played it safe and it sucks.

katarn is no longer canon
