Thanks to the WGA script that was released to writers for awards nominations and the junior novelization of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, we now have confirmation of major plot points involving Luke Skywalker, and that cliffhanger (almost literally) of an ending.
Testament The Story of Moses Review: The series depicts Moses' journey from an outcast and murderer to a prophet and liberator of the Hebrews. It interweaves docudrama and interviews, to present a more humanly image of the prophet.
Rest In Peace Review: A man in debt disappears. Years later, he considers reconnecting with his family, but his previous life takes him by surprise.
Nerd Reactor writes that a new international post has revealed the return of a fan-favorite Toho monster.
Interesting. And I bet that the First Jedi Temple is only among many temples the new expanded universe could uncover.
This kind of rips a big hole into the story. If it is the location of the first temple, wouldn't more people know about it? Wouldn't more people be looking for it? Especially since Luke has vanished?
I don't understand why the first temple was just wiped from existence with no relevance to anyone?
So I guess Tython was EU then?
I've let "The Force Awakens" sink in a bit since watching it, and I'm starting to think it's going to become somewhat forgettable in the long-run. There were some great character additions and Harrison Ford delivered a major portion of excitement when watching the movie (ie. being excited to see old faces again), but after comparing it to the old movies (all 6 of them), The Force Awakens feels like it was lacking in imagination. The designs relied so heavily on the original trilogy. I mean, they made a bigger Death Star, and X-Wing fighters and the Millennium Falcon all returned and were once again the stars. Say what you will about the prequel trilogy, it offered new creations and visual landscapes. In the time that's passed in the galaxy since the events of the original trilogy, you would think more would have changed. I think the movie is still fun to watch and I enjoyed it, but I do hope the next one tries to take some more risks and go down newer roads.
