I'd rather see it on Netflix.  The Marvel Netflix series are awesome!

Thanks for coming by and giving us more info Adam.

Like I said in my earlier post...it's a good set, I personally am just not overly wowed by it.  Perhaps it's just because I'm still kicking myself over nver picking up the Mandalorian or Joker Squad sets.   

Filoni said it in that clip.  All living beings help to create The Force.  Qui-Gon helped describe some of the basics of The Force when he was speaking with Anakin in Episode I, and Yoda did with Luke in TESB as well.  Plus, between George Lucas and Dave Filoni, they both agreed that a being like the Ysalamiri that could negate The Force would go against the overall concept of The Force being generated by all living things. 

I'm not trying to crap all over Timothy Zahn's work.  But I think that plot points like this Ysalamiri one are indicative of a weakness that Lucasfilm had with the old EU.  Because it really seemed like there was not a guiding force back in the 90's when the Thrawn trilogy was written to guide story points like this one.  But in the current era we have the Lucasfilm story group looking at the big picture and steering things in a cohesive fashion.

I get you point, and I've thought way too long and hard about this stuff over the better part of the last 40 years, but I still find the Ysalimiri plausible.  They may not necessarily negate the force, but, as a defense mechinism, developed a way from hiding their presence in the force which could negate a force user's abilities in a certain radius as a secondary effect.

And a great deal for only $60!

Wow!  Man sells vintage collection at auction.  Carded Boba Fett goes for over $34,000!

Honestly, I'm just looking at the photos of the auction.  Pure vintage toy porn! 

That behemoth said he was one of the Bendu.  And that goes right back to the original Star Wars script, where the Jedi were known as the Jedi Bendu knights.  I get the sense that this part of the story might involve Force users who are neither Jedi nor Sith, which certainly seems to open things up a bit.  Especially since the Knights of Ren appear to be Force users who are Dark Siders, but not affiliate with the Sith.

Not to go too off topic, but I wonder if Maz Kanata is one of them.  She said she's no Jedi, but she knows the Force, and apparently there is a deleted scene where she could wield the Force.  I wonder if that is something that will be explored further in the movies.

Back to Rebels, I'm intrigued by the Thrawn angle as well as an introduction to Wedge and some of his backstory.  Also like the thought of seeing them steal those Y-wings and the Rebels becoming a stronger force.  I wish Filloni would just give up on the Clone Wars crap though!  The fact that Maul is still around anfter being cut in half and falling down a bottomless pit gives me hope that we'll see Han Solo in episode 8!  I also still can't stand the idea that Rex (one of the most loyal clones and leader of the 501st) is part of the Rebellion!  LET THAT CRAP GO INTO THE ASH HEAP WHERE IT BELONGS!

Hell, that's a pretty sweet looking Rey figure!

A friend of mine from work who is a die hard Trek fan hates all things JJ Abrams.  He sat out Into Darkness and is doubly pissed about what Paramount has done to the fan community recently with Axanar and Star Trek Continues.

This Sulu crap will piss him off even more!
