Name one thing 8 undid from 7.

The missile would start having thoughts about becoming the dark lord of mordor and would refuse to go off or land in the volcano. It would land nearby and seek to take over the orc armies.

Hey, 8 tried to tell a different story. It's a story about how the legend of "Luke Skywalker" is overblown and doesn't do justice to the man himself or to anyone around him. It's a story about how war has a big negative effect on the rest of the world, even places far away from the war. It's a story about how sometimes the world doesn't work the way myths do, with awesome magic powers and heroic sacrifices. It's a story about how everyone is important, and the "great man" idea of history is false. Those are stories that Star Wars hasn't told before.

8 redeemed the mistakes of 5 and fixed Star Wars.

I prefer to call it the Sokka problem.

Of course. Everything important that ever happened has to involve a far-off backwater that nobody's even heard of.

(I actually like Tatooine's inclusion in KOTOR purely because it makes the planet an even more transparent Dune ripoff)

George Lucas created the Star Wars movies after R2D2 and C-3PO crash landed in an escape pod in his backyard, and they told him the story of the Empire, the rebels, and the Jedi. Earth is the only planet that has Star Wars because it's where R2 and Threepio ended up.

Big caves are called caverns

Yeah but the thing is, Th4tguyII has the most upvoted comment in this subthread. Language is a democracy and the people have spoken.

It's Xitter, pronounced shitter

But the word "cave" implies a feeling of smallness
