Why doesn't Anakin appear and tell his grandson that he's on the wrong path?
>>
>>72002459
because he does what anakin wants.

Disney thought about doing something with him. Ultimately, it was cut for TFA.

>>72002459

Force ghosts dissipate within 10 years or so.

The Force had to Awaken, senpai.

>>72002526
Well Anakin should show up at some point, I mean it makes no sense for him to sit back while things play out. Obi-Wan's ghost was always there to help Luke
>>
Because his Grandson's drugged up brain is to fuzzy to see beyond his own duckery.

but disney doesn't want to acknowledge the prequels the pricks

Pretty sure in the Timothy Zahn books it was suggested Obi-Wan's consciousness was fading and he would be moving on or snuffing out completely very soon. I can't remember exactly though.

Cry more about your Admiral Thrawn and your Darth Revan.

The Dark Side cuts you off from Light Side ghosts.

Anakin himself did too many bad things so his ghost can't talk like Obi Wan's could

WHY THE FUCK DO I KEEP FORGETING THAT LEIA IS DARTH DAUGHTER
>>
>>72002850

Don't really give a shit about them desu. I read the Zahn trilogy when I was a kid and then the one where Chewbacca dies, which was so cringingly bad I put it down 3/4 through and never touched a SW EU novel again.
>>
>>72002850
the old republic is canon
>>
>>72002904
Because it was shoved in during return of the Jedi and pretty much none of the characters acknowledge it
>>
>>72002526
That isn't Anakin, that's Vader. When Kylo Ren was talking to Vaders helment they were about to make Vader it's own entity, kinda like a demon that possessed Anakin...
>>
>>72002925
Is it? I know Darth Bane is canon thanks to the clone wars show

That would have been shark jumping retarded. Thank fuck they didn't go through with that. I mean holy shit wow. Fucking Lucas tier fuckery.

Fuck me Vader looks dope with a hood

You mean pansy boy continues to be a big selfish baby after death? Who would guess?
>>
>>72003086
I could have sworn I read something about the writers toying with the idea of Anakin wavering between the darkness and the light.
>>
>>72002586
Not canon anymore, that was old EU. New canon has no limit on how long a force ghost can last however they lose their personalities overtime.
>>
>>72002925
No, it's continued on the Legends banner. Check Pablo's twitter, he's stated it many times. TOR is not even close to being canon. It severely contradicts with established canon anyway.
>>
>>72003250
I'm talking knights of the old republic, not the mmo
>>
>>72003331
TOR is part of Knights of the Old Republic, it is also non-canon. It's part of legends and it also severely contradicts established lore.

For example,
>hyperspace too fast
>KOTOR features planets from the outterim which was not even discovered or explored yet
>The Sith Empire decimated the Jedi and Republic before dissolving into a civil war
>4,000 years in the past
>The Sith did not exist yet
>lightsabers were either crossguards or darksabers
>the aesthetics are very different: See Darth Bane from TCW and Ahsoka from Rebels
>Sith had almost medieval Chinese influence
>Jedi had Samurai vibes
>Jedi and Sith both used Superweapons with kyber crystals
>>
>>72002905
>get caught being a shitpleb
>Backpedal like crazy so you won't lock as foolish as you already do.
>>
>>72002459
Because the ghosts only appear to those they were close to.
>>
>>72003671
That's not how the canon works
>>
>>72003671
I'll decide what's canon
>>
>>72003250
Revan was almost in the clone wars, that makes it canon.
Lalalalala, I can't hear you Disney!
>>
>>72003897
What the hell are you talking about? TOR and KOTOR are not canon. If they were, they would have to be completely retooled for what's established in current canon.
>>
>>72003996
He was almost canon but it wouldn't have made sense within the episode. Him and Bane were suppose to show up in the Mortis arc but Sith spirits manipulating a Dark Side entity didn't make much sense to Lucas and the crew.
>>
>>72004548
>There are people in this known cosmic solar system who think that the force awakens is canon
>>
>>72002459
That's a story for another time :^)

>>72002459
KYLO REN, I HATE SAND, ITS COURSE AND IT GETS EVERYWHERE, IF YOU ARE NOT WITH ME, THEN YOU ARE SAND

I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!
>>
>>72003086

No, fuck that. That would mean Ben was literally right about saying that Vader betrayed and murdered Anakin
>>
>>72003250
>>72003671

You're right, it's not canon. But so what? Why do people care about canon so much? This isn't like the bible where deciding between what's canon and what's apocryphal literally causes wars.

It's just fucking entertainment. What, are you not allowed to enjoy KotoR or Shadows of the Empire or the Zahn novels anymore because the Star Wars EU has been relegated to Legacy status? What kind of stupid shit is that? If the stories told gave you such enjoyment, why should you care whether or not it fits into some grand scheme of things? It's fucking autism is what it is.
>>
>>72004944
>anon asks a question
>it gets answered
>spazz out about it
>>
>>72005110

At some point I get tired of all the "it's canon so it doesn't matter" shit that people always post.

I mean yes, it not being canon means that in the main timeline, it didn't happen. But it doesn't change that it was still written.
>>
>>72005168
>"it's canon so it doesn't matter" shit that people always post.

Not once is this said. Anon asked if TOR was canon and it was explained it was not and with reasons. Not stated EU or Legends was irrelevant. We still get EU content and nods in new canon too
>>
>>72002459
>Why doesn't Anakin appear and tell his grandson that he's on the wrong path?

HACK WRITING
>>
>>72002586
Doesnt say that on wookieepedia.
>>
If Anakin was a force ghost he probably wouldn't be the nicest guy. He spent more than half of his life as a murder cyborg fueled by hate, even if he did flip at the end.
>>
>>72005168
Are you an idiot?

>>72002586
>Force ghosts dissipate within 10 years or so.

NOT CANON
>>
>>72005917
Anakin was chillin with Yoda and Obi Wan last time we saw him as a force ghost, so i assume he wasn't that bad
>>
>>72006096
Especially since it's pretty much confirmed Yoda will appear in Ep.8 as a force ghost
>>
>>72005407

It originally started with >>72002850
>>
>>72006288
He was obviously shitposting. An anon thought TOR was canon because a lot of people assume it is because it still releases content.
>>
>>72004825
>IF YOU ARE NOT WITH ME, THEN YOU ARE SAND

kek'd
>>
>>72003086
hey you're right this was the best idea ignored in VII the idea of him talking to vaders demon is incredible to me and I was furious when they didn't show it in the movie
>SHOW ME AGAIN the power of the darkness

I mean come on he obviously was communicating with a sith demon of vaders
>>
>>72007084

Because it defeats the point of Vader turning back to the light at the end of RotJ
>>
>>72002459
That's the next movie.
>or the one after
