i would be very surprised they kill off Lando. he is a protected class and after all the shit they took for killing everyone else off. i think lando might make it through. my god. they're already killing chewie, leia and c3po in this film. the only ones left from the OT are R2 and lando. will they go there and kill them all off? they arent even keeping the new disney SW people around. who the fuck will ever be interested after this shit is over?

So this is fucking stupid, just like all the new lore. The old (EU) explanation is in this link. The crystals are red because of all the negative energy in/around the Sith during the creation process.
This reminds me how much I loved Star Wars because of the old lore and how the new shit is pulled out of their ass and different just to be different. It is a real shame they destroyed something with 30 years of lore; even the bad stuff.

It's not Star Wars; this is what I realized with the Last Jedi. It's the hollowed-out husk of Star Wars walking and talking, the MIB2 "Edgar Suit" version of Star Wars. At least Rogue One was fan service, and not trying to make the things that we loved into something that it wasn't. Rey might as well love Ovaltine or advocate for social equity or Audi starships: There is nothing but props that connect this Star Wars to even Lucas' bloated Prequels. I totally get his "White Slavery" comments, and Disney lived down to far below his and my expectations.
What story are they ever telling at this point? Things are happening and characters go places and the movies go from scene to scene but that doesn't constitute narrative or story. It's literally *the* franchise, (Jaws may have been the seminal summer blockbuster but Star Wars really was the start of the modern phase of movies as we know them) with a fan base that might have been the most diverse and loyal in movie history until the creation of the MCU. And in the matter of a few years, they have torn all of that down and only the smoldering husk of it remains.

Everything BUT the movies is the Star Wars universe and advances it. The movies themselves merely shit it up on screen and expand nothing besides our own disdain for hollywood writers/directors and the executives that green light any of it.

False. The new canon Chuck Wendig books are utter trash. The new Thrawn is ok but doesn't hold a candle to EU Thrawn because of the moronic universe around him.

I think they should end it with literally everyone dead. Except Lando and R2.
They walk off into the night with the Casablanca ending where Lando says this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

...my lord that guy is salty.
I thought TLJ was lame for all the same reasons everyone else did but this is really stretching the hate a bit far. TFA was NOT that bad.
