I haven't seen the prequels in a decade and haven't seen Episode 7 or Rogue One. So, yeah, I am a bit behind :P

Exactly the situation! There was a planet designed to be an exact clone of Dagobah, dark side cave and all, just so Yoda wouldn't be there.

Mara is a very good character indeed. The end of Heir to the Empire, one of the last chapters, talked about those darker origins. Mostly they just talked about her wanting to kill Luke Skywalker. She is being built up, perhaps to be used more in the sequels, but really that revelation was as far as we got with her. Of course, the explanation is quite amazing indeed, easily one of the best parts of the book and adds a whole new dynamic to the original films that lines up perfectly. That book had so many amazing scenes... it needs to be filmed.

Wait, don't we want the Ewoks to go blind as that means they can get their soap stolen by the Duloks (pity me for knowing about this)? I am so confused.

I don't have too many hopes for the SNES, I just feel like it will be repeating the NES. I am looking more towards the various DOS based titles that isn't SNES based.

For as much of a gamer I am, I am highly limited in the genres I actually like. I like FPS titles mostly. RPGs are something I want to like due to the world building such as NPC interactions, but find myself getting bogged down in the lore and hating it or hating it because I didn't do proper stat management and am being punished by failing a game of wack-a-mole with my opponent. RTS games I can enjoy even if I am not good at all at them, though it has to be decent quality or I will get bored in time. Age of Empires 1 suffers this a lot, I will start and stop it over and over. Platformers usually suffer from "how could I see that" syndrome or just feel too arcade-like to get involved in the world, plus they often feature limited saves and everything besides a tiny dot causing instant death. Flight Sims, I have no idea, all I can do in them is fly into the thing I am supposed to avoid to the point I get frustrated due to not understanding how to beat a tutorial. Beat-Em Ups just tend to be dull. Fighting games are alright, I feel there is at least more challenge there than most that comes down to reaction timing, but I prefer being able to explore an environment and dislike Anime, so that cuts down my options to MUGEN with random characters like Doomguy and Peter from Family Guy (haven't done this in years, curse my chronological obsession). I like racing games oddly enough as long as they are in 3d, but I just never seem to get around to playing any. 1D games are hell.

Nods, time limits are something I can never stand, especially in FPS titles when I want to sight see. Oh, look, a new level. Oh, look, you have five minutes to clear it! Oh, look, if you explore you get some extra items, but that means spamming every wall while running to the exit! You having fun yet?

I tell you, if you tracked down my house number with the plan of sending me Quake 2 and a bomb, threatening to blow up the house if I don't play it, you can forget it. I will gladly blow up and play my horrible NES games.
