Having Leia and Yoda in Rebels, seems to screw up the timeline of the canon. Not that it ever made a ton of sense, but Rebels seems too recent to New Hope now.

What's the matter, don't like a strong empowered young woman who doesn't need her hand held?
>>79072050
it isn't, he just happened to use that shit as the image, what triggers my autism is he put the edition in the subject
>>79072100
Not at all. Sabine is just a non character. If she wasn't in Rebels there would literally be zero difference. She is useless.
>>79072099
>seems to screw up the timeline of the canon
Do explain how you think this is happening.
>>79072099
I don't mind it. It's nice to know Yoda was doing something in all his time in exile. The Empire will logically not just hunt Jedi but anyone else with the Force. It's good to know Yoda is reaching out with his mind across the galaxy and trying to help where he can.
As for Leia, of course as she grew up she began helping her father in his work with the Rebellion. If she wasn't directly aiding the cause she was on missions of mercy to ease those suffering under Imperial rule, and sometimes using official missions of the latter as an excuse for the former.
>>79072136
k
Do we have any backstory information on Sabine yet? Or the condition of Mandalore since TCW for that matter?
>>79072100
>don't like a strong empowered young woman who doesn't need her hand held?
Chick that spent her entire life on a fucking desert planet because she was waiting for her parents to come back.
Chick that was totally flashed after a dude she just met asked if she was okay.
Chick that almost started to cry when told that 'we came back for you'.
>strong and empowered
right...
Would you call an orphan that survived on it's own on shitty work and living in abysmal conditions also strong and empowered?
Some people throw their brains away in pursuit of some political agenda instead of enjoying a piece of entertainment for what it is.
Fuck. This clonks my bongles.

It's coming up in the latter half of season 2. You can see some Mandalorian action via the trailer found in the OP.
There's also some small hints in upcoming episode titles but I don't have any of those handy at the moment.
>>79072280You're replying to an anon who openly admits his autism is acting up. Egging him on won't help, just ignore/reply hide and if he gets too out of control report.
>>79072350
>Do we have any backstory information on Sabine yet?
no, we're gonna get some though. what we are speculating is that no matter what they do for her she will always be shit
>>79072350
She has a sister that's also a Bounty Hunter. But it doesn't matter, she's a shit character and nothing can change that because she's ill conceived and doesn't belong in Star Wars.
>>79072350

This, this right here is why I love Star Wars
>>79072509
Be honest, you've been waiting to use that one for a while haven't you?
>>79072444
That isn't actually Sabine's sister. Just a heads up.
>mfw when Ahsoka dies in the hands of Vader.
>>79072401
The only autists I see in this thread are you and the other anon who are triggered hard over no one else liking Sabine. Your post is sperg as fuck. Calling anyone else a shitposter is rich, let alone trying to report someone simply for disagreeing with you.
>>79072595
No, she dies by falling down the stairs.

You could say the same of most expository media related to Star Wars.

ftfy
They can't have Obiwan back in Rebels, or it would contradict what he says in A New Hope "That's a name I've not heard in a long time"
>>79073322
Or he could just be calling himself Ben Kenobi. It's not like the ghost crew knew of him and Kanan may have forgotten.
>>79072136
Removing Starkiller from starwars fucked up the story a lot and now nothing makes sense. Starwars is now worthless.
>>79073352
>Starkiller
pls
This just got uploaded to Saturday Night Live's youtube channel.
The autism is real.

What exactly is the problem? That skit is fucking hilarious.
>>79073343
>shown Kanan watching the holocron Obi made.
>A New Dawn has him specifically talking to and about Kenobi.
Yeah nah, Kanan knows exactly who one of the most famous Jedi in the order was and would not "forget him."
>>79073352
>Star Wars was worthless and didn't make sense until 2008
>>79073386
This is a really good use of Adam Driver and a decent Star Wars joke. I liked it.
>>79073386
Holy shit this is amazing fucking love Disney they aren't scared of making the villian a comedy relief.
>>79073418
Maybe anon meant the youtube comments? But they're youtube comments so if you're even looking at them it's a self-inflicted wound.

TRAITOR
>>79073322
Still five years from ANH. I don't see any problems with it being a contradiction.
Rebel's Anakin and Yoda looked like they came out of a Family Guy episode
>>79073486
Haha, yeah free publicity, Disney truly is amazing.
>>79073386
>really struck a nerve with me
>especially since i killed him
>>79072739
At least once a thread when new episodes of TCWs were airing someone would ask if/how she died. Some of the answers were hilarious, but I don't know if anyone bothered to collect the actual posts. There were a few pics and edits, too, but I don't have any of those anymore.
>>79073391
Maybe he won't go by Obi-Wan just Ben like how Kanan was Caleb. How long would you consider a long time?
>>79073640
>'...jumped down pit to evade pursuit, landed on Darth Maul's head spikes leaving him freaking out and running around with her still stuck to his head'
My sides are on the moon right now.
>>79073578
contain that butthurt of yours
would you make sweet love to pic related even if she'll always, ALWAYS smell like swamp ass?
>>79073761
Of course. Imagine being blowed by a Rodian qt. FUCKING HEAVEN!
>>79073575
Anakin looks fine, you're just used to the wooden (literally) appearance in TCW.
>>79073761
Fuck no. It can't smell how you already expect it to based on looks, that's just awful.
>>79073675
I'd say 5 years would be long enough, especially if after he leaves the Rebels Obi settles down on Tatooine to become a hermit
>>79073844
I don't know man, I can't shake the feeling of "we wanted it to look like Mark Hamill, but we also wanted to go home early on a Friday"
>>79073575
Yeah, they looked god awful. Rebels animation ONLY works for some of the less humanoid aliens and characters in armor like Vader and Stormtroopers. The humans especially just look like shit. No idea what they were thinking with Yoda.
Soon
>>79073844
They got better over time, though Obi-Wan's beard always looked kinda plastic.I really wish Lego hadn't tried to make the faces show accurate. Fucking awful.
The Rebels Yoda does look god awful, like TPM puppet Yoda bad (if I'm allowed to drop that bomb). I'm really hoping it's just a placeholder but it won't be.
>>79073970
>tfw it will just be a tame, mostly off camera stab that kills her instead of a beheading, being forced choked, or cut in half
So it seems based on the trailer that Ezra can activate the ancient Sith weapon that's going to come into play in the next few episodes. Do you think that anybody with Dark Side powers can activate it or is Ezra special?
>>79074031
Anyone with the Force in general.
>>79073943
Yoda is meant to look like the old Kenner toys apparently
He's really not survived the translation into Rebels style well
>>79074010
>And here we see the change in the coloration of the bark of the Kenobi tree as it agesIt does look better but fuck does that beard still look sharp enough to kill
>Anakin, spinning is not flying
>but its a good trick.
Goddamnit I spit my drink out. it should not be that funny.
>>79073386
so I guess Kylo's going back to light in the next movie(s). He's such an adorable fuccboi, how can anyone hate him? He even freed Star Wars from Ford's paycheck.
>>79074031
EZRA is special because he'sSNOKE
>>79074010
Yeah, they're sticking to it. Filoni's explanation is that we're seeing Yoda through the filter of Ezra's imagination and this is how he's imagining him. It's a weak excuse though, and I think this one is taking his devotion to the McQuarrie style a little to far.
>>79073928
We already know he was living on Tatooine watching over Luke at this point.
>>79074097
Legit misread that as Snake for a second
.....He does spend a lot of time crawling around in air vents, and otherwise sneaking around
>>79074071
>He's really not survived the translation into Rebels style well
I don't get how that even happened, the old Yoda toy looks pretty accurate compared to the on-screen puppet. The one in Rebels looks like... I don't even know where to begin.
>>79073928
ANH Ben was an old man who knew his time was nearly over. I wouldn't mind him being shown to have one adventure before ANH where he gets to settle his old business with Maul.
And in some ways it makes sense. Bail knows where Obi-Wan has gone and why. It would make sense that he'd try to recruit a Jedi Master as the rebellion, not yet the Alliance, starts to heat up. Of course Obi-Wan will turn it down in the end, even if he helps them briefly. The Death Star was such a big deal that the message was pretty much, "There's no more time, help now or never."
It does raise some curious possibilities. If you're Bail would you just want Obi-Wan to get his ass to Alderaan with Luke and train both kids? Thanks to Uncle Owen that's impossible, but as someone risking his own safety and his daughters, his world, isn't that something you'd consider?
>>79073928
Yep, it looks like they called it a night when they made his model. He's even wearing a different outfit that doesn't resemble his TCW or RotS look.
>>79074071
I think one of the problems is that he looks to big. He kinda reminds me of an old man wearing a Yoda costume.
>>79073749
Defend that naivety of yours harder.
>>79074125
That's not a horrible excuse, as such. I can see that being the truth given Ezra's training is still early and frankly projecting messages through the Force has never been shown to this extent either. It's probably a version of the ghost training Yoda is undergoing. Projecting his consciousness through the Force while still alive would certainly be good practice for doing it once he's dead.
But it will definitely come off clumsy in the show since that's a creator hand-wave explanation that I can't see them working into the actual episode without it seeming forced.
No pun intended.
>>79074184
Why does he have a snake? Is he a Slytherin?Or is he Snoke?
>>79074184
I'm not really seeing the resemblance to the toy, either.
>>79074184
it's not accurate because ezra has no idea what yoda, looks like. get over it.
the quality of these threads went down the drain when the tfa was released.
>>79073570
Obiwan says to Luke he hasn't heard that name since Luke was born. He was a good friend.
>>79074306
>Let your friends die you must, stay here and train
>No good is there in your father, kill him you must
Yoda was the real villain all along
>>79074344
No he doesn't. He only says "a long time." and considering Obi-wan is the definition of "certain points of view" a long time could be 6 months or 20 years.
>>79074344
No he didn't. He said a long time.
>>79074386
To be fair he does say he hasn't gone by Obi-Wan since before Luke was born.
Autists naturally cried foul when ROTS has him being called Obi-Wan in scenes after Luke had been born.

>>79074324
?
>>79074386
I'll give him the benefit of a doubt on this one. Five years living in the desert probably seems a lot longer than it is. Definitely a long time when you're an old man and you know your only purpose left, to train Luke, just isn't making any progress.
>>79074324
The more I look at it, I think the face is actually fine but what's throwing it off is that really pronounced chin and lack of puffy cheeks
>>79074324
Maybe it's how round his head is? Something wrong with the eyes? The Mouth? It just seems very off.
But at least he combed his hair before hopping on the Forcephone. Calling up young boys.
Hrm.
>>79074532
What's wrong is they didn't go full McQuarrie. It's Ezra imagining Yoda through the Force, time to go full Papa Meebur Smurf!
>>79074604
Yeah, that's kind of why the "Ezra doesn't know what Yoda looks like" explanation falls flat. If he doesn't know how to imagine Yoda, you'd think he would imagine him very differently instead of "close to what he really looks like but just kind of off"
>>79074547
It's his face. It looks as if it's been punched in, and the features are much smoother in compliance with Rebel's generally smooth art style. No texture.
>>79074324
I don't understand how they fucked up this bad when regardless of the shit animation style, they still generally nail the look of everything else. This genuinely looks like a parody.
>>79074324
>>79074547
I think you are onto something.
Aside from the head looking rounder the face looks gaunter, cause he doesn't have the same kind of cheeks and his ears are smaller too.
All things together kind of move him closer to 'old human male' proportions instead of being alien. Makes him quite a bit more uncanny valley.
>>79074656
Yeah, there's a definite oversimplification to the lines on his face.
>>79074669
The ears thing I believe is a Prequels era thing. I'm probably misremembering some of this but when they went to CGI to puppet they changed some of his design. There was some controversy over, what was it, Yoda's feet? They also changed his ears a bit.
It's one of those things where since they were updating him Lucas ordered some cosmetic changes.
>>79074868
>There was some controversy over, what was it, Yoda's feet?
Yeah, in some version he's got bird feet with a toe facing backwards and in some he doesn't.
I think the version in EpIII where he's twirling around the air, while fighting Dooku is probably canon now.
Funny thing is we also don't know anything about Yoda's race aside from it being called Yoda's race and there being another Jedi Council member in Kotor called Yaddel iirc.
He's the original unique snowflake.
Maz Kantana was supposed to be a Yoda like mentor figure, but she just shows up to serve drinks and look concerned in the finished film.
>>79074972
Only other member of Yoda's species to show up, doesn't say a word, and vanishes. Nobody ever speaks of her again.
I wonder what the purpose of Yaddle even was?
>>79075077
Old EU she died off before AoTC.
Don't sure what happens with her in nuEU. I'd really like to see more about her and Yoda's story.
>>79073761
I bet she gets a real buzz from swatting.
>>79073858
Rodians smell bad that's a fact. They're reptiles after all, you ever smell a reptile?
>>79072350
She's from House Vizla and was in the Imperial Academy before becoming a criminal and a rebel.
>>79075215
>>79074604
>>79074645
imagine if he imagined yoda as some great, physically power conan warrior?
>>79074972
I wish they'd left in more of Maz, and at least give her a bigger role in the later films. She's arguably the most helpful person to Rey.
I mean after Finn is wounded Kylo Ren seems to struggle with the lightsaber which instead flies to the person it's been calling to earlier. Rey gets into a half-hearted combat stance and ignites the saber, then ends up in a constant retreat when fighting Kylo Ren until her back is to a cliff. When he tells Rey she needs training, someone to show her the ways of the Force, Rey suddenly mouths "The Force." She closes her eyes just as Maz told her to and after several seconds manages to connect with the Force. Definitely the deciding moment of the movie as far as Rey is concerned. After that Rey doesn't fight with much flair, no fancy movies, but she's definitely sensing Ren's attacks before he makes them and either blocking, dodging or counter-attacking until he's down. There's no real finesse, only raw Force. Too rough to rely on forever, definitely in need of actual training.
The connection between Rey and Maz is there but it's still a bit subtle. Some people aren't making any connection between the two moments. I missed Rey repeating "The Force" before she closed her eyes the first time I watched it. This seems to be Rey's, "Use the Force, Luke," moment but they didn't want to actually have Maz's voiceover. Understandable or people might assume she died since they cut her appearance at the Resistance base.
Considering Rey has Luke now I wonder what they'll do with Maz.
>Tfw Jakku could have been a cool water world with speedboat style speeder chases and Somalian pirates.
>>79075327
I can dig it.
>>79075136
Yaddlewas captured by Darth Sidious because he always wanted to hatefuck Yoda but without the homo. He ends up seducing Yaddle to the Dark Side. After he died she took the reigns of the Imperial Remnant, crafting a holographic identity for herself known as Snoke. Endgame of the sequels is evil "Yoda" emperor.
>>79075335
>Considering Rey has Luke now I wonder what they'll do with Maz.
one of the is gonna get Kenobi'd.
Or they'll run a good cop/bad cop training regime on Rey to enable her to deal with her dark side impulses better.
Why do people like CGI Wars?
It's completely out of place and tone with ROTS and makes no sense, the original series made more sense and continuity. Plus it didn't have dumb shit like Force gods and Maul coming back or that they fought Grievous then though ROTS makes it clear that it was the first time they ever even saw him up close.
>>79075554
>bait
Also Anakin and Grevious never meet in TCW but you'd know that if you actually watched it.
also
>Force gods
>dumber than any of the high level bullshit Mace and Yoda pull in Genndy Wars.
They're both equally good shit bruh.
>>79075530
I wonder if it's possible Luke says, "Thanks for the saber, now GTFO."
Maz knows the Force but not from the Jedi perspective. Meanwhile Luke is apparently trying to find the first Jedi Temple, which suggests...what? Going back to a purer form or understanding of the Jedi? Something from before the wars with the Sith changed them? Something that maybe explores the schism that lead some Jedi to become the Sith?
Those could be interesting but I'm not sure how you'd make a movie out of them, unless Kylo Ren and/or Snoke are actually interested in unearthing ancient Sith secrets and restore them as well?
Hell, I've got no clues. Spinning the dark guessing and not accomplishing a damn thing.
>>79075554

Sometimes you just don't want to deal with things with freakishly long arms.
>>79075335
>Considering Rey has Luke now I wonder what they'll do with Maz.
Yeah, I don't know what more there is to do with Maz. She's kind of a superfluous character. Now that Luke's in the picture he fits the wise mentor role, and if they need an old and wiser one they can just have Yoda's spirit appear. So what can they even do with Maz that isn't already covered by other, more established characters?
>>79075710
Because I don't want to be a slave.
>>79075620
Everything has good and bad points. I can appreciate both.
One thing I love in TCWs is the near running gag that Anakin never actually runs into Grievous personally even though Obi-Wan and his own Padawan have had dealings with the general. This turns into a full blown joke during the unfinished Utapau episodes when Obi-Wan ends up captured by Grievous after landing on his ship while Anakin lands on a perfectly safe area with no one around him. Then while the two are using a giant kyber crystal that produces mini-Death Star style blasts to shoot THROUGH the walls of Grievous' ship for a quick escape Anakin rushes near Grievous without spotting him but Obi-Wan gives the general a cheeky little wave.
Shit was cash.
>>79075213
>you'll never go out for a run in a high-end Coruscant plaza with your rodian qt and then plunge your face into her musky buttcheeks when you get home
>>79074024
Bet you it will just be mindfuckery and she won't actually fight him?
>>79075684
I want Luke to at least the a total BAMF in one film.
He should singlehandedly butcher the first order, Kylo in the next film. Keep Snoke for the 3rd one if you have to.
I think he deserved that.
You think we'll ever get a Star Wars movie without humans in prominent roles?
>>79075986
If there aren't named bothan spies who get massacred in Rogue One I'm gonna be unhappy
>>79073191
>>79073228

Keep up the good work.
>>79075972
Given that Snoke and the First Order are positively shitting themselves at the idea of Luke coming back, it might make sense.
So, the green crossguard lightsaber in the trailer. We were told that Kylo's was poorly built, and required the quillions to stabilize the energy produced from the cracked crystal.
Is it likely that this was the case for this new iteration of the lightsabers of the Old Republic? In that the more contemporary single bladed hilts we have now are actually a relatively recent development in lightsaber design and that the old crossguard was due to a lack of efficient power regulation for stable crystals?
>>79075696
Check the Legends MEGA. It's got some of them.
>>79073352
>Removing Starkiller from starwars fucked up the story a lot and now nothing makes sense. Starwars is now worthless.

Okay, either I lost touch with the young people or your autocorrect acted up.

What?
>>79076013
Bothans are for the second Death Star
>>79074024
This is the Filoni crew we're talking about. Rebels is TV-PG, they could do it.
>>79075833
>Then while the two are using a giant kyber crystal that produces mini-Death Star style blasts to shoot THROUGH the walls of Grievous' ship for a quick escape Anakin rushes near Grievous without spotting him but Obi-Wan gives the general a cheeky little wave.
All because they were only briefly obscured by a wall of smoke from the aforementioned blast
There was also a moment in the episodes prior where Obi-Wan and Anakin were being chased by Grievous through an Utapau cave network while hauling the giant crystal aboard a hoversled. Anakin was driving the sled while Obi-Wan was bringing up the rear, defending against Grievous and his MagnaGuards. The only thing preventing Anakin from getting a quick look at Grievous was Obi-Wan's shuffling from side to side in covering his blind spots
Fucking genius
>>79076027
you misunderstood, the quillions were need to stabalize the sabre, not because of the crack crystal, but because that's the way the sabre was designed.
The cracked crystal only caused the saber to have ragged appearance.
>>79076027
The stable ones actually use three different kyber crystals for each blade. Read Heir to the Jedi.
>>79075972
I doubt they will let Luke do that though, from a story and character point of view.
Remember, Disney wants to put all the focus on the new characters, if they let Luke start wrecking shit, he might end up taking up too much of the spotlight.
>>79076122
>Rebels is TV-PG
Already? Thought it was Y-7 or something. Genndy's cartoon was also Y-7 and had mostly robot gore.
>>79076107Flyswatting
>>79075833
I need to see this.
>>79076161
If Han Solo can 360 noscope people and have it be laughed off, Luke can wreck face and be fine.
>>79076027
So you know how the Katana-like darksaber and Ahsoka's white lightsabers are what were used in the Old Republic era? Do you think the crossguard lighsaber was the first incarnation of the Modern lighsaber we see in Star Wars? It is said to be ancient as well
>>79076161
They gave Han plenty of spotlight, and made Hamil losed 60 pounds. He's definitely going to be in action in episode 8.
>>79076027
So supposedly, as opposed to the cabled protosabers of the EU, we get crossguards. That or the crossguard evolves from the protosaber as the Jedi look to invest in less glaring design flaws. The crossguard is dangerous no doubt, but the fact that they knew how to use them should be testament enough to its usefulness.
>>79076173
Oh yeah, we had a fun little excited freak out here when we found out.
There's actually a funny thing in Siege of Lothal, when it comes back to commercial from Ezra getting his lightsaber held to his throat, a stormtrooper gets shot in the chest right before the TV-PG in the upper corner goes away.
I got a kick out of it.
>Finn's character arc literally is at a dead end in the force awakens
What, he's just going to be another run of the mill Resistance soldier? That's so boring.

I hope that they will go the route that he regrets trying to run.
It is essentially his fault that all the republic planets got destroyed since they didn't immediately got to Leia with that information.

Crystal Crisis on Utapau is about halfway down the page. There are four episodes with very raw, incomplete animation.
>>79076312
umm lol?
There was no way he could ever find Leia considering she was on a secret Resistance base and he didn't have time to tell Poe anything. He spoke when he got the first chance after meeting Leia.
>>79076347
Supposedly the Grand Inquisitor in Rebels is someone we've seen before, so he's either from this episode or the brief appearance of the species in Episode III.
>>79076451
Probably Barris acting like a moron again.
>>79074010
>I'm really hoping it's just a placeholder
Yeah, cus that's what shows do in trailer, show placeholders. lol
>>79076451
But anon, he was aTemple guard
>>79076451
Not so much someone we've seen before, but Filoni said he technically appeared in an episode of TCW.
I still think it's more likely he was one of the random Utapau police forces. People seem to think he was a temple guard but I don't really see much to indicate that, especially since he implies the reason he knows about specific Jedi is because of the temple archives rather than because he had met them.
>>79076567
>but I don't really see much to indicate that
Preview pics of Kanans vision in the next episode and that parts of the Inquisitors outfit and the Temple Guards are identicalShoulderpads and so on seem to be the same model.
>I guess TIE Fighters have an ejector seat afterall ;))))))
Jesus fucking christ.
Why is that Star Trek isn't as popular as Star Wars? They seem to be the same thing for except the lightsabers
>>79076675
Cause it's dull most of the time.
>>79076675
Star Trek has a lot more in-depth philosophical discussion and technobabble doesn't appeal to everyone.
>>79076665
This is a reminder that even if you are a fan it doesn't mean you can write about it
>>79076507
That would be both funny and sad. His training wasn't even at their level and we never really saw those guys do anything other than look cool and point their yellow sabers dramatically.
>>79076665
So how bad is Aftermath actually? And is the same guy writing all the aftermath books?
>>79076665
*clinks glass of blue milk against yours*
>>79076675
one is science fiction, and attempts, in one way or another, to create a concrete world that might exist at some point.
the other is science fantasy, and has more in common with myths, legends and folklore.
>>79072003
Wasn't Sabine being touted as like, the co-tagonist of this season? What happened that shit?
>>79076675
Star Wars is more accessible to the average person, and is generally more entertaining.
>>79076725
Pretty damn bad with some tolerable moments, mostly some of the vague information on what the Republic is doing in it's formative days after Endor. However most of the book is a random bullshit adventure that doesn't really matter and few care about.
And yeah so far he still has a job finishing this trilogy.
>>79076725
>And is the same guy writing all the aftermath books?
Yes. The pre-release details say his next book is going to show how the Empire treats gays. We already found this out in Lords of the Sith with Moff Morrs. They don't care who you fuck
>>79076725
Its surprisingly tolerable if you listen to the audiobook. Its just riddled with bullshit like what was just described.
And yea, its the same hack for the whole trilogy. Unless he (hopefully) gets fired.
>>79073386
Not really laugh-out-loud funny, but pretty amusing. I enjoyed how in-character Driver remained, he didn't half-ass it at all.
>>79076783
Been listening to a couple Star Wars audio books, just finished Tarkin a couple days ago and jumped right into Lords of the Sith. Both have been pretty enjoyable so far. Certainly makes my drive to work a little more interesting.
>>79076843
Worth a few hearty chuckles. Kylo Ren and his Angry Black Lady Boss™ who just wants HER DAMN MUFFIN, MATT! And dissing his saber.
>>79076725
It's pretty bad. It's not "FULL SJW GAY PANDERING" like people keep saying, but the writing feels like it was done by a 15 year old. He also tries way too hard to make it feel like Star Wars by throwing in too many references.
It's like if you ever read a story where one character is from Texas and every other thing he says is "why that's as big as a Texas longhorn" or "squished 'em like an armadillo outside Amarillo" or "boy howdy I bet Sam Houston himself couldn't find a twister bigger than that one!" and just needlessly bludgeoning you over the head with the fact that this character is from Texas? Imagine the entire book being that, except Star Wars. The narrative is just obsessively trying to remind you that it's Star Wars.
>>79076898
>le funny loud black woman meme
"no"
>>79076675
I love both, but they're very different. Star Trek is for people who want actual science fiction, philosophy, politics, etc. It's got action and adventure, but it's more about the characters themselves and thoughtful storytelling. Star Wars is much more fantastical and bombastic.
>>79076707
This is how you spot a underage poster.
>>79076725
It's pretty bad. The writing style is awful since it's all in present tense for some reason and riddled with sentence fragments, and none of the characters are likable. We also keep getting flashes to other unrelated characters whose stories go absolutely nowhere.
>>79076928
This is why Star Trek had a longstanding ban against having fans write the shows throughout the 1990s. And when I say fans, I mean people who are really devoted, not the folks who just watch the show, the ones who investigate every edge of it.
>>79076948
You sound like a guy who gets his wrench kicked around and is too much of a punk bitch to actually do anything about it.
>>79076859
Listen to Lost Stars
>>79076675
Star Wars is much more all-encompassing, covering a wide range of subjects of genres, with myth, legend and folklore as a driving force and light sci-fi as a backdrop. It has the potential to power and renew itself with the broad array of ground it can cover, keeping up with the times by blending the contemporary and the historical, making it much more organic compared to Star Trek.
Star Trek limits itself to being relatively hard sci-fi, injecting philosophical and social commentary to make up for the human element. While it does have its appeal, it's very niche as a result of defining and pigeonholing itself into its strengths. In addition, it attempts to create a concrete, perfect future world that might one day exist, but fails at making it tangible and dare I say relatable since its narratives focus only on the crew of some ship or other without really going out to develop the universe from the ground up.
>>79076725
What's funny about the author is how he was defending his writing style saying "this is how *I* write, and I won't let anyone else tell me what is right" and "I'd rather write a book in my own style than the style people say is correct".
That's like taking a shit on a plate and calling it a steak dinner, and when he's yelled at, he says "this is the steak *I* want to make and you can't tell me otherwise." It's a bullshit self-serving way of thinking.
>>79076725
Garbage. The worst thing to happen to Star Wars since Karen Traviss and from a technical standpoint the worst book I've ever read in my entire life. It is very, very badly written. It should never have made it to print.
>>79076783
>Its surprisingly tolerable if you listen to the audiobook.
I have not read it, but after reading what defenders say the reason seems to be because it written more like a script than a book.
Problem with that is, when you're commissioned to write a book... you're supposed to write a damn book.
>>79077023
I like plenty of slow paced TV but when its paired with horrible aesthetics, effects, dicey acting and corny dialog I switch off.
>>79077194
Pretty much. It works in the audiobook because the style lends itself well to the format of a radio play, and the guy reading it takes full advantage of it.
That said, the audiobook improves the experience but it doesn't change the fact that this is poorly written or that the author has no idea how to build an actual story or develop characters. It's just much better than reading it.

Something about the automated voice in this makes the video funnier
>>79076928
You're wrong about it not being SJW pandering trash. There are multiple gay characters thrown about for no other reason than to mention that people in Star Wars can be gay and for the author to go "Look at me Tumblr, I'm so progressive like all of you! Now protect me from all the legitimate criticism about my shit writing on social media by calling the critics hateful bigots!". Which is exactly what he did. And has decided to double down on it for the sequel by forcing the story to focus on homosexuality as an issue in galactic politics. It's pure cancer and needs to be stopped.
>>79077072
I'm 90% sure Anonymous is Kylo Ren.
>peaceful Mandolorians
justify this
>>79077519
Mandalore as a planet has been reduced to a single planet only habitable due to it's sealed dome. It's taken generations for the moon of Concordia to recover enough for the forests to return.
With no choice Mandalorians fought their greatest fight - against their own warrior impulses.
That is the in-universe reason.
>>79077519
Waging war on every planet you find may eventually rally other ones to bomb your homeworld into submission. At this point, I'd imagine any race would rethink their ways. Besides, it seems that because of Maul and Deathwatch and then the Empire, Mandalore was returned to it's warrior ways
>shitty CGI Kid's Cartoon about Rebels literally destined to fail since they ain't Luke, Leia, and Han and they're not even the Rogue One guys
>Not a shitty CGI Kid's Cartoon about the Exile chasing Revan to the outer rim of the galaxy for answers
I'm watching Star Wars Clone Wars now, I never watch all of it. I watched only the first season several years back and I do specifically leaving off when they introduced Cad Bane in TV promotions.
I've picked up again from Season 2 and this shit is really good. My question is, how do they allow this on modern TV?
>Threats of death all over the place
>Darth Sideous planning on doing a mind-altering slave surgery on babies and not caring if they all die in the process
>Dudes, albeit clones and sentient insect people, dying all over the place
This show is hardcore for a Cartoon Network series.
>>79077604
They're lucky they got to exist at all as a living culture. As much as people may think Lucas did Mandalore a disservice, the introduction of them showed that they weren't 100% pacifistic anyway. But Lucas could have just gone full steam with his original intent and have them extinct.
>>79077659
Yeah, the show aired almost entirely uncensored. There were only about three times in the entire show that CN censored something for the broadcast.
>>79077659
That's not even the worst of the violence. I think there was a clone getting decapitated during a battle scene, but it's not entirely clear
>>79077659
>My question is, how do they allow this on modern TV?
Lucasfilm(tm) dollars, my boy. Lucasfilm(tm) dollars.
>>79076347
>Anakin doing more questionable things
Damn it all, this leads perfectly into ROTS.

>turn your own planet into a fucked up nuclear apocalypse desert because you're always warlike all the time.
>your kids think your entire generation was full of warmongering dickheads and they shun your honorabu warrior legacies. Become pacifists.
>Later generations think your generation was fucking awesome and want to become badass warlike terrorists.
>Pacifists tell them to look outside at the fucked up apocalypse desert planet you made for them by being a fuckup. Remain pacifists.
>>79077519
Same reason why the Japanese eschewed Empire, military power, and violence following World War II
The Mandalorians warred so much to the point of their nearly wiping themselves out, which is why Mandalore's surface is bleak and sunbleached safe for the living domes. Satine's faction eventually rose from the ashes of these wars to prompt a change in thinking lest the Mandalorian people completely wipe themselves out of the history books, and thus worked to create a new, peaceful society where people could thrive without having to fight, while exiling the warrior sects to Concordia.
The warriors didn't like this, believing Satine to have sullied the traditional name "Mandalorian", and fought to bring down Satine's rule for a return to old traditions and values while using the backdrop of the galactic Clone Wars as a rationale.This indeed works for a while following Maul and Deathwatch's coup in Season 5, which unfortunately culminated in the Republic invasion and apparent occupation of Mandalore, whose aftermath and result we'll likely be seeing in the second half of Rebels Season 2 with the introduction of the Mandalorian Protectors
>>79077629
>shitty CGI Kid's Cartoon about Rebels literally destined to fail since they ain't Luke, Leia, and Han
But Anon, it was a huge success. Lids love Ahsoka, TCW, and Rebels just as they do our beloved OT cast.
>>79077693
>"what the hell was that?"
>ventress kissing the arc trooper
what was the others?
>>79073575
Rebels Anakin looks like a cheapened version of TCW Anakin (it's just a holocron, though).
But what the fuck happened to Yoda? His face is just way too long.
>>79077783
>ventress kissing the arc trooper
that was cut though
>>79077777
Nice quints, but nah.
>>79077783
In the Maul arc, there was a shot of the decapitated Black Sun leaders' bodies falling to the ground, as well as a shot of Vizsla's headless body lying on the floor.
>>79077777
Quints confirm
>>79077777
>>79076157
This, in Heir to the Jedi Luke disassembles one and it has three crystals inside it
So I just finished The Force Unleashed.
Why is Starkiller so bad?
>>79077777
Will of the Force quints.
>>79077659
Yeah, TCW was brutal sometimes.
>>79077806
Explain. Have you talked with children About this? My younger cousins, students and friends kids love TCW and Rebels equally with the movie series.
>>79077891
What's with the extra shit some clones put on their helmets? Like Cody's stupid visor, you'd think his helmet would reduce glare itself.
>Watching the Clovis Arc again
>Always talked about how crazy the arc was for how quickly the Sith get things done when they take a more direct approach to matters
>It's still my favorite arc of Season 6 as a result, and I've since started writing a stupid fanfiction where the Core 5 were busted off Scipio and brought to Muunlinst by former Banking Clan Chariman San Hill to rally an alternative source of funding for the Separatist war effort, prompting the Republic to invade Muunilinst in order to bleed the CIS dry of any economic support
Would anyone want to read this? I'm mostly doing it because the Battle of Muunilinst was perhaps the best part of Genndy Wars, and with how Filoni Wars essentially remade Genndy's Battle of Mon Calamari, I'd do the same with Muunilinst. Probably won't feature Obi-Wan and Anakin like in Genndy Wars, but rather OCs if only to show that there were more Jedi and clone units active during the war than just the few we see in TCW
>>79077854
I like Starkiller. Thought Witwer handled the character very well and made him a likable person over the course of the game. Even if his role in the game is... eugh. I'd love to see him get recanonized as long as they rework the events of the game.
>>79077777
I wonder how viewed the OT is by the younger fans. Until recently it seemed like the cartoons and maybe Prequel movies were the most viewed, but with the sudden rise of Star Wars fever over the last few years I wonder how much this has changed.
The toy sales sadly aren't much of an indicator given there's no way to distinguish between no interest in, say, Luke sales versus or people not buying a figure they already have.
>>79078020
Might be interesting, I also thought the Battle of Muunilinst was the best part of that and I was hoping it would be re-introduced into TCW at some point.
Also I still want to know exactly where San Hill fits into the heirarchy since he's apparently not the actual leader of the IBC
>>79078031
The Force powers were absolutely crazy stupid, but if you're playing a game called The Force Unleashed you don't mind when it has crazy stupid Force powers. That's the fun, after all.
>>79078039
If my experiences are any indication, they think it's just another awesome movie with awesome characters.
My cousins like Luke a lot, but they also like Anakin, Ewan Obi-Wan, Dooku, etc...
My female cousins really love Ahsoka.
>>79078125
No kids have ever liked the prequels. Stop making shit up.
>>79078125

>>79078189

>>79078031
Rework how?
In my personal opinion it, he shouldn't even be able to kill some of those Jedi, specifically Shaak Ti.
Or have been able to angle the Star Destroyer down.
Or have gone 1v1 against Sidious.
>>79078232
Kylo REEEEEEEE
>>79078232
Why are they making Kylo a joke? Are they setting up his turn to the Light Side?
>>79078242
The movie was great. Season 2 was good, but not that great.
>>79078101
I think they should've expanded more on the other Leaders of the Separatist Council in TCW. They only did Poggle, Gunray and Tambor
>>79078120
Nah, it's easy to look past as nothing more than a contained element of a video game. Fucking Kota summons a Force energy shield in his boss fight, Paratus can create junk golems all over Raxus' surface and Shaak Ti can manipulate a giant fucking saarlac. The whole game is supposed to be over-the-top for its own sake and I though it was a lot of fun. It just should never have been representative of actual events relating to canon, nor should any power levels presented in the game be taken into consideration by the rest of the universe.
>>79078189
>"only kids liked the dumb prequel":people who dislike 1-3

Explain.
I mean I'm 90% sure this is bait, but even still I'm intrigued by the new direction being taken here.

Am I the only one who prefers the unofficial jedi-training? I really like the post-jedi purge society during the Empire era.
The fighting feels more intense and personal. I like seeing the jedis as wandering samurai rather than valiant paladins of a high-order comprised of tens of thousands.

But...the post you replied to said what you did, only in less detail.
For what it's worth the Force can do a lot of those things but in limited circumstances. Talzin can manifest energy blades and blaster reflecting energy shields. Nightsisters can also animate corpses and create working cyborg parts out of junk that leak the same "gas" that empowered Savage Opress, and which he leaked from his wounds.
You can, through the Force, manipulate/command creatures although nothing thus far the size of a sarlacc. Oh and Savage Opress once utilized that AOE Repulse power against a bunch of attacking droids, though that's just a slight variation on the usual TK abilities.
This isn't in any way meant to justify TFU or it's depiction of events or even how the powers worked, just pointing out that we've seen examples or similar abilities with the Force, even if they aren't powers used by the Jedi or Sith. Nightsisters, for instance, utilize a lot of ritualistic "magic" with the Force, especially utilizing multiple sisters at the same time. The rituals are usually shown as pretty extreme uses of the Force, especially when they are ways for multiple users to join powers.
That and Talzin is pretty bullshit in her own right, but since she's nearly on or at Yoda and Sheev's level for her faction you kind of give her a pass. Some of her powers seemed more advanced than the crone who raised the undead.
