Daily reminder that Ahsoka is best waifu
CHOSEN THREAD
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE
THREAD
>>83314497
First post, best post.
Shit pic tho.
The mention of muscles from the last thread got me thinking.
If you had to cast The Rock/Dwayne Johnson as a character from the EU, who would you have him play?
>>83314601Ahsoka Mano.
>>83314601
A stormtrooper.
>>83314601
CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THE BARON IS COOKING
>>83314601
Yoda's son who has to finish Rey's training after Luke dies at the end of Episode VIII.
>>83314576
Yeah, I know. I'm going to make better art than that. The creative arts is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.
>>83314601

Just become a photographer and hire models to dress as the characters you want.

>>83314601
He could be The Rukh.He's Thrawn bodyguard.
>>83314423
Ok, what are we expecting from Rogue One? And is anyone hyped for it, that's not a hardcore fan, because I really want this movie to do well and usher in some nice, quality Star Wars movies that aren't a part of trilogies.
>>83314733
Photography is easy and you can't take photos of fantasy\sci-fi\numerous things anyway
>>83314772
who is the Doomguy of Star Wars?
>>83314761
>Ok, what are we expecting from Rogue One?
Disney did their boring safe 'look you can trust us with the ip' movie already with VII.
Maybe they'll try something new. Or maybe they'll just milk the franchise for everything it's worth.
I'm afraid it's gonna be a by the numbers movie set in the star wars universe though.
>>83314772
Sure you can, anon. It's called Photoshop Magic.
>>83314840
I mean, if you want to be literal about it? Kyle Katarn, seeing as his first few games were basically just a conversion of Doom....
>>83314888
Only the first game was Doom, and DFII is the best Star Wars game bar none.
>>83315078
Having recently played those games, I feel like you're a little blinded by nostalgia....
They were amazing for their time, but age has not been kind to them....
>>83315114
>nostalgia
>>83315114
I just played through Dark Forces II, actually. I feel like it held up pretty well. Besides the graphics, what do you think aged poorly about it?
>>83314840
>>83314888
>>83315252
Is this meant as non-cringey?
>>83315343
I think this one's better
>>83315154
Wait, I somehow confused 1 as 2 because I am dumb. Just booted it up.
Still don't think that the controls and the graphics hold up well though. It's just doesn't feel as good to play as modern titles.I'd play the new Battlefront over it if I wanted to play a star wars game that actually controlled well desu.
>>83315700
>desu
I forgot that it still auto corrected to that in posts. Oh well.
>>83315700
Fair enough. I rank it about on par with the original Half Life, which is similar and I also feel held up pretty well. Just a matter of perspective, I guess.
>>83315700
I think DF2 is ok, but I may be biased since I usually replay it after DF1.
Seriously, DF1 levels are far too often incomprehensible, and sometime even the "explore any loose ends of the shitty ass map" won't save you.
> Rewatching S3 Ep 11

This rodian beauty seems to be a popular poster.
>>83315857
>Fair enough. I rank it about on par with the original Half Life
Seriously? HL was goat
>>83314669
I admit, not bad.
Who ate his shoulder, though?
>>83316006
May be the third person view, but I find DF2 to be more difficult to navigate. And the levels are truly gigantic.
>>83317054
>Who ate his shoulder, though?
You've never seen a man with a fappin' arm before?
>>83314423
I miss SWG
>>83314705
I wanted a visual interpretation of this, so I did some photoshopping.
>>83317658
We were going to have a guild it in, but there was a lack of interest at the time

>>83317905
>>83317658
No one ever managed to be on at the same time as me, so I never could get people into the guild....
Only way to do it (that I can figure out at least), is by adding people that are near me in game, which means I can invite people into the game unless we're on at the same time. If I could get a few people in and give them the ability to add people would be easier, but there's just not enough interest....
>>83318106
into the guild not into the game
I'm sorry, words are hard.
>>83318106
>>83317905
I was interested in it, but I just don't have the free time to commit to it.
Don't want to join, only to abandon it soon after, like I sort of did with the Commander group.
>>83317658
>>83318106
http://pastebin.com/fRajXXsq
And here's a tutorial I made. I also was hyped to join like >>83318304 but I have no time to play videogames. Fuck my life.
Has Force Jesus Anakin ever done anything unparalleled or impressive for a Jedi or a Sith?
>>83318504
Killed the emperor.
>>83318504
There's the Mortis arc for one
>>83318504
Most of his "muh chosen one" stuff was about the potential he had, but never quite reached.
But if you want examples of crazy shit he did that other Jedi couldn't, he;
>Jumped out of hyperspace into the middle of a space battle
and
>Controlled the Son and Daughter Celestials on Mortis
Those are two feats no other Jedi or Sith have ever done, as far as we know.
The hyperspace thing is, slightly less impressive now though, thanks to JJ making Han able to Hyperspace safely into a planet, without even being Force sensitive.
>>83318596
>>83318657
Wasn't Mortis just a three-way shared dream
>>83318657
>thanks to JJ making Han able to Hyperspace safely into a planet
Honestly if somebody could do that other than a force sensitive then an old Han Solo could do it. I mean, this is the guy that did the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs.
>>83318591
Was there an ultra fast battle of wills in the force we couldn't detect or did he just throw a distracted old man down a shaft?
>>83318694
That's what they wanted you to believe.
We still don't know what Filoni's endgame to all this is.
>>83318829
>That pic
WAIT WHAT
>>83318829
too much pottery
>>83318905
>>83318908
There's a lot of allusions to the Owl and the Celestials too, but when asked about it Filoni just laughs and avoids the questions, saying we wont know the truth for a long time.
>>83318772
Less than.
>>83318908
Or too much reused assets.
>"Few still know of our existence."
Do you guys think Snoke knows about Mortis?
Also I think we're probably going to get some Mortis pottery in the ST (assuming Rian has seen TCW). Just think, Rey could be the daughter, Kylo could be the son, and Luke could be the father if he is more of a grey Jedi now. Not literal biology, but in pottery.
>>83319332
>assuming Rian has seen TCW
Do you genuinely believe the directors are the only authority on what gets put into the movies?
>assuming Rian has seen TCW
You know he hasn't anon
>>83319162
No no, it's poetry. POETRY.
>>83319332
I've read a lot of theories about Snoke being a Celstial. I'd be 100% ok with it. It directly comes from the barely-used lore Lucas left, and actually presents a legitimate greater threat that isn't just Sheev 2.0, without discrediting the previous threats in the franchise.
In fact, it's too good to be true.
God in Heaven, that painting is from Star #ars galaxies. The artist used the ign of Zel. Her whole guild (MASC) were nothing but assholes and scumbags. So glad that game is dead.
>>83319475
>>83319492
To be fair he's shown knowledge in some really obscure canon shit like the force tree in Shattered Empire and has been involved in Bloodlines. I wouldn't be surprised if he's seen it since it's one of the most important things in canon other than the movies.
>>83319587
I think the Force Tree was part of the plan all along. Things like that and the general outlines for the movies were planned way before Episode 7 came out
>>83319587
Even if he hasn't seen TCW I'm sure Lucasfilm has regular meetings about lore and the direction of Star Wars in general. In fact I know they do.
>>83319552
> Snoke being a Celstial.
That would be too awesome.
But I doubt they'd ever have him be that.
"Too confusing for the casual fans" or something like that.
And OT Elitists would definitely hate the idea, seeing as they hated midichlorians and want the force to be "mystical" and "unexplained".
>>83318106
do we have to be twi'leks to join?
>>83319691
Well the Celestials were pretty mysterious weren't they? It was the first arc in TCW that attempted to prove the Force was still mysterious, the second being the Yoda arc.
>>83319683
Kathleen Kennedy very likely did watch TCW, because she's close friends with Lucas. The Lucasfilm Story Group have probably watched TCW repeatedly.
I wouldn't be surprised if they used the Mortis arc as a starting point for new ideas, considering those episodes always seem to be fan favorites whenever people mention TCW.
The movie directors may not have watched TCW. (They may have, I don't really know. I doubt any of them will admit they haven't, because they're all shitscared of being seen as not real fans)
But the directors aren't the ones coming up with the overall story. In fact, people seem to keep forgetting that Lucas left an outline for the next three movies (and the Han Solo movie)
Granted they apparently changed a lot of his TFA plan, but still. It's entirely possible it was him who suggested Snoke be a Celestial, and possible that Kathleen/LSG/The movie writers have kept that idea.
>>83314423
Isn't that image from swg?
>>83319859
No, is just the name of the guild.
Is creating a sw webcomic a good idea?
Oh man, this pic takes me back. I remember when it was being done, the Twillek and Mon Cal were two members of the guild that died in a car crash. I was so freaking happy to see it included as an in game painting. Pic related is another pic from the guild master, Zell. She made the best freaking sigs, animated to boot. Anyway, this is a pic of my toon Tashaa in Restiss(sp?). Cost a billion credits, but it was worth it.
>>83321098
Fancomic? No.
Official canon comic? YES
>>83321098
That depends, is it going to have a plot and a story(doesn't matter if it's pornographic) or is it just going to be filled with nothing but porn and no discernable plot? Is it going to be filled with cringe-fest oc characters or are you going to make some effort on making well-rounded characters?
>>83314497
Nah, for me she isn't
>>83321098
Go for it.
>>83319503
A poem about tight budget?
>>83321204
But anon, it can't be canon if it's not made by the original creators.>>83321268
>Is it going to be filled with cringe-fest oc characters
Gods no. I created this character called Kylo Ren but then I realized... this character kinda sucks!
>or are you going to make some effort on making well-rounded characters?

How the fuck has nobody typed up the Adventures in Wild Space books?
>>83322542
Why the fuck haven't you gone and bought the books after this much whining?
Star Wars is baby shit for babies.
Why was Papa Palpatine so strong in the force when he learned of his sensitivity so late and didn't have any family history of strong force users?
>>83323826
DO NOT REPLY TO THIS FAG
He wants them (You)s.
>>83323866
oh shit
>>83325978
Realizing that Rogue One is just a sci-fi remake of Where Eagles Dare, but with klaxons instead of drums?
It's so long until Rogue One and Star Wars Celebration Orlando....
Hopefully EAs announcements on the 12th won't be disappointing. I NEED NEW STAR WARS THINGS TO KEEP ME FEELING ALIVE.
I find this thread's lack of Grievous disturbing.
>>83327505
Hope you enjoy more mobile freemium shit and on-disc DLC.
Also, have fun with playing as Mon Mothma and General Veers in Battlefront on the Death Star map
>>83327656
>Mon Mothma and General Veers in Battlefront on the Death Star map
What?
>>83323853
>learned of his sensitivity so late
Common.
>didn't have any family history of strong force users
Also common.
>>83327656
GoH is fun, but running out of interesting things to do in it. I actually like EA's Battlefront, but am waiting for the sequel and am not buying the DLC.
What I'm really waiting for is info on the Amy Hennig Project and the other games. I'm at a pont where I'm just really sort of lost for anything of interest.I'm not really interested in the comics or the books really. Not like either of them will have any true effect on what's in the movies.
>>83327680
Just throwing out shit at random. Tried to work along the lines of 'how do we top Greedo and Niem Numb in terms of randomness/unexpectedness over someone people actually want to play. For fun, mind you; I'm not trying to be a dick or anything.
Kinda brings back memories of that pic advertising Ringo Starr's guitar for Beatles: Guitar Hero.
>>83325978
Just caught up with the last thread and it's "muscle" moment?
>>83327831
>Not like either of them will have any true effect on what's in the movies.
In the comic Shattered Empire Luke begins building the Jedi temple that will appear in Episode 8.
>>83328068
Is that confirmed, or what people think it is?
>>83327628
>>83328293
>>83328319
>>83328207
Implied.
Two Force sensitive trees are stolen from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, but Luke tracks them down. He leaves one with Poe's mother, leading people to believe it may have affected Poe and helped give him his godly reflexes.
The other tree, we can only assume he took to replant at a new Temple.Leaked pictures from the EP8 set show a tree that looks very similar to the one in Coruscant, seen during TCW, leading people to believe it's the tree Luke got in Shattered Empire, and he planted it there as the foundation of a new Jedi Temple.
>>83328399
Eh, maybe I'll give it a look then. I just feel like that'll probably get like maybe a few lines of dialog and the tree won't be important at all to the plot.
>>83328476
Here's a pic.
>>83328615
What do the trees look like in Shattered Empire?
>>83328755
They're only twigs in Shattered Empire.
>>83328755
They're small, just pot plants, but they're from the Jedi Temple, and you see a much larger tree at the temple in TCW.
Also worth noting that the tree here >>83328615 spires like the Jedi Temple. Now THAT is poetry.
>>83327628
Oh, haven't seen that one yet!
>>83328399
It's not that two trees were stolen. There was only one tree at the Temple. These are the offspring, whether from seeds or cuttings.
Sure that probably seems like a nitpick but when you think about it the tree from the Jedi Temple had twins. Which is worth noting in Star Wars even if it's not clear what the significance of them is. Could be accidental pottery but there's definitely something planned for two trees. Something to do with Poe? Or just so there is a spare since the one at Luke's temple probably didn't survive.
Amazing what these trees have scene. My favorite has to be the original one at the Coruscant Temple having Anakin pin Barriss against it in one of his very nasty near Dark Side moments.
>Telltale game never
>>83329527
That'd actually be pretty neat.
>>83329527
But of what? Pitch an idea here. Your ideal Star Wars Telltale Game
>>83329607
Smuggler adventures set about 10 years before Episode 1. We haven't seen any of that era yet, and we barely did in the old continuity.
>>83329527
Fuck EA. Seriously, Disney is retarded for giving them exclusive rights.

>>83327859
It's ok, I just thought Battlefront actually had something fun in it, you raised up my hopes for nothing, anon.
>>83329607
>Your ideal Star Wars Telltale Game
Oh but there are too many Lucasarts games I would sorely want to see beyond just another Star Wars game. Sure they've done Monkey's Island, Sam and Max. But where is Maniac Mansion? Full Throttle?
>>83329607
>Your ideal Star Wars Telltale Game
You start out as a young Republic soldier at the ass end of the GCW where it's converting into the Galactic Empire. Your choices can either make you become an Imperial soldier rising in the ranks and you work your way up Imperial hierarchy by being more ruthless as time goes on or you slowly start to become a rebel soldier and desert the Imperial ranks after you realize you can't do all that it asks of you.
>>83329906
I wouldn't mind another Zombies Ate My Neighbors myself, but considering gaming as it is, it'll probably be even worse than Ghoul Patrol.
>>83329906
Then of course there is combining them...

>bosses at Disney are not fully satisfied with the first cut from director Gareth Edwards.
Color me unsurprised. This is the guy who made the Godzilla movie with only ten minutes of Godzilla in it. You thought he was gonna play by your rules, man?
>>83334379
Never saw the new godzilla or been much a fan of the franchise, can you elaborate a bit why that's an issue?
>>83334165
Will this be worse than the prequels? wew
>>83334165
>Edwards is well-known as a risk-taking director, but has also been reported to prefer to keep studio influence at a minimum. The source added, “Disney won’t take a back seat, and is demanding changes, as the movie isn’t testing well.”
>A Disney source added, “The filmmaking team and the studio always anticipated additional shooting and second unit work to make the film the absolute best it can be, and the actors were aware there would be additional shooting. Coming off The Force Awakens, there’s an incredibly high bar for this movie and we have a responsibility to the franchise and to the fans to deliver the best possible movie we can.”
What do you think the problem is? Did they make the film too dark?
>>83334553
They didn't add enough lightsabers so it has to reshoot and add them
>>83334165
If they re-shoot in July, that means we might not get to see or hear anything concrete about the movie during Celebration. How annoying.
>>83334438
Well, Godzilla may not have been in the original Godzilla that much, but back then, he wasn't a big name.
These days, people go to a Godzilla movie because they want to see Godzilla.
Not to mention that they kill off Bryan Cranston, the biggest star in the movie, hot off the finale of Breaking Bad, in the first act.
>>83334553
Edwards made one of his signature "bold decisions" and it broke the whole movie.
>>83334657
>bold decision
>Only really bold thing I can think of is that he had the girl that rebels decides the empire is better and turns traitor.
Then again, I have a shitty imagination, but I would watch that. Feel like normies would not receive it well.
It's probably something dumber though.
>>83334881
>approaches the empire as not lolevil

Probably something to do with Ira Belle in which she's not a stronk female character.

We see Felicity Jones in that Imperial uniform in the trailer. Maybe she turns on them.
>>83334165
>Edwards stated that the style of the film will be similar to that of a war film, stating, "It's the reality of war. Good guys are bad. Bad guys are good. It's complicated, layered; a very rich scenario in which to set a movie."
You think they're pulling an Iron Man 2 and ripping out any and all traces that could have made the empire slightly sympathetic cause villains gotta be irremediably evil and shit.
>>83335088
Wait, what happened with Iron Man 2?
>>83335088
One step forward with Lost Stars and two steps backward with Rogue One.

And they allowed me to do that. Unfortunately, the [people] at Marvel just wanted a one-dimensional bad guy, so most of the performance ended up the floor.”
Guess this was Marvel's meddling and not necessarily Disney's so I'm probably off the mark.

Anyone who humanizes the aliens Kirk is sleeping with, to not upset casuals, is a flaming homo by my standards. Allowing it is no better, might as well drop the scene. That's like having Vader sob in his pillow after fighting Luke, nothing about that is right, just drop the shot.
I will always be annoyed by this.
>>83336191
Ren is a completely different character than Vader, you shithead.
>>83336191

>Anyone who humanizes the aliens Kirk is sleeping with, to not upset casuals, is a flaming homo by my standards.
Say again?
I think RoTJ is probably the most visually entertaining SW movie.
Jabba's palace is like a kick ass fever dream.
>>83336454
I assume he's talking about a scene in New Trek where Kirk is sleeping with some space babe, and then when she gets up in the morning we learn she's a student at Star Fleet and friends/acquaintances with Uhura (roommates, I think? It's been awhile).
It's one of the dumbest things to get angry about.
>>83315078
Dark Forces wasn't even Doom-esque. It played more like Wolf3D in an advanced engine than Doom.

Filoni kino when?
>>83338537
Disney, apparently, so this is going above even Kennedy.
>>83338573
So much for letting them do their own thing. Man if this flops, say good bye to anthology films.
>>83338551
No idea. But FPJ seems to believe it's inevitable.
>>83338490
Agreed. I think he's the only one who actually understood Lucas' vision and has what it takes to give the same kind of touch the previous six movies had and what TFA lacked. Like a longer production schedule for instance. A proper SW film should take like three years to produce from writing to post. Not all of it within just one year.
>>83338573
That's pretty fucked if true. It was the one thing we were all hoping wouldn't happen.
At least Lucasfilm and the people who work in it have a genuine passion for Star Wars. I feel a lot more comfortable knowing a decision has been made by them, than by an unknown person at Disney. I was hoping that part of Lucas's contract was that Kathleen/Lucasfilm could have creative freedom as long as they don't fuck it up. Executive meddling is worrying. Plus the LSG may have to sort out any messes that get made because of it all. Admittedly not high up on the list of problems, but still important to us dedicated fans.
I bet it was some stupid shit like "not enough Vader", or as someone else already said, something controversial with the female lead.
Assuming this is all true of course. Only 1 source.
>>83338647
>Assuming this is all true of course. Only 1 source.
True, though the fact that the comic was apparently cancelled/delayed so suddenly without explanation does seem to lend weight to it.
>>83334165
A need for reshoots can mean only one thing
>>83338647
I have a feeling it's true, I mean it's been rumored for a while now. Also that comic got cancelled. Full panic mode.
>>83338687

>>83338489
Disney was always shit at making movies. I can admire Walt Disney because that guy got balls but the company?
>In one version, predators were required to wear shock collars that would zap them if they started getting too excited, and Nick ran an underground club where predators could remove the collar and experience a taste of the wild life. Nick was originally going to be the main character, with Judy as the Deuteragonist. However, with only a year left in production, the directors realized that this version of the setting was simply "too sad"
Too sad? Nobody thought this sounded like shit from the beginning? But it gets better.
> In an even earlier version, the ur-concept was a James Bond parody featuring a jackrabbit spy named Jack Savage. They had the titles mapped out for the first five films, starting from Savage Seas, but everyone liked the animal city better than the spy adventure.
Coming from the company that created classics like:
>John Carter
>Tomorrowland
>The Lone Ranger
>Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
>The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
Comes Rogue One! We had extensive reshoots to make sure everything is like TFA, that other movie you guys loved!
>>83314888

>say good bye to anthology films
and nothing of value would be lost
>>83338853
Maybe they would have done original stories after awhile. I mean it was a possibility, right? It wasn't all going to be young han solo, boba fett adventures and OT nostalgia grabs.
that sound like a good idea, what are you going to made the story about?
>>83338853
Yeah, seriously. As much as I like the idea of anthologies, Rogue One seems like it'd be okay at best and really unnecessary, and I have no hope for the Han Solo one. And the one Trank was kicked out of is said to be Boba Fett (unconfirmed but stated by numerous sources), another one that I wouldn't be that enthused about. It's pretty clear that they're not using the anthology concept to really explore any interesting story ideas and are just going to go with whatever they think will sell.
>>83338853
We will never have Ewan as Obi again...
>>83339019
Just because there may not be an Obi film doesn't mean McGregor won't appear ever. Mind you, we still got episodes 8 and 9. He could totally come back as force ghost alongside Hayden.
>>83338490
This. Fuck me in the ass, Filoni.
Reminder that JJ have some kind of hate obsession with the prequels.
>>83338490
Given that that is what Lucas was grooming him for, it's a tragedy that he isn't part of the story group.
He should be the head of it.
Disney is not using him to his full potential.
>>83338735
>inb4 all references to prequels are removed
>Any mention of Coruscant is redubbed as Hosnian Prime
>Jar Jar is censored, just blurred out or covered with a black bar

It has been over 6 years. When are we going to see this glorious beast again?
>>83340067
>so the rest of the movie could hang on something that we knew was star wars
>create the movie that doesn't feel like star wars at all
Way to go, retard. I don't even like the prequels but designwise it had some cool shit. The droids felt too weak in general and I didn't like the super droids. But it felt like star wars.
>>83340259
>The droids felt too weak in general and I didn't like the super droids.
Republic dog detected
>>83340388
Seriously though. Look at this design. It's a huge target and what do they use? Do they carry huge laser guns or something? No, it's a tiny device built into their wrists! FOOOUUCK YOUUUU. Whoever created this design was a fucktard.
>>83340449
>Watch out for those wrist rockets
>>83340449
But... but wrist rockets! To be fair I think they were built to block and open paths hence why they can't move fast and it's harder to shot them down.
>>83340449
> Whoever created this design was a fucktard.
Clik-Cik-Bbrrr-Eh!
Anyway, what >>83340525 said, a solid design that can easily mass produced. Of course Jedi are out of the question but enough of them ought to take out enough clones without loosing to many, so by sheer numbers you can still win. And after the war you melt them down and make new ones.
You could destabilize the whole thing by putting more firepower into them so destroying one would result in a convenient explosion taking out more on your own side, sure.

>tfw because of the prequel-hate bandwagon Droidekas will never make an appearance in later films
Balance to the force = light and dark side are equal
or
balance to the force = light; dark side should be completely destroyed
>>83340694
Dark Side happens no matter what, as it's a result of living. An animal trapped, wounded is suffering. Infighting in a pack. Animals devouring each other.
The base emotions that tie you to existence will always happen, and it depends on the individual how much they want to distance themselves from that. (Or emerge in case of Shits).
>>83340694
There is no 'or'.
>>83340683
Droidekas were fine :( >>83340660
>And after the war you melt them down and make new ones.
Man, what. It's a shit design regardless. I don't care what in-universe reason they bring up.
>>83340694
Balance has pretty much been implied as the living force doing it's thing without an excess build up of the dark side.
I love it when reddit talks about Star Wars and how confusing it is

>But ‘Rogue One’ has fallen short of what J.J. Abrams did with ‘Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens.’ So Disney has ordered reshoots.”
The movie wasn't The Force Awakensy enough?
Is this what Star Wars have become? Someone dared to do something different and high up Disney people had to come out and stop it?
If this is true, Star Wars movies are screwed.
>>83340737
>>83340721
>>83340710
So the dark side shouldn't be powerful or destroyed, just contained?
>>83340889
As long as there are feels, there will be darkness.
>>83340889
You can't destroy or contain it, it'll always be there, and frankly, it's not so bad if you don't jump into it.
It depends on how someone using the force will use it.. have you ever been in a fight and won? Had someone on the ground withering? Congrats, you getting that sweet adrenaline and endorphine rush that makes you feel good about it earns you a darkside point, but hold yourself back and not kick that person's head to be a total dick (sith).
There are more force-adept training paths in the galaxy than Jedi/Sith (see: Nightsisters who exclusively use Dark Side powers but aren't Sith, the Kel'Dor have their own council of light-side users). Theoretically, there should be some out there who combine both aspects more often, but that hasn't been explored yet in nuCanon.
>>83340853
>If this is true, Star Wars movies are screwed.
Let's remember what star wars was for a second

When you look at the influences they're a little all over the place, you know? It was made in the 70s. That was 3 millennia ago. I can't imagine them taking any risks anymore.
>>83338634
>So much for letting them [Lucasgroup] do their own thing
Were you expecting something different from Disney? You shouldn't, they do their best to fuck over someone or something to make them profit.
>>83340853
>Star Wars movies are screwed.
That's why I'm sticking to the books and tv shows. Hollywood can't keep their shitty movie practices out of any type of movie anymore, and have to make it an epic blockbuster that either makes them billions or is forever screwed by them if it doesn't.
Could a Jedi, in theory, do something morally reprehensible while staying firmly in the light and without invoking the dark side?
>>83341042
Does that morally reprehensible thing lead to suffering? If yes, you earn some darkside points.You doing some research for a fanfic or RP here?
>>83340889
>just contained?
Not so much contained, but rather just not fed.
Pain, suffering, death, conflict, these create the dark side. Naturally, there will always be these things, so the dark side will always exist. But when you have a galaxy wide war and a galaxy wide regime afterward deliberately creating pain, suffering and death on a galactic scale, that creates shitloads of the dark side and throws the force out of balance and gives guys like the Sith an enormous well to draw UNLIMITED POWER from.
>>83341042
>morally reprehensible
Look, if I was Jedi, I would totally rape underage girls to and have them do whatever I want. I'm protecting the fucking galaxy. Besides, it's only evil from a certain point of view
When they "test" the movie for whatever fucking audience, how does that work anyway? Who gets to see the movie to see if it doesn't suck ass? The company guys? Random strangers with neck bombs that explodes if they talk?
>>83341072
Nah, well not now at least. Just asking some minor questions I've had to keep the thread active.
Suffering, yeah. Maybe something pragmatic or proactive that causes suffering without coming from a place of fear, hate, etc. Trying to think of an example.
>>83341079
Okay, that makes sense.
>>83341158
>A test screening is a preview screening of a movie or television show before its general release in order to gauge audience reaction. Preview audiences are selected from a cross-section of the population, and are usually asked to complete a questionnaire or provide feedback in some form.

Normies get to decide what's good for Star wars, think about that.
>>83341430
>Normies get to decide what's good for Star wars, think about that.
I can understand making popular Trilogies for them(even though I am loathe to admit it), but I really just wanted a Star Wars movie that could have pushed the boundaries a little, just a little. Not by much, but apparently Disney can't accept this>>83335088 and are now in the process of reshooting it.
To think, I thought Disney would have waited a few more years before meddling with the Star Wars movies and Storygroup.
>>83341660
>I really just wanted a Star Wars movie that could have pushed the boundaries a little
Yup, that's what I hoped the anthologies would do. Try new things and test out different genres for Star wars films.
And yeah, they're definitely Force Awakens:ing up Rogue One, because TFA did good and "felt like Star Wars".
>>83341660
Can we find out later on what the reshoots were like in world war z? Because I wanna know what disney wanted to be different and what they add to the movie.
>>83341698
>Try new things and test out different genres for Star wars films.
This was what I wanted. The Star Wars universe is so damn huge and full of potential to have many stories within its boarders. To just leave it all in the dark and never let it see the light of day is what kills.
>>83335088
what happened with iron man 2?
>>83341660
>Star Wars movie that could have pushed the boundaries a little
Isn't this what Star Wars was supposed to be? If the tv shows can do it then why the hell can't they do it with the new films?
>>83342099
Because 'muh OT'
Until there's actual confirmed re-shoots I'm treating this as bullshit.
>>83342031
This>>83335219. The man that played the bad guy wanted his character to be a little more three-dimensional, the writers and directors allowed it to happen, but Marvel/Disney cut and changed the scenes so that what we got was a boring and forgettable IM2 movie.
I just do not get as to why Hollywood just makes black and white distinctions to the good and bad guys to damn vivid.
>>83342099
>If the tv shows can do it then why the hell can't they do it with the new films?
Cause' the execs don't give enough shit about tv enough beyond keeping the violence and themes kid friendly to tell them no in regards to creative freedom. All the movies ever hence forth have to be 'Muh OT'.
>>83342099
>then why the hell can't they do it with the new films
Because Hollywood wants easy billions and to do that you make films that are easy to produce and so simple a retard can follow it with ease.
>>83342151
We need to ask Pablo, someone tweet him. I'm hoping this is bullshit, but with Disney, them being dicks and circumventing directors and writers is what they're known for.
>>83342099
Storytelling is always about taking risks when you think about it. These big movies that cost 70-250 million dollars are created by committees, not directors.
>>83342099
Because it's easier to just not do something that requires effort.
Normies will still gobble it up, which is the problem.
>>83340694
The second one. How do people not understand this? Holy shit.

>>Tomorrowland
What was this movie even about?
>>83342964
How much... George Clooney wants to bang Athena. I think. I'm not sure, really. I think they were trying to make a lighthearted sci-fi movie but they forgot to put in humor and story
>>83343108
It's funny since Disney hyped it up super hard that they ever were going to make a Tomorrowland park section in Disneyland
