Funny thing is, Luke is the ultimate Mary Sue. Only gets light Jedi training as an adult, still ends up beating two highly experienced Sith. Can speak multiple languages even though he grew up on a farm and has only interacted with moisture. Can somehow magically fly an X-Wing. Is expert robot fixer. Is able to feel no emotions at all when his effective parents are burnt to the bone in front of him. Is Aryan as fuck. Just casually grappling hooks across bottomless pits while dodging lasers with a teenage princess swooning in his arms - and even better for a farmboy, it's his sister.
His only flaw is... caring too much

>>44472132
Depends on the plot entirely.
Ahsoka is such a fucking qt. How does she go anywhere without hundreds of guys throwing themselves at her?
>>44472132
Depends on the enemy's shields entirely.
>>44472074
It's flyable but sub optimal

What is the Clone Wars
>>44472221
What should I add?
>>44472124
Alright cool, thanks. Might give Howlrunner a white and red stripe or something and two veteran ties, then I can paint up some Royal Guard ties to sit on a three prong with the Firespray. I just wish the scale was a bit more accurate when it comes to the squadrons, because the standalone ships just look weird on a single stick, but look too small on a prong with other ships.
>>44472240
I think the issue is that youngster + marksmanship is just not terribly good. By all means prove me wrong because I like the combo.

>>44472439
Because she's spent most of her life alone, surviving off her own skills. She had to come to terms with what was being asked of her, she had to grow up and stop fending just for herself but fend for other people too. Just like Luke and any other mythical hero, she had to accept her destiny to be more than just some random layabout.
Ahsoka is just designed as a quirky fap bait for children like you. She's also just some throwaway character from a kid's cartoon that started in the worst critically rated and least commercially successful Star Wars cinematic release.
>>44472550
There's very little difference between hipsters and grognards.
/tg/ is composed near entirely of both.
>>44472532

Yes, but not only that is that all of them have plump, round female asses. At least, the chick aliums we're supposed to be oggling do. There are no other forms/layouts of muscle mass and fat deposits is all I'm saying.

Because she's a standoffish cunt
Watch the one Bonteri episode - she basically tries to get the kid to comment on her sexually, and then gives him shit when he tries to play it safe - keep in mind shes walking around with two lightsabers visible, and has been giving said kid the stink eye the whole time.
It was a weird scene. Especially considering she goes lesbian for Barriss in later seasons
>>44472772
at least she wouldnt be a murderer
>>44472646
Because Papanoida is Lucas's self-insert.
No one here can say that like Ahsoka for any more complex reason than muh Captain Kirk alien chick with weird skin fetish.
>>44472621
A trained force user will always outdo an imitator, and most of the Emperor's Hands are very poor imitators indeed.

TFA was action cram-packed sure, but they paced the movie better than trash like Transformers or Avengers I felt. There was also quite a lot of neat details that added to the setting, giving a nice sense of the passage of time and even the evolution of certain themes in the series.

Except the OT was just as flawed and built just as much around selling toys. In fact you could argue it's even worse, since they're still making and selling new Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and Obi Wan shit to appeal to people just like you. So really, you've been bending over with George's Death Star beaming into your anus this whole time.

Can i just say that the scene in TCW S2E6 "Weapons Factory" where Ahsoka and Barriss are trapped under all that rubble and suffocating gets mah dick hard as fucking durasteel every time.Suffocation/Asphyxiation fetish plus the two best girls in the entire series is instant bonerall i can think of when i watch that is how hard their nipples must be, how close to each other they are and how muddled their thoughts are from lack of oxygen. Plus at least we humans generally get horny as fuck when our brain gets low on oxygen.

>Why did they let the escape pod go? They said it had no life signs, yet they weren't looking for a person but for some software/hardware. Neither of which have life signs. Even then, there are plenty of sentient beings all over the place in this setting that don't have life signs, aka droids.
>What are the fucking chances that the moment Leia's craft is boarded, they happen to be over the hiding place of Obi Wan Kenobi? There are about 100,000,000,000 planets in a galaxy and it would take 100,000 years to travel across one at the speed of light. Even without bringing science into it, galaxies are fucking huge. Then on top of that, it just so happens to land near his home? That's like if you threw a box at the Earth from the Moon and it just so happened to land by your friend's house.
>Luke feels no emotion when two people who are effectively his parents are brutally murdered. He looks a little bit cross, then that's it. Similarly, Leia's reaction to her homeworld being destroyed, thus her parents, all childhood friends, pretty much everyone and anywhere she's ever know being destroyed, is to say "WHAT?" and then look a bit incredulous for 4 seconds. How do you justify this lack of acting and/or character development?

>This is compounded by the fact that they don't even KNOW there'll be a weakness in the Death Star plans. On the off chance there is, she's lead a planet-destroying weapon to their Rebel base rather than (pretty easily) throwing them off her trail or at least delaying them.

>>44473438
>GR-75 modified to be a home base for a starfighter squad
Decent enough concept. Would the GR-75 even be big enough to fit a full twelve fighters plus fuel, munitions, engineers, spare parts, etc.?
And given its fragility and poor armament, it would likely need to be far, far away from any actual fighting.

Why did Obi-Wan or these guys never tell Luke about his father or sister if they knew the whole time?

Interesting list but I think Ello Asty would be better than one of the aces, he'd be able to do a white talon roll and then a daredevil movement or any other action
>>44473685

R2 is a jerk
Obi-wan did not want to boy to know
>>44473694
I only went with red ace instead of Ello because the points cost difference allows for you to use the integrated astromech
but Ello would probably be the better call
>>44473685
Because as of ANH, they weren't his father or sister. Feel free to make up your own "fanon", but that's the reality.
Well, it's just Obi-Wan and R2, by the way. C3PO gets a memory wipe at the end of III.

>2 shitty phone games are
Mind you, one of those phone games still brought back the HWK-290 and Dark Troopers. As shitty as it was, I commend Commander for that.
On an unrelated note, a past thread discussed the pros and cons of a starfighter carrier that worked on real-life concepts--catapult launches, a single large flight deck, etc. as opposed to Star Wars' usual multi-hangar model with repulsorlift launches. The Star Wars formula seems more practical for hull integrity and such but I've got a boner for catapult launches. Is there any way to make this concept work on a ship? What feasible technical reason could a carrier have for the one-deck, catapult launch system?

Didn't the rebel pocket carrier in SW Rebels use a BSG-esque catapult system to launch Phoenix Squadron's A-Wings? Or have my memory been fogged by too much food and drink this last week?
What are the skill sets for the new guardian specializations in Keepers of the Peace? I want to make a high int trandoshan who's the mechanic but also brawls it up and thought armorer sounded close.

Reminds me that Leon has some of the most uncomfortable scenes of any movie I've watched. I swear man, I wonder how Luc got away with it
>>44473800
Not sure. Been a while since I watched any episode of Rebels. I thought it was a Night Caller-style setup when I first watched that episode.
>>44473740
I imagine a catapult launch is handy for scrambles, gets them up to combat speed super quick.
I'm not a militaryfag to have any idea of comparative launch rates, a well set up catapult system could likely get more ships out the door faster as well. Especially something like what I remember from the TIE Fighter games, where the TIEs are rack mounted and fed out the launch hole one at a time. Just add a catapult instead of simply dropping it.
>>44473740
Perhaps go a little of both and have BSG style catapault launch tubes with seperate landing decks.
>>44473831
>uncomfortable
>>44473740
It carries Droid fighters and you can store them far better in a gigantic clip. The launch area consists of a space for them to unfold, then a catapult to launch them, which the carrier does at breakneck speed.
Real carriers have single flight decks because that's the only way to realistically launch planes. Star Wars hangars are a problem because there's too much wasted space. The main advantage is that you can launch all your fighters at once, but you have shitloads of hangar bays (which are a structural weakpoint) when you could have a single bay + fighter storage and an elevator.
>>44473740
BSG had a good example of catapult launching space fighters
>>44473781
It's true. The idea of Vader being his father was invented several drafts into ESB. This has been established for a long time now. The Emperor wasn't invented until those drafts too. In ANH Vader describes himself as a "Master", Leia says she should've guessed Tarkin would be holding Vader's leash, not Palpatine. Even when we did see Palpatine in ESB, he was played by a woman with chimp eyes superimposed over her face and voiced by some guy other than McDiarmid. They just half-assed some shit, not expecting him to have to actually appear.
Remember, it was just called "Star Wars" until they started writing ESB, not ANH or Episode IV. Don't get me wrong, I'm saying this derogatively, I love how writers piece things together and incorporate new ideas as they go along.
>>44473886
is the scene supposed to be that shaky or is that just the gif?
>>44473920
That's the scene. BSG has a lot of camera work like that.
>>44473658
The really tricky bit is you don't exactly have any of the best astromechs for the T-70

Did they actually say how Han lost his ship between VI and VII?
>>44474570
I'm sure it will be covered in the new expanded universe
You are now aware that in the novelization, it's explained that Anakin was conflicted over whether he should slay the younglings or show them a secret passage out of the temple. It was only when Sors Bandeam mistakenly said, "Master Skywalker, there are too many of them! What are we going to do?" that Anakin was reminded of how the Jedi Council denied him the rank of Master without explanation, and that feeling of betrayal was powerful enough to harden his resolve and give him the strength he needed to complete his mission.
And yes, I realize some of you know this already but I'm surprised it doesn't get talked about more.

>>44472068
I know this is b8, but I've seen people seriously arguing that luke inexplicably got force powers too, and therefore he's a mary sue.
The difference between Rey and Luke, at least in their debut movies, is that luke was actually shown practicing the force powers he used.
The only force power that luke used in ANH was letting it guide him while shooting things at the death star. Earlier in the movie, luke was practicing exactly that: Letting the force guide him as he fought blind against a taser droid.
>Training to let force guide him
>it is established that this hokey religion stuff can guide you in combat scenarios, if obi wan is right
>later, force is used to guide luke in a combat scenario.
This results in a moment of triumph for the character.
Contrast, rey, whose use of the force is completely as the plot demands. There's no moment of triumph. Just a complete lack of dramatic tension, because any problematic scenario Rey gets into, you know she'll develop a force power spontaneously to get out of it.
There's nothing wrong with Rey's personality. There's a shit ton wrong about how her character is developed. People who complain about her being a mary sue are complaining about her writing, not the fact that she's a strong female character.
It isn't an attack on feminism or women, it's an attack on shitty writing.
>>44474570
>Did they actually say how Han lost his ship between VI and VII?
It was stolen. How did you miss that part?
>Where did you get this ship?!?
>I stole it from [NAME], who stole it from [NAME], who stole it from [NAME]
>Who stole it from me!
>>44474663
Luke was shown very briefly practising at an age that is apparently way to old. Rey is heavily implied to have been trained at a young age before being left on Jakku for her own safety.
Luke can magically fly an X-Wing because he's driven some kind of speeder in a desert? So I guess I can fly an F22 because I can drive a Ford Focus? How does the Force even help you aim? When has anyone ever used Force accuracy before? It's a totally unrelated skill to knowing where a little drone is going to shoot a weak laser beam. Luke practised for all of 20 seconds. Rey has at least had to fend for herself for 20 years or so and, as I said, has been heavily implied to have been one of the ex-students of Luke.
Remember, unlike the original film, this wasn't originally written as a one shot, from the very beginning it's written as part 1 of 3.

>Luke can magically fly an X-Wing because he's driven some kind of speeder in a desert
He's stated as learning to fly several times in the movie, hinting/stating it was at some sort of academy; possibly an imperial one. Early on with his Aunt and Uncle it's mentioned when he wants to leave and Uncle Owen pushed him to stick around through the next harvest. Later on when he's in the cantina and Solo asks for 10,000 credits to fly them to Aldeeran. I'm pretty sure there's later mentions of it, but it's I can't remember it.
How much of I-III was planned when the orginals were made?
>>44474609
Goddamn that is some heavy shit. I hear good things about the novelization I might have to check it out. But isn't master what you call people who outrank you anyway, even if they are just Knights? It's confusing since Knight is a rank but no one is ever just called that. Also Ahsoka calls Anakin master a lot but he is her personal teacher rather than just a Jedi who outranks her.

>Fighting over Yavin
>Luke is suddenly able to time and aim a shot through an X-Wing's systems in such a way that elite pilots find it inconceivable even though his only Force training so far has been a game of predicting something else shooting at him.
Every single use of the Force is unprecedented. It's just you've seen that film, and the rest of the OT, so many times over so many years that you just accept every single thing about them.

Four expensive turbolasers on a fragile-ass TIE?
You know what? Fuck it. This isn't even the worst idea the Empire had in old canon.
>>44474912
No, his actual explanation is that he's shot "wamp rats" from his speeder. Remember, it's a kid's film made to sell toys, they weren't exactly putting all that much effort into this. Rather than have a 10 minute training montage they thought they'd just hand wave it away and hope the 7-year-olds didn't notice.
I don't have a problem with that. I just have a problem with people turning the kind of critical eye on TFA that would completely fucking disintegrate ANH and the other earlier films.

>The most heated fan theory pertains to Rey’s parents; by way of Leia or Luke, she is the child of a Skywalker. Given her innate gift with the Force without formal training, the lineage seems likely. But I hope this is a misdirect. The idea that the fate of the galaxy rests on the shoulders of a single group of Chosen People is counter to the work Disney has done creating a new, more inclusive saga with its characters.
>There’s an obvious inclusivity mission in these films that wasn’t present in the originals, where women and people of color are on the front lines. The Force may be strong in Luke’s family, but it has awakened in a way that paves the way for a new Jedi Order with whole new champions. That’s not only timely and necessary in Hollywood at large, but commercially savvy — kids from all backgrounds would love nothing more than to see themselves in the series.
>Suggesting that it’s Rey’s lineage that makes her destined for greatness dilutes that opportunity. It’s the same problem everyone had with midichlorians; instead of everyone having access to the Force, you suddenly had to be born with it. Admittedly, there’s a classic satisfaction to the notion that Rey, a "nobody," descends from the greatest Jedi that ever lived. It’s a Cinderella story. But the Skywalkers needn’t be royalty; they should represent the normal man or woman who found their way to greatness.
>Rey can and should represent just what Luke represented in 1977: the potential for anyone, even if they’re from a desert planet, to go on a hero’s journey and save the galaxy. Making her a Skywalker undoes that.
The funny thing is that Vergere already complained about the dangers of the Skywalkers forming a Jedi dynasty back in the EU
>>44474912
Luke's T-16 was also built by Incom with a control layout that was very similar to the X-wing's, according to the reference books and visual dictionaries tied to the OT. It's less "truck to jet fighter" and more "civilian prop plane to WWII USN prop fighter." There's less of a learning gap.
>>44474920
V and VI weren't even planned when IV was made. There was no "IV" or "ANH" at first, it was just "Star Wars".
I thought about this; Finn and his fellow brainwashed soldiers don't have names.
Captain *Phasma* has a name, or at least an obvious alias. Why is this?

Not in the film, though. The fact some people that had nothing to do with the actual film retconned some shit in later doesn't change the films themselves.
In less than a day, Luke went from fixing tools on a farm to being the best X-Wing pilot in the galaxy and single-handedly destroying the Death Star.
