Since based Disney completely shat on the prequels (in the sense of totally ignoring them), is it safe to assume that they aren't canon anymore?
>>63745793
I don't think you understand how continuity works, anon but all of the movies are canon. ALL of them regardless of you not wanting them to be.
>>63745793
>On April 25, 2014, Lucasfilm and Disney removed all Expanded Universe works from the canon. They announced that the existing six films and The Clone Wars television series are the "immovable objects" of Star Wars storytelling.

I don't even know why you had to mention the films, the films themselves are untouchable to any canon or continuity changes.
theres 3 universes now
lucas
eu
disney

Unless Disney goes full "Days of Future" past
>>63746124
Which is the best?
My ranking (haven't seen TFA, but i have seen all of Rebels and ive read most of the comics and a lot of the books, disney and pre disney)
LUCAS
EU
DISNEY
>>63746167
They can't because Clone Wars )and By extension rebels) is based soo heavily on the PT.
The only thing related to the prequels I noticed was Kylo mentioning the clone army to Hux while they were bickering
>>63746009
What about the Ewok movies?
>>63746167
They will never do that.
>>63746231
'no'
On Jakku you can see several battle droids and rollerdroids (totally forgot what the fuck those are called so I'm going with that) being sold for scraps, therefore, still canon biatch!
...sadly
>>63746282

Hey reddit
>>63746231
Nope, only the 6 films, TCW and then everything Disney has produced so far (so Episode VII, Rebels and all the comics, novels and games released after they bought the franchise).
>corporate committee film making
>based
Found the redditor.
>>63745793
You're forgettign the rumors that Hayden Christensen is going to have a cameo as a ghost sooner or later (because a hooded Darth Vader cameo would be too stupid and Sebastian shaw is dead, so they're kind of stuck). While they're only rumors, if they happen, that means the prequels are as canon as the first films.
Plus, disney is taking the "only the movies are canon" thing to its logical extreme. They actually made the Outrider canon because it appeared 2 seconds in A New Hope (Special Edition, of course), but ONLY the Outrider. Dash Rendar or Shadows of the Empire are still not canon.
Episode III is fucking brilliant
>>63746282
the ones that roll up into balls? Destroyer droids
>>63746348
This. People are strange to not like it.
>>63746353
aren't they called droidekas?
>>63746534
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Droideka
> Droidekas, also known as Destroyer Droids or Rollies
> Rollies
I just can´t do this anymore.
>>63746315
That means the Grievous Mon Calamari and Han's black wife are canon?
>>63746821
yup
>meet the new EU, same as the old EU
>>63746776
>MFW Britbongs called Rollypollys to Droidekas.

Prequels were declared Legends and not part of the main canon two years ago.

Have a pity (You).
Disney has plans for the prequel/clone wars era. I can't say much now...
>>63746348
>Episode III is fucking brilliant
>>63746390
Anyone else felt like the destruction ofCoruscantwas meant as a big fuck you too the prequels?
>>63745793
They didn't *totally* ignore the prequels.
Clone armies were mentioned. Bringing balance to the Force was mentioned.
>>63746915
To sell toys
>>63746928
It wasnt Coruscant
I've seen the movie, Midi-chlorian haven't been mentioned once
>>63746928
I just felt it wasn't Coruscant.
>>63746840
Ayy
>>63746821
> google han solos black wife
> see this
Wow, it took Disney less than a year of new material to make the universe just as convoluted and stupid as the old one.
Whats with the Mon Calamari, I can´t find anything.
>>63746863
>Prequels were declared Legends and not part of the main canon two years ago.
This.
This happened almost immediately after Disney acquired Star Wars. They cut all the horrible shit from canon and wanted only the Original Trilogy and related material.
It is why Clone Wars was cancelled and dropped, it is why you do not see a single piece of merch related to any prequel character in a store, it is why the new film does not acknowledge episodes 1-3 in any way whatsoever. Because right now they never happened.
>>63746282
What's wrong with it being canon?
Memedrones can't be this dumb, the plot is not bad at all and it tied the story together pretty well, you could argue that how it was presented wasn't very enjoyable to watch but the plot and world is still solid and adds a lot of depth to the Star Wars universe.
The original trilogy is actually very limited in scope, it's basically just evil nazis ruling the galaxy for no good reason, without the prequels the Star Wars universe would be nothing but Empire vs Rebels fighting in a few planets and that's it.
>>63747023
5 star post.
Nah, the flags of the pod racers are in maz castle, she also mentions the sith and how lukes saber was Anakins once too
>>63747021
A third of all Lego sets that came out this year were from The Phantom Menace.
>>63747023
You have to get extremely broad with the plot of the prequels in order to say it is fine. As basically every detail of the plot of the prequels terrible.
>>63747122
nope
>>63747103
>>63747092
>>63747023
There needs to be an Exterminatus declared on this shit.
>>63747021
I saw General Grievous and Darth Maul toys last week in a store.
>>63747133
>40k baby
Why am I not suprised
>prequels
>bad
Hello facebook movie buff. The prequels were much better written, they had actual characters and story, not a bunch of memes and one-liners that lack any emotion or coherence. Luke is a cliched everyboy "hero" that goes through an absurdly rapid transformation between the fifth and the sixth episodes. Anakin's emotional instability and his exposure as a psychopath are gripping; and his doomed relationship with Padme is touching. In the "original trilogy" Han, Leia, Darth Vader and Obi Wan are complete meme characters, nothing about them is remotely believable or human. And why doesn't anyone care about deaths in those movies? Leia's planet destruction, Luke's stepparents' death, all of the blown up rebels--the list could go on--all the deaths are forgotten moments later.
As for direction, the movies from the "original trilogy" were mostly incoherent, badly edited and full of logical problems. The prequel trilogy is a work of a "vulgar auteur".
>>63747130
Stellar retort.
>>63747016
Here: >>63747013
>>63747165
nice pasta
Hopefully they remake the prequels after Episode IX
>>63747021
Um I work at target and there are PLENTY of toys featuring prequel characters
>>63747213
Hopefully you drop dead after I hit send
>>63747204
>cant refute it because his knowledge of cinema only comes from youtube reviewers and feelings
Don't post at me again until you understand art. Thanks
>>63747274
Its pasta, why would I attempt to argue with someone who can't even generate original thought?
>>63747243
You like the prequels?
>>63747165
I share this opinion but nobody cares about death in Star Wars at all except Obi-Wan when he says "he killed younglings".
I haven´t even noticed this "Luke is dark now" thing before people mentioned it in 2013/14. He just has black robes and used force choke on two gamorreans, he did literally nothing else out of the ordinary in ROTJ, he didn´t change one bit.
>>63747165
come on, let's drop this meme
>>63747298
Why are you pretending you even can when its very clear you can't?
>>63747298
Pasta like that usually starts being reposted because the guy who originally typed it out was never refuted.
Prequels Obi-Wan was a great character, possibly even the best character in the whole series.
>>63747298
Not him, but so far googling his post doesn't show any other person copying it, so if you could elaborate as to how it is pasta, that'd be nice.
>>63747320
I was just shitposting m8.But yes, I love the prequels.
>>63747016
What is the story behind this? He doesn't seem too happy about it.
>>63746964
>>63746970
What? It certainly looked like it.
>>63747365
>PLS LEABORAT ON HOW COPY/PASTE POST ES PASTA
... I...
>>63747021
Clone Wars got a 6th season though AFTER its cancellation.
>>63747213
>Implying they didn't drop the original prequels just to Jew more money out by making their own prequels
>>63747023
Colo Claw Fish pls go
>>63747342
How do you refute something that is completely subjective?
>>63747021
Thank you disney.
>>63747408
Since its a pre-rendered CGIfest, cancellation likely came down late in the production cycle, so, since they had the episodes, they might as well air them.
>>63745793
Disney also sat on the Original Trilogy.
It probably means their movie isn't canon.
>>63745793
Why is the stormtrooper black?
What happened to the clones?
>>63746009
But doesn't TCW borrow stuff from other EU anyway?
>>63747672
That was Lucas pulling stuff he found cool out of the EU and redoing it for canon. Disney's press release says they are open to doing the same.
They didn't ignore them.
Kylo Ren quips that Stormtroopers are so incompetent that they should've stuck with the Clones
They used the term The Sith, which was first used in the prequels (at least on film)
C3PO's arm was red like in Attack of the Clones
They mention the Outer Rim, somewhere first mentioned in the prequels
Maz's bar has the flags from the podrace hanging from the walls
Lightsabers deflect blaster bolts, first seen in the prequels
One of the Stormtroopers has a Magnaguard staff
Does the new movie even explain who the knights of ren are? Or am I supposed to read some shitty book to figure that out
>>63747967
>Lightsabers deflect blaster bolts, first seen in the prequels
Thats been going on since a new hope
>>63747629
see the movie
>>63748230
I watched it but still don't know why they are not using clones anymore.
>>63747629
When you leave a Maori for too long under the sun he becomes like Boyega.
>>63747967
Clone wars were mentioned in new hope, "Outer rim" is a region of every galaxy.
the rest are laughable.
>>63747165
>still nothing
Literally BTFO
>>63747967
>outer rim first being mentioned in the prequels
Uh no.
It was mentioned in the first film
Canon is fucking retarded, which is how Lucas treated it. Only the movies should count but the kikes at Disney want to sell a new EU
>>63748362
Its kinda sad you've been waiting three days to get in a fight over your completely subjective opinion.
>>63747629
The Clone Wars explained that the genetic material of Jango Fett deterioates and they would have to start cloning clones from the clones of Jango which results in imperfect clones so they just started drafting from systems under their control.
>>63747726
>That was Lucas pulling stuff he found cool out of the EU and redoing it for canon. Disney's press release says they are open to doing the same.
AYYY EU writers on suicide watch
>>63746348
FROM MY POINT OF VIEW EPISODE III IS BRILLIANT
Only 4-6 are canon.
FRIENDLY REMINDER to downvote the movie into oblivion on all major review sites. spread this
>>63747021
>it is why you do not see a single piece of merch related to any prequel character in a store, it is why the new film does not acknowledge episodes 1-3 in any way whatsoever. Because right now they never happened.
>the new disney infinity features darth maul and other prequel characters
Yeah, you are full of shit as always.
>>63747013
the fuck is this shit?
We'll have to see what they do with Rogue One and the Han Solo movies before we can declare the prequels non-canon, or at least IF Disney COULD make them non-canon down the line.
As of now they easily could re-do the prequels with a different story that ends in the same place once Lucas croaks.
>>63749736
They referenced the prequels several times already so it's obviously canon.
>>63747092
>how lukes saber was Anakins once too
In a ANH, Ben gives Luke Skywalker the lightsaber and tells him that it was his fathers onceand that he was a good friend
>>63745923
>I don't think you understand how continuity works
It's like how X-men aren't part of the Marvel cinematic universe and Bale's Batman isn't part of the DC equivalent.
>>63747213
>>63745793
But Snoke is Plagueis.
>>63745793
The only thing that isn't canon is the new trilogy. TFA is basically bad fanfiction desu senpai.
>>63746101
Tell that to trek
>>63746321
I think all three of those people should be taken out back and shot.
>>63746860
Actually, 'rollie' in the UK means a hand-rolled cigarette. Commonly smoke by the poor, stoners, hipsters, students, and poor stoner hipster students.
