>Disney turned one of the most interesting charactersof the star wars universe into useless canon
Why
>>68211034
he is in no way canon
>Gary Stu
>interesting character
>>68211034
He's gonna get reintroduced.trust me
Suits dont play childrens games man.
>>68211034
Kyle Katarn is overrated garbage, this motherfucker was a former Empire stooge turned rebel spy, ace fighter pilot/weapons expert who then became a Jedi, went to the Dark Side then came back to the Light.
And people call the new Rogue One chick a mary sue? FUCK OFF!
>>68211034
>useless canon
What did he mean by this
>>68211034
he looks like nothing more than a bantha herder..
MODS MODS MODS!
Anon has the audacity to question Disney.
>REMINDER: Jungle Book is objectively better than the Godfather.
>>68211118
Yeah but I got to be him so it's all cool. He's a video game character, he's literally every players self insert. So it makes it cool and ok.
>>68211147
you look like bantha poodoo though
>Rogue one bitch stealing the death star plans
One common misperception about the expanded universe is that a lot of authors each got their pet characters to steal the Death Star plans. Jyn Erso, Bria Tharen, Garm Bel Ilbrus and Hal Horn, and Kyle Katarn are all accused of stealing the plans. However, it is Kyle Katarn that is the guilty party here.
In Tales from the New Republic Garm Bel Ilbrus and Hal Horn come across information that indicates that the Empire is building a super-weapon. What they discover is the information that the Death Star exists, NOT the plans themselves.
Kyle Katarn is the one who steals the Death Star plan. This actually happens in the first level of Dark Forces, and at the end of his first graphic novel. He transmits the plans on to the next rebel cell. A circuitous route is used to get the plans to Princess Leia, to try to keep suspicion away from her (she's currently the Rebellions highest place operative, being an Imperial Senator).
And so Bria Tharen's cell is used to transmit the plans. She made it to the world of Toprawa, where her cell seized control of an Imperial comm center and held it while the techs transmitted the stolen plans to a Rebel courier ship. Even Bria herself didn't know that Leia was in command aboard that ship. She was simply passed the plans, and was assigned to pass them on to the next person.
>>68211270
shut up
>>68211034
This nigger is an even bigger Mary Sue than Rey.
>>68211374
I wouldn't go that far, he actually has a backstory for most of his powers and undergoes training for his forcepowers. Rey just does everything flawlessly right off the bat because reasons.
>>68211118
sounds coo to me. why r u so butt blasted? was your mother he fucked?
>>68211359
C'mon Disney, didn't you even read/play the IP you bought? I thought you cared about the Star Wars.
>>68211034
Jedi outcast was the game that introduced me to Star Wars back when I was 11. I suppose he is the Starkiller of my generation.
I bought Jedi Outcast on Steam a while back.I think I'm still on the second level or something. Don't even have a lightsaber yet
>>68211118
>went to the Dark side
Seriously? Fuck, maybe he IS a Mary Sue
>Came back to the Light side
If true, he's even worse then.

>Calling Kyle Katarn Mary Sue
kek, the mary sue it's you, anon, you were the one controlling his life through all the games, if he became a mary sue it's because you wanted.
has anyone killed more people in the star wars universe than kyle katarn? all those armies of stormtroopers
i'm disregarding disney's canon obviously
>>68211778
Yup.
Also, the only person who turned him back to the light side was his apprentice, Mara Jade, a former servant of the Emperor who married Luke Skywalker
>>68211605
Played by some fugly dude, hell no.
>>68211977
Ah, I know Mara Jade.
Honestly, I've heard of loads of bullshit in EU but being an Imperial agent, then a Rebel, then a Jedi, then Dark Side, then Light Side, is some serious shit.
>>68211118
The point has always been about struggle. Kyle struggles with things, he's not instantly good at everything.
Unlike Rei
>people hating on kyle
>>68211400
He is a better jedi than Luke, a better pilot than Solo and mastered the darkside powers without corrupting himself somehow even if wiser Jedis tried before.
>Calling Kyle Mary Sue
If you ever read a SW comic, book or whatever from EU, or even official, you'll realize all main characters are Mary Sue as fuck, like reading 40k novels.
Kyle is probably the least Sue one because at least he has tons of flaws, suffers PSTD and doesn't want to fight anymore.
>>68212051
>I've heard of loads of bullshit in EU but being an Imperial agent, then a Rebel, then a Jedi, then Dark Side, then Light Side, is some serious shit.
Literally half the new Jedi Order.
Luke also walks between the dark side and the light side like it were the kitchen and the living room, zero repercussion.
>>68211961
Luke blew up a death star with a shit ton of people on it.
>>68212092
>better Jedi than Luke
Confirmed for never reading shit

Threadly reminder that Disney is not saying you're not allowed to play a Kyle Latarn game, nor are they saying that Kyke Katarn doesn't exist in anything made before their acquisition. They are only saying that for their own version of Star Wars Kyle Katarn is not featured, and if that angers you the you are holding their control over the setting in irrationally high regard even though you claim to reject it.
>>68212095
OT characters cannot be Mary Sues since they were created by the original author. KK is a OC donut steel.

I think that Disney meant to BTFO all the EU nerds. Who wants to stand in queue with a Star Wars nerd trying to talk to you about his favorite comic book character? Who wants to sit next to a cheeto dusted loser in the theater? Nobody, and normies least of all.
Disney BTFO'd all the EU nerds hoping they'd stay away because they're appealing to the normie segment now and the normie segment is uncomfortable around the EU nerds. The fewer EU nerds, the more normies.
>>68212251
>Video games are for degenerates
Don't you have some feminist films to watch? I hear Force Awakens is very progressive!
Or how about some TV? I know, lets watch that show where the husband is a retard and his wife is the smart one who straightens him out when he acts silly.
Or how about we watch Sex and the City?
Or how about the new Star Wars film? GIRLS CAN KICK ASS TOO YOU KNOW
>Video games are for degenerates

Why do women and SJWs love to say the F word so much? I legitimately have no idea why that word is so prevalent with that side of the fence.
Anyone else stops using that word in their common vernacular once they hit their 20's, but with the left and SJWs they just can't compose a single sentence without "IT'S FUCKING BECAUSE OF...".
>>68212575
Yes
>>68212575
is it worth it to not play all the jedi knight games?
Kyle is alright, he even has an archnemesis of some sort, who is also pretty good.

>All these "fans" who dislike Katarn
I guarantee you these are the same people who stared blindly at TFA trailer and just mumbled "C..CHEWIE!... H.. HAN!... R...R2D2!". They only like Star Wars because it's the "cool nerd" thing to do now.
20 years ago they'd be swearing off the entire franchise as nerd shit and be hyping up the next Kevin Smith normie shit fest.

I don't know man, I love me some Star Wars, but just never got around to playing that particular game. I hardly know the character, except for some short bits in Jedi Academy. Watching you guys spaz out because "muh Kyle" isn't in ONE form of SW-media is pretty grand tho smdh
>>68215092
i don't think there's any piece of EU that rises to truly great quality in terms of literature, but it's certainly not all trash
Disney made a movie about him and made him into a girl
Diego Luna is Kyle Katarn
Felicity Jones is Jan Ors (Jyn Erso)
it's pretty obvious

Are you retarded? He was a video game character. Of course he was self inserted greatness. They let you choose your force powers from dark or light side to make a fun game. Fucking hell.

>Empire stooge
Most everyone was in the Empire at one time or another. They are massive and conscripted against the wills of the people. Meaning, they'd come to your backwater planet and round up everyone of age and ability and force you to work for the Empire. Most of the people couldn't comprehend the entity that conscripted them let alone feel they could ever in any way go against it. Only the merest scrap of a percentage of those people became rebels. Had more known or had the chance, there would be more rebels, but not many really. Most of the people were brainwashed/indoctrinated.
You have to remember why you are seeing things from the Rebel's point of view,
>Films like that are to be an outlet for a society's pent up anger towards its own government. It is a form of control, a release valve to prevent any sort of actual retaliation against the governement or people in places of power.
>Watching these movies pacifies you. You live vicariously through the movie. This allows you to remain a good sheep and little consumer whore.
>It is just more dehumanizing social propaganda meant to desensitize people to such atrocities as well as a release valve for their own pent up aggression caused by their own lives so they never rise up and act against the machine the put them there in the first place.

Kyle Katarn was based but I don't have an issue with him being replaced. As for the EU it is great lore-wise but shit novel-wise. Some parts of it are awesome like the Vong war and some parts are retarded like the 3 clones of Luke Skywalker.

>>68219116
There was only one, ever, clone of Lukes Skywalker, called Luuke. It was made from his hand that got chopped off and was mentally unstable and was a pawn by its creator.
It is a common bandwagon act to hold up Luuke as an example of why the EU was bad. Make of it what you will.
Later on, as a joke, the author took the pics out of his work and said there was another clone named Luuuke. This was done in a non-Canon (even to the EU) message to his writers.
People here like to post links to the page about Luuuke and say "OH THANK GOD THE EU IS GONE THIS SHIT WAS SO DUMB" despite Luuuke only being a joke to make fun of Luuke.
NOT VIDEO GAMES
