Which is currently the best Star Wars game available?
>>78376923
Kotor
>>78376923
Galaxy of Heroes
>>78376943
This, to be completely honest, family.
>>78376923
Probably KotOR, Rogue Squadron 2, The Force Unleashed, or Jedi Knight 2. The new Battlefront is honestly a lot of fun though.
>>78376976
Was it autism?
Ciena Ree best girl.
Phasma inflation porn when?
So I was hoping you guys could point me in the right direction. In the EU, there are some "good" bad guys, good people who are stuck on the wrong side of the conflict, like Soontir Fel.
What I'm looking for are some "bad" good guys; people working for the Rebellion that were willing to go to any length and use any unscrupulous edge to unseat the Empire.
Does anyone fit that bill?
>>78376988
No, it was Podracing
>>78376986
>TFU
>implying
So I found a torrent for all of TCW organized chronologically and in BluRay Quality
The catch is it's 101gb. And there aren't any seeders.

>work at toysrus

Which one should I get guys
>inb4 a-wing
1/2
>>78377048
2/2
>>78377034
Netflix bruh
>>78377065
The ISD!
>>78377067
I like having stuff where I can watch it wherever I want, whenever I want. Even without internet.
>>78377048
I've always found Maul's Infiltrator to be unbelievably sexy but that's just me.
>>78377048
I'd get the A-Wing
Is SWTOR: Knights of the Fallen Empire canon?
better yet is there anything even worth taking from?
>>78377106
No and no.
>inb4 husbandofags
>>78376998
Best girl, worst culture.
>We must be ESPECIALLY loyal to the government that is not loyal to us.
Kinda really hope we get to see her again
>>78377129
Do you guys see this Rebel scum here?
>>78376998
I genuinely loved this book. Was not expecting to, and I'm not the target audience, but it was fucking fantastic. Really nice romance and a well written book.
>>78377162
Go get cucked some more Nash.
>>78377167
Yeah, I don't really see why it was marketed as a young adult novel.
Is the chewie mini worth reading?
>>78377129
I found it very endearing and admirable that she was so loyal, honorable, and honest.Too bad no such would woman would ever exist
>>78377106
No.
>>78377214
Yes
>>78377222
>>>/r9k/ is that way.
>>78377214
Not really, it's pretty boring like most of Marvel's comics.
>>78376923
Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight is on gog, and is fuckin dope. It even has live-action cutscenes, which are surprisingly good
>>78377098
It looks cool, but I don't see all of the hype about it.
>>78377093
Is Maul the only one who uses one? Does anyone else use one in canon or EU?
>>78377089
But which one?
>>78377255
The cutscenes are pretty funny.
>>78376923
The best game right now is Galaxy Of Heroes the other is Battlefront but is shit.
So if ypu have a good phone you can download it for free is pretty good. There are other ones too like Lego Star wars or Uprising but i prefer Heroes.
>>78377273
>>78377255
>>78377342
Him and Boc were the best parts, just plain fun to watch.
So should I leave this in its box until it's worth a lot of money to collectors, orcan I take it out of its box, fly it around, and then set it on my desk without feeling bad.
>>78377342
I just see him as the dad from That 70s Show
what comics are out tomorrow?
chewbacca and star wars?
>>78376923
Only one correct answer now and forever.All glory to the Pigquisitor!
>>78377505
I doubt that's ever really going to be worth that much to be honest, doesn't seem like it's be that rare, so you might as well. Nothing like me having opened Revan and Malak figures which would be worth like $300 each in their packaging today.
>>78377034
someone already uploaded TCW in blu-ray on KAT and it's only 29 gigs and in mp4
>>78377505
>worth a lot of money
Just open the damn thing, it's not going to be worth any more than what you paid for it.
>>78377067
>have to pay
>have to have internet to watch it
woah that's sure is better then any torretn
Christopher Yost is saying on Twitter that he's going to work on Rebels season 3.
>>78377738
This it? Dunno why I didn't think to check there. It's usually my first stop when looking for torrents.
https://kat.cr/star-wars-the-clone-wars-complete-both-animated-series-plus-feature-film-t11757526.html
>>78377782
Yup that's it. It got uploaded recently and is the only torrent with season 5 in HD. Only Catch is if you want it in chronology order you have to sort it yourselfI was going to link it to you but already submitted the post my bad man
Why did someone have to point stuff like this out to me?
I never noticed it before seeing people talk about it.
>>78377809
Cool. Not sure if I'm gonna go with it though since I'd honestly prefer 1080p and according to the description it's only 720p
>>78377856
Yeah got to take we we can get though. It took people ages to upload this collection so you may be looking for a long time. I'm just happy to have season 5 in HD now.I can't tell the difference between 1080P and 720P
I wish they were doing something like this this year.
>>78377934
They are.
It's releasedthe movie.
>Reylo
>>78377963
It's too late
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4DjqGiLp1M
>>78378067
AHAHAHAHA
>>78377963
Hey, it's poetry. Love made Anakin fall, love will redeem Kylo.
>>78378250
Love will redeem him, but will make her fall. Even stronger poetry.
>>78377207
It had a much more mature sense of storytelling than fucking Aftermath.
Also I really hope someone throws all of Cuck Wendig's godawful OCs into a fire
>>78378280
Temmin is in TFA, but I'm trying to remember if he dies or not. I feel like he gets shot down in the Starkiller trench but maybe that was someone else.
>>78378280
I hope you're ready to see Chuck shit all over Han and Chewie.
That or the book will tell the story on how they lost the Falcon.
What's the best Threepio fig out there?
>>78377963
>>78378067
>>78378321
Greg Grunwald says no. Apparently he just closed his mouth when his crash line was up.
>>78378321
He lived and will probably be a bigger deal in Ep 8
>>78378333
I'm betting Ben stole the Falcon when he went to the Dark Side and made his escape. And then left it on Jakku for Rey for when she was old enough.
>>78378250
No, creepy attachment and an unwillingness to accept that his loved ones would die is what caused Anakin to fall.
>>78378280
Well Aftermath was a by the numbers, group brought together by circumstances to accomplish objective X story. The same one that we've seen in a shit ton of EU books. Am I the only one that fucking loved Lost Stars having just a random mook's perspective from the major battles of the OT?
>>78378321
It was that one alien that wasn't Nien numb that blew up. Temmin lived as did girl pilot.
>the crew of the Ghost follow one of Rex's leads to an intact republic base that was captured by the separatists late in the clone wars. inside this lost repair facility lies something that can tip the balance of the rebellion: an entire fleet of mothballed Y-wings
BUT
>its protected battle droids who were cut off from the deactivation signal and are just as fucking annoying as ever. they would feature heavily in the episode
would you press the button?
You know more than the deaths of Han, Vader, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Ventress or any other tragic moment in the series the thing that bums me out the most is Threepio getting his memory wiped after Episode III. And they play it for laughs too.
>>78378394
I thought Lost Star was fucking brilliant, it was really cool and refreshing seeing the Imperial soldier's perspective on events and how the propaganda was fooling them so much. And I loved Thane's personal conflict with helping the Rebels because it was better than the Empire yet not fully agreeing with their cause and being skeptical. If you haven't already, you should read Battlefront: Twilight Company, you get a whole lot more of that kind of "foot soldier's perspective on the war and the ideology" type stuff. Very grounded, Band of Brothers type story with lots of good action. Highly recommend it.
>>78378649
I've always felt so sad that Vader never got to hang out with Threepio and R2 ever again, especially since the former was his best friend as a kid and he built him. I will always love this, no matter how not canon it is now.
>>78378646
Yeah. I ended up liking the B-1s.
>>78376923
KOTOR II
>>78378763
He gave her full portionsof alien cum.
>>78378657
Yeah, reading it right now. pretty good so far.
So the new books I've read so far
Great tier
Lost Stars
Dark Disciple (Even if the end part is kinda retarded)
Good Tier
New Dawn
Heir to the Jedi
Ok tier
Lords of the Sith
Tarkin
Mr Bones tier
Aftermath.
>>78377585
Just Vader
>>78378763
Gross
>>78378839
>Mr Bones tier
Fuck you Davis, Mr Bones was great
>>78378896
That's why Aftermath gets it's own tier Temmen and Mr Bones are great characters that are just trapped in a shit book.
>>78378909
I think you mean Temmin, Mr Bones AND Sinjir
>>78378925
Too true, not to mention Sloane.
>>78378949
Oh yeah, Sloane was fucking great too.
She needs to appear more. I'd love a book focused on her.
>>78378961
I really hope we get a Rebel episode that acts as a followup to New Dawn with her in it.
Also I'd like some more info on what other post-imperial fations are up to.
>>78378973
So it really was a riot control baton.
>>78378680
Why would a kid build a protocol droid to help his mom? She could use something to cook or clean or do repairs around the house instead, not a droid that is fluent in over 3 million forms of communication.
>>78379024
Because Lucas did not think for very long about it. Internal story logic was not his concern.
>>78378973
Kind of funny they have riot gear with anti-lightsaber capacity but against a true Jedi those guys would be absolutely fucked just from Force Push alone. And of course Kylo Ren has that weird Force Bind ability he can use not just on people but also blaster bolts, so depends on if those are Knights of Ren specific techniques.
While I'm talking about the picture did anyone else hate the majority of the vehicles introduced? That transport is just really bland, lacks the style of the old LAATs and the Imperial police version dropship/gunship. Also that stupid as fuck Resistance dropship.
stormtroopers are actually competent and merciless now.
you can thank jj for that.
http://www.themarysue.com/hasbro-wheres-rey-figures/
>Blah blah blah blah No Rey or Phasma in set of all men figures.
>Bitch, did you even go INTO the toy isle? I didn't think so.
>>78379024
He built what he could with what he had. Threepio has always been useful for more than just translating anyway. From a story standpoint, it's just supposed to convey that Anakin has a talent for repairing and tinkering with technology.
>>78379071
They were always merciless, however their competency is as variable as ever depending on plot requirements.
>>78379046
>Porkins Belly Run
Is that something you do on purpose or a joke for when you down an enemy?
>>78378973
Hmm. Something I also noticed in the movie, but why are Troopers so short and stocky looking? The ones in 4,5,6 were all tall and lean. Probably the only tiny nit pick I have for some odd reason.
>>78379071
Stormtroopers are fine for non main characters.
>>78379072
Hell I own a Rey figure. Only figure I've bought. I own her Lego set too, whatever that counts. I'm unrepentantly one of the people who fell for her character before the movie even came out. Pretty happy with how she was handled.
>>78379106
and now for main characters in the force awakens.
>>78379097
It's an old reference to the character. At least they didn't use "Piggy."
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jek_Tono_Porkins
>>78379113
Of course NOW I regret not buying the Star Wars swag when it was a little cheaper pre movie, cause I just couldn't trust myself to trust a new Star Wars movie. I wanted to get some Kylo stuff, but I was like...nah, he's going to be such a lame villain I just know it! Fuck, now I can't even FIND figures of him. Silly me.
>>78379130
I know who Porkins is. I pressumed that this is the Porkins Belly Run.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGwYj4AqB6Q
>>78379046
You know....I'm just really not interested in the lore or backstories of TFA like I was with the other films.
I think it's the rehashing of it. The fact that nothing is actually new, just the same story with a different coat of paint. I'm not interested to learn about Jess Pava because I know the era she lives in is boring as fuck. Nothing feels new...and it makes me sad...
>>78379072
I've never seen a Phasma. The only figures I've managed to get are a 3.5" Stormtrooper, a Black Series Guavian Enforcer, and a Black Series Kylo Ren. Really want Phasma, Hux, and Poe still. Might grab Rey, Finn, and some random aliens if I get the chance too.
>>78379148
I meant his nicknames, which were Belly Runner and Piggy in the EU, not that you didn't know who the character was.
FYI a Belly Run Maneuver is performed with your flab overtop the control stick while your hands are occupied with fast food.
>>78379150
>nothing is new
>knights of ren
>snoke
>>78379144
I feel that way about buying some of the Lego figures outside of their sets. Should have done it before Christmas, now the prices are insane. Oh well, there will be plenty of chances to acquire a BB-8 and so on.
>>78379150
Same. The universe doesn't feel quite as intriguing this time around. The characters are, so it's a tradeoff, but I'm not as eager to learn about Alien #4 or why the guy who hired Han to get those rathtars wanted them. Hell, I think Han mentioned having a crew and those things killed most of them, I'm not even that eager to find out who those guys were, and that feels weird because they had to have been pretty cool if they were working for Han and Chewie.
>>78379198
>Kyuzo
Well that's surprising. I mean, I guess the hat makes sense but his face doesn't look at all like Embo.
>>78379200
>knights of ren
The notSith/notInquisitors
>snoke
notPalpatine
It's all rehashes, man. It's the same story. All rehashes.
>>78379214
I'm not a fan of Maz and Snoke being both 1k years old. It just feels cheap. Poppa Palps was only 85 in RotJ
>>78379183
Porkins' legend will live for as long as pilots have to eat a quick meal and fly at the same time!
>>78379246
Yoda was 900 by the time he died. But yeah, it's kind of lazy for both. One would be fine, personally I'd prefer it to be Maz and not Snoke because of how eclectic she is so it makes sense, but that's just me.
>>78379225
Instead of expanding the universe, TFA shrank it to fit in the narrow perceptions of the general public.
I miss George. He had imagination. I realize now that literally every film JJ has done has had no imagination in it. He's never really crafted a world before like George has.
>>78379225
For me the story was compelling enough (even if it was a strong rehash of ANH) but the setting is weak. They didn't bother to flesh things out, which was a pretty bad misstep given it's been thirty years since the battle of Endor.
Whatever else the Prequels suffered from, the allure of the setting, the designs for people, places, and vehicles, created a fairly compelling backdrop to a story that sadly lacked cohesion. TFA is a step too far in the other direction (and it doesn't help that they carbon copied a lot of the plot points). Still it's something that can be built up, so I won't really complain.
>>78379245
>wow, why are there darkside users in star wars!
Is basically what you're saying, removing everything from context.
>>78379267
>>78379246
Next you faggots are gonna say Chewie should only be in his 50's instead of 200. Fuck off.
>>78379251
His broad glory shall never be forgotten.
>>78379288
Sure. Whatever, dude.
>>78379280
Name one good idea in Star Wars that is purely from George Lucas
>>78379309
great argument.
>>78379313
Making Star Wars movies was a pretty good idea.
>>78379313
No underwear in space, for one.
On a more serious note you do realize the vast majority of ideas came purely from George, even if other people refined them later. He was still the impetus and the driving vision was his. But of course not everything he came up with was golden.
>>78379317
Okay.
>>78379267
I'm okay with Maz being super-old (it also helps that she's endearing as a character). I'm not sure I want Snoke to be that old, but I guess it really depends on what his backstory is. They should have gone into that a little more, if only to explain to the audience why, despite the heavy emphasis on destroying the Sith and restoring balance in the previous films, there's suddenly another really big dark side user who may not technically be a Sith but seemingly behaves like one (at the very least we're not given enough information about Snoke to explain tell if he's completely different from how the Sith act and operate or if he's basically the same thing with a different name).
>>78379349
As it is we're not given enough to really distinguish him from Palpatine, let alone from the Sith in general.
>>78379349
The entire prophecy is an odious retcon that has nothing to do with what nakes Star Wars good. Fucking Naboo has a better chance of being referenced
I can see us getting a book that's set between 7 and 8 dealing with Republic politics concerning the First Orders brazen attack on their capital. Hopefully they print something that'll give us a little more context on the status of the Republic.
>>78379372
It's part of the story now whether you like it or not.
>>78379377
I want a book set before Episode 7 showing how the Republic/Senate worked BEFORE being destroyed again.
So can he use the Force tosatisfy Rey?
>>78379364
Why do people keep saying Snoke is just another Palpatine.
He's not at all. The problem isn't that Snoke is just another Palpatine it's that we don't know jack shit about Snoke. But he doesn't look nor act like Palpatine. And he's actually directly involved with the going ons of the First Order whereas Palpatine largely sat in the back and let his Moffs and Vader manage everything.
I mean the movie is full of flaws and is a total rehash of ANH but I don't see why Snoke being a bad guy suddenly makes him identical to Palpatine.
>>78379372
Even if you ignore the prophecy, this is basically just "Another Empire with another Palpatine" and we're not given enough to explain why this is different.
>>78379388
It is, but Anakin is dead and they have much better options
>>78379214
The CGI for Maz was pretty decent, though I'm a bit curious why they made her digital given their otherwise strong emphasis on "practical effects". Seems like Maz could have just been a short person with a prosthetic face embellishments and some animatronics. My best guess is they didn't feel it captured the "human" appeal enough as she interacted with people. Some of their effects, like Ackbar, really seemed lacking.
>>78379392
>The problem isn't that Snoke is just another Palpatine it's that we don't know jack shit about Snoke
That's exactly what I'm saying. There isn't enough to distinguish him because we don't know anything.
>>78379390
It's pretty heavily impliedthat they're related. Like Rey is probably his daughter.
>>78379417
But that's retarded. We don't know anything about a lot of characters. All we know about Maz is that she's old, small and related to the Jedi. MUST BE A YODA NOT ENOUGH TO DISTINGUISH OTHERWISE
>inb4 Rey's real name is Padme orAhsoka
>>78379427
Red herring
>>78379403
Still kind of wondering what their ghosts are doing. It's possible they were only allowed to exist for a short time to fulfill their destiny after death and then had to fuck off into the Netherworld of the Force, or I guess they're just, what, hanging back and letting the new kids on the block deal with stuff? Seemed like Kylo Ren actually felt Vader was showing him things and it's hard to imagine Yoda doesn't show up at some point. Also it raises the questions of whether that was really Obi-Wan speaking or some kind of weird Force echo.
>>78379392
He's another Palpatine because so far, he's filling the exact same roll Palpatine played in the OT.
There's more to these things than "looking and acting" the same. The story elements are all the same. You'd probably ask how people can think Rey and Luke are the same role because Luke is a boy and Rey is a girl. THEY'RE SO DIFFERENT!
>>78377034
Just how did you manage to get ost from Rebels?And when are u gonna add that sweet mucis from Legacy?
>>78379450
Well I think a bigger Obi-Wan and Yoda appearance next movie is likely.
I'm sure I wont regret this later.
>>78379225
I don't know, I really want to know more about the Guavian Death Squad personally. I have the Black Series figure of one of those guys and I think he looks awesome. Some of the other aliens in Maz's cantina also piqued my interest. Mainly though, I'm just dying to know more about the Knights of Ren and Kylo.
>>78379450
I want to believe Anakin is the cause of Kylo's tug at the light
>>78379389
Anything would be good really, now that 7 is out at least they can probably start setting out ideas for books in the long 30 year gap.
>>78379463
I hope so, though I'm curious. If they do Obi-Wan will they use Ewan McGregor and make him look older or use some of that Tron magic to digitally recreate Guinness with McGregor's voice? That seems...creepy.
>>78379479
There's literally a link to ebook files in the OP.
>>78379479
For fuck's sake do not buy Aftermath
>>78379450
There was an entire TCW arc about how they basically exist forever
>>78379450
>It's possible they were only allowed to exist for a short time to fulfill their destiny after death and then had to fuck off into the Netherworld of the Force
Qui-Gon was literally hanging around chilling 10+ years after his death.
>>78379487
That's a surprisingly sweet idea. Could also be that Kylo Ren has been trained to resist the Force Ghosts ability to manifest to him with Snoke claiming they are lies meant to deceive and lead him astray.
>>78379512
b-b-but it's canon!
>>78379024
That's not useful. Now, a droid fluent in more than 6 billion forms of communication? Now we're talking.
>>78379392
Snoke is leading a military unit that looks just like the Empire's and he communicates with his minions with a huge hologram like Palpatine did in ESB.
>>78379479
Do not buy Aftermath. Do not even read Aftermath. My god, it's so bad. Literally put your money toward Lost Stars, Twilight Company, and Lords of the Sith instead of those.
>>78379494
Older looking Ewan McGregor and a puppet Yoda. Make the Force ghosts a little fuzzy and it can work
>>78379414
Animatronics have come a long way but they're not quite as emotive as CGI.
>Some of their effects, like Ackbar, really seemed lacking.
Yeah, it was kind of weird to see his mouth just kind of flapping. It works in ROTJ because everything else is on that level, but in 2015 it looks weird. The most bizarre part is that ILM actually developed a really good emotive Mon Calamari facial rig for Episode 3 (which unfortunately we never see in use in the film and the one deleted scene where that character appears has her sitting silently). Lucas liked it enough that he considered digitally replacing Ackbar in ROTJ with the more enhanced animatronic but apparently decided it was too much trouble.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQcw_D8i0Po skip to about 4:00 to see the animatronic
>>78379494
>>78379463
See, I think that Anakin might appear as a Force Ghost and tell Kylo that he's a fucking idiot.
>>78379503
I know that.I've listened to the audiobooks :^)
>>78379512
>>78379532
Eh, I enjoyed the book (in audiobook format)
I already own A New Dawn and want to fill up my book collection. Plus I have the money to burn so why not?
LotS, TC and LS will be part of my next pay.
>>78379524
And it's shit. Read what's good.
>>78379487
I think it'd be neat if Ren actually has hallucinations or visions of Vader speaking to him. They all tell him how the Dark Side made him strong and powerful etc. Then the very last vision is Vader taking off his mask with the face of Anakin and saying "It wasn't worth what it cost me." Something like that :P
>>78379494
Guiness was a piece of shit anyway. Just go full Ewan and age him up.
>>78379551
But the people in the thread told me not to....
>>78379516
Ostensibly true, however the Priestesses were charged with existing to teach others deemed worth to become Force Ghosts, should the need arise. They aren't just rare but intended to exist for specific purposes. We know they follow rules. Qui-Gon talked about how he was limited in what he could say to Yoda, and Obi-Wan made it clear that he couldn't help Luke in his confrontation with Vader.
There are limitations and rules that govern their state, and it's possible one of those rules is that they aren't supposed to continue after they've achieved their purpose. This is what the old EU did, anyway.
>>78379518
Qui-Gon had a mission, though.

I think Kylo Ren just isn't really a bad person. He's literally forcing himself down this painful, violent path against his own nature and conscience because he believes it's the only way to accomplish his ultimate goals, whatever those may be (I'm partial to the idea that he wants to kill Snoke and didn't see any other way to become powerful enough to do it). Which is exactly what Jacen did.
>>78379543
Have the force Ghost look like Vader sans helmet and tell Kylo Ren he's a little shit.
Aftermath is better as an audiobook. Still not good but tolerable
>>78379531
Not to mention he's a big dark side user who is responsible for seducing a key dark warrior to the dark side. He's acting almost identically to Palpatine so far, with any differences in his behavior but pretty minimal.

>puppet Yoda
Fuck the puppet
CGI Yoda looks great
He'll look even better today
>>78379574
>>78379531
>>78379458
STOP IT! Snoke and Palpatine are not the same! Snoke is way fucking different. Fuck you guys.
>>78379566
There's a difference between not manifesting haphazardly and just plain up disappearing
>>78379543
That's $32 dollars you can spend on a nice dinner at a restaurant reading another one of the books you bought that wasn't Aftermath.
>>78379588
Sort of depends. I think we can all agree the Episode 1 puppet was terrible.
I love the ESB/ROTJ puppet, but it works when surrounded by other effects of the time. If you put it in a modern movie it would look really out of place. I could see them making a more sophisticated puppet for Episode 8, though.
>>78379567
That is my first thought, but killing your own father to become more evil so you can kill your evil boss is about the stupidest "ends justifying the means" thing I have ever heard.
>>78379588
You have a point ep3 yoda looks fine. And I still cringe at that godawful episode I puppet...
>>78379588
I wouldn't mind puppet Yoda as long as it isn't goddamn TPM puppet Yoda. Damn that thing was just wrong. Well, in more ways than one, especially how they for some reason de-aged Yoda a bit, forgetting that at his advanced age of nearly 900 he would still be as much a wrinkled frog as he was in ROTJ.
Of course the old Yoda puppet in the OT was a headache to work with too. Depends on what they want him to do, but if he's just a ghost standing around I could see him being a puppet again easily.
>>78379552
Kylo Ren basically needs the Scrooge treatment. Get Vader, Obi-Wan, and Yoda's ghosts to show him what's what.
>>78379595
There's also a potential difference between being given a very rare gift only bestowed for very specific reasons and being allowed to exist for perpetuity long after you've fulfilled your purpose.
If they were told that their time is done and they should give themselves willingly to the Force and leave the new generation to their own devices, then I can't see Obi-Wan or Yoda arguing.
>>78379627
>>> Kylo Ren keeps trying to be edgy
>>> has ghosts shw up when he's on the shtter to roast him
>>78379627
Eh just Vader would be fine. He wouldn't know who Obi-Wan and Yoda are nor would he care.
It'd be interesting to see Anakin's ghost come to him and see Kylo dismiss it and go down some even darker path now without the guidance and idolization of Vader in him.
>>78379620
For what it's worth, Frank Oz was actually suggesting a CGI Yoda as far back as Episode 1 because he was getting tired of puppeteering. It would probably be easier to just make Yoda CGI again rather than find another puppeteer who can mimic Frank's puppetry well enough AND sync it to a recording of him doing the line, especially if all he's going to do is appear as a ghost for a scene or two.
>>78379650Why not motion capture the puppet?
>>78379633
the entire premise was to last forever
not for long enough
>OK, but kind of made shit up you did, bitch
>>78379642
I liked the idea someone had of Anakin appearing to talk sense into Kylo, then noticing him having a heart-to-heart with his helmet, going "NOPE" and just disappearing
>>78379661
What is this Marvel?
>>78379642
I don't know, if not Obi-Wan and Yoda (I'm sure Luke told Ben about them though, they were good friends after all), then maybe 2 other past Sith along with Vader. From different eras. Have it set during Life Day while exploring tombs and temples on Moraband.
>>78379661
>>78379657
If you're going to motion capture anything, you're going to implement it in a computer generated environment anyway. Motion capturing and object that has less expression of movement is counter productive.
>>78379659
the last arc of tcws season 6 made it clear yoda was only being taught because they needed him to ensure someone was there to train luke to defeat the emperor. filoni also implied the longer they exist the more fragmented they become because he conceived of the priestesses as different aspects spun off the original so ghosts can change and even degrade.
>>78379106
This brings back memories of Battlefront 2...
*sigh*
Anyone have images of Snoke? Wanted to make some fan art but can't without a reference.
Why would Han and Leia name their son Ben? Han only knew him as a crazy hermit who died and Leia, to our knowledge, never met him when she was alive and only knew him from what Bail told her. Ben was of far more importance to Luke.
>>78379710
Of course to be fair it would have taken the Priestess a very long time, presumably, to fragment. Also they exist outside of the normal bounds of time and space since Qui-Gon said that the past, present, and future were all the same to him now. Makes you wonder if they could manifest in different points in history.
>>78379743
Maybe his uncle got to name him
>>78379743
Maybe he's named after a different Ben. One who didn't manage to lose, from a certain point of view.
>>78379774
>>78379765
Or maybe Leia got to know Obi-Wan better as a ghost. Weird but possible. At any rate he and Yoda sacrificed to protect the twins.
>>78379641
Kylo, you bitch, you'll never be as gangsta as me!
>>78379786
>Obi-Wan's ghost appears to Leia at the most awkward possible times
>Say Leia, did I ever tell you the story about when your father and I...
So I have yet to watch The Force Awakens but from what I've heard it makes me wonder, why didn't they just remake A New Hope?
Is it because of some stigma against remakes? Is so they could have an excuse to cast the original actors? Is it to fool people into thinking the movie has som reason to exist other than profit?
>>78379774
Indeed, they named him after a galactic legend who proved that even if you're born ugly and start your career as a laughingstock, you too can one day aspire to greatness
>>78379802
A remake wouldn't be nearly as exciting as seeing the continuing adventures of characters (and actors) they're already familiar with. Nobody wants to see Hip Young Actor #3 play Han in a remake and they can see Harrison Ford come back and play an old Han.
>>78379802
The Force Awakens is a remake of A New Hope
>>78379829
No it's not
Someone posted a pic of a cool Obi-Wan statue from him in between III and IV, he had his, Anakins and Qui-Gons Sabers and a collection of republic related things on his back. Anyone got it? Id love a film based around that design
>>78379829
Well, sort of. The broad strokes are the same.
>>78379829
More like aSOFT REBOOT
>>78379848
?
>>78377833
That is kind of the problem with CGI cartoons in general. Despite better camera movement more fluid motion of the characters, they ironically end up becoming more sterile because they typically don't have the budget to flesh out the world.
The characters in this pic are from cartoons that display this rather well. Transformers Prime mostly takes place in a desert and only has about 20 characters. TMNT 2012 makes NYC look like a ghost town that consists of a single block.
>>78379876
Thats it, was it a limited tun or can you still get it?
>>78379863
i was surprised they didn't talk about Rey being a Mary Sue.
I feel like the movie could have been perfect if it had an extra 10-20 minutes of breather scenes, BUT at the same time, I think including them in the premiere theatrical release would have been a mistake. This was not a regular sequel, this movie was to be scrutinized into oblivion as the resurrection of the franchise, making it a spectacle from which you have no chance to recover until it ends works better for the first impression and works better in general for the "casual" audience. Imagine what would have happened if Lord of the Rings premiered with the 4 hour extended editions. Now all Disney has to do is actually release an extended edition.
>>78380076
5000 of each was made and they're all sold out as far as I know.
>>78380101
I still can't tell were they sarcastic or not
>>78380153
>>78380153
Fuck those are absoloutely beautiful
>>78380153
I need that Obi-Wan, where did you get it?
And do they have a Mace Windu?
>>78380115
I don't think it even needed 10 minutes of breather scenes. You could probably add a minute or two here and there and make due with about 5 extra minutes.
>>78380255
In some scenes you could probably take a few extra seconds to add some exposition, like explaining just how the First Order came about or what the situation is between them and the Republic (beyond "they're enemies").
New Rebel episode?
>>78380225
I know how you feel, they were released almost three years ago and I only found out about them a few months back. I don't think anyone who didn't preorder got one. Not that I'd have $350 to drop on one of them either. They're now $500-$1500 on eBay but I don't see any listings for Obi-Wan.
No Mace Windu sadly.
It's the Sideshow Star Wars Mythos collection: http://www.sideshowtoy.com/brands/star-wars/star-wars-mythos/
How powerful can we expect Luke to be canonically now? If the First Order and the Resistance are both obsessed with him (him especially as compared to any of the other surviving Jedi or other Force users out there like Nightsisters) this suggests he's a pretty big deal. Will be reach EU levels of insanity?

There's a reason why it wouldn't happen. But I wont say no to broventures with Finn and Poe.
>>78380506
Well he's obviously going to have some reason In-story to be out of hiding.
How high will Finn's bounty be? Literally everything that goes wrong for the First Order is his fault, if it wasn't for him they would have won.
Will we get bounty hunters next movie?
>>78380577

Won what? Haven't they already won by destroying the New Republic?
>>78380153

Check wook.
>After being fatally wounded in the battle between the Singing Mountain Clan and the Nightsisters, Luke was able to instinctively heal himself in the span of mere hours.
>With guidance from the voice of Ben Kenobi, Luke gave in to the Force and found that time seemed to slow down considerably, allowing him fight with dramatically enhanced reflexes.
>Luke safely landed himself and Isolder from a free fall drop from orbit with the Force.
>In the middle of a massive midday meal food fight at the Jedi Praxeum's mess hall, Luke instantly froze every morsel, drop and item, solid and liquid in midair as if trapped in time, only falling after Luke had consciously released everything within the room.
>Luke was able to knock down an AT-AT by pressing against it with the Force; he also absorbed the initial cannon blasts from the AT-AT, before deflecting the rest with his lightsaber.
>In combat, Luke was able to destroy a group of hot-wired battle droids just by waving his hand, subtly displacing their master servos and causing the self-destruction of the group of droids.
>during the Black Fleet Crisis, Luke used the Force to rebuild Darth Vader's old fortress on Coruscant. Luke would later use the Force to crush the rebuilt fortress of Darth Vader to rubble, shattering the building piece by piece and throwing it into the oceans of Coruscant.
>During the Battle of Dantooine during the Yuuzhan Vong War, Luke managed to telekinetically sustain a black hole while simultaneously flinging the dovin basals into it.
>In arguably the greatest fight of his life, Luke Skywalker walked Beyond shadows and had a final duel with Abeloth. Using his bare hands and offensive Force exertisons, Luke was able to temporarily destroy the dark side entity, with help from Darth Krayt, who also attacked Luke as well halfway through, and attempted to drain him.
>>78380153
5000 is pretty high for a statue
>>78380770
>>13657607
>During the Eye of Palpatine incident, Luke subconsciously used his Force powers to overcome a particularly vicious form of brainwashing, able to easily siphon all the information he was seeking.
>While searching for the kidnapped Solo children, Luke used the Force to create an illusion over his face in order to disguise his identity. After the Black Fleet Crisis, with new found knowledge from the White Current, Luke removed the Teljkon Vagabond from view using the Force.
>During the Death Seed Plague, Luke used the Force to communicate with the sentient crystals Tsils; despite the fact that the more dissimilar the type of mind, the more difficult it is to communicate with via the Force.
>Toward the end of the Swarm War, Luke used the Force to call all the Jedi across the galaxy to Ossus to make the announcement of him taking on the role as Grand Master of the Jedi Order and to issue his views about the role of the Order to his Jedi.
>While he was re-creating the Jedi Order and was searching for potential candidates, he walked on lava while still throbbing with the Force after defeating a Fireworm living in the lava just moments before.
>During the early days of the Dark Nest Crisis, Luke used the Force to generate a physical copy of the Jade Shadow to fool the attacking dartships. This usage of the Force was so extreme, Luke burnt out and his face was temporarily sunken and shriveled like Palpatine's.
>While battling UnuThul, Luke was able to resist the combined Force power of the Colony and triumph. When UnuThul attempted to Force Push the Grand Master, Luke rooted himself with the Force so strongly that it was said that he had become the very essence of the immovable object, and that not even the black hole at the center of the galaxy could move him.
>>78380780
>During the Battle of Kashyyyk, Luke shut his presence down after being fired upon by Jaina to make it seem like he died. Later while Ben was in the Embrace of Pain, Jacen gave Ben back his ability to sense the Force temporarily and Ben felt the life force of his father and realized Luke was shutting himself down to everyone except Ben, something no other Jedi has been able to do.
>Right before the Battle of Fondor, Luke made Caedus "see" a fleet of ships, causing him to panic in front of his navy. Luke directed it right at Caedus in general, to show him what he could do and also to scare Caedus.
>Luke revealed to Jaina Solo that he was capable of perceiving Shatterpoints, a very rare Force ability
>During the Battle of Yuuzhan'tar, Luke had shown himself capable of consciously reaching a state of Oneness. He was described as a maelstrom of luminous Force energy, against which there was no shelter. So calm and focused was he that his actions were not interrupted by any thought. Luke merged with the Force to such a degree that the Jedi Master did not seem to be there, physically or as an individual personality. Luke's control over his lightsaber blade was so great that he was said to might as well have been wielding ten, or twenty lightsabers against the Vong.
>Luke used a powerful and unique ability of the Force related to his signature green Electric Judgment in the chamber of Shimrra Jamaane. This technique had been described to look like "green sparks," which instantly killed the Slayers.
>Skywalker learned the "lightning-rod" technique Ayna-seff, which he use to safely travel through the Kathol Rift.
>>78380601
Yeah, but they failed at whiping out the Resistance and the Starkiller was destroyed
>>78380792
>After spending time with the Aing-Tii, Luke was taught the Fold space ability which allowed him to teleport objects vast distances.
>By 45 ABY, Luke had great resilience in Force duels, able to break a powerful Force grip on his neck, and take a full blast of Force lightning to the torso.
>During his duel with the Columi Qresh brothers, Luke dispensed powerful blasts of Force energy that manifested itself as golden flame.
>Upon death, Luke was able to retain his consciousness in the Netherworld of the Force, and could henceforth manifest himself in spirit form.
>Luke was proficient in unarmed combat. He was able to defeat Guri, who was an expert in unarmed combat. He often used physical attacks when he was in lightsaber combat to defeat enemies like Jabba's thugs to even kicking Darth Vader down a stair case in their final duel. In the duel at the lake of apparitions, Luke killed the entity Abeloth by pushing his elbow through Abeloth's head. He also overpowered Darth Krayt when the Dark Lord tried to Force drain him by bashing him and throwing him to the surface of the lake.
>Luke was able to speak a variety of languages such as Galactic Basic, Huttese, Jawa Trade language, Shyriiwook,and Yuzz, and he claimed to know twelve other common languages.
>>78380814
>Though Luke received little training, he became an exceptionally skilled Jedi in combat, making him one of the most powerful Jedi to ever live.
>In the fight against Darth Sidious, during Operation Shadow Hand, he rebelled against the reborn Emperor and despite losing initially, Luke again engaged Sidious in a final duel. The fight was so intense that Leia could hardly see the movements of Luke as he engaged the Emperor, but she sensed waves of power generating from them—dark from the Emperor, and light from Luke. Luke took the upper hand and sliced off the Emperor's hand with cho mai. Darth Sidious, whose lightsaber prowess rivaled that of Yoda's, laid defeated.
>Luke was also able to display his amazing dueling skills with dual blades during the Yuuzhan Vong War. When his nephew, Jacen Solo, was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong Luke wielded his own blade, as well as Jacen's, and easily defeated three Yuuzhan Vong Warriors, before freeing Jacen. Later in the Yuuzhan Vong War, Luke participated in the Battle of Artorias and defeated over a dozen Yuuzhan Vong Warriors. Luke's abilities with a lightsaber allowed him to fight his way through countless Yuuzhan Vong warriors in the Sacred Precinct. After defeating numerous Yuuzhan Vong warriors in Shimrra's Citadel, Luke defeated more than five Slayers; while Kyp Durron, one of the most powerful Jedi of his time, could not best the Slayers who were exposed to Alpha Red. Afterward, Luke slew Supreme Overlord Shimrra Jamaane, who was stated to be the best warrior of the Yuuzhan Vong, despite being injured by the poison of the Scepter of Power.
>>78380828
>>During the Battle of Tenupe, Luke dueled Raynar Thul, who at the time could draw on the Force energy of every single nest member and Joiner, and was able to defeat him by cutting off his dominant hand. Before he could get Raynar to surrender he was attacked by the Queen of the Dark Nest, Lomi Plo. Although Lomi Plo wielded two lightsabers, Luke was still able to block her attacks and kill her by slicing her into four pieces, thus destroying the Dark Nest and ending the Swarm War.
>During Luke's exile, the Lost Tribe of Sith sent out a strike team to kill the Jedi Grand Master. Despite being outnumbered, Luke along side Ben, fought his way through approximately fifteen Sith until only the Sith Lady, Olaris Rhea, and her apprentice, Vestara Khai, remained. Luke dueled the both of them and killed Olaris, only allowing Vestara to escape so he could track her with a Blood Trail.
>While looking for the Sith on Dromund Kaas Luke, Ben, Vestara, and Jaina Solo were attacked by 10 Sith sabers led by Gavar Khai. Despite being outnumbered and the Sith powered by Dromund Kaas' dark side nexus, the Jedi and Vestara fought them. Luke and Jaina fought back to back, bonded by the Force, in perfect harmony and defeated six attacking Sith.
