She was a powerfull dark side user and able to do freaky vodoo shit that nearly killed Dooku, could raise undead soldiers and empore regular dudes to become powerful dark force users.
Why didn't Sheev kill her. An dark side user of that power could seriously threaten his schemes, but he just didn't bother with her until she supported Ventress against Dooku and created Savage Opress.
>>78776021
>Why didn't Sheev kill her.
He did bro....
>>78776135
I mean before all that shit happened. He obviously knew about her from Maul.
>>78776189
Shev had allot of shit on his plate, and she was content to fuck around on dathomir not bothering him.
>>78776021
desu DESU it's because SW is now made by SJWs
>>78776021
Sheev did try, but he also didn't really care about the rule of two (because that dumb shit didn't exist in the OT). If Sheev actually gave a fuck about that he wouldn't have been ok with trying to turn Luke to the Darkside with Vader so blatantly.
>>78776357
Star Jack Wars?
>>78776021
He had the hots for her
>>78776021
>Sheev
Knock it off already
>>78776515
But that's his name.
>>78776363
>implying his plan wasn't to get Luke to kill Vader in order to cause his fall
>>78776021
Savage Opress is like the most on-the-nose name ever.
>>78776363
Speaking as far as the OLD EU
Sheev was smart as he allowed exceptions, like Lumiya and Starkiller
>>78776580
His plan was replacing Vader but he was conflicted. He was on the fence about it because he was also greedy enough to play with having two fuckers to manipulate.
>>78776021
She isn't a darkside user because, from her own mouth, she isn't force sensitive. Also she really couldn't do anything on a galactic scale. Dathomir was a very primitive world. Shit, the Nightsisters had to make a pact with pirates to get them to stop raiding them, thus Ventress's whole ordeal.
>>78776021
Didn't Grievous kill her
>>78777038
Yep
>>78776880
So are all Sith Witches back in the canon now because of her, she was their leader in the old canon too wasn't she?
Like, can we get a Silri that doesn't job with dumb shit like a whip this time?
>>78777178
1. They're not Sith.
2. No.
>>78777351
Didn't the Witches of Dathomir have their origins in Sith doctrine regardless of their society dropping it? Are the original Sith still lizard people in the new canon?
>>78777424
>Are the original Sith still lizard people in the new canon
Nope.
>>78776021
He could tell she was stupid and mostly without ambition. She already fucked away her whole life on the mudball of Dathomir.
>>78777455
Thank fuck, never liked that. So the Sith are just an ancient faction of Jedi that intentionally pervert the Force for their own selfish reasons?
I ask because of ignorance. In the OT there were no sides to the force, it wasn't about easily defined boarders, the darkside was just a perversion of the Force through shit like greed or anger and there was no 'lightside' until the old EU. The Force was just the Force and it was the user who fucked things up with various doctrines of thought.
>>78777741
>In the OT there were no sides to the force
The dark side is there from ANH.
>>78777455
we don't know.
Weve gotten jack shit that far back.
I forget, did Palpatine making Maul his bitch in the second to last season go anywhere?
>>78778316
The darkside is a perversion of the Force, it's just called "the Darkside" for ease of speech. It's not a literal side of anything. This is something well stated by Lucas before he went batshit.
>>78778386
It led to Maul losing most of his underworld connection and Mother Talzen's final demise.
Maul was able to escape with his Death Watch presumably back to Mandalore to deal with the civil war.He was probably killed by Ahsoka and Rex during the Siege of Mandalore
>>78778793
>Maul's death
I won't settle for anything less than a vertical bisection into a Sarlacc Pit. Now this is poetry!
>>78778924
Even if he were shot into the sun, some dumb asshole will just bring him back and do nothing of consequence with him as per the usual.
>>78779183
>implying Maul's story arc wasn't the highlight of the series
You seem unnecessarily salty.
>>78779305
>The highlight of the story is Maul
So basically you're saying the story was shit if its highlight was Maul? Glad we agree.
>>78779305
>implying it's not the Umbara arc
>>78779429
You're only proving me right about the salty bit.
Nightsisters are way past overpowered. Don't mess with them.
>>78779597
but they are all dead
>>78777178
>>78777106
Nightsisters of Dathomir were SWG. They were overpowered as hell too. Nightsister Elder? Good Luck, group.
>>78778385
It's "no" until proven otherwise.
>>78779651
I'm Of the "yes" till proven otherwise
I keep expecting Swtor to be made cannon when the disney team realizes its a thing
>>78779707
Rakata Prime is already canon and *might* be where Luke was hanging out in TFA
>>78779707
>I'm Of the "yes" till proven otherwise
Well I'm sorry to till you that's not how it works.
>>78779626
>Respawn
>>78779759
that planet was called Ahch-To
>Soloing a nightsister Elder
>>78776021
>>78776135
>>78776363
>>78776515
>>78776696
>Sheev
All right, everyone. Where the fuck did the mania for calling Palpatine "Sheev" come from? Is it yet another "ebin maymay" from Rebbit or some similar fecal matter?
>>78779558
The only thing I'm salty about is the same dumb shit from the old EU happening all over again. No one is ever allowed to just be dead because there's some asshole writer with big ideas for characters which never materialize. Maul coming back is and will always be stupid because of how he died in the first place and no one will ever do anything worthwhile with him. Maul's mother will probobly be a force ghost, Boba Fett is alive again... and I never liked Vader being a force ghost for Luke either, but at least that one is understandable because he was Obi Wan's apprentice. At this rate, TR8R will probobly come back out of dumb popularity (just like Fett did in the old EU) and so will Han at some point as well. Fuck, even now there's some crap about Vader coming back as a clone in episode 8 or that he's Snoke and other horseshit.
>>78779774
Yes it is.
>>78780201
That's my point. You're far too mad at the premise that you don't even give the story a chance. The Maul arc is considered one of the highlights of the whole series and I pity you because you can't enjoy it simply because an alien within an unknown physiology and magic powers was able to survive his injuries.
>>78779707
Too much of a slippery slope. For instance. I like and dislike the idea of KotOR being canon again, the games were fun but there's too much EU bullshit attached to them. I'd be fine with the good parts being brought back but that's subjective as fuck. Because however fun Hk-47, Revan and the mandolorian crusade was, or Kriea, there's also retarded shit like Vandar Tokare, mini-rankors, pants being stolen and invisible Force planets.
The good stuff is bogged down by the nonsense.
>>78780201
>At this rate, TR8R will probobly come backWe can only hope.
>>78780264
This isn't some capeshit retcon. When they said everything that isn't the movies and Clone Wars isn't canon, what do you think they meant?
>>78780422
I'd be fine with Maul being cut in half and surviving if he didn't also fall down an incredibly long garbage chute.
>>78780656
Yes good, no one ever dies, gotta sell them new toys after all!
>>78780193
It's his first name as revealed in the Tarkin novel
>>78780770
Well, they're pretty good toys.
>>78780770
Just wait until there's a toy of TR-8R's corpse.
>>78780676
I for one fully expected Disney to back down from that statement due to all the EU spastics frothing at the mouth. The small amount of time between that statement and start of the new comic-line was the golden period. Everything lore related as a clean as I could be. Now it's just a race to the bottom just like the old expanded universe was.
>>78780695
He grabbed an air vent that led to a garbage compactor.
its not that big a fucking development
the same shit happend to luke in ESB
>>78780978
Fully expect that.
>>78781054
Luke didn't have his intestines falling out of a massive body cavity.
>>78781035
What Disney should have done is declare the movies too non-canon. Just make all of Star Wars unofficial fanfic that has no place in true Star Wars continuity.
>>78781145
>What Disney should have done is declare the movies too non-canon.
Asspained legends fanboy detected.
>>78781143
Neither did maul
Lightsabers Cauterize their wounds.
>>78781145
That would have been better. One of the reasons that the old Biggs and Wedge adventure comics were so good is that they were stated to be non-canon from the start.
>>78778793
Those three together look amazingly more badass than they were in any other show. Except maybe Genndywars but that was just Grevious.
>>78781145
I think I speak for everyone when I say that Disney could've mounted a coup against Lucas and erase the Prequel Trilogy from canon.
>>78781343
no go fuck your self
>>78781201
Light-sabers cauterize small wounds. You can't cauterize being cut in half. The weight of your internal organs pressing against such a sizable wound would rupture the cauterized area.
>>78781379
There's nothing of value we'd lose if the Kennedy Lucasarts decided to wipe the Prequels from history.
>>78781402
This is where "alien with unknown physiology" comes into play. We have no idea how is insides are structured or if he even has intestines.
>>78781402
lossing an arm is not a small wound, getting your head cut off is not a small wound.
>>78781407
It would certainly make the Darkside less mustache twirling. You can have moral subjectivity in your villains when killing a bunch of kids nets you dumb demon eyes.
>>78781407
Says you, takes your garbage back to /tv/
>>78781503
Losing an arm is survivable specifically because it's an extraneous limb, without organ tissue to worry about.
>>78780193
Read a book.
>>78781466
Alien physiology only goes so far when the alien in question is humanoid and also mammalian due to having nipples.
>>78781552
Yes. and if May Wasn't a space Wizard eh would have Died, even with his wound closed.
But luckily he wasn't just a muggle
>>78781599
Oh, but I read books. Actual books with value, not trashy crap written by hacks for the sake of a franchise and a half-decent paycheck.
>>78781507
>Less mustash twirling
Sheve torpedoed that boat in the 80's anon
>>78781343
Absolutely. People would have cheered if the prequels were turned into noncanon. No more midichlorians, no more Darth Vader as a whiny teenage brat, just the good stuff.
>>78781606
Not true. His species could have a high platelet count that seals wounds quickly. His intestinal tubing (assuming his digestive system has intestines) could be fused together which would eliminate the flailing guts scenario. There are a number of hypothetical biology scenarios that could be though of.
And let's not forget, "The Darkside is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."
>>78781507
Always loved that, makes Kreia look even more like the retard she was. Having writers pine for moral ambiguity in Star Wars is silly. A character constantly ranting about how the Darkside is subjective doesn't work when there's clear moral rules attached to the Force. Even in KotOR II her position was lunacy as the farther you went Darkside the more fucked up your outward appearance got.
>>78781708
And yet they didn't, because people still worship the ground George "I sold my son to the white slavers for 4 billion dollarydoos") Lucas, despite all the stupid bullshit he has done over the years, starting with the fucking Ewoks.
>>78781766
People think the darkside is cool, which is fine, and want to justify their stance by making its nature subjective, which is retarded and cheapens its whole theme: that people are willing to do awful shit for selfish reasons.
>>78781763
It's not just his intestines, the wound is clearly above the intestinal wall anyway. It's about the rest of his internal organs falling out from the wight of them acting on the cauterized area and the fact that his lungs are clearly sliced in half due to the height of the cut.
>>78781708
It might shock you to hear this anon but
allot of people like prequels. we just get drown out by the meme hate.
>>78781927
>allot of people like prequels.
Who? That's a legitimate question. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who sincerely likes the fucking prequels.
>>78781895
Now your nitpicking,
He got cut but the wound was cauterized, he fell but grabbed an air vent.
He would have died but the dark side kept him alive.
Anakin survived being set on fire via darkside maul isn't anything new.
Fuck Darth Sion was a walking corpse, kept alive byt he dark side
>>78781708
An entire corporate entity which can shift the global consumerist tide backing down like a weary parent in the face of their child's tantrum isn't the good stuff. Shit sucked. Move on.
>>78781927
Nobody likes the prequels. They like Star Wars, and they like Star Wars so much that they think they have some kind of a duty to like the prequels too, even though anyone can see that they're pure shit and only drag SW down.
>>78781978
>Implying people in this thread don't confess their love frequently
>Implying People irl are hard to find
>implying Rian Johnson hasn't gone to bat for them.
get out the basement 80's fag
>>78782064
I'm not sure why you're against fixing errors. That's what the prequels were, a huge mistake in triplicate. They should never have been made.
>>78782089
You don't talk to allot of people who grew up in the 90's i bet.
>>78782156
Go to bed pegg
>>78782161
Born in '87. Watched I and III on the theater and I STILL can't make myself finish II.
>>78782210
Even people who like the prequels think AOTC sucks anon.
>>78781507
What part of "dark" side do you motherfuckers not get?
It is evil.
Like, so damn evil. It's never not going to be evil just because you think shooting lightning is so cool.
>>78777038
>>78777106
The biggest pity of Son of Dathomir not being animated is that Grievous lost out on what would of been his best arc, he was a freaking badass in that story. Going 1 on 1 with Maul, WRECKING Death Watch dudes without any weapons and killing Talzin.
>>78781895
I hunt various mammals from deer to rabbits. All the organs are prompt up via the trachea/esophagus. You need to sever that before the heart, lungs, liver, and stomach go anywhere. If you cut someone in half, the only thing that's in any danger of falling out of them are your kidneys and intestines due to unraveling.
>>78779836
I thought that was the planet in Rey's vision?
>>78782276
No that's the point. The Darkside is a perversion of the force. It is evil, but faggoty writers in the old EU and the new one are constantly on about making it more ambiguous because they seem to think it makes shit more interesting, which is only interesting until it's arse'd up, which is always is. The Darkside being the "Darkside but only from a certain point of view!" is stupid because it doesn't fit the setting or established internal mortality set up in Star Wars from the start of it, we are agreeing with you.
>>78783377
While i do agree that at the ed of the day the dark side should be corrupting.
Nothings wrong with a writer occasionally taking a different look at it
>>78779707
They already know about it.
>>78779759
It's called Ach-To in the script.
>>78783462
Swtor not kotor, try and keep up
>>78783532
The guy literally said both
>>78783435
>Nothings wrong with a writer occasionally taking a different look at it
Not at all, until they have to bullshit their way out of having to explain why the darkside always gives you evil demon eyes, a bad skin condition and a prerequisite red and black wardrobe.
