>Out This Week
Outdated by over a week now.
What kind of show do you want the followup to Rebels to be?
What era?
Who are the main characters?
>>82278956
I don't hate Aphra but I think the book needs a break from her. The droids are just annoying- actually, I guess BT-1 isn't that bad since we don't hear him and he's basically just a prop, but Triple Zero is downright obnoxious. He's just a generic murder-happy robot, the kind we've seen in dozens of sci-fi stories by now. A droid that wants to not only kill all humans but takes absolute joy in doing it is already a tired cliche- even within Star Wars it's been done before and done better. There's no new take on the idea, he doesn't even rely on wittiness or clever dialogue. It's literally just "TEE HEE I LIKE MURDER DID YOU KNOW I LIKE MURDER TEE HEE?" and you can almost picture Gillen grinning expectantly at you, waiting for you to laugh at how funny this is. The character pretty much only exists for the sake of comic relief and he can't even do that. If anything, his presence detracts from Vader's characterization because it gets increasingly hard to buy the idea that Vader, who frequently tells Triple Zero to either shut up or get to the point, would continue tolerating behavior that he clearly finds annoying. Even if Triple Zero is too valuable to just destroy, he could be more foreceful about getting him to comply, or just take his vocoder away.
If there's one character I think works really well, it's Thanoth. He's a good foil for Vader since he's both an ally and an adversary to him, and his position makes it hard for Vader to simply get rid of him if he starts sniffing too closely at the truth. His presence forces Vader to rely on strategy and try to out-think him rather than just relying on intimidation and/or brute force. Granted, a lot of the storyline so far has been Vader trying to be clever, but it's mostly for the sake of duping Palpatine and Tagge- individual people he runs across don't really require much more thought than either bullying them or killing them. Thanoth is much less important than them but still keeps Vader on his toes.
>>82280271
Between ROTJ ending and TFA starting.
New characters, or book/comic only ones given new life in animated form.
>>82280271
I really want something that takes place between the OT and the ST.
I suspect that's unlikely, though.
>>82280271
Old Republic all the way. Show both sides of the war between the Jedi and the Sith before the rule of two was established. Hell, have it tell the story of it's establishment since the Bane books are no longer canon.
Bane still is though, so definitely can fucking work with that.
>>82280271
KOTOR
motherfucking KOTOR
>>82280271
A series set between the Battle of Endor to the Battle of Jakku. As for characters? large cast like TCW only so that there isn't a solid set of main characters. Characters from the OT or Rebels even TCW appear in varying story arcs. Like maybe an arc with Luke meeting an aged Rex in one last mission before he dies of old age, learning about Anakin and the Jedi's services during the Clone Wars.Anakin's force ghost says goodbye to Rex as he passes away.
>>82280479
>Characters from the OT or Rebels even TCW appear in varying story arcs.
But original characters, mostly. Forgot to put that in.
Posting best character in Star Wars animated history.
>>82280581
Hurry up and post her then.
>>82280581
>>82280271
I'd love for a series based on Heir to the Empire.
I mean, the book can still happen within the canon. They'd just have to rename a few people, change a few things... It could work.
>>82280167
God I love that man's artwork. I need to actually make big pictures of it and hang them in the living room or something.
>>82280271
Gungan sitcom
>>82280611
Is this who you are looking for?
>>82280611
>>82280749
Or this one?
>>82280749
Actually, yes.
>>82280611
Maybe this one?
>>82280773
i would have joined her
>>82280613
Too bad she fell on some hard times in the Imperial era
But getting back on track.What next for him?
>>82281064
Failure, of course.
>>82281064
Confrontation with Vader. Literally the reason he was brought back.
Beyond that I don't know what there is for him to even do anymore besides die. His story is pretty much done.
>>82281064
Getting hunted down.By Boba Fett.
>>82281257
>Literally the reason he was brought back.
He was brought back to further tempt Ezra to the dark side. Filoni realizes Maul vs Vader would be pure fanwank and doesn't want to do it because of that.
>>82281398
>Filoni realizes Maul vs Vader would be pure fanwank and doesn't want to do it because of that.
No, he said that was the main reason he liked the idea, but that he wanted to make sure there was more story to it than just that.
>>82281398
>Filoni realizes Maul vs Vader would be pure fanwank and doesn't want to do it because of that.
It was his idea to begin with. He said there were others in the discussion that didn't want to do it because it was pure fanservice, but he still wanted to do it but felt they needed a story to go with it.
Frankly it's a weak story since it's just "Maul's doing the same old shit again, just a little more tired and SLIGHTLY more sympathetic."
>>82281064
Hopefully convincing Ezra to leave the Ghost crew and train with him
>>82281322
Ya know, I'm actually impressed that they put off shoe-horning Boba Fett in thus far. If they want to shimmy him into season 3, I'd actually be alright with that.
Post smug faces
>>82281741
>Hopefully convincing Ezra to leave the Ghost crew and train with him
Pretty sure that ship has sailed. Ezra is likely still going to wrestle with the pull of the dark side, but I don't see him joining back up with Maul.
>>82281741
Boba's too big a character to shoehorn in.
In terms of celebrity status, he's nearly up there with Vader.
>>82282029
Maul's pretty high on celebrity status too, but they shoehorned him anyway.
>>82282029
I'm saying that if Boba Fett had shown up in the first season just so nerds with Mandalorian Tattoos and Boba Fett hoodies can cum over it, that would have been shoehorning.
>>82282001
Yeah and Anakin learned that Palpatine was a Sith Lord who lied to him for years, but he still dropped to his knees and did whatever Papa Plapy asked.
I really, really, really like this image
>>82280271
The Old Republic. Not KoTOR, but the mmo era. Each season of the show would have a new protagonist and follow one of the 8 class stories.
>>82281580
He may be a failure, but at least he isn't dead.
>>82282445
>>82282173
Well he was still his best friend at that point.
>>82282388
Hot damn that is awesome
>>82280271
Star Wars: Pirates. Starring Sidon Ithano and the rest of the crew of the Meson Martinet.
>>82282574
Proof that if Maul can survived getting chopped in half, so could /ss/
>>82282618
The TOR setting is great though, better than the original KoTOR setting. Plus most of the class stories are pretty solid and interesting.
>>82282943
Maul was also a Sith Lord, just the same as Vader that survived extreme odds by tethering to the Dark Side. Maul also had someone already on the way.
>>82280271
you already know.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPdJdEFilaU
>>82281756
Imperials always have the best smug faces.
>>82282173
>Yeah and Anakin learned that Palpatine was a Sith Lord who lied to him for years
Palpatine molded him since he was a young child and told him who and what he was when the time was right. That took at least a decade and then some.
>>82282988
The Imperial Agent was slick as fuck, but the game needs to fade out and die already.
>>82280271
Star Wars: Civil War
First two seasons are in the dying days of the Mandolorian Wars, with the finale of S2 taking place during the Malachor Sith Temple petrification after cornering the Mandolorians, and those two seasons and that event would set up the next 4 seasons for the Jedi Civil War (which personally I would rename, but we'll leave the show and that named Civil War for eases sake).
Characters would primarily follow two new young Jedi, a woman and a man, one Master and one a Knight, good friends, that the war drives them apart, with some KotOR 1/2 characters making an appearance, but not entirely following the games by any means.
Unfortunately designs I have in mind would require a lot of cloth tech and robes, so it'd be out of the question unless it was 2D. I am in the process of sketching out some rough stuff for it though, gonna try to make a chapter or two in a comic style with some notes and send it to Disney, Filoni, whoever, ya never know right? And if nothing comes out of it, that's fine, maybe someone here and elsewhere would like to read it.
>>82283036
Yeah, but Ezra is gullible as fuck.
>Maul approaches Ezra
>Join me and save your friends/kill Vader
>I should just kill you instead
>I implore you to reconsider
>HMM... OK
>>82283027
If you follow the plotline of the games who would a TOR show even follow? Almost all the major characters end up dead, useless, or in exile.
>>82279605
I think we've been reading two very different comics because since Aphra went missing Vader comics entered a war arc. It didn't have very many scenes with the droids (though a vocal minority REALLY hated the blood draining bit) it's been Vader waging a war by being a ruthless (and rather wasteful) bastard. He's had more scenes fucking around with the OC twins than he's spent talking about Aphra.
>>82283112
Careful what you wish for. I'd love to see it pass away but they'd probably want to replace it with the Next Big Thing™ which will sadly be an EA product.
>>82283136
I mean... yeah if you want to make a fan comic, go for it. But no one's going to make a show out of just some fucking guy's comic.
>>82283112
>>82283238
They're actually getting ready to enter into the final expansion for the game.
>>82283238
Uh... you do know TOR is an EA product right?
>>82283213
Honestly i would just set it during this period and have it be a hybrid of all the best story moments from all the class stories.
>>82283244
You'd be surprised at how many people get jobs from sending simple concepts and portfolios of things to people to show their love of something. More power to the guy honestly, if he manages something out of it.
anyone have these?
>Adventures in Wildspace 1,2,3
>"Scorched" short story from Star Wars insider 165
>Star wars rebels magazine #17 "Vulnerable Areas" comic
>>82283244
It's worth a shot anon, ya never know what could come of sending some descriptions, synopsis, storyboards, etc. around.
>>82283191
It makes perfect sense within the confines of Ezra's world. Naive? Sure. Gullible? Probably. But he apparently wasn't taught the wider issues between Jedi and Sith. He only knows red blades as his enemies, and at the same time he's a young kid with heavy Anakin tendencies, i.e. power to protect the ones I love. He also knows nothing about Maul's history. He's suspicious and aggressive when he realizes Maul is a Sith Lord but when Maul seems no threat and then later aides him considerably.
When Ahsoka and Kanan are horrified to find he's with Maul they are already under threat and Maul helps out. Ezra is already convinced that Maul means them no harm. And sure it is naive to believe that this is a true common enemies teaming up against their mutual foe moment, it would make sense. I recall some people hoping Maul would be less evil and even potentially help the Rebellion as much as it serves as his greatest weapon against Sidious (as opposed to his longshot hoping an ancient Sith weapon would still work properly, if it ever did given all the dead people turned to stone, and with Vader on the way to claim it). But nope, Dark Side makes you go full retard.
When Ezra found out firsthand the holocron unlocked a weapon instead of knowledge he caught onto Maul's true nature pretty quickly. The kid got a firsthand look at exactly how the Sith behave. Poor bastard. Now if he actually unlocks that Sith holocron looking for knowledge or even power from it then fuck yes he's a stupid little shit who deserves losing a hand. Or head.
>>82283265
You do realize that was the precise point, right? Do you really think TOR ending won't be replaced with something else and since it will be do you actually have any hope that it will be better?
>>82280271
>>82282445
>>82283027
>>82283136
>>82283278
HOW ABOUT FUCKING ANYTHING OTHER THAN A SHOW ABOUT JEDI?
Seriously, how about we explore a little more than the same 5 fucking character archetypes? Since Jedi are always the major focus, every side character is just reduced to 'The Smuggler', 'The Bounty Hunter', 'The Ace Pilot'. Fuck you know what I really want in a show or anthology movie? Just some alien fucks working on a ship, paying rent, and getting into some shit. No rebellion, no sith, no fucking jedi. Just characters deeper than a puddle, and a little universe expanding.
Now give me a second to whipe the foam from my mouth.
>>82283499
>HOW ABOUT FUCKING ANYTHING OTHER THAN A SHOW ABOUT JEDI?
Because Filoni tried. He wanted to make a show about hotshot pilots. Instead they wanted more Jedi hijinks. It's Star Wars, you can't really escape the laser swords for long.
>>82283278
I think that might be too much for one show to do. I could see a show that follows the war with the JK and JC combined as a protagonist working well though. There's some nice potential in the mindfucked by the emperor arc.
>>82283499
Ding ding ding! This is what I want as well.
>>82283534
Well we are just shooting the shit anyway.
>>82283499
Because sadly, people don't want mundane things, they want flashy lightsabers, evil guys in cloaks and masks and sexy human female characters to ogle.
>Just some alien fucks working on a ship, paying rent, and getting into some shit.
I would love to see that, but sadly, there aren't that many of us that would want that and the vast majority of people just want the same thing they've seen before.
>>82283499
How do you expect the spergs to relate to a protagonist who doesn't dogmatically shun sex and love and basic human emotion?
>>82283499
Just because the primary focus and story are about the Jedi/Sith doesn't mean that the supposed side characters are just reduced to "The Smuggler/Bounty Hunter/etc.", they could have various arcs detailing their worlds and stories as well.
TCW had plenty of stuff like this in regards to many aliens, bounty hunters, clones, mandolorians, etc.
>>82283562
I'm holding on to the hope that as the years go by, we'll see less star wars-y star wars movies. Like, not a rag-tag team vs evil forces, but a fucking dialogue heavy movie about aliens shooting the shit in a bar. I want the Coens to be like, "fuck it. Let's do a Star Wars." And just have fun with it. I know we'll never get people like the Coen brothers to do an anthology, but fucking Edgar Wright, or a fucking nobody who just wants to mix it up a little and tell a good story. A good story, that just so happens to take place in the Star Wars universe.
>>82283703
With the amount of Star Wars they have planned they're going to need to do this eventually.
>>82283730
Exactly. That's what I'm counting on. Give me a fucking John Carpenter Star Wars. A Star Wars horror. A comedy. I want the anthologies to be a fucking playground.
>>82283789
>A horror flick featuring IG-88 with Terminator music.
>>82283265
Oh I know. EA has the license locked down for the foreseeable future but even if they didn't there is no more Bioware. Who else could you give the next game, especially an RPG, to? Keep in mind whoever would receive it would have to be another AAA game developer because Disney would demand all the bells and whistles.
>>82283813
>the primary antagonist after the aliens are dead isHK-47
>begin taunting each other as they stalk through steamy corridors of 1313 on Coruscant
>all you see is the flicker of eye-LEDs and blaster fire with maniacal laughter and beeps and boops
>>82283848
EA is currently developing an open-world RPG with Visceral Games with help from Amy Hennig (which sounds beautiful) and Jade Raymond. It's apparently still in development but we've heard virtually no info on it for ages now beyond that.
The best we're gonna get out of EA's license which is until 2020 is Battlefront games virtually every year or two and possibly that Visceral game and that's it at this rate.
>>82283562
If only the lekku on these cosplayers looked less like foam. The creases and rigidity tends to spoil the immersion for me.
>>82283789
Yeah but you know we'd probably just get a Death Troopers game written and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson and shoehorning in Milla Jovovich whom (if it's based on the book) has everyone including Han and Chewie fawning over how super powerful she is.
>>82283884
>Jade Raymond
That names familiar. Some kind of internet drama or some shit...
Will they even be doing that with Battlefront? They haven't even really milked the DLC fully.
>>82283884
>EA is currently developing an open-world RPG
I'm already so fucking sick of "open world" RPGs with the depth of a puddle. I was so much happier when we had disguised corridors and tiny open fields.
>>82283939
Dude, she was the main producer of Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs. Plus she's pretty hot.
>>82283894
There are other materials that they could use that look more natural. They just haven't really caught on yet.
>>82280479
>Like maybe an arc with Luke meeting an aged Rex in one last mission before he dies of old age, learning about Anakin and the Jedi's services during the Clone Wars.
I really like that. It would do Luke good to know how great his Dad really was, but at the same time show how cruel the Dark Side is. Plus the conflict of Anakin vs Vader.
>>82280271
Star Wars: Operation Blue Falcon
The Rebel Uprising has taken full force as the Death Star plans have been stolen. The Emperor in an up-roar demands from his Grand Admirals and Darth Vader to stamp out the flames that threaten his Galactic Empire.
Darth Vader commanding the 501st Legion has called on a special group to hunt down and destroy any and all Rebellion sympathizers, and to kill any Jedi that they may seemingly come across that still live.
Delta Squad, old Clone Troopers turned Imperial Commandos are on the hunt. Their journey begins on Kashyyyk, where they run into an old friend, having seemingly turned on his former brothers and his control chip damaged...
Not sure if I did a good job on the description, but would you guys watch it?
>>82283995
People actually have fandoms build up around game PRODUCERS? Or is it just the "hot" part?
>>82283939
She was the spear-head at Ubisoft for Assassin's Creed, and yes you know they will with Battlefront. They'll have one out for Ep. VIII that might incorporate TFA and VIII more along with OT stuff and potentially PT stuff to better quiet the fans, potentially even a single-player as well.
>>82283963
Depends, I enjoyed Dead Space 1 and 2 quite a lot, I think Visceral are good developers, depends on how much EA intervenes as they did with Dead Space 3.
If I had my choice, I'd honestly want CDProjekt to just drop Cyberpunk and do Star Wars.
>>82284044
You mean like the stuff they use in fleshlights?
Mmmm...fleshy lekku.
>>82282029
No hes not. They shoe horned in Boba in almost every episode of TCW
>>82284103
I'd rather they have their freedom with Cyberpunk. I doubt that we're going to be able to get any interesting games as long as Disney is playing it safe.
>>82284131
>They shoe horned in Boba in almost every episode of TCW
He was in all of seven episodes, and some of them had some pretty small parts, like helping Cad Bane escape prison.
>>82284083
You'd be surprised, good game producers like Hideo Kojima, Ken Levine or Amy Hennig (who did Uncharted) have their own fanbases.
im disappointed that Visceral game isnt even in their fiscal year this year. Probably coming late next year
>>82284183
You do realize Boba and the Clones are literally the same person, right?
>>82284183
Six episodes, and one of those was a flashback. He was going to get a story where he would hang out with Cad Bane.
>>82284199
Except the Clones got shit done and didn't job...well not all the time at least.
>>82284199
Ah, right, so you're just baiting then.
>>82280655
If only that didn't cost a literal fortune
I am really fucking sick of seeing Tatooine.
you know FUCK tatooine. There's no reason to keep coming back to that dust ball beyond ANH nostalgia.
This shit right here? This is why im getting tired of the whole thing. We have a whole vast unexplored universe but no lets just go back to this nothing little spec at the ass end of the galaxy because that's where the writers all used to pretend to go when their parents wouldn't look at them.
So I pitched it in the stream, but I thought to tell it here as well.
I'm thinking of doing a little RPG lewd Star Wars RPG. If anyone has ideas or wants to help with story ideas I'd be more than happy to hear you out.
>>82284167
As would I, but I think if you had to give anyone the open world RPG style it'd be CDProjekt if only for the size of the world and the details going on within it.
Imagine TW3's world size and details but with Coruscant for instance. Which is basically what Cyberpunk is and I'm looking forward to it heavily, but I'd like to see a Star Wars equivalent to it. Hopefully Visceral does a good job though.
Though I have a feeling it'll just be Dead Space meets Star Wars, and Necromorphs are just weird aliens or droids, but it'll have a great story though with Amy Hennig at the helm of it.
>>82284228
At least they didn't go to Tatooine in the new movie.
>>82284188
As far as I can tell she's just mostly just been an executive producer on projects. That's not exactly the makings of a Carmack. Kojima has been a writer and director as well as a producer, Levine is known as a game developer, and Amy Hennig again has been a writer. In other words creative talents known for major contributions to games, not just the person overseeing the team.
>>82284228
I like you.
>>82284122
nah, that stuff would bend like a rubber hose. There is this stuff called flexfoam that I have seen a few lekku made with that look really good.
>>82281064
Joining the Rebellion.
Or trying to, at least.
>>82284431
No way in hell, that ship hasn't just sailed he set the fucking boat on fire and then tried to stab it only to fall off a cliff instead.
Although...The idea does have merit, now that I think about it. The Rebel Alliance doesn't exist yet. There's no overarching command structure. So it WOULD be possible for him to assemble his own Rebel group by dominating a bunch of disaffected yahoos who want to stick it to the Empire and don't realize their new boss is a devil.
>>82281064
He's gonna fight Vader at some point, right?
>>82284509
They adapted Maul surviving with cybernetic legs, you know they're gonna adapt this as well.
>>82284473
That's what I mean.
He would be a powerful ally to the Rebels, he could easily prove himself. I can imagine him being in the right place at the right time to save their asses a few times.
>>82284509
Maybe. The originally set this up as a Vader/Maul fight despite admitting it was heavy fanwank only to have the script divert onto a different path. They've talked a bit about how Maul seems scared of Vader and whether he'd want to fight him or would lose outright. They intimated it would not end well for Maul, that he's past his prime, which may indeed be the case.
Hard to tell how things would end up based on what Filoni says because his original take on Ahsoka vs Vader is Ahsoka would lose because Anakin taught her everything she knows. However later on he said Vader would find her an extreme challenge because she spent so much of her formative years fighting Anakin (in training). So two certain points of view each with different outcomes. Well sort of, Vader will always survive due to plot armor.
Personally I'd rather Maul fight one last time with Obi-Wan. It's only right that they finally face for the last time and Obi-Wan puts Maul down. Maul vs. Vader just doesn't have that kind of personal drama. He'd only fight Vader because Vader is in the Number Two slot Maul feels should have rightfully been his if fate and Obi-Wan hadn't stolen it from him on Naboo.
>>82283916
that book was pretty kneecapped by having them show up
having characters you know can't die and that never bring up the fucking zombie star destroyer ever again is just a bummer
>>82284562
The funny thing is Vader stabbed Maul in that position he'd just be damaging Maul's cybernetic pelvis. Pretty sure you're not going to kill a guy by stabbing him in the place where he was cut in half decades earlier.
>>82284255
>At least they didn't go to Tatooine in the new movie.
They will before the trilogy is out
>>82284589
I think the point is Phoenix Squad has reason not to trust him, and they'll get the word out to Bail who will no doubt also put the word out to the various groups he's in contact with to watch out for or avoid Maul.
Even if Maul sets up his own little merry band what's the point? I mean storywise. It's interesting to think of him having some kind of Anti-Rebels group with himself as the Kanan to a quirky group (bonus points if it includes the original concepts of the group so an Ithorian stand-in for Zeb, a lady ex-stormtrooper for Sabine, a blueberry twi'lek engineer kid for Hera, and so on). But despite that appeal where does it go? The only thing it could really do is show the need for Bail to finally tie together the various Rebel groups across the galaxy into a true Alliance to keep them from splintering, failing to in-fighting, or being played against each other.
Admittedly they have said we're going to see movements towards the Rebel Alliance's formation but I don't know if Maul is the way to do that. I also don't know that that's all Maul can do, I'm willing to admit I may be overlooking potential here.
>>82284255
Why go to Tatooine when you have Jakku?
>>82284633
True, personally I think it's just a bad angle on it that was done, but I could definitely see Vader just getting pissed and impaling himself to try and kill Maul.
Though with the fact that Disney is so adamant about being 4kidz we would never actually see it. Despite the movies having body severing, limb loss, decapitations, etc.
>>82284607
It's not even plot armor, he has to survive, it makes no sense if he dies. You can't have him lose either because then that just invalidates the entirety of the OT as well.
Vader has to win, and beside one of the things Lucas was very adamant about was that Vader couldn't lose, unless it was against Obi-Wan or Luke.
The most you're gonna get out of a Vader fight is some slight damage to his suit and cybernetic limbs as Ahsoka did (and the blast itself might have damaged his leg instead of Ahsoka) or have him injuring himself to kill someone ie: >>82284562
Maul could clearly hold his own against Vader, you see it quite clearly in how he deals with the Inquisitors, he's at least on par if not better than Ahsoka. Even he still fears Vader, Vader is that fucking strong. Even without 'plot armor'.
>>82280271
Wicked sick Tie fighter action.
>>82284754
>It's not even plot armor, he has to survive, it makes no sense if he dies. You can't have him lose either because then that just invalidates the entirety of the OT as well.
But that's what plot armor is. The plot of future movies dictates he survives. However it doesn't mean he has to win since by the end of Rebels season 2 finale Vader lost three Inquisitors, Maul, the entire Sith Temple, the Sith Holocron, and we saw Ahsoka still moving so odds are he didn't even get her. All he did was get a temple exploding in his face, further fucking him up so he has to limp home. He didn't even get to finish his fight with her.

>Vader couldn't lose, unless it was against Obi-Wan or Luke.
If you're talking about duels then maybe. From what Filoni has said Lucas' prime directive was that you can't do anything to lessen Vader's credibility. He can lose, but he can do so in ways that don't diminish his impact and threat.
Which is funny when you consider Empire Strikes back managed to have him thwarted by the Falcon through most of the movie and he comes off like a dangerous buffoon in terms of how he's sacrificing war materiel. Sacrificing Star Destroyers by having them park too close to an asteroid field was just terrible management skills at play.
>>82284910
No plot armor is dictating that a character is invincible due to importance to the story, while yes this is true, in Vader's case his story is already set, it's a continuity issue and direct statements more so than it is an evolving and changing story. If we just had the prequels, TCW, and Rebels, then yes what he's done would be plot armor outside of his duel on Mustafar, but you can't call something plot armor in the middle despite knowing the beginning and end.
And yes, Vader can lose in ways that aren't relocated to dueling plenty, which as you yourself have pointed out, he's done, as he has also done in the Darth Vader comic.
>>82285236
Vader's only lose is his own rebellious nature that still persists from his days as Anakin, his sheer recklessness. That's what causes him, he just kind of casually goes on, like Qui-Gon did, only believing in the Force and ultimately shutting out all else that matters typically. It's kind of beautiful pottery in that sense, that despite both's massive Force powers and trust in the Force, it ends up badly for the two.
>>82285352
You're splitting hairs, anon, and in a way that doesn't change the definition. Plot armor due to Vader's importance to the story IS the fact he has future events. That was the whole deal with the Prequels, anon. We knew much of who would live throughout events based on how we knew they died. In this case their importance to the story was that their death had a known set point LATER in the stories. Hence when Boba tries to kill Mace Windu nobody believed Mace Windu was going to die, similarly we didn't feel tension in the next episodes when Mace and Anakin were trapped under debris while Artoo was left trying to save them. We knew all three were going to survive.
The only reason Vader HAS TO SURVIVE as you stated is because his death is a known event in future stories, which is precisely what plot armor is. Knowing how someone's story ends dictates plot armor. It's that "due to importance to the story" bit, get it? It doesn't mean they're invincible forever, that's not what plot armor is. It's not them literally being a god or unstoppable, it's due to roles they have to play later on in the continuity.
>>82285352

If you want to put this into terms that make Vader's actions more sensible and acceptable, then consider that Vader was pursuing the Falcon because he sensed that capturing Luke's friends was his best and perhaps only option of making Luke come to him. So he sacrificed ships including all the lives, vehicles, and fighters within, just for his chance to obtain Luke. It was a single-minded pursuit that didn't give a crap about anyone else, everything was expendable, and the Emperor gave his tacit approval via his orders to Vader.
But if the Force let him sense that the way to Luke was via his friends it didn't let him know how to stop or catch the Falcon. He still needed bounty hunters.

Why don't people who want this go anywhere else for it?
Space wizard knights are what make Star Wars Star Wars.
There are an endless amount of other sci fi things for generic alien crews.
>>82286257
Why not also force sensitive people, knights who have rejected the Jedi and are living in the grey area? I think KotOR dipped into that a bit.
Having really good goodies and really bad baddies can get a bit one-note. Something like Firefly in the SW universe might be fun (and no, Rebels doesn't really count)
It's incredible how many people on Star Wars fanpages are still complaining about the Inquisitor lightsabers enabling them to fly.

I've seen a bunch of "NEW DETAILS REVEALED, KYLO REN, LEIA, BLOODLINE" clickbait titles on Youtube lately, so I am guessing that yeah, there's probably some light being shed on Sequel Trilogy characters and events. I'm looking forward to it yeah.
>>82288876
About a year actually. And it's where more of the big battles of the GCW happened, because its where the Rebellion actually weakened the Empire enough to equal its firepower. To put it in perspective, like 3 seasons of TCW equated to 1 year of that war. (And not all the episodes were about the war itself)
So they could easily do a 1-3 season show set between Endor and Jakku.
>Premier is the Battle of Endor, told from the original casts perspectives.
>Nods to other media, such as showing the Falcon, or even Rae Sloane at the battle.
>Finale of the show is Jakku
I think it'd be pretty awesome.
>>82288436
I like this idea a lot. I like the idea that the Empire is down to their last group of Inky's, and they're going to send all of them to get Kanan.
Filoni says that they're whittling them down so that there aren't any left by ANH, so I am guessing the idea of a final Inky group isn't too farfetch'd.

>>82284228
For as bad as The Phantom Menace is, I really love the way it expanded on Tatooine. The planet felt like a much more real and lived-in place with the different marketplaces and the podracing. It almost makes you want to live there despite it being a hot desert with limited water supply.

Possibly. Although I also think Sheev doesn't actually care for Cylo, and is just fucking with Vader.

While I agree with you, I think cartoons are the only place that Jedi can be used at their full potential while on a non-movie budget.
Something like a live action show would not even be able to have jedi because the special effects would cost too much, so I'd rather leave the cartoons to handle the Jedi, and the upcoming live action stuff can settle with everything else.

I think he's just fucking around. Even TFA had a prequel nods with Podracer parts, Maz flags, clones, etc. Same goes for a lot of the ongoing comics and things right now. Hell one of Maz's flags even has Sabine's tag on it.
They can't ignore the prequels forever, not when it's a very important time for Star Wars.
>>82292034
It's actually.
S1 Ep. 1-5: Year 27
S1 Ep. 6-13: Year 28
Siege of Lothal: Year 28
S2 Ep. 1-9: Year 28
S2 Ep. 10-20: Year 29

Furthermore, a lot of normal people like them. Of course they're got shortcomings, but if you just want to tune out and watch 2 hours of sci-fi fantasy they're right there for that.
>>82292162
To be fair on that, even the OT has some massive flaws in a lot of places, none of the movies are perfect by any means honestly. I'll admit some are better than others with AotC probably being the worst of the Star Wars films personally, but they're all great movies regardless, just gotta enjoy Star Wars.
Disney and Lucasfilm are being odd in this regard, it seems like they're trying to pander to the very vocal OT crowd, but then they go and do things that makes that crowd even more vocal and angry such as getting rid of the EU from 'canon' (like it ever was in the first place) and then having women protagonists in two movies, and the whole black stormtrooper debacle.
Which I personally don't care either way, I enjoyed Rey and Finn, and Jyn looks to be cool enough so far. But it seems so odd that they're trying to be inclusive and change some things that were never before seen in Star Wars, yet still pander to the OT crowd, it's weird as hell to me.

Not exclusivity lol
>>82292231
> it seems like they're trying to pander to the very vocal OT crowd
I don't think so? From what I've gathered TFA was meant to rope fans back in that might've gotten off with the PT, but it was never meant to appeal to the loud minority since you cannot appeal to them no matter what.
Similar style of photography, more human/character driven than weird aliens at every turn (kinda sad for me but understandable) but still colours, explosions, heavy drama and fun, to appeal to fans and normies. It's a safe method, but it proved to be valuable. Kinda wish a happy marriage of George's "trying new things at every turn and getting more politics into it" and that could take place, but I'm not holding my breath.

Nobody really should've known about her parentage apart from her Han and Luke. Unless they didn't treat it as a secret and allowed it to go on public record.
I mean really. She's a politician. A skeleton like that is something you want to keep buried for the rest of your life and beyond. No one who's trying to make a positive difference should want people to know that they're the offspring of one of the greatest mass murderers in galactic history.
>>82294851
>Nobody really should've known about her parentage apart from her Han and Luke. Unless they didn't treat it as a secret and allowed it to go on public record.
Maybe Luke told his students about what happened to his father. Maybe they despised Ben Solo for the crimes that his grandfather committed which could've led to his downfall.
>>82294987
Mengele's children had themselves sterilised to deal with the guilt of their mass-murdering parent, why not Luke and Leia.
>>82294851
I dont know about that. You'd think some Imperials or someone with Imperial ties pissed at Leia could dig that up and blackmail or leak it to get her out of their picture.
This imperial looks even more like a sad sheep in motion, it's incredible. Did they try to facially out-misery Aresko?

>>82295080
>You'd think some Imperials or someone with Imperial ties pissed at Leia could dig that up
I don't think so. The only imperials who knew were the Emperor and Vader. Tarkin only deduced it only because he knew Anakin personally. Other than them, I'd think it went on official imperial record that Anakin Skywalker died when the Jedi temple was sacked. Or somewhere else as a result of the Clone War.
>>82294987
>Maybe Luke told his students about what happened to his father.
When does this book take place? Also i'd like to think Luke would like to think Luke would've been a bit more tact. Surely he'd have known talking about that might've compromised his sisters efforts.
>>82295043
Well Luke is a Jedi, so he ain't having kids.
>>82295338
Didn't the blue guy, I forget his name, talk about Sheev being a Sith and what not in Aftermath?
While Im pretty sure it was hush hush, there had to be records. When Sheev died there had to leaks and things.
I'm dreading the thought that Rey becoming a Alice Abernathy-levelled Mary Sue judging by all the interview I'm reading.
Rey is at her best when she is with Finn. But I'm worried that she will be separated from him for most of Episode 8 & 9.
>>82295338
>>82295338
So maybe somebody leaked the information on her parentage and the backlash from the senate is one of the reasons is why she is being called a traitor.
>>82295338
>Well Luke is a Jedi, so he ain't having kids.
We don't know anything about Luke's Jedi sect. He could have kids or got married for all we know. Sadly I don't think those questions wont be answered till Ep8 or sometime next year when the ramping of Ep 8 hype begins.
>>82295338
Bloodlines seems to only imply that Vader was her real father, not that he was also Anakin Skywalker.
Considering Kylo Ren knows of it too, it seems likely that Luke talked about it as well. Luke probably let the secret out trying to convince others that Vader wasn't all that bad.
>>82295395
A few people knew Palpatine was a Sith and that was it, very few people knew Vader was Anakin though.
>>82295476
Luke has probably ditched that stupid can't marry law like in Legends.
>>82295476
Luke will never be married. Hamill straight up said Luke could be gay for all we know (even though that contradicts his finding of Leia beautiful and kissing her and shit), just because so many kids look up to him in that respect and I think Disney would respect that honestly.
That and the whole Rey/Luke thing is way too obvious to be a 'plot-twist'.
>>82294520
>Only thing I dont think is how the new movies are relying on auxiliary material to tell the story.
I hate this shit because I shouldn't have to read a few books, some comics, and play some games to get what the fuck is going on in the movie. I get they want these movies to not be like the prequels but they've gone way too far the other way I think.
>>82295524
Why would he? For all he knows the one Jedi that married ended up becoming a tyrant that killed billions, whether he still had good in him or not. He's also been training as a Jedi and likely follows the Jedi Code. There is no reason for him to just abolish that rule
>>82295546
>Luke could be gay

>>82295546
Im not saying anything about Rey being Lukes kid. I really...really... REALLY hope shes not.

I think he literally means in relation to the Originals, what with A New Hope having essentially started everything. Disney's not pushing any anti-Prequel agenda. You're either misinterpreting or projecting
>>82295651
I was sarcastic :^)
>>82295588
Tell that to Mark Hamill.
>>82295584
Exactly.
I'm hoping after Ep8 they back off a bit. I get why they did this for ep7, because there wasn't too much of a story. More of a rehashing to get people back into the groove of OG Star Wars.
If anything the PT did one thing right, it didn't rely heavily on aux material like the new movies seem too. Yeah there was odd shit like Grievous coming out of no where, but they had to heavily advertised Clone Wars cartoon as an inbetween. But the vast majority of the story was told through the movie.
Im reading the novelization of RoTS right now, and its not too different than the movie. Just more internal dialogue, more character interaction, and a bit more imagery than the movie. But it doesn't stray too much to explain why things are happening.
>>82295588
I wouldnt mind Luke being gay, but hes not. I mean the whole movie basically started because he got a chub for Leia.
>>82295641

Wouldn't telling your students that you are the son of, as >>82294851 put it, "one of the greatest mass murderers in galactic history" compromise his own position with his students?
I mean suppose you go to a priest to study under and train to become a priest yourself, for the record I have no idea how one becomes a priest, and then you find out he's the offspring of one of the biggest satanists in history. You might want to find another priest to study underor become a satanists yourself if you're a fucking idiot.
>>82280271
I think we could do with one more season of Rebels (or is S3 already confirmed?) and then move onto "Path to the Force Awakens" territory.
If they are REALLY daring and can keep things in concert with each other, a series during ST era alongside the movies. That would take a lot of planning, though. But hey, Clone Wars did it.
>>82295786
Well originally parts with Padme and Organa and stuff were supposed to be in the film, they didn't really touch on a very big reason that was partially the main cause of Vader, so it just makes it seem like "I must save muh waifu".
But that's whatever, I think the main diverging things are the way the Mace Windu/Palpatine fight is handled and the very end with Vader and Palpatine and the whole "noooooo" line. A few other things here and there, but they aren't nearly as major or important enough to care about.
>>82295507
>>82295452
>So maybe somebody leaked the information on her parentage
Obviously. The problem is that no one should know to be able to leak it.
>>82295395
Mas Amedda wasn't in Aftermath. He's still on Corsuscant during Aftermath trying to hold shit together during the mass riots throughout the planet.
But said advisor you're talking about knows that Sheev had a liking to Sith ways. That's it. Only Amedda, Vader and the Royal guard knew of Sheev's true identity. Beyond that, only a few in his inner circle knew or even suspected that he was even force sensitive.
>>82295588
It's not a meme. Hammil openly promotes the ambiguity of Luke's sexuality in order to allow for everyone to relate to the character.

>>82295921
>Obviously. The problem is that no one should know to be able to leak it.
Then you only have her close friends to blame for letting it slip and likely it's Luke's fault for trying to convince people Vader/Anakin wasn't all bad.
>>82292882
I would so watch a MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD IN SPACE. why has no one made that for real
>>82295861
No, he was doing it because a lot of people look up to Hamill as Skywalker, whether they're straight, gay, bi, or a jar of mayonnaise.
I'd like to believe that Hamill who is a very huge part of Star Wars would be respected in that decision and they'd roll with it, instead of tell him he's wrong, pissing him off, and he doesn't return.

I think so. I just thought that went without saying. Apparently I should've said it.
Also, both those posts are mine.
>>82295942
Siri Tachi, it was either in Jedi Quest or The Last of the Jedi.
It's one character I'd like to see at least mentioned again in canon, I liked her.
So suppose you were somehow in charge of the new Star Wars films but Disney required you to give Luke a love interest/partner. New, as in they meet for the first time on screen, or pre-established, as in they've already been together for a while before the new movies started, doesn't matter. How would you do it?
>>82295917
Ive talked about this before, but Im really loving the inner conflict of Anakin. I just got to the part where he tells Padme about his vision of her dying.
The dead star and the dragon imagery is really great.

Luke was probably going for, the dark side isn't as powerful as you think it is, even Darth Vader, my father conquered it. Which Ben twisted into "He was wrong, it was a momentary lapse in judgment" like he actually thinks.
Or Snoke told him, speaking of which, Snoke could be the one to leak the Leia/Vader secret too. He was around for The Clone Wars.

You'll really like the last few pages then, it goes into really good depths on Vader.
You might also like The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader and Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader if you haven't read either of those.
>>82295961
>Then you only have her close friends to blame for letting it slip
Han, Chewie or Lando? They're the only people who I could imagine they'd tell. I could see maybe Han or Lando leaking it if maybe they had too much Corellian brandy or something. Chewie less so since I doubt many people understand Shyriiwook.
Maybe 3PO? Nah. They should've seen that one coming.
>>82296107
No problem, I could be wrong on it, but I'm about 97-98% certain it was Siri Tachi.
>>82296051
I'd go for new. Have them build up to it over the course of the movie, affirm and solidify their love in the climax...
...then steal a page from On Her Majesty's Secret Service and have her killed off in the closing scene of the movie.
>>82296170
Ive read Rise of Darth Vader, but I havent heard of Rise and Fall.
Ive been really wanting to read Darth Plaques but its not in the mega at the time.
>>82296195
Well Han does know about her parentage, he does make the comment that there is too much of Vader in Ben, with that whole scene it seems like he knows at the very least.
>>82284607
I think there's an emotional part to Vader vs Maul since Maul took Qui-gon away from Anakin. Like it was his first loss and fucked up Anakin since he got stuck with Obi-Wan "failure" Kenobi.
>>82296091
>Snoke could be the one to leak the Leia/Vader secret too. He was around for The Clone Wars.
I suppose. If he's actually capable of using the force to a significant degree then I guess he could've met either Luke or Leia and found that bit of juicy intel through some subtle(or not subtle) force dickery.
>>82296249
If I can find my copy of Plagueis I'll add it to the Mega, but don't count on that, I think that's still at my parents.
Rise and Fall of Vader is basically a very short story with him having flashbacks and stuff. It basically details his entire POV from before Ep. 1 all the way to where it takes place, which I think is right before RotJ when he's headed to the Death Star II. It's really good, a very short read too honestly.
>>82296272
Not my fault, I tried to teach Anakin, he was a good friend. He should know bros before hoes and that I wouldn't be with Padme.
I'm going to fix the prequels:
Episode 1:
>Anakin aged up as in original concept art so his romance with Padme is less creepy, make him a lovable rogue with cheeky yet flirtatious banter who makes Padme feel her own age rather than a Queen. Combine TPM and AotC into 2 halves of the same movie. Same basic plot.
Episode 2
>Actually about the clone wars, show Anakin as an ultimately good hearted and loyal man who's maybe a bit misguided and impulsive at times. Basically show TCW animated series Anakin.
Episode 3
>Basically the same, following on from TCW
>>82296311
Don't worry about Plagueis. I'll probably end up torrenting it once Im done with RoTS. I just found Rise and Fall in the mega link. It looks interesting from what I googled.
>>82296051
Pre-established, have it be another older person like Luke. Explain that they keep on getting together and then breaking it off over and over again for some reason or another. Sometimes being a Jedi doesn't help with those kinds of things too much.
Have them mentioned through out the movies but their sex, gender, species, whatever are never mentioned until the climax of this batch of movies where they finally appear and Luke and them get back together and kiss on screen and all that shit.And have the partner be played by William Shatner just to fuck with people.
>>82296344
I just realized this entire image is a Photoshop edit of a Star Wars still and not a candid picture of Alec Guinness.
>>82296382
>>Anakin aged up as in original concept art so his romance with Padme is less creepy, make him a lovable rogue with cheeky yet flirtatious banter who makes Padme feel her own age rather than a Queen. Combine TPM and AotC into 2 halves of the same movie. Same basic plot.
But Anakin is 19 when she's 24 during AotC...that's not that weird at all man.
>>82296272
I'm not exactly feeling that one. We never got any real hint of that since Anakin scare, or even never, talked about him. And at this point in his life, I don't think he really gives any shits about Qui-Gon anymore. There really is no emotional build up between the two. In fact, the characters have never even been in the same frame as eachother apart from Tattooine where Maul and Qui-Gon first fought.
The only way I see this playing out with any weight behind it is if Sidious is present, and Vader's fighting Maul on his behalf since he needs to keep his force sensitivity incognito.
>>82296427
Hope you have fun with it man and the rest of RotS. I'm hoping we get some more inner Vader, his moment of slight solemn hesitation in Twilight of the Apprentice in Rebels and some of his subtle interactions with people during the Darth Vader comic run are at least a start.
>>82296382
And let someone other than Lucas write and direct it. Otherwise you'd still have cringey dialogue and shit cinematography.
>>82296516
I didn't like the books as much as a lot of people but I loved all the Vader inner monologue of Lords of The Sith.

>>82296528
>Otherwise you'd still have cringey dialogue and shit cinematography.
But the cinematography is what makes it as Star Wars film. It's the reason why JJ didn't use the same kind on TFA is why it felt nothing like a Star Wars movie.
>>82296603
I'm pretty picky with the books myself, I enjoy them and all, but some are pretty badly written, like the Republic Commando books. I'm glad they exist, but they're not greatly written by any means.
My favorite thing about the books and comics though is honestly Vader's inner monologues. After awhile you sort of just stop seeing Vader as Vader and just see him as Anakin, trying his hardest to forget, sort of like Kylo Ren actually where he says he killed Ben because he was foolish and stupid.
>>82296475
>But Anakin is 19 when she's 24 during AotC...that's not that weird at all man.
You know I meant TPM Anakin, you shit stain. Also, that is kind of wierd when it's older female. Older guy with younger women is really common, but the reverse is actually pretty rare within the 14 - 40 age group.
>>82296382

Awesome.
Hopefully Rian gives him more freedom than JJ did.
>>82297368
Williams is a bit slower with getting stuff done as he gets older, and I think part of the problem, was a Disney thing too and trying to get VII out as fast as possible. I know JJ Abrams fucked up a lot of production and shit with giving Williams just snippets of the film with no context or anything, but I think it'll be better for VIII and IX considering they have more time to work with and get him settled in.
>>82297218
I didn't like those more pronounced noses the Muun got outside of the movies.
>>82297368
Doubtful. Williams was recording for TFA while they were still shooting it. Williams only gives it his best when he has the LSO and the entire film cut and edited for him to work off of (which Lucas and Speilberg allowed him when he worked with them individually or together). I doubt Disney or the release scheduled will allow for him to do that.
>>82297081

Why does this shithole attract so many contrarians?
Is it because posts like this get buried on leddit?

Better than the original horror of Genndy Wars Muuns. I don't mind some of them having more pronounced noses (I mean, there's some variance in a species no matter what) since they DO have them, but they're looking to human like in either Clone Wars.

Like I said, EA is way smarter than to go an entire year with no Star Wars game. We will definitely be getting something released in 2016
>>82298082
I'd rather them show up as a Ghost Crew hunting them down, while Rex and Sabine end up running into Sev and he explains that he was attacked on Kashyyyk, separated from his brothers, and the attack damaged his chip. We could have Rex and Sev trying to teach Sabine, while trying to deal with Delta Squad and the ultimate Maul/Ezra/Kanan fiasco too.
At least I personally want that, I have no hope in an EA game to make Imperial Commando good.
>>82298138
No, considering it's called Imperial Commando. Not much time would have passed between that and Order 66 either, Yoda was on Kashyyyk when that happened.
>>82298213

True, it all depends on how canon Republic Commando would be.

So that's interesting. At some point it seems she's going to lose Anakin's lightsaber and create her own, which is kind of weird considering the entire deal about the Force/Kyber Crystal calling out to her in TFA (maybe it was just trying to get her spurned into action and on the right path).
I wonder when she gets the ligthsaber exactly, it's quite clear from this she'll be fighting with it.
Oh god...what if she has both Anakin's lightsaber and a staff or double-bladed saber?

>>82298392
To me Commandos seemed like these sneaky, going behind enemy lines soldiers to accomplish very specific objectives.
I just thought, since it seemed that they had special training and treatment, that they thought they either didn't need them, or they couldn't be used on them since they were encouraged to be individuals since birth.

I love how he's just sort of out of it in the Laser Moon Ep. 4 take.
I've always wondered what Jedi stances are on drugs and alcohol. Obi-wan doesn't seem to care all that much about Death Sticks obviously, but in that same scene you can see him drinking a shot.
I wonder if Obi-wan just became a crazy drunk on Tatooine.
>>82298469

>>82298553
Then what is the purpose of her doing the stunts with a regular 'lightsaber' stick? Unless we just see her training with it and then she creates her own and leaves to go help her friends as Luke did with Yoda.
Also I imagine Luke at least knows Vader killed younglings, I mean he at least has to know about Order 66, that and Vader's constant tyranny over the years, hell he blew up Alderaan too. Rey might know too considering the cries of the children that led it to her in the first place, and she does know of the Jedi, she might have read old stories on them.
>>82298551
Definitely possible, but I think a game called Imperial Commando would imply they did have chips and 'defected' as well.
>>82298585
I didn't think of that, that is definitely possible too. How do double-bladed lightsabers work with crystals anyways, do they need two, or do they just have two emitters/switches?
I'm curious if they'll go the actual pole-arm saber route with her too though. Doubtful honestly.
>>82298602
That looks really odd, and I personally have always hated lightsabers like that in the EU/Legends and fanart, it's odd to me.
>>82298602
I think that was the original concept for Kylo Ren to show his light and dark struggle, which I'm glad they didn't do.

>>82298750
Yeah, another Anon pointed out that Gregor had removed his, so Commandos do have chips.
So Delta Squad probably killed their fair share of Jedi ;-;
I think double-bladed uses two, since when Maul's was cut in half the other half just continued functioning as usual.
Unless the crystal just happened to be on that side of the saber.
A spear sort of saber could work for her too since that how she's been using her staff, poking people and stuff.
>>82298371
Good. I had been hoping Rey's preference for a staff would translate into her lightsaber training and she'd get a double-bladed lightsaber.
>>82298908
>Yeah, another Anon pointed out that Gregor had removed his, so Commandos do have chips.
>So Delta Squad probably killed their fair share of Jedi ;-;
To be fair, do you think they would object assuming RC is canon? I mean they'd be all for leading the charge against Yoda on Kashyyyk.
>I think double-bladed uses two, since when Maul's was cut in half the other half just continued functioning as usual.
>Unless the crystal just happened to be on that side of the saber.
That's what I was thinking, but I've never really looked into it honestly.
>A spear sort of saber could work for her too since that how she's been using her staff, poking people and stuff.
Agreed, it'd give her a sort of more elegant fighting stance too and make sense with some of her movements here >>82298586
I was never really fond of the whole pike/pole-arm thing, but it at least makes sense that they'd exist, as opposed to the dumbass lightsaber whips from EU.
>>82298750
>do they need two, or do they just have two emitters/switches?
I think they need two. Maul had half/less then half of his double bladed lightsaber leftover and it was still working.
I wonder if anyone counted all the star swipes are in all 7 movies.
I mean theres at least 16.
Just curious, have we ever seen what Dooku's lightsaber looked like when he was still a Jedi?
>>82299087
It was probably the same design since it requires a different form of using it.
>>82299087
Dooku's lightsaber showed up on a projection from Huyang during the Youngling arc. I just assume that he's using the exact same lightsaber he used when he was a Jedi and just replaced the kyber crystal with a new one.
>>82298951
Same, it just makes too much sense to give her a staff of some sort since that's how she's been fighting this whole time, both with her staff and lightsaber.
>>82298980
>To be fair, do you think they would object assuming RC is canon? I mean they'd be all for leading the charge against Yoda on Kashyyyk.
Yeah, even if they didn't have them, they'd probably just follow the order and kill him.
>That's what I was thinking, but I've never really looked into it honestly.
I tried looking for an answer but I didn't find anything.
If I recall though, in both Kotor and Swtor you need two crystals for a double bladed saber, but since that's not canon anymore, who knows.
>Agreed, it'd give her a sort of more elegant fighting stance too and make sense with some of her movements here >>82298586
Yup, that'd make her stand out from everybody else, which would be awesome!
>>82299014
Sounds about my right honestly. I wonder if we'll get any new lightsaber colors out of VIII and IX. I mean shades are typical since we have varying of Red, Blue, and Green, especially Green.
I'm curious if we'll get new ones, I highly doubt it, but it'd be nice.
>>82299206
Why replace the Kyber crystal? Is it still canon that the sith have synthetic crystals?
>>82299206
There is a lightsaber that looks strikingly similar to the one he had as a Jedi Knight when training Qui-Gon in Legends too.
>>82299382
afaik Sith use normal crystals that become red like their evil soul
>>82299382
>Is it still canon that the sith have synthetic crystals
No. And it won't be.
>>82299382
Yeah it's still canon, was first mentioned in "The Gathering" episode of The Clone Wars, and then identified as a Kyber Crystal in "A Test of Strength".
>>82299087
>>82299206
According to Absolutely Everything You Need to Know, Dooku's only had two lightsabers. He had one as a padawan and apparently switched to using his trademark one once he became a Jedi.
The vision of Good Dooku in the Yoda arc also had him with that lightsaber (if you look closely it doesn't have the little blade thing at the end until he gets red eyes and attacks, then it's suddenly back to normal) but it's hard to tell if that's an animation error or not. Being a vision it's not exactly reliable to begin with, but it's something to think about.
>>82299231
>I'm curious if we'll get new ones, I highly doubt it, but it'd be nice.
The best we could hope for is probably white or yellow. Though I'd hope for yellow for some Sentinel vibes and avoid any excessive symbolism with white.
>Red, Blue, and Green, especially Green.
I haven't see any variants of those. They've been pretty consistent/solid as far as I've seen. An argument could be made I suppose for Ahsoka's second lightsaber, as it's a yellowish green.

Whoops
>>82299422
He was asking if Sith having synthetic crystals is still canon, which so far it's not
>>82299382
No, Kyber Crystals attune with their user. They're basically generic crystals that once chosen begin resonating with the Jedi or Sith and assume the appropriate color for them.
They however don't seem to change color once chosen though. So they likely have to go find a new crystal anyways. Considering Obi-Wan and Anakin both have used someone else's green lightsaber and they didn't turn blue, and the fact that Luke/Rey both use Anakin's lightsaber, despite Luke's kyber crystal attunement being green.
>>82299382
>Why replace the Kyber crystal?
Because if he hadn't it wouldn't be red. Once a kyber crystal is attuned and emits a certain color, it stays that were permanently. He needed a fresh one to attune as a Sith so he'd get that red color.
>>82299472

But why change at all?
I mean I get that theres probably some kind of Sith ritual or whatever.. Meh, its kind of dumb.
An other thing. We see in TCW when the younglings get their crystal, it "chose" them. What happens if a lightsaber is destroyed? Like Anakins in AoTC. Does he have to go through the whole process and have an other crystal choose him or what?
>>82299537
Interestingly, Lucas originally planned for Anakin to have a red lightsaber in ROTS but kept it blue largely for the same reason Luke's was changed: it didn't stand out enough against the red Mustafar background. No idea how this was going to happen in-story though, if the lightsaber was going to change its color or if Anakin was going to adjust it and change out the crystal.
This still made it to some early merchandise (as seen here, a later revision replaces the red lightsaber hand with Dooku's lightsaber). The toy line also included a blue Anakin lightsaber with the Palpatine figure, based on an earlier version of the scene where Anakin would be present for the fight with Mace and he would snag his lightsaber to do the fight (look closely in the movie and you can still see the Anakin hilt in some shots). This one also got revised to a red lightsaber, though it was still Anakin's hilt.
>>82299468
I'd personally like to see Yellow for Rey myself.
Also virtually every Green Lightsaber in the movies has a different shade to it. I'd say this is chalked up to just different movies and time periods, but it exists within two instances of AotC as well, and I don't want to go through all of the Geonosis Lightsabers, but I imagine they're varying too at least somewhat. That and Yoda's Green lightsaber is consistent in AotC and RotS as well, so it seems odd that Anakin's and some others wouldn't be as well.
>>82299712
Sidious probably would have just given Anakin his Kyber Crystal, it'd also explain why he doesn't have a Lightsaber anymore.
>>82299712
I had a Anakin lightsaber that changed from red to blue with a push of a button. I dont know if that means it was originally going to switch in the movies. I just always thought it was a neat tidbit that Anakin goes evil.
>>82299689
I imagine the ritual only happens for the very first lightsaber crystal, since the challenge is less about finding "your" crystal and more about overcoming personal obstacle (fear, overconfidence, etc). I imagine if you later need a new crystal, you probably don't have to go through that whole thing. They might just let you use a spare one.
>>82299812
I had that as well in my early teenager years, wish I still had it. The red was very dull in the dark sadly compared to the blue.
I think they just made that so they didn't have to make two separate lightsabers honestly.
>>82299760
>it'd also explain why he doesn't have a Lightsaber anymore.
Does that even need an explanation? He has no reason to use it in ROTJ, so it's not like his lightsaber not appearing has to mean that it's gone.
>>82299472

>>82299819
I always wondered if the lightsaber color determines your job still.
Like how in KotOR Sentinels were Yellow, Force was Green, and Blue were Warriors.
I mean every single Temple Guard has a yellow lightsaber, pretty much all the warriors have blue, all the major force wielders still have green, all the sith still have red, and then we have Mace Windu, who has fucking purple, and Ahsoka with White. So she might have went to look for new crystals and it deemed her having no affiliation or care for either Jedi/Sith.
>>82299860
I still have it and its in working order. Its a neat lightsaber. A bit big, but it kind of nice. Especially it being 11 years old.
>>82299689
>But why change at all?
Apart from themes/symbolism? None at all. In universe? it's probably like you said; a Sith ritual thing.
>What happens if a lightsaber is destroyed? Like Anakins in AoTC. Does he have to go through the whole process and have an other crystal choose him or what?
Only if the crystal is damaged, I'd imagine. If the crystal made it, then he'd only just have to do repairs to what he can fix.
>>82299895
No it doesn't, but you know how people like to complain about it, despite him straight up saying a Lightsaber is a Jedi's weapon and the whole Sith just use it out of tradition to mock the Jedi thing too. Which I don't even know if that is still canon anymore.
I mean he did originally have two lightsabers, with one being destroyed during his duel with Maul. Seems a little odd he wouldn't use one against Luke if push came to shove, then again he didn't need it at all to take care of Luke.
Speaking of which, does it get destroyed in the Yoda fight? I don't remember if he puts it away or loses it prior to his senate chair flinging.
>>82299930
I lost mine sadly in a storage building I couldn't afford a few years ago, along with some other stuff I wish I hadn't, but what can you do.
I do still have a very old toy from like the mid 90s or 80s I wanna say that was the original white lightsaber design because they hadn't made blue yet for some reason, just a solid white lightsaber that had the extension parts and no electronics.
>>82300012
>Speaking of which, does it get destroyed in the Yoda fight? I don't remember if he puts it away or loses it prior to his senate chair flinging.
We don't see what happens to it. We see them dueling, then cut away to Mustafar, and then when we cut back to Coruscant he's already throwing chairs. I figure he just put the lightsaber away so he could use both hands (which Yoda also does once he decides to start throwing chairs back at him).
>>82300082
Just imagine what went through their minds then.
>I'm gonna start throwing chairs at him
>Is this mothafucka throwing goddamn chairs at me, ahhh hell nah
>Duel is over
>Talking to Bail and he asks what exactly happen
>Throw chairs at me he did motherfucker he is
Can we just call that the chair duel, I mean it starts out with Yoda force pushing Palpatine into a chair.
>>82299924
>I always wondered if the lightsaber color determines your job still.
Doesn't seem to be that case, if it ever was. I think it the crystal color just attunes to/ and represents it's owners aura in the force for lack of a better way to put it.
The sentinels all have yellow, like you said and that seems to be the only 'job specific' color.
>and then we have Mace Windu, who has fucking purple,
The only reason for that is because Jackson wanted to stand out. He literally wanted to be able to point himself out in the battle scenes on Geonosis.
>and Ahsoka with White.
Those technically may not be hers. I think Filoni mentioned that all her gear is salvaged from an abandoned Jedi temple. Though Tera Sinube had a white lightsaber.
>>82300082
Y'know, I could've sworn that I saw him drop it at some point between the force lightning and the throwing of the senate. My memory is a little fuzzy atm, but I remember seeing something drop during that fight besides Yoda.
>>82300233
We do see Yoda's lightsaber drop after Sidious zaps it out of his hand, that might be what you're remembering.
>>82297963
I wanted >>82297963 to happen, but it will probably be >>82297950, with maybe a little bit of the Star Wars game that Visceral was developing
>>82300182
Fair enough on Mace, the Sentinels still bother me about the whole Kyber Crystal thing.
And you're right I did forget about Tera Sinube and his weird cane saber thing, which is neat. Though originally I saw it as Silver as opposed to white, but I guess it is white.
Kyber Crystals make no sense, neither does the Force.
>>82300012
>with one being destroyed during his duel with Maul
He had both when he was finished with Maul.
He did however lose one when he lost his duel with Windu. flew out the window.
>>82300082
>I figure he just put the lightsaber away
Most likely case. He was using one (and only one) on Ryloth when Cham was hunting him. And let us not forget the Lylekk nest.
>>82300233
Yoda's lightsaber drops, don't recall anything on Sheev's though.
>>82300318
>>82300271
My bad, I misread the conversation.
>>82300290
>the Sentinels still bother me about the whole Kyber Crystal thing.
Well each crystal is attuned once and only once. It could be that in being of the mindset for a sentinel affects how one would attune a crystal and thus get the yellow color. In times when a Sentinel was still a padawan, they probably had the standard blue or green.
>Though originally I saw it as Silver as opposed to white,
When in reference to a blade made of plasma/light, is there really a difference?
>Kyber Crystals make no sense, neither does the Force.
They can. We're just working on understanding them. Just be calm and mindful and approach it slowly and rationally.
Admittedly, when I was a kid. I use to think that Blue was for knights and green was for masters.

Then it turns out that the stupid little shit has the Force and finds a super awesome "kyber saber".
Fuck this gay galaxy.
>>82301309
Proof?
>>82301491
I colored it, that's proof. I color dropped it in Paint Tool SAI so I wouldn't get the actual shading and tone wrong. I just went with blue eyes since Mirialan's have those and assumed the black part of the eyes were due to Sith shenanigans, which I could be wrong on that front.
>>82301403
The Lego stuff works a lot better when they're not trying to make their own OCs.
The Yoda Chronicles were really hit or miss because the character of Jek-14 pretty much sucks the joy out of any scene he's in. Rather than play him for laughs like everyone else he's a serious and kind of brooding character and he doesn't fit with the silly tone at all.
>>82301403
Man, fuck Lego. When am I gonna get my Corellian Corvette?
>>82301541
>I colored it, that's proof.
You did it wrong, son. Not sure how you ended up with "dark, vaguely olive" skin but you screwed something up.
The fact that you didn't even step back and look at your work to see if it sat right and just went "oh well I color dropped so it must be perfect" further tells me you don't know what you're doing.
>>82301731
Because, her skin is not consistent in it's shading, and in fact is closer to the olive drab than it is the yellow of that modeling you have, and the one I used as well.
>>82301936
Well there's your problem, you didn't take the lighting of those individual shots into account.
>>82281064
Cant Stall the Maul. Hope he continues to be a force of nature in the series.
>>82301936

It is. You just didn't realize that the way a scene is lit affects the way the color looks.
You're a moron is what I'm saying.

>>82281662

>Hope he continues to be a force of nature in the series.
Sounds good, when will he start?
>>82281662
Oh my god what did they to my man Hondo?!
>>82301994
Her light at it's brightest in all cases of the show is more olive than it is yellow, outside of that one instance you posted.
Even then it's confirmed that Mirialan's have Green, Yellow, or Olive skin tones. And as the case with Ahsoka, it stands to reason that a shading on an alien race can change as they grow older. Ahsoka is a little lighter than what she was during TCW, and her headdress also has different patterns, even to those we've seen during the Mortis vision of her as an adult.
Either way, it's not that big of a deal. If you're so worried about it, do it yourself then.
>>82302040
Ok, then explain how almost all scenes of her, the lightest skin tone ends up being closer to olive than yellow. I guess all lighting in the galaxy makes yellow look olive right?
Do it yourself if it bothers you so much. Not like that was originally Jedi Seventh Sister anyways, just a Mirialan.

Apparently it uses many of them. I assume they're all roughly the same size and shape as the one in TCW.
>>82302417
No raids yet.
Also, I hope you haven't done any daily challenges yet.
>>82302417
It's not, at least not really. Not even at half-roster, it desperately needs an infusion of membership.
I'm curious to see how it works, but not sure how expensive it is to initiate. I wouldn't mind going on a very low level raid just to see how it works out but I think people are saving up for one of the big ones.
>>82302360
Thank you.
I personally enjoyed Season 2 quite a lot, I wish it had a little more Ahsoka and SS had been Barriss for a little bit more of a dynamic, but otherwise very enjoyable and Twilight of the Apprentice has me excited for S3, Sabine Show or not. Granted I really like Sabine despite her not really doing anything, she has a lot of potential.
Favorite starship though, that's a hard one, probably the A-Wing or the S-Foils in RotS.

>>82302499
I don't even know how these work. Apparently you have to use some ridiculous amount of energy each day?
>>82302440
It uses multiple crystals. I assume the one found on Utapau was one of them used in it's construction.
The First Order uses them too, I believe they use them in their Star Destroyer's Ion Cannons.

Yeah, I've been waiting for more of that, as well as seeing more detail on how the Empire treated Mandalore and her citizens. I'd like to see Korkie and I wonder if he's a rebel or if he's joined the Empire outright.
I like these new Mando fighters in rebels, they're really growing on me.

>>82302558
Didn't that one explode? But honestly, I wished the Utapau arc was fully animated, everything is there for it to be done.
>>82302685
that looks autistic
>>82302692
Same here, I really would like to have seen Satine survive and see how she handled the Empire, Order 66 (with no word of whether Obi-Wan survived or not), and how she'd interact with Sabine, since they are family if I recall.
It'd have been nice. I'm really hoping Sabine ends up with a more natural blonde hair with orange highlights and more grayish/blue Death Watch armor, that actually fits her.
I'd say Korkie is an Imperial honestly, and I'm starting to think that Sabine might actually be an Imperial Spy too, which would be huge.
>>82302550
Guild tasks are a team effort. Everything you do in regards to the daily task goes into a pool shared with the guild. The more you put into it, the better it affects the guild (which means you might have to spend crystals for recharges).
>>82302721
The guild task itself changes each day to different things:
Sun-Mon: Cantina Battles
Mon-Tues: Light Side Missions
Tues-Wed: Galactic War
Wed-Thur: Hard Mode missions
Thurs-Friday: Daily Challenge
Fri-Sat: Dark Side missions
Sat-Sun: PVP
Honestly, I'm surprised they're having us do the challenge mode levels today. Then again, it would be too crazy to do it on Sunday when all the challenge levels are open.
>>82302693
Challnege mode. Y'know, attk/tank/support unit only levels
>>82302560
Trying to get a clue from their "raid booster packs" apparently it's just about everyone. In their guaranteed character pack (just $54.99!) you can get... 3* Luminara, one of the easiest Jedi to farm and star, 4* Ackbar, and a 1* Royal Guard! And Royal Guard shards!
I don't know what the fuck EA is thinking. Trying to figure out clues for how to prepare for raids by looking at what they want you to purchase hasn't been very helpful.
>>82302742
Oh it definitely is, this is the original, just changed the colors in about 4-5 seconds just to see.
>>82302733
I honestly don't remember, probably though. I imagine Utapau might have more crystals like that or Ilum for instance. Speaking of crystals, do we have any confirmation of whether Moraband still contains Kyber Crystals?

Here's a detailed schedule.
Get to work.
>>82302513
>Doesn't matter, his ass got thrown out
There is no thrown out. Just cause he got replaced, twice, doesn't mean he ceases to be a Sith Lord. He follows their teachings and traditions. He is not an apprentice, he's a rival who wants to take over or at least establish his own Sith line. He's still Darth Maul.
>>82302894
>doesn't mean he ceases to be a Sith Lord.
It's exactly what it means. To be a Sith you have to be directly involved in the Master-Apprentice system that rules the Sith hierarchy. If you are cast out of that and replaced, like Maul was with Dooku, then you are just a regular Dark Side user that learned some Sith things in the past. Maul even makes a point in Rebels to say that "Darth" is not part of his name anymore.
>>82302769
Sadly I already got mine done for the day. I kept thinking about asking if there was a schedule. At least I know now.
I couldn't really spend any on the Hard Mode missions beyond a few of my daily shard farms. Everything else was spent in farming for the goddamn widgets to outfit people. I actually need to work on some of the paths to open farming for rarer crap but I'm getting sick and goddamn tired of missions that make me fight waves of EOA spam which the protection update made even bigger pains in the ass to fight.
>>82302894
He doesn't really follow Sith teachings anymore, he still believes in the Dark Side and all that, but he's more akin to Kylo Ren or Snoke now, where he just wants death to his enemies, Jedi, Sith, whoever.
>yfw Snoke is Darth Maul and that's why his face is all fucked up and crushed
>years of suffering has caused scars even his horns to be removed
>>82302748
>and how she'd interact with Sabine, since they are family if I recall.
They're not. Sabine comes from a house that owes fealty to Clan Vizsla, not clan Kryze.
>>82302748
I think if Satine had survived, she would have lived for long under Imperial reign. She was too just a leader and would fight tooth and nail against injustice on her planet.
>Sabine might actually be an Imperial Spy too
I don't think she's a spy, but I do believe she would leave the rebels/Ghost Crew to do her own thing in her own manner.
>>82302775
At this point, we'll have to dive in and see, even if it's on a rank-one attempt.
>dat pack
>Royal Guard
One of my first unlocks. I ignored him, then suddenly he becomes the top tank in the PVP meta.
Got Leia from the raid pack. Pity that she won't be much use until I get more shards in her.
>>82302974
I can feel your pain. I still need to go further enough to be able to farm shards for the FO Pilot. He hits hard, but he's cannon fodder at his base 2-star rank.
>>82303007

>>82303049

>>82303008
Yeah I sadly don't think Satine would have survived long at all. Hell she might have just straight given up after finding out about Order 66 and the Galactic Empire. I mean if even the great Obi-wan is dead and couldn't stop it to her, what else is there.
I want an Obi-wan/Ewan cameo or something in Rebels so bad. I don't know after the whole Black Sun/Imperial Academy thing with Sabine and the fact that the Imperials always know whats going on with the Rebels, something isn't sitting right with me. Probably just plot convenience though.

He's probably murdered more than that, he's Darth Vader, bane of the Rebellion and all around nightmare to all that meet him. As well as being Emperor Palpatine's attack dog.

There are a lot of funky things about Earth.
>>82303143
>Alderaan with 2 billion people
Tarkin did that.
>>82303143
Vader didn't blow up Alderaan. It was Tarkin's order and Tarkin's battle station. He's killed more people than Vader did, even with the new canon comics showing Vader just slaughtering rebel soldiers.
>>82300061
Aww im sorry buddy. That white lightsaber does sound cool.
>>82303143
>>Alderaan with 2 billion people
That was Tarkin's plan.
>>82302967
>To be a Sith you have to be directly involved in the Master-Apprentice system that rules the Sith hierarchy.
Not really. Being cast aside by your master doesn't make you any less a Sith Lord than you were before. To be a Sith means to follow their teachings and traditions, which he does. Sans Vader, once one becomes a Sith, you don't stop until your dead. Maul wants Sidious and Vader gone so his own Sith line can exist. Filoni and others have directly stated as such.
>Maul even makes a point in Rebels to say that "Darth" is not part of his name anymore.
Because he was deceiving them (specifically Ezra) for his own ends.
>>82303172
Is it true that Vader didn't like the Death Star?
>>82303169
>>82303172
Vader was still fine with it and even takes pieces of Alderaan to show other planets to make them bend to the Empire.
He's no better by any means, he's just as guilty.
>>82303228
It doesn't matter that Vader used the aftermath of it to make his points. He still didn't tell the technicians to fire on Alderaan; the kills can't be attributed to him for just standing there holding Leia back.

"The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force."
-Darth Vader
>>82302977
>He doesn't really follow Sith teachings anymore
Except he does. Sith teachings and traditions beget power. Sith crave power, and so their arts sate that, and simultaneously make them want more. Their ways are the best path to take. It's not a Sith's nature to refuse power. To give up their ways is to do just that. He is still a Sith Lord you don't stop.
>>82303305
>Vader shilling the Force to fucking Sheev
Come on dude
>>82303338
Sheev doesn't give a fuck about the Force anymore. He's actively trying to find ways to get around it with pure cybernetics and science.
Palpatine just wants ultimate power even if it means corrupting the Force beyond imagine, and I think he legit believed the Death Star was stronger than the Force, which is ironic considering Luke used the Force to destroy it thanks to Obi-wan's force ghost.
>>82303391
IRONIC

>He's actively trying to find ways to get around it with pure cybernetics and science.
That's kinda retarded considering what he saw Plagueis do.
>>82303391
Not true. His ultimate goal is further than even immortality but to become a Dark Side god.
His relationship with Doctor Cylo is a curious one and people have speculated what he's really after since the man first showed up. The last issue of Darth Vader had Sheev telling Vader that he'd finally reveal his purpose. So we'll find out.
>>82303565
He saw that in an alternate timeline.
>>82303391
>Sheev doesn't give a fuck about the Force anymore.
Not true! He actually wants the Ultimate Jedi Weapon! A sword composed of PURE KYBER CRYSTAL! Fuck just having a dinky one in the hilt, the Kyber Sword has 99.99999998% more Kyber Crystal! That makes it 99.99999998% more badass! THIS IS TOTALLY AND IRREFUTABLY CANON!

I don't.... what makes it powerful? I mean what does it do better than a lightsaber? It just smashed in the trailer, which a lightsaber can't do
>>82303641
>Sheev dreams of Legends
"W-WHA!? ... By the Fucking Force, what the hell did I just see?"
"Meesa seein' dat shit longo time, sah."
"Representative Bink! What was in that crunk you shared with me!? My whore son had like fifteen lightsaber blades! And what the fuck is a yoo-zan bong?"
"Oo, oo! Passa it over here!"
>>82303838
Well it's 99.9999998% more kyber than a regular lightsaber, sounds pretty self-explanatory to me! Maybe you need to go brush up on your kyber knowledge, mister.we don't know, this whole thing is retarded
How was Vader surprised by Han showing up at the end of IV when he's got precog?
>>82303838
Well apparently you can break it by hitting it against rocks so probably you don't use it as an actual sword. My guess is it's the key to a some ancient, long lost big of awesome, like the Jedi Master Executive Washroom in the Temple-turned-Emperor's-Palace.
So y'all have read the Foundation series, right?
You can see its influence all over Star Wars.
I recommend it

Luke was distracting him with his Force Wang
>>82304037
It isn't something that's active 100% of the time.
>>82304037
You ever play KotOR 2?
Han is like Atton.
People with complex emotions mess with Jedi precog
>>82304040
Thousands of years ago, in the early history of the Jedi, Grand Master of the Order Dookee, great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather to Count Dooku, totally clogged up all the stalls. Ashamed of what he had done he broke the Kyber Sword so none would ever discover what Taco Tuesday had done to him.
So basically when Sheev opens that sucker up he's in for a surprise.
>>82304037
What everyone else said, plus he was focused 100% on shooting Luke. Precog is in the vision side of the Force, and as such it's not totally reliable.
>>82304037
A bigger question is how nobody aboard the Death Star's probably hundreds of sensor stations noticed the Falcon sneaking up on them
>>82303577
Probably to get Vader's confidence back and to train him more by pitting rivals against him to make him ruthless. Which is still interesting considering he knows how the Sith acts, he knows what Vader will eventually do.
>>82304376
>Which is still interesting considering he knows how the Sith acts, he knows what Vader will eventually do.
He's counting on it, since this also tests his own skill. By his standards, there's no such thing as an apprentice that's too ruthless or too power hungry, that's exactly what Sidious wants. As the master, it's his job to remain several steps ahead of the apprentice and to keep his own guard up. Only the strongest can be the Sith master, and an apprentice that makes attempts to betray and usurp that power also keeps the master on his toes. If the apprentice is successful, then the master was no longer worthy of being the master.
>>82304323
Oh they noticed.
But how are they gonna tell Vader in the span of a few minutes?
Bureaucracy takes time
>>82304376
For what it's worth Cylo does claim to be immortal as part of his weird experimental system with one of his duplicates activated upon the current version's death. Sidious may be interested in that as a possible way to extend his life, but it depends. I cannot imagine it transfers the true person and is just a copy, a fake that thinks it's the real thing. Sidious wouldn't want to survive that way because it wouldn't really be him. Plus there's no guarantee the copy would have all of his power.
>>82304323
I imagine it was a number of things ranging from already tracking the ships and debris around the Death Star and some people like to point out the way Han came from the sun wasn't just drama but he was using the star to mask his approach.

And whats more, not everyone can do it. Some have better talent for clairvoyance than others, and the rest are simply incapable of it. The force can show you things, but it does so in it's own fashion for everyone in different ways.
