>>283385005Star Wars is dead meat. And it will be for as long as Disney exists. Why bother?
>>283385005Andor was basically the last somewhat interesting piece of star wars media, and that was mainly due to the showrunner and his team, not the source material. Disney killed the franchise. The millenials moved on, mostly to anime, and the zoomers never bought in. Gen A doesn't even know what it is.
>>283385005Some episodes from S1 were pretty good and definitely better than whatever the fuck disney is shitting out. It's not high bar to pass, but still. And i think that lightsabers are cool.
>>>/co/
>>283385005>Star WarsWho the fuck carers?
People are gushing over Ohira's short and the lineup of animators does look pretty insane. Too bad that Star Wars is gay as hell.
>>283385672It's made by japanese studios just like the first season was. But S2 is /co/, yes
The Ohira episode looked fucking insane. This man is quite possibly the greatest animator of the modern day
trash. only one male protag.
>>283386666checked
The Ohira one is technically incredible but did anyone else feel absolutely nothing watching it?
>>283386666checked and based
I have the fatigue. I can't care.
>>283385005It is hard to care when it is all just different short stories unconnected with each other. They should have continued stories they started in season 1 in seasons 2 and 3
>>283385005Why not just make a full new series by now? There's tons of stories that would've been great like the Kemono girl, twins, or Lah Kara from 9th jedi
>>283386809almost like animation is a medium
>>283387801They're literally gonna turn the 9th Jedi into a show.
>TRIGGER episode>directed by otsukadropped
>>283387854Thats cool Lop should get one too she had a great design.
>back to japanese studiosEh maybe I'll give it a chance.
>>283387901Yeah The Elder was incredibly dull so I'm not expecting anything from this. For me the only value of these shorts is being an animation showcase, so they really should have gotten someone like Yoshinari on the job.Then again working on this probably would have meant not contribibuting to NPSG, and I sure as hell cared more about that than about fucking Star Wars.
>>283388168
>>283385005>>283384981>no thread
the sequel trilogy and the other spin-off series managed to genuinely ruin star wars to below the ground. j.j. abrams with those mystery boxes and shaky cams and just doing a reboot was a mistake.
>>283389068There was none when i started typing :^)
>>283385185It is so baffling how Disney spent insane amount of money to acquire Star Wars, and then just absolutely tanked it's popularity by ...sheer corporate greed. Their new movies scream out "designed by committee with only merch sales in mind".They really killed the franchise. They had a goose that lays golden eggs and really killed it by cutting it open in their haste to get to the gold faster. Now even old die-hard fans have moved on and couldn't care less about it. The only succeeded in the small tv series like Andor because they considered it a throw-away and didn't bother to micromanage the production. It gave the director something rare in disney productions: freedom to do something cool wihtou over-merching everything. They were made by fans who cared about the source material and did not consider it to be just another cash-cow. Some of the Disney star wars stuff remind me of their other production: "Crater". It seems to be very formulaic disney production about quirky kids on moon, having an adventure to solve some mystery or the other. And it was SO FUCKING BORING that I just dropped it. It had that "designed by committee" feeling to it where they have a cast with "quirky kids with different backgrounds", token ethnic groups to appoease everyone, it had a little bit of social commentary how rich get the cool stuff and the poor has to make do with scraps, It had clearly some budget to make it semi-believable moon outpost mission... and I could not give a fuck about any of the characters. they are soulless card-board cut outs just like disney's new star wars characters. The production does not try to do anything new, it does not push the envelope one bit. I was surprised they didn't have "here's the easily merchable mascot that you can buy" character, like some loveable robot.Disney is a soulless megacorp which does not care about the source material. And you can often tell it from their end products. Star Wars just became a casualty of it.
>>283385005Well, I guess I'll check their episodes out, I suppose.
>>283385185Andor is liberal propaganda. They literally had a storyline about how deportation bad
>>283390842She's the only reason I have even the slightest modicum of interest in this.
>>283390884>The story about rebels fighting a totalitarian government from a franchise known for doing exactly that portrayed governmental actions as negativeWhat a shocker
the world needs more sexy sith
First ep was good despite the downgrade in visuals and use of cgi, not really a star wars story, but used the sw elements well. Also hot nee-san.
Was the F one any good?
Ep2 is brainrot, fits well with nuwars.
>>283387801>Why not just make a full new series by now?Disney would rather let the franchise tank than let the Japanese make a superior product.
>>283391684the ending was the only decent part.
>every short NEEDS to be about jedis and have lightsabers in it Star Wars is so boring and shit.
>>283391803Well the alternative is a bunch of smugglers doing boring smuggler stuff.
>>283391803Almost certainly mandated by disney.
>>283391882Naturally. Can't have anything cool like a bounty hunter or a blaster fight.
>>283391969I'd bet they even forced mascot characters too.I'm also guessing that they don't want to be showed up by the japs, so they placed other limiters on them.
>>283391803Almost like the space wizard-monks with laser swords are cool or something. I sympathize to some degree, but it's sort of like watching gundam and getting angry that it's all about big dumb mecha.
>>283391803>getting pissed off when transformers has robots in it
>>283391579>>283391684Yeah the first episode was incredibly good with Anee-san being sexy and having that over top light saber for her hand. I liked how Grand Master was presented with his fast animated movements and presented as a Jedi when he was only a Sith. That was a good first episode hopefully Ronin banged that Twi'lek
>>283391803I mean if you have a chance to get involved with Star Wars you would want to use its most iconic aspects.
>>283392507I'm glad BG reactions are making the rounds.
I enjoyed TRIGGER'S episode. Also, new OTP
Any new waifus?
I liked the Kinema Citrus onesthe only really bad one was the bird of paradise onethe rest were whatever
>>283395037Chita was cute. Reminded me of Amanda from LWA.
>>283390753Forgive me because this reply has little to do with the content of your postI just want to say the color use and imagery of older sci-fi art is just so good at evoking a sense of "otherworldliness" (maybe the word I'm looking for is psychedelic). I don't feel like you get that nowadays.
Rehash upon rehash. Not a single original idea.
>inherit the golden goose to end all golden geese >kill it through sheer incompetence and malevolence
The first episode's artstyle was great. It's horrible now
>>283391803Yes. There's nothing else that is even remotely interesting in star wars.
>>283391803>nooo you don't understand we need to know blargbo fett's backstory!Star Warsfags are so annoying. Nobody cares about anything besides lightsaber fights.
Total Stormtrooper Death
the duel part 2: lol the japs really do lean into the force being a balance, when in reality the jedi was essentially correct, he just lost his way seeking revenge
>>283397089sakuga
>>283397089These animated Stormtroopers seem to me to be more humanized than the live-action Stormtroopers.
>>283397089just finished it and it was...something
>>283391803The last one everyone liked has no lightsabers or jedi in it
>>283397492Andor left in absolute shambles
for me, of the continuations>e1>e6>>e3of the new ones e5>e2>e4>e7>e8and the Ohira one was so unique i'm not even compare it to the rest, overall it did feel more grounded compared to the first season, also i really appreciated all the gratuitous tummy shots of the bounty hunter
the bounty hunter one was pretty cute
>>283385005No Lop no interest.
>>283391701Yes! The shoes also make a comeback
>>283399168Good to know
>>283385083It's not like it was great before Disney. Any time you consume SW content now you have to remember that the shitty prequels are canon, and the shittier sequels are canon too. At that point you might as well get invested into some other fictional universe that's unfucked instead of pretending the parts of SW you don't like don't exist.>>283392296The problem is that they're one dimensional. They have a lightsaber and telekinesis, sometimes lightning. That's it most of the time. As far as fictional wizards go it's the most boring kind there is, and in a universe full of aliens and many sequels, prequels and side material, you'd think we would've met something more interesting or more powerful by now. Instead, Jedi and Sith are obviously more powerful and special than everyone else and can reflect projectiles and basically are mary sue saiyans in a universe of humans.
Best episode was the one with the black haired bitch and blonde guy by far, Everything else was pretty mid
>>283392296That's true, but I also want more pew-pew zoom-zoom
>>283391494They should have balanced it with the Empire using a fake epidemic to clamp down on civil liberties
>>283391877Maybe it could be about dogfights too
>>283395407Ho lee fuck did episode 9 drop of a cliff that's fucking hillarious
>>283395407What part of this is malevolence? Yidsney loves money, this is obviously just a result of greed and, as you say, incompetence.
>>283399706I didn't know they had Kamome Shirahama do original character deisgns for this. Not bad at all. And more proof that noses aren't dead.
>>283385005>2025>Star WarsHeh.
>imagine the handjobs
WHERE IS SHE.
>>283400398>she will never step on you
>>283390753It's funny because the first actually widely beloved thing they did with Star Wars was the Mandalorian and they again completely ruined it with greed to pump out more baby yoda merch. Not to mention trying to force the "Star Wars Cinematic & Streaming Universe" with dozens of vaguely interconnected shitty spin-off shows like Bubba Fatt. Sometimes less is more.
>>283400466Replaced and forgotten by smug aliums that need correction
>>283397089Is this what drugs is like?
>>283400620I love how much of a scumbag she is
Should Star Wars lean more into /m/echa? I thought episode 2 was kinda neat
>>283385005>S3H-Huh...
Cute and funny twi'lek. And let's don't forget her sweet JK sister
Any other shorts worth watching besides Black?
>>283395175Old school psychedelic Jodorowsky/moebius/Agent Valerian and Laureline -level dream-like art about far future romanticism was a very strong influence on the original star wars. Definently would like to see more of that.
>>283385005Loved The Lost Ones. F is a fucking great character and the episode, while not as good as the Village Bride, was great. Just hope they aren't shipping her with the blonde fuckHope it'll get a full series
>>283404535The sequel to the Village Bride
>>283393032>>283400398How does she wipe?
>>283402326anime is saved
I dont understand. Im starting to love evil women
>>283399937no, you don't get it. YOU GUYS are the empire now. You always were.
>>283390753>They really killed the franchise. They had a goose that lays golden eggs and really killed it by cutting it open in their haste to get to the gold faster.Perfectly put, 'nough said.
>>283390753>Disney is a soulless megacorp which does not care about the source material.Add to that they are stupid to the point of focusing only on immediate profit instead of the long term, which ironically results in less profit and deceased franchises. At least we got Andor and Star Wars Visions (which they can still ruin), maybe they'll understand that fans want good stuff and are more than happy to pay for it, which is Disney's end goal
>>283404975>TheyLucas? thought he was one person. he referring to himself as "they" now?
>>283404883they've had almost 50 years to realize this and they never have
>>283399937Burgers are so utterly retarded, it never cease to amaze. It has to be the corn syrup, that shit must make you fat AND stupid.
>>283390884I bet you can't aim a blaster to save your life
>>283391803yeah we should've gotten a SOL Palpatine short
>>283404986You sound like you know how to run a multi trillion dollar entertainment industry. must be nice using your knowledge to be so rich
>>283405057No, I simply have eyes
>>283405019He sounds like the type of person banned from owning a blaster
>>283394955>BGWhat's that?
>>283400296
>>283405062>he says on a website that pirates the majority of content thus bankrupting said industries>they should give the people stealing from them, what they want some of the series highest grossing films have been after Disney bought them out. the people that do pay have already spoken with their wallets
>>283405044Robot chicken already exists
>>283405196I've seen all the new trilogy movies in theater and I renew my Disney+ subscription every time there's something on the platform that I'm interested to watch anon. I vote with my wallet
Star Wars should have ended a long, long time ago. In the 70s it was novel concept, the old adventure serial format in a setting that cleverly mixed western, chambara, WW2, fantasy and eastern philosophy, all with groundbreaking special effects. But it certainly wasn't something worthy of being dragged on for 50 years, nor even designed for it. It's all because of greed and a weird cultish obsession over a fine New Hollywood flick. Alec Guinness was right.
>>283396226i would prefer pure spacebattles to be honest
>>283406151If Alec Guinness was righ, then Star Wars never had any value, he wasn't even a fan of the original concept iirc. Or maybe it was Lucas' shoddy writing that made him see it as worthless nonsense.
The Production IG one looked really rough. You can clearly see that all their talents are working on Shinkai's film.
>>283386809>written by OhiraWhat did he write? It was literally just a bunch of random scenes put together with music that didn't fit. Really disappointing.
>>283395407Those are insane numbers if t hey are true, I remember /tv/ disney shills saying the Force Awakens made like a billion and the Last jedi too
>>283395407How the fucking fuck is possible that TFA just got them 500m? That movie got 2 billions box office. Wft man.
>>283408156They spent absurd amount of money on marketing
>>283395075Snood
>Star Wars gets an anime anthology>not MarvelFuck you Disney!
>>283404860It's a time-honored Star Wars tradition
>>283385005fuck star wars, it just a boring story about good guys against bad guysanime has overpassed all star wars media, only nostalfans cares
>>283404735I use my tongue to clean her.
>>283408156Half of the box office never goes to the studio. Marketing costs are not included in production budget.
>>283391803Its called milking the space cow
>>283407652>>283408156The issue is not that they overspent on marketing, it's that they've delivered such a subpar product that even with the strongest marketing they couldn't get enough people interested. >>283408548Marvel gets manga. Here is a full color page from Deadpool.
>>283395407>Rise of SkywalkerAnd to think these retards are going through with another Rey movie
>>283408975When is her brother going to fuck her?
I like lop, her design a cute
>>283397206>The Balance is 50% Jedi - 50% Sith>Last Jedi interpretation is now canon.Oh boy... i like the Sith Ronin but... his Master purposely trained him wrong as joke.
I really like F's episode's music
>>283391803Nigga the almost entire EU was about wanking off jedis.Star Wars worldbuilding is way too fucking shallow and incoherent to make any interesting stories that don't revolve around the themes of the main movies, this isn't Mass Effect or Star Trek. Lucas let retarded fanboys have too much freedom before purchase and disney's current directive line is just "make slop".
>>283411688He is not even sith, just larping.
>>283391803>every short NEEDS to be about jedis and have lightsabers in it It pisses me off so much. >>283391877>the alternative is a bunch of smugglers doing boring smuggler stuff.Star Wars Galaxies is proof that being a dancer in a cantina could be more fun than being a Jedi.
>>283412757I remind you that during Andor, there were literally retarded people like Star Wars Theory who complained that there were no Jedi, and a Star Wars without Jedi isn't Star Wars.True story...Star Wars has so much more to offer, but people want a particular kind of flavor. In my opinion, it would have been interesting to introduce various groups of Force users who are not Jedi and are less powerful (such as the Temple guardians), but with different roles and responsibilities, because the mysticism of the Force is undoubtedly one of the most interesting aspects. And Andor is pretty good thriller sci-fi that shows how stories without a Jedi can still work.
>>283412757>bounty hunters book>xwing books>thrawn books>more popular games include a flight sim, a battlefield clone and a mixed strategy game>republic commando spawned multiple booksSW had tiered canon, with the movies being the core, thr EU had some stories lifted, but it was mostly just fanfic tier, and for a good reason.The issue always was unsupervised addition, even from George, and now Filoni can just waifufag.
Anyway, I quite liked the the Duel sequel with the initial fight on the double Walkers. Aesthetically, it was really nice episode. Cool setting, really.
>>283413143>and now Filoni can just waifufag.He's too attached to his Rebels characters. If it were up to him, Anakin would be saved by Ashoka. I'd prefer someone capable of creating something new than getting too attached to his own personal microcosm. Unfortunately, even EU has become a pigsty where every writer has their own fucking Pet characters. The good things about the EU were very few when all was said and done
>>283413127>Star Wars TheoryTo be fair, butt chin certainly has mental problems and a very small dick. I can't fault him too much for not getting something not meant for 10 years old>In my opinion, it would have been interesting to introduce various groups of Force users who are not Jedi and are less powerfulIt was one of the most interesting aspects in The Village Bride and even Andor, despite very brief. Hell, as you say it's one of the most interesting aspects Star Wars has to offer and it doesn't need to revolve around only Jedis and Siths
>>283391684>First ep was good despite the downgrade in visuals and use of cgiwhat are you talking about, it's the same as the first one from the first season
>>283395429That's because the B team did this episode as the A team works on the proper show
>>283413370> A team works on the proper showWait, what?
PLANETOF VISIONSPLANETOF VISIONS
>>283413370What are you talking about? Production IG? And what show? Kaiju no.8? Their "A" team isn't working on that either.
>>283411549she probably smells though
>>283413624>>283414254https://thedirect.com/article/disney-plus-star-wars-sequel-poster"As mentioned, after "The Ninth Jedi" was released, many fans wanted to see more of Kara and her story. Fortunately for them, it was announced at Star Wars Celebration in Japan that "The Ninth Jedi" would be continuing in the form of a spin-off series titled The Ninth Jedi.The show is expected to be released in 2026 and will directly continue the story of "The Ninth Jedi" from Star Wars: Visions." It's going to become it's own animated series, which is awesome because I love it's setting
>>283391803I hate this. Star Wars is about wars in the stars. It needs ships, blasters, mecha, stormtroopers, all that stuff. Jedi were just one small facet of the OT.
>>283391701It was the best one, F is best girl.
>>283414744Let me tell you about A-wings.The A-wing is so bad its propensity for being the fastest coffin money can buy survived a canon revamp through sheer will.The A-wing, or "How to look cool and die fast" is what happens when a Kuat engineer sneaks into the back of Sienar systems to see the assembly of the first TIE Interceptor and thinks “a cheap fast and basic starfighter with the survivability of wet paper, great! Let's make it faster, let's make it not cheap, let's make it even faster, AND let's make it without the numbers that TIEs are built around" and his Rebel friend, hearing all this, decides "Yeah we ain’t got Empire pilot numbers but I sure do like going fucking FAST!”Fast but not easy, you're basically flying two engines strapped to your dick when it just saw two twi’leks kissing. In a navy that is full of "I'm the best pilot ever but fuck discipline" jocks there's only one way to compensate for the missing inches of limp-dicked decent piloting and "well I can fly an A-wing and not die" is there for people who have a hopelessly high rate of optimism and a will already written.The most famous victory of an A-wing pilot is driving himself into the bridge of a Star Destroyer. This is actually remarkable as it did come at the end of the war between the Empire and the Rebel alliance, since it is frankly fucking AMAZING A-wing pilots survived this long. In the new canon they are given a fresh introduction, and promptly do nothing but fucking explode.A-wings are the thinking man's suicide note. In a desperate struggle to be the slickest spacer this side of Duros young hotshots sign up for a one-way ticket into either ploughing into the fucking ground, being the first into the fray and into the fire in the wet tissue paper tiger, and just generally being the coolest guy in the dogfight because they're already exposed to the vacuum of space.
>>283414846Yeah and I wouldn't fly anything else.
>>283414573Well, they don't say what studio is making it anywhere. Most of IG is working on films right now (Kaiju no.8 film and Shinkai's film with CoMix Wave). A lot of their TV staff should be good to go after Kaiju no.8 S2 though, so maybe that's what they're working on.
>>283413225It is going to be up to him, because he is the only one left.The clone wars was good when it wasn't all up to him, rebels kinda suck because it's just a wank. SW was never warhammer where it's community built, so people have different interpretations on what happened, like the stormtroopers can't aim meme. It's a huge issue that most writers just pick the parts they like.>>283413239Force sensitive sharpshooters were briefly mentioned, but I don't think Disney would allow anyone to invent new things or actually do anything but jedi/rebel/smuggler mc. I don't think they would even allow a sith/empire prespective without mandating a turn to the light side.
>>283414981Looks comfy. Would be a bitch to live there, but a comfy bitch
>>283415096>SW was never warhammer where it's community builtmaybe under disney, newfag. Star wars had the Expanded universe which was entirely community built.
>>283413366Unless they made the entire season the first time it's most likely not the same.And maybe the assets are the same, but it looks choppier with polygons more visible. I've rewatched s1 recently and this one definitely looks worse.
mating press F
>>283415189Those robot legs would crush you like a tin can anon
This scene, from the beginning until the duel with the wannebe Jedi on the upside-down AT-AT, was absolutely fantastic.
>>283414846If you are good pilot you would want a TIE interceptor, really the only drawback is the lack of shields, but just don't get hit. And with the interceptor that is a valid strategy. I'd fly a TIE any day over the alliance crafts.
>>283415573>no shields>armor is only marginally better than a standard tie>can't bug out with hyperspace
>>283415033no, they're working on kinnikuman
>>283415622The joke is that the average x-wing has more firepower, more shields and armor, has an array of back up systems and pressurized cockpit, with a droid to provide assistance and it still loses 1v1 against a semi competent TIE pilot because if the TIE doesn't do a head on, the x-wing wont br able to get guns on him or shake him off. The basic TIE is an excellent space superiority fighter and the interceptor is even better. The x-wing tries to do too many things, like most alliance crafts and ends up being expensive and not very good at anything.
>>283415796>it still loses 1v1 against a semi competent TIE pilot because if the TIE doesn't do a head on, the x-wing wont br able to get guns on him or shake him off.That's because they are almost always deployed in huge numbers, if you escape from one you'll immediately run into a bunch of others, which is exactly the empire's strategy. The U-wing is the best all purpose ship anyway
>>283415189where'd you find this?
>>283414800I'm tempted to watch her episodes
>>283415573>shit goes sideways>mothership is destroyed or jumps awayAnd this is why I'll take a hyperdrive equipped ship any day.
>>283386128S2 was also pretty weak compared to season 1
>>283416208Agree, but I thought it had more peaks, but less higher than season 1
>>283391803There aren't many things more iconic about StarWars then Jedi/Sith and lightsabers.
>>283416232>>283416021Any cute sith girls actually doing sith things?
>>283391803I don't think episode five had any Jedi in it It felt like the reveal of that kid is Force sensitive, but the stuff about his parents just being Smugglers felt like a purposeful anti-climaxEpisode two didn't need one, felt like a pointless inclusion in that story,
>>283416293The Duel: Payback has a new Sith girl around.
>>283400620Is that blaster based on an MP40?
>>283406640nah, Guinnies kinda like it first, he just hated that he was basically only known for Star Wars after it came out.
Bird of Paradise, by Polygon, was a very good use of 3D, and a fairly good self-contained story.
>>283416293There's one, technically two in Bird of Paradise.
>>283416415Do they actually do things like kill Jedi and further the goals of the empire? Or do they just be tsundere and morally agnostic
>>283415912It's becase the TIE is faster, accelerates faster and can turn tighter. The empire just correctly realizes that they are even better in numbers since they can rotate fast essentially always having someone attacking the x-wing. But it's not a matter of numbers, in fact you would need more x-wings to evenly match the base TIE in a dogfight.
>>283413225He is too attached to all his characters, he is a writer who never learned to kill his Darlings
>>283415096Gendy Clone Wars was better
>>283416232The Aardman episode and the Cartoon Saloon one were good
>>283406640Alec Guinness didn't take it too seriously, but appreciated how pure and straightforward it was. What he hated was what Star Wars became and the obsessive fandom around it.
>>283416021Do it, she fights Griffith now.
>>283416400genndy could have and should have taken the reigns of the animation studio, fucking george, all he had to do was let the guy do a film or two to keep him happy
>>283416526The best one was Screecher's Reach for me. Just perfectly unsettling.>AardmanThey always produce peak
>>283416585Genndy is just cursed, hopefully he gets his Black Knight film out, but I'm not sure after how badly Fixed did for Netflix.
>>283416611Screechers Reach was the Cartoon Saloon produced one, they also produced Secret of the Kells and Wolf Walkers films.
>>283416442He doesn't even have to kill them, just make them disappear. Why the hell do I have these characters on Ahsoka TV that I don't know shit about? Why does it feel like a new season of a really old show I haven't seen? Yeah, yeah, I got what I deserved by watching a Disney show. The problem was same with The Mandalorian, which started out well for the first season , but then got filled with other Filoni characters who really shouldn't be there.
>>283416439Nah, the tie has shit viability, shit durability and such a shit amount of fuel it needs it's wings to compensate a little for it.
>>283416649Ahhh, sorry my bad, I didn't check the studio name. Yeah, it was fucking great
>>283416720Ashoka even had a decent enough send off but they just keep bringing her back
Another great Visions batch, as usual.
>>283416426They use red lightsabers and laugh while they cut you up.
>>283417077I mean the last batch was pretty crap, this is a upswing so we're 2 and 1 so not an awful record but I wouldn't call it as usual
GRIFSIIIIIIIIITH!!
WAIT!There is a Session 2?
>>283417101>They use red lightsabers and laugh while they cut you upGood enough for me.
>>283416737What are you even trying to say? Most other small craft are not much more durable than the TIEs, not that it matters when the the TIE can get benind them.
>>283417171It was handled by "western" creators so you can imagine how that went
>>283417171it was honestly decent, though the Aardman episode was by far the best
>>283417171Screecher's Reach was fenomenal
>>283417449I think the only bad ones were the first episode with the former sith who became a painter, and the one with the black miners.
>>283391803>I want to watch 30 episodes about boring stormtrooper struggles and feelings >I want to watch 30 episodes of [mundane shit] with [mundane people] but in Star Wars Star Wars is the universe that doesn't even explain how basic technology in official media. It's al about adventure, space mages and cool space battles. Bring me good old days of Sith Lords and sexy sith girls not your Andor shit.
My hot take: the Ronin episodes are not that good and just critic bait. Everyone knows the West hates traditional animation and making it in 3D and in black & white makes pretentious people parrot good things about the Kurosawa movies they didn't even saw.
>>283417751Based schizo
>>283417697Yeah, it's basically fantasy in space. There's a reason the original movie was about a knight saving a princess. It being knights and magic is the whole draw. There's lots of alternatives if you want more "proper" sci fi
>>283416720Skeleton Crew was decent and self-contained.
the trigger episode was kind of weak but I did like the female bounty hunter male prince thing
>>283417841Also the girls were cute.
>>283417688The one about the two sisters on the planet was one I really disliked, mostly due to bad voice acting, well animated however.
>>283385185>zoomers never bought inZoomers liked both the prequels and OTOnly sunk cost fags like sequels though.The 3d clone wars show was a really mixed bag that really got bad by the end with the clone chips and shit
>>283412757>Star Wars worldbuilding is way too fucking shallow and incoherent to make any interesting stories that don't revolve around the themes of the main moviesI disagree otherwise people wouldn't like shit like Republic Commando. I have been really sick of Jedi slop personally and its why I hate the disney shit so much. In the OT the Jedi were there but were arguably not the most decisive factor in the war, in the Prequels we caught a glimpse of their decline/hubris, but
>>283417697>wants to bring back the good old days of Sith Lords and sexy sith girls>posts image from a book series that is 10% Jedi and 90% fleet battles and galactic geostrategy
>>283416482I don't think they're super comparable. Genndy Wars is hyper focused on stylish action, which has always Genndy's greatest skill. TCW is an episodic series in the classic fashion and it does a lot of different things across its run. They're not directly competing in my mind. Like pitting Jedi Outcast against Battlefront.
Little F was cute. She seems like she was a brat. Wasn't expecting her to have robo legs though. Kind of funny when I remember people criticism her shoes last time.
>>283417890>Republic CommandoBecause it's a game. SWAT 4 is cool to play but watching SWAT show? Unless it's something like Raid or Dredd maybe.
>>283385005>WHY ISN'T THERE A THREAD ABOUT WESTERN GOYSLOP ON /a/?!End your life, OP.
>>283418064a short film made by people like Shinya Ohira is considered /co/ now?
>>283418075It was also a popular book series back in the day
>>283417877Chips were fine unless you were heavily invested in the Battlefront 2 depiction of things, which I won't deny had its merits. It's a wash for me. The only problem with late TCW was that fucking retarded arc with those stupid latina sisters. Bad Batch (the arc, not the series) was fine and the Siege of Mandalore was great.
>>283416628After Unicorn Warriors, I just can't fully trust Genndy's vision anymore
>>283417864and funny!
>>283416001wookiepedia
>>283418375Wookiee has two Es. Do not make that mistake again.
i liked her episode
>>283418422The mascot character didn't need Force powers
>>283418408Or else?
>>283418120It doesn't look like their isekaisloppa with slave elf wives and status screens.
Was there any clone wars kino?
>>283418439sure but at least they didn't make the whole episode around that
>>283418532true, but it does make it feel like a very superfluous to the point of being unnessry outside of 5 seconds of drama in the climax.
Anyone else remember The Wildlife of Star Wars: A Field Guide?I loved the shit out of it when I was a kid, and it pisses me off that they never made more like it
>>283417892NJO was at least 50% Jedi stuff, 50% war/politics/Vong shenanigans.The fact that it was well-rounded helped make it one of the best EU series and my personal favorite.
>>283418055Was her episode the one that mentioned Master Yoda in the flashbacks?
>>283418640yes
>>283418640It also started with a Back to the Future reference.
>>283385005bro what the fuck was that last episodeam I tripping
>>283418223Chips are dogshit because it means that whenever clones disobeyed the order it means their chip had to be damaged or removed and that is a retarded requirement. I didn't like anything in the last season except the absolute final scene with the imperials. The chip shit is where the show became really dumb in a lot of ways.
>>283414846
>>283416442fucking ahsoka and to a lesser extent rexlike, she should have died in the clone warsoh she didn't, okay whatevershe DID die in rebels. then they used magic wolf based time travel magic to revive her. what the shit filoni of course the other problem with filoni is that he's a wolf furfag
Mind Trick is evil powerGrey jedi exist
>>283419056You'd think having her die or something would go a long way to justify why Anakin would turn on the Jedi
>>283385005>season 3what the hell was season 2?
>>283419123S2 is anime ja nai.
>>283385005>Disney CanonYep, I’m going back to Legends.
>>283418910Nta but there's absolutely no way any of those clones would've followed that order unless they were mind controlled to do so. The 08 clone wars gave them alot of individuality/personality and their relationship with their jedi generals was way too good for it to be believable that the clones would turn on them mid-battle.
>>283419193That's kind of an issue in itself. The clones really shouldn't have been so personable. Man, I miss the days before even the PT when the idea of what the clone wars were was left completely vague. I'm sure a lot of old fags had an idea what they meant but it certainly wasn't what we got.
>The Duel Episode 2it was okay, I honestly didn't like the first episode either but I did like the new twilek girl. some people will like it but I do not >Song of 4 Wingsfelt more trigger than the trigger ep. That said, it was 3dcg and okay at best. Mecha Musume xwing is a funny idea but they didn't really lean into it that much >The Bounty Hunterhonestly solid, no notes. I just liked it >Ninth Jedi 2don't like the artstyle change or the use of CG, this felt like a filler episode in the first season. Which makes sense, they are making a full season and the pilot was the season 1 episode. I'll probably watch the show but I'm disappointed by the change in style>Yuko's treasureit's the kiddie episode. Like, what are going to do. Stuffed bear darth vader was pretty funny, it was pretty cute all around. Apparantly the kid is a girl in japanese but they made the kid a boy in english? Also, overall the subtitles are dubtitles which are annoying but it's generally okay >the Lost Ones (the village bride part 2)not as introspective and beautiful as the first episode, but still absolutely solid. definitely top 3 of the season. I liked it a lot >The Smugglerthe trigger episode. I mean, it's a solid episode but it doesn't feel... triggery. idk I'm dissapointed even though on it's own merits it's fine>The Bird of Paradiseit's the standard "tempted by the dark" padawan story but honestly it's solid. 3dcg so that holds it back but I feel it was done adequately. Honestly I enjoyed it>Blackthis one's a fucking acid trip. Pure animation. Technically it's a spectacle but I have no fucking clue what I just watched
>>283419168This is Legends, bro.
>>283419256>not as introspective and beautiful as the first episode, but still absolutely solid. definitely top 3 of the season. I liked it a lotF did a lot of her soul searching last time so seeing her being more friendly out the gate was actually pretty nice. I'd have liked to see more time with her "teaching" the younglins or reflecting on her master but it's 20 minutes so what can you do. I defiantly think there's potential here for a series of it's own, or maybe a movie.
there was a season 2?
>>283419562yes but it was dogshitdisney saw that people like season 1 and gave season 2 to a bunch of non-japanese studios, for some fucking reason. Every episode was done by a team in a different country it was aggressively bad. Like, the british one was claymation which was cute, I guessthere were maybe 2 good episodes
The bounty hunter voiced by Fairouz Ai was hot, I want more of her.
>>283419734Also really hard not to notice them pushing the force is female mandate. Not a single male main character throughout all of season 2. Still were probably 3 episodes I liked but the rest were aggressively awful.
>>283419931this was the height of disney thinking the chuds had lost forever... for some reason
>>283414800Kinda grim, even as an F fan.
>>283418698
>>283417171Season 2 was universally ignored because Disney decided to only have one anime studio make a short, as if that's not the sole appeal of these fucking things.
F sexo
>>283420053And the one Japan studio in S2 wasn't even what you would call an anime studio, they just work there and made the one about the slave miners together with Lucasfilm. Though the Korean one looked anime enough and was decent imo.
>>283419931>>283419973Which was especially galling when pretty much all of the heroines in S1 were easily the most liked characters simply because they weren't so focused on pushing something and just made decent stories. Seriously did anyone remember The Elder? Akakiri? No. Of course suits will still like to scapegoat us for not liking Ray.
>>283420712how does she eat
>>283415313>>283415189I was not expecting F to be so mechanical. Both legs, and maybe one arm, were fully robotic. Her episode was beautiful though and I'm glad we got to see her finish her character arc.
>>283421051>You will never backpack F
Best I can guess what's happing in the last episode is a stormtrooper dying on Hoth and seeing his life pass before his eyes
>>283421051All I wanted was for her to have a fucked up mouth to justify that huge mask. I didn't want her to be girl Vader!
>>283421592Was really kind of expecting a Malak kind of situation when I first saw the mask.
>>283418223Chips didn't even make sense within just the clone wars, there is an episode where the clones fight a corrup jedi. Chips were clearly added so they could get a free pass.
>>283421051I think she lost an arm in the duel with her master, but who knows
>>283416563Just watched, the first episode didn't really do it for me but I did enjoy the second one.
>>283422750She got her legs and an arm lopped off.
>>283422777Yeah, but the legs seemed to be mechanical already, I the only organic body part she lost was an arm
>>283416293imagine>sith gf
>>283422755cute brat.
>>283419931>>283419973>>283420128>"I don't stinky girls in my Star Wars! Only real, masculine, attractive men! No, I'm not gay! Girls just suck and dicks are way better!!!"
>>283385005No one really cares about Shit Wars anymore.Even less to about Star Wrs, but set in japan.
>>283419193If there were multiple Pong Krell jedi that fucked up child clones on Kamino that could have been an excuse.
>>283419256The Duel and its Sequel are not here for the story. They're deliberately two short episodes of 15-20 minutes, where they've put everything into the cinematography, the quality of the direction, and the beauty of some sequences.It saddens me to see people who are not capable of appreciating these things.
I want to fuck Mission.
>>283423069I will never stop loving something I did just because later hacks came around and made a shit fanfic. And I'm not gonna kick anything half decent out of bed. Side related. Read the KOTOR comic.
>>283421694If I had to guess, that was the plan and then it got vetoed by Disney. There's no reason to give her a mask for a tiny little face cut.
>>283423311That's possible, but I think it was mostly due to the mask removal needing to be scenic. Like, if F had a bandaid on the scar and removed it in the climax it would have looked kinda ridiculous. Plus in the episode she's seemingly trying to attract as little attention to her identity as possible, mask and hood help with that
>>283423311>I had to guess, that was the plan and then it got vetoed by Disney.IMAO, no. There was never any intention to make her horribly disfigured, this is a fetish fantasy all your own. It's the same thing they did with the female bounty hunter and the killer robot episode in S3. The mask simply represents a state of mind. It's very similar to the silly, clichéd "i cut my hair because this is a new me" that "summarize" a character's change. These are often clumsy methods of telling the viewer that the character has changed, but they have now become well-known Tropes.
Crazy how many jedi just keep popping up, almost like they weren't actually wiped out by the empire.
>>283418600>spoilerMe too. It was uneven but I unironically think it is one of the best parts of the franchise.
>>283423952Yeah, Vader did really a poor job. These fucking rats are everywhere.
>>283424232Me on the right
>>283423585You don't know anything either
>>283423026We had hot girls in legends you complete faggot
>>283424306There's no sketch or concept art with the girl jedi horribly disfigured. Don't make up bullshit just because you like imagining her that way. You freak.
>>283423952>>283424232There were no systematic extermination of the jedi, it was merely a consequence of the war, other demographics have suffered too.
>>283424377The next step is to say that the extermination of the Jedi never happened.
>>283423952>>283424232To be fair, a galaxy is pretty big, even with iperspace travel. A handful of shitty Jedi surviving isn't much
>>283400620>>283403279It's weird we didn't get twilek anime girls first time
>>283424444Disney doesn't like them
>>283424413Even if it happened, the jedi were kinda asking for it.>special rights to just kidnap children>special rights to carry weapon anywhere>exempt from the law, can just break into your house and kill you>unrestricted use of powers, maybe they are mind controlling the politicians>when the war broke out they immediately got into leadership positions, without prior experience that got lots of people killed>when the war ended they tried to grab power
>>283391803Just like how Gundam needs humanoid mechas and space magic.
>>283425280It needs the mechs, but it doesn't need the space magic of Newtypes.
>>283424027It had high high points and those high points were thankfully at the most important parts. A good ending does wonders for any long series.
>>283424027Nice pic.Thinking about the EU, the new trilogy would have been better set 200 years after the events of the OT. The EU is canon, but irrelevant to the new setting, so people could enjoy a fresh start. Luke could easily have still been around, and his exile would have made even more sense, given that he rebuilt the Jedi and his presence now only bothers the young ones, who have to stand on their own two feet.
>>283424420I think even accounting for Canon only sources it 500+ Jedi post-purge running around which is a rather large amount of named characters
>>283425571The goal was to remake star wars for the modern audience.
>>283424420Star Wars isn't that big, sure they throw around big numbers, but you can travel around the galaxy in a matter of days, most planets are named and only have a fes settlements. It's possible to hide, but not for that many.
>>283426250Allegedly 500 hundreds Jedi hiding in billion of systems? Yeah, sure
>>283426145Every old franchise wants to remake itself for 'modern audiences.' I'm still not sure what that phrase means or whether it's ever been done successfully.
>>283385005No cute bnuuy or cool mecha=no cate
>>283385005Interest really fell off since season 2 was mostly western studies no one cares about, and this season has barely had any marketing by Disney
>>283426430It's goycattle that just consumes. Doesn't exist yet, so they make the slop to see who bites. Everyone else is a racist or something. They say this all the time on their own forums, the media just won't report on it for some reason.
>>283419256Black was the final throes within the mind of a random stormtrooper as he dies. His life flashing before his eyes, and the hallucinations, dreams, and time dilation flowing through his brain in its final moments before cutting to Black. It's death. It's also a piece that shines a light upon the fact that every person who perished aboard the Death Star was a unique and individual life. Every single one with their own thoughts, memories, and dreams. It humanizes the random mooks, and serves secondarily as a spotlight on the horrors of war.
>>283427405what was with the Red and Green Stormtroopers?Was it meant to be the two sides of the Stormtroopers' brain fighting each other?
>>283426441>that>cute
>>283424444their head things are too weird
>>283398428Agreed>>283427673Nigger
>>283427457yeah
Imagine
>>283428505Is he floating on top of a flower bed here?
>>283428505In all of Star Wars I think I've seen ONE Jedi smart enough to at least wear arm guards. And he was kind of a bad jedi.
>>283429043its a crutch for weak bitch jedi
>>283429071Right? HIGH FIVE! oh wait.
>>283429043Body armor is, like, against the will of the Force or something.
>>283429431I think it's more Jedi are not pragmatic and don't want to resort to violence unless absolutely necessary and wearing armour shows you're expecting a fight
>>283429509Old Republic stuff shows us a lot of Jedi wearing armour. Looks like by the time Sheeve came around it came completely out of fashion.
>>283429973tbf it had been 1,000 years since the last big war
>>283429973They had personnel Dune style shields too during Old Republic times. Lost tech
