Filoni fatigue is all in your head.

Each Tales project, Bad Batch, and the new Maul show should have all been consolidated into one anthology series called Tales from the Galaxy. Some seasons are short stories of a couple episodes, some seasons are long projects like Bad Batch or Maul.
Trying to spread them out as if they are all different series, despite always having the same animation, writing style, and tone, makes everything feel both bloated and schizophrenic when in reality we actually just have one big ongoing cartoon that happens to jump around perspectives and time periods

I am unironically looking forward to the Maul cartoon even though I'm sure it'll be bad. I'm ready to be hurt by Star Wars again.

>>151961258
>fatigue is all on your head, buuuuut…
>proceeds to list a ton of fatiguing things

>>151962035
My point is that it's all the same show with different titles. We have one ongoing cartoon that gets 8-12 episodes a year which only seems like a lot when you give each season it's own title on Disney plus

>>151960841
Can anyone tell what the fucking point was to retcon Maul as being alive in Clone Wars, just to kill him off in Rebels and tease something with in Solo even though he had already been killed off again?

>>151962210
Solo was set before Rebels, he didn't come back from the dead again. Obi-Wan offing him is still his canon ending as far as I'm aware.

>>151962210
Solo was before Rebels.
They wanted to close off his established relationship arc with Kenobi in Rebels but leave enough of a vague time gap that you can fill it with whatever story you want

Excited for Ahsoka season 2.

Unless it's Son of Dathomir then I'm just not interested.

>>151961975
animated content seems to be the only solid medium for sw anymore. Like, even if we get another Resistance-tier show it feels easier to ignore than another live action bullshit they put out. Mainly because their live actions are treated like big events and the force the internet with fake discussion to promote it, while animated gets put out then quietly closed

>>151962269
>>151962271
But why tease him in Solo at all? If he was already killed off in Rebels, what point was there in implying there is yet another story to be told about him?

>>151962409
>>151962210
to answer your actual question,
content bait. it's as simple as that.

>>151962409
If Solo was actually financially successful he was probably going to be a major antagonist. Since that didn't happen, we are now filling that gap with Shadow Lord

He's just a fan favorite and we knew there was some story to tell that puts him in position for Rebels. You're overthinking it.

Sorry, you can't convince me to not like Filoni, and you can't convince me to not like Ahaoka. The only padawan of Anakin is the perfect character to take the mantle of overarching protagonist during this era of releases.

>>151962210
Blame Kennedy for throwing out George's Sequel outlines where Maul was going to be the main villain as a crime kingpin threatening the New Republic.

I wanted to read some Star Wars comics, but I fucking hate all the four eyed green skinned mohawk having random aliens that populate the setting. Recommend me books that don't have these wastes of ink. Like Darth Vader and the Lost Command etc

>>151964134
>Blame Kennedy for throwing out George's Sequel outlines
I blame JJ for that one more than Kennedy. And JJ only did it because Simon Pegg told him to because JJ hired him as his creative consultant for TFA. Pegg convinced him he was super knowledgeable from working on their Star Trek flicks and got it into JJ's head that he knew more than Geroge fucking Lucas himself.

Acolyte and Ahsoka are questionable but claiming THR was bad says it all

>>151964666
I still don't know if Dawson was a miscast or if she's just directed weird.

>>151964843
It wouldn't make sense considering Filoni was involved. He'd know how Ahsoka should act even post Rebels. But she's like that even in The Mandalorian with how wooden Dawson is. I think just casting an obviously black actress was the wrong move. Made worse by getting lazy on her montrals & lekku. If it was difficult to do for action... then just CG them.

>>151964806
>but claiming THR was bad says it all
This, so much this. Geode is my favorite star wars character of all time. Haters just want to make others miserable.

>>151964705
Most of season 3 of Visions was good, and season 2 had some decent high points

>>151960841
>We used to have a really good Star Wars general
No, we did not.

>>151964705
>>151964993
The problems with seasons 1 & 3 of Visions is the official releases only use dub titles. So you have to watch with the english dub.

>>151964900
You make a good point but Filoni is also a noticably poor director, so if everybody in the room is taking his word on how Dawson should be acting, and she's being directed poorly because of that, the character portrayal will suffer

>>151964919
He literally shows up twice in the 12+ books. This is what I mean when I say you fell for ragebait.

>>151965124
It's very possible. Maybe he's like Kojima or heck like George where he needs someone else to bounce ideas off of.

>>151964134
>>151964593
George's ideas would have been bad too. Stop pretending the prequels are good.

>>151962409
I think you're misinterpreting a simple cameo as a "tease". IIRC, they gave the directors a short list of who *could* be there, and they jumped at a chance to have Maul in it.

>>151965153
George's ideas aren't the problem. It's his directing. He doesn't know how to have people talk or act like people.

>>151965153
>George's ideas would have been bad too
We already know his ideas are great and are far superior to what JJ and Rain cooked up.

>Stop pretending the prequels are good.
I don't have to pretend. The prequels are excellent films. They're high art compared to JJ and Rain's garbage flicks.

>>151965203
The prequels are riddled with Plot Holes and narrative issues. AOTC is by far the best example of how George's ideas are a clunky mess if another competent writer isn't there to tard wrangle him.

Yeah he did. And Ahsoka was created before the Disney buyout and Canon split, so she exists in both continuities. Cry more.

>>151965260
I'm willing to bet you're definitely saying that as a blanket statement & thinking how the assassination plot "doesn't make sense". Everyone's being manipulated by Palpatine. Dooku is manipulating Obi-Wan. It's not hard to understand.

No anon it goes far beyond that, just saying Palpatine is pulling strings isn't an explanation, it's essentially admitting the entire cast is too fucking stupid to see through Palpatine's plans which are obvious. Let's also not forget that the assassination is being done for Nute Gunray a man who would literally benefit from Padme's proposal to not form a Republic Army. Palps had nothing to do with that shit.

I'm incredibly excited that we are diving back into the old republic.

I liked the High Republic but the slow rollout of the era was unfortunate. Back to back RPGs for the old republic means we are going headfirst into the deep end. It's so exciting.

>>151965400
Tbh we kinda have all the important parts of his life covered

It feels like they are giving us more tcw style content to arbitrarily fill gaps rather than wait until there's a story to tell

Tales of the Jedi and Empire are especially guilty of this

>>151965323
Yes. Jar Jar Binks was unironically good. A classic use of a Shakespearean fool who through good intentions ultimately sets in motion the means for Sheev to dismantle the Republic.

Just because it's obvious to the audience doesn't mean it's obvious to the characters.

Except it wouldn't and it wasn't done for Gunray.
>Palps had nothing to do with that shit.
He absolutely did. Padme was the lead on opposing the creation of an army to avert war with the Separatists. Sheev needed the war so that he could be elected emergency powers so that he could eventually use that to legally reform the Republic into the Empire. Nute Gunray had no idea that Dooku was 100% intent on declaring war with the Republic because it was Sheev's plan for them to have always done so. He just thought they were gonna use the Droid army for leverage so that the Republic would give into the Separatists' demands.

Thank god there's a thread for SW comics, since I recently finished Darth Vader vol 3 and my question is, what happened to Sabe? She was last seen meeting Leia, and that's all? Hell I was hoping some sort of epilogue with Luke and Leia finally getting to know Padme through her.

>>151965909
>Just because it's obvious to the audience doesn't mean it's obvious to the characters.
The Jedi Council given the limited information they have can still deduce that the person behind the clone army and seperatist movement are one in the same. That alone would kill Palp's plans to purge the order.
>Except it wouldn't and it wasn't done for Gunray
Gumray specifically demands that Padme be assassinated before he allows the TF to join the seperatist movement. Dooku's commissioning of Jango only happens because he needs to orchestrate Padme's death to get TF to supply their droids. It doesn't fucking matter what Palp's plans are when he requires other's resources. It is fucking stupid that Nute would even think about joining the Seperatists if it hinged on killing the one person that would make it hardest to secede without consequence.

>>151966495
>behind the clone army and seperatist movement are one in the same
Except they're not? They're told by Jango Fett that he was hired by Tyrannus and they're told by Lama Su that the army was commissioned by Sifo Dyas on the behalf of the Republic. In no way are they clued in that Dooku had a hand in the GAR's commission because they didn't know that Tyrannus = Dooku.
>Gumray specifically demands that Padme be assassinated before he allows the TF to join the seperatist movemen
After rewatching the scene, I stand corrected on that.
> Dooku's commissioning of Jango only happens because he needs to orchestrate Padme's death to get TF to supply their droids
And to have Padme stop being a pest in the Senate, which was far more a concern.
>It doesn't fucking matter what Palp's plans are when he requires other's resources.
Plaps plans are the only ones that matter when it isn't Dooku being a Sith apprentice and trying to set himself up to succeed in the future.
>It is fucking stupid that Nute would even think about joining the Seperatists if it hinged on killing the one person that would make it hardest to secede without consequence.
Nute Gunray is expendable. If they needed the Trade Federation that badly then they could've killed him as well and replaced him with someone more malleable. Such is well within their power.

At the end of the day, Gunray didn't matter. They tried to assasinate Padme because of the problem she presented to Sheev's interests with the Senate.

>>151966675
>in no way are they clued in that Dooku had a hand in the GAR's commission
The Jedi don't need to know that to put the peices together. By the end of the film they know these facts about the clone army.
>It was commissioned by a Jedi who mysteriously died 10 years ago immediately after commissioning the clones.
>It was commissioned on behalf of the Republic despite no one in the senate knowing of its creation.
>The homeworld of the cloners was removed from the Jedi archives the same timeframe the clones were commissioned.
>Dooku left the Order the same exact timeframe, had the access to the Jedi Archives to erase Kamino and had the funds to actually pay for the commission as he's a Count.
>the clones are based on the individual attempting to assassinate the one politician opposed to commissioning an army.
>the person the clones are based on is working for Dooku and the Seperatist movement.
Those red flags are so fucking huge and put together there is no way the Jedi would trust using the Clone army in any circumstance.

>Nute Gunray is expendable. If they needed the Trade Federation that badly then they could've killed him as well and replaced him with someone more malleable
Again you are missing the forest for the trees. Palpatine still needs to convince people join the seperatist movement on their own accord. He can't just have them all forced in a pact by force because not only does that make the movement an unstable mess that will crumble immediately it also means Dooku and Palpatine are too connected to the movement for their paper trail to not come to light. You can't argue Palpatine is this great manipulator and then in the same breath say his manipulations don't matter.

>>151966795

Yes.

Yes.
>The homeworld of the cloners was removed from the Jedi archives the same timeframe the clones were commissioned.
They don't actually know that because nobody there even knew of Kamino in the first place. Even Jocasta Nu, the keeper of the Jedi Archives, didn't and she was so far up her ass about it that she actually thought Kamino didn't exist because it wasn't in the archives.
>Dooku left the Order the same exact timeframe, had the access to the Jedi Archives to erase Kamino and had the funds to actually pay for the commission as he's a Count.
Not at the time of it's commission. But Dooku obviously must've handled the latter installments given that he was still a Jedi Knight when the order was placed. Which would mean he'd have no access to his biological family's fortune yet.
>the clones are based on the individual attempting to assassinate the one politician opposed to commissioning an army.
Yes.
>the person the clones are based on is working for Dooku and the Seperatist movement.
Yes.
>Those red flags are so fucking huge and put together there is no way the Jedi would trust using the Clone army in any circumstance.
Not really. Though they might've been able to put it together had they had the time to further investigate, which they didn't because they were conscripted by the Senate into fighting the war.
>Palpatine still needs to convince people join the seperatist movement on their own accord. He can't just have them all forced in a pact by force
You don't need to use force. It's not like they'd kill Gunray in plain sight. By replacing him with someone more malleable can also mean someone who can be more easily manipulated. So to be more plain, the could quietly kill him and replace him with someone dumber who to happily opt in.
