Asking again what you would like to see from the new saga and how it should differentiate from the Skywalker Saga
>dave filoni's movie (which got put on the backburner) may possibly become a series instead if the mandalorian and grogu flopsit is your DUTY to NOT watch the mandalorian and grogu
>>152295514Fuck that noise, the last thing we need is another Obi Wan Kenobi on our hands where a potentially strong narrative stretches its budget and scripts too thin. Plus I'm not risking the future of Star wars films out of spite for filoni. I'm too invested in eventually getting Hunt for Ben Solo
>>152295731>>152295514Daniel RPK rumor btw Totally baseless. Though I do wonder how they plan to cancel a movie that was clearly what they were building up toward
>>152295953end it with a novel like all failed projects
>>152295991Or a 4 issue comic book
Throwback Wednesday
>>152295170>Explore new force orders>Include a new villanous faction that is neither an authoritarian regime nor dark side users>Feature the Jedi Order in general as protagonists, not center it in a single figure>Set it long after the sequels, since you're just gonna repeat the reconstruction of the Republic if not>One project with an alien main character would be a nice change of paceJust some quick random thoughts
>>152295514But I like Baby Yeed :(
>>152295083How does the lightwhip work?
>>152297442It stiffens and loosens at the users discretion. Invented in the Old Republic era to combat the Siths unpredictable lightsaber forms
>>152295083>okay anon, point out on the doll where the good books touched you.
>>152298669It's crazy that they try to stuff books like Splinter of the Minds Eye in there.
>>152298857What was wrong with it?
>>152298912Just jarringly inconsistent with the rest of the lore
>>152297137What kinda alien would make for a good protagonist? I like Trandoshans, Karkarodons, and Shistavanens but I admit it would be hard to pull those guys off in live action at least long term. I imagine it would be hell for the poor actor in the suit
>>152297625Nta but I’m guessing it’s based off of a dual phase lightsaber that can change its length
>>152299374An animated project would have no problem with that. For one, I think something starring a Duros could be cool.
>>152296917Giving Max Von Sydow a minute of screentime was TFA's worst offense.
>tales of the underworld nominated for best animated tv series or event at the saturn awardsit's not much, but were any of the other tales nominated for anything?
>>152300137We sorta got that with the Cad Bane stuff in the Tales From series
>>152300345Shit I forgot about that. Though given it was about Bane, something with an alien in a heroic role would work too.
>>152300391Virgin Fett vs. The Chad Bane
>>152300522virgin fett>has a kid>stays with himchad bane>deadbeat dad
>>152300175Yeah seriously what was even the point of that at all
>>152295083Shouldnt..this have been lumiya? The comic character, that introduced the lightwhip?
>>152300054Not ai right?
>>152297625>Invented in the Old Republic era to combat the Siths unpredictable lightsaber formsWell it didn't work Dooku beat Anakin with a lightwhip in 2 moves
>>152301508No way man that's Omar Dogan
>>152298941Yeah, the Luke/Leia romance was more of a thing in the book.
Outjerked
>>152302372Wdym?
So is the Ben Solo movie dead or not? I'm retarded, so help me out.
Sex with F.
>>152303809Not in active development but not outright cancelled. The script is still being kept in case they decide to do it.
>>152303989Awesome, I hope it sees the light of day.
>>152303946I'm more of a Karafag.
>>152303989>>152304048Makes me wonder if they'll integrate Ben into their new Rey stories.
>>152304071Probably since that pairing prints money and birthed a whole genre of romance schlock.
>>152304159One's getting a movie with Daisy Ridley's husband as the male lead. Crazy.
>Disney slop generalThis thread feels like it was made by the marketers. No one actually likes gay High Republic shit, and no one actually gives a single fuck about fucking Ben Solo and Rey Palpatine.
>>152304497Should I read some books from the 80s instead?
>>152304497It many surprise you, I reminisced the good times after a /v/ thread and went to check what people are talking nowadays; not much here but reddit is rather active.Saw people defending The Last Jedi, talking about how JJ squandered the plot threads open by Rian. I was befuddled and I still don't know if it was legitimate or sheer contrarianism.
I just miss Star Wars before Disney came in and shat all over it. That era of Lucasfilm was super interesting, with George clearly pushing the IP into a new direction. I want the unfinished Clone Wars arcs. I want 1313. I want the Darth Maul game. I want Force Unleashed 3. To think all of that was just unceremoniously scrapped and replaced with fucking REBELS and shitty OT rehash by JJ Abrams is mind boggling. Disney Star Wars is so fucking unbelievably lame and gay. Disney Star Wars fans are literal faggots.
As a longtime Star Wars fan, I have to say that Star Wars fans are the most hyperbolic schizos on the internet.
>>152304653Star Wars IRL is more chill.
>>152304653>Star Wars fans are the most hyperbolic schizos on the internet.They're like bitter exes.
>>152304653>I have to say that Star Wars fans are the most hyperbolic schizos on the internetWatch them call you a shill for not screeching into the void about how much you hate the franchise.
Star Wars Theory is a retarded manchild. That is all.
>>152304671I have issues with modern Star Wars, like LOTS of issues, but I'm not gonna act like I'm enlightened for hating the franchise.
>>152304700You hate it or you're a shill, it's that simple to them.
>>152304653I blame influencers.
>>152304721>You hate it or you're a shill, it's that simple to them.Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
What's the point of aping Lucas's Darth Maul/Talon team-up story treatments, if you are not going to make "Talon" a sexy femme fatale?
>>152304764She could still become one in the future.
>>152304764I hope Talon somehow becomes a threat in the next era of Star Wars.
>>1523047721. That's a huge cope. "Could" is doing all the heavy lifting here, as if Disney would ever allow such a thing. We are talking about the company that went out of its way to suppress slave Leia, Ahsoka's S1-S3 appearance and do something as goofy as renaming Slave I.2. Maul is dead in the future. He was killed in Rebels. So, they ape the basic premise, but sanitize it. NuTalon that is going to be with Maul is pink, doesn't have tattoos, and is fully clothed, and resembles nothing of what she was supposed to be in Lucas's story treatments.I mean, I don't think it's going to be Book of Boba Fett levels of bad, but I doubt we are going to see Maul doing actual crime lord shit - spice (drug) dealing, slave trading, etc. He is gonna fight Imperials, who are obviously evil-evil, which makes it okay.
>>152304742Kek.
>>152300054Not pictured: me on the left.
>>1523046371313 was going to be unchartedslop and the unfinished clone wars episodes were poopy compared to season 7

>book of boba fett
>>152305429Go back to xitter.
>>152297137>Set it long after the sequels, since you're just gonna repeat the reconstruction of the Republic if notThat's probably the Ninth Jedi anime if it's canon.
>>152305383But I'm right
>>152295514Do people in these threads actually post and consume Disney wars? Figured this was a thread for euchads
>>152304653
>>152305508I'm an EUchad but I don't know how many times I'm expected to read the Darth Bane trilogy before I start catching up with new content
>>152305370Yeah but no one cares about the books
>>152305446Haven't seen Visiones yet but as far as I know, the show exists on a nebulous "maybe canon, maybe not" area.
>>152305446>>152306949Most of it is pretty explicitly not canon, including ninth Jedi.Id have loved if the new full series was set in the main continuity but I understand lucasfilm not wanting to give an entire future era to a studio that should prioritize artistic vision
>>152306931>picture of the sith>in the book called secrets of the sith>people will still argue ventress wasn't one
>>152307642I mean, they squeezed Savage Oppress in there but he didn't learn a single sith teaching from maul
Dooku tapped this, didn't he?
>>152307642>people will still argue ventress wasn't oneShe wasn't. She was never appointed as a Sith. She was Assajj Ventress, not Darth (insert funny name). Ventress was never a Sith just like Ahsoka was never a Jedi.
>>152307642It's pretty much always been a distinction without a difference.
>>152308328you don't have to be a darth to be a sith>but rule of twodefined as sith lords
>>152308431>you don't have to be a darth to be a sithYes you do.
Maul looks FUCKING GARBAGE. What's with the random quirky outcast kids? I want to see Maul doing Maul shit.
>>152308614This is what ever Disney Wars show is: They lure you in with what you want to see, but the real thing is mostly a backdoor pilot for other characters
>>152309242When I was a kid, I thought being a child soldier was the coolest thing ever. I can just leave home and be a war hero, and I'm not some old man. I still do, at least when it comes to Star Wars. Being a teen Jedi sounds so rad.
>>152309270>a backdoor pilot for other charactersI like when star wars does this desu and I often wish they did it more. If Maul sets up a Darth Talon series I will be a happy camper
>>152309270>>152309317Trying to think of literally any example other than bad batch
>>152309329BOBF with that biker gangAndor with Hillary Clin-I mean Mom MothmaKenobi with the Inquisitor ladyTales of the Jedi was just The Dooku Show
>>152309437>BOBF with that biker gang>Andor with Hillary Clin-I mean Mom Mothma>Kenobi with the Inquisitor lady>Tales of the Jedi was just The Dooku ShowNot much of a backdoor pilot, is it If anything id say maybe Mando could have been considered a backdoor pilot for Boba Fett and Ahsoka though. If your problem is just that you don't like the new characters, you can say that. You don't need to make up an imaginary scenario where we are getting a Reva television series
>>152309329Every episode of Mano past season one
>>152309329>Trying to think of literally any example other than bad batchAnd even then, that wasn't even a thing. Their arc in TCW was never meant as a pilot. The Bad Batch only got a show at all because out of the unfinished reels, theirs was so well received that Lucasfilm decided to give them a show. George never planned for them to have a show when he created those characters for TCW. Especially when they were meant to get a whole other arc on Kasshyyk in a later season.
>>152308606says who?>>152309329technically speaking, ventress' episode in bad batch was a backdoor pilot for her tales episodesif anything though, her tales episodes are a backdoor pilot for her own show, if they ever do it (they should)
>>152309918>says who?That's how it's always been. Ventress was Dooku's apprentice to become a Sith. He couldn't appoint her as a Sith because of the Rule of Two. If his intentions succeeded and they killed Sheev, then he could christen her a Sith just as Sheev did with Anakin when he christened him a Sith. Giving him the title and name; Darth Vader. And likewise, Maul would still be considered a Sith. Which he isn't because Sheev kicked him out. Leaving him without the Darth title.
>>152309329>>152309437Most of the second season of The Mandalorian was one backdoor pilot after another.>Booba Feet>Ahsoka>that thing with the WWE chick that got cancelled when she did
>>152311095>>that thing with the WWE chick that got cancelled when she didIt's a shame because a New Republic focused series could have been really really cool.
For me, it's Luke and Leia.
>>152304541Yeah. Go read Lando Calrissian and the Mindharp of Sharu.
>>152296917>Max Von Sydow being a main character>Finn beinga Jedi>Princess Rey>Poe being actually relevantWe were robbed so fucking hard.
Do you have a Darth Maul fatigue, yes or no?
>>152312291>Finn beinga Jedi>We were robbed so fucking hard.Not regarding that we weren't. What Finn should've been was an actual soldier, instead of some jobber, who grew a conscious.
>>152312393I will never tire of my husbando
>>152312393I have Clone fatigue
>>152312393Fatigue would imply I was ever okay with him being around
>>152312393No dude it's all made up. We haven't seen maul in ages
>>152312393No, I have fatigue for any character that doesn't carry a lightsaber or use the force. Maul has already been killed on screen twice now, but there's still a largely unexplored section of his history before his death, and I'd like to see what happened. Obviously there will come a time when they're running out of ideas with Maul and they should just wrap up his loose ends, but that time is not now.>>152312647Based. Bad Batch was good, but it was getting tiresome.
Clone Wars styling is cool, but if Disney rehired whatever studio that did this, it would be peak.
>>152314087That was Blur studios iirc
>>152314087I mean, at that point they might as well go live action. What's the point in going visually realistic when you can just hire actual actors? At least with animation they go with a visual style. With TCW, TBB, Tales and now Maul, they go for the wooden puppet look from Thunderbolts. With Rebels they went for something evocative of Mcquarrie's concept art for the OT. I don't know what the fuck they were going for with Resistance, but that was something too.But yeah, way more work (and thus way more money) would have to go into that and Lucasfilm isn't going to hire a studio to make something like that for a whole TV series. They might if they had George money behind them. But even then he'd probably just push for them to do it in-house anyway.
>>152312393He should have stayed dead after being bifurcated. Bringing him back was stupid.
>>152314143>go live actionTrue, but while I'm not opposed to Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka, it didn't seem like she tried very hard to learn the lightsaber choreography. It's particularly bad when she fights Baylan, the Asian lady, and almost any time she deflects blaster bolts. And that's an issue that could come up in any live action project. Crazy enough, almost all choreography in Acolyte was incredible, but you're still rolling the dice with actors that don't care enough about the duels. Part of the reason the blur studios stuff looks so good is because it's mocapped. Hell, even the TCW Maul vs Ahsoka fight was mocapped. https://youtu.be/JzU68DEPw1w?
>>152314233>True, but while I'm not opposed to Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka, it didn't seem like she tried very hard to learn the lightsaber choreographyThat and ego was probably preventing them from using a stunt double because it was clear there were plenty of opportunities for them to do so and the few times they do, it's very noticeable because the stunt performer is much faster and more fluid than Dawson was.>It's particularly bad when she fights Baylan, the Asian lady, and almost any time she deflects blaster boltsI think it was especially bad when it was Ahsoka vs Anakin because you could really tell that Hayden was massively holding back and could do a whole lot more if he was allowed to. I actually do hope he gets to do an action sequence in season 2 where he gets to cut loose because it's clear he's still very capable with his swordplay.
>>152314087If I didn't know the game was shit, I'd be downloading it right now just from having watched this.
>>152314543The relationship between master and padawan is so wholesome

I want to get into Star Wars but I don't really know where to start. More interested in the modern stuff than the old continuity which I understand isn't updated anymore. I would like to get the "full experience" with every show and movie, good or not, but would also like to read whatever novels feel important to the overall continuity. I really like the idea of such a massive long-form space opera like this
>>152316769Watch the six George Lucas movies and his The Clone Wars series. Done.If you want something for fun, play Star Wars videogames.
>>152316985>>152316769I'm not at all interested in opinions that omit things because people don't like them for one reason or another
>>152316769>I would like to get the "full experience" with every show and movie, good or not, but would also like to read whatever novels feel important to the overall continuity.I'm honestly not sure any novel is important to the new continuity. The books are the centerpiece of the High Republic, and from what I've read Bloodlines imparts some context for The Force Awakens, but it's not "important." The novels and comics were important to the EU because print was its primary medium, but that's not true for Disney.
>>152317197Id say bloodline and the main high Republic storyline for sure but that honestly might be it
Moi naemes omeegah. Thees is reckah and 'untah
>>152316769There is so much media out there that it would hard to do a complete full experience, especially if you go the canon Disney route or take into the much better Extended Universe (EU). Start with the films 1-6. Do the Disney ones 7-9 if you want. After that, you can check out the Clone Wars but the best way to get immersed into areas of the Star Wars universe is to play the video games/read books. There are different genres of it that appeal to different areas of the fandom (clones, jedi/sith, bounty hunters etc.)
>>152304497It's been 10 years, there are bound to be Disney fans already, with a whole new layer of nostalgia
>>152305429That's pretty funny
>>152307642She was introduced specifically as a darksider aspiring to be Sith, but not quite there yet, so you'll always be restricted by that concept
>>152317313I like ohmeegah though
>>152318257I do too. She's a fun character but I will never get over the silly voice
>>152318257Everytime I hear omeega, icko, or tick I think of picrel

>>152314143>why not go live actionBecause blending live-action with 3DCG always looks wrong. Your mind is so trained in comprehending reality that you instantly clock shit that looks off. So when people perform superhuman feats, your mind goes "that looks weird." Think of all the capeshit movies.But if the whole thing is 3DCG, your mind loses its point of reference. Even if it's supposed to look realistic, it's still obviously fake, and so you get over the immersion hurdle right at the start and don't experience immersion-breaking when people start doing things you know nobody could actually perform in real life.
>>152314087God imagine if we got a full miniseries or something by this studio
god, bad batch fucking suckedhow much of a mentally stunted retard do you have to be to like this shit?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0Xn7fdAykw

>>152321342I still watch these on YouTube when I want to feel something. I can't believe these came out 15 years ago...https://youtu.be/Pb8M5P1QKX8?https://youtu.be/cmyF5ge6SQU?https://youtu.be/iGDBTDnW7d0?
>>152321316I mean the pilot episode was easily the worst of that batch of 4 parters, so that was a good indicator.>Duuuude, what if we had clones with mutant powers and quirky personalities!
>>152321497I don't mind the concept, and their TCW arc was fairly entertaining, mainly because they were just guest stars, who were in service of Rex's story. They were there to do cool action and fuck shit up. They can't carry their own show. They were never meant to. They were not designed for this. And making them a bunch of dads babysitting an obnoxious little DEI insert was possibly the single worst route they could have taken. But even then, something interesting could have been done with them, if you had to make a show about them. But the people who made Bad Batch don't seem to understand what made people like the clone episodes, so instead they made a diet Mandalorian show. It was so fucking bland and boring, Jesus. Such a waste.
Recommend me some Star Wars comics with minimal quirky aliens, I like my Star Wars to be purely human based.
>>152320347>Because blending live-action with 3DCG always looks wrong.No, it doesn't.>Your mind is so trained in comprehending reality that you instantly clock shit that looks off.Yes, but I can still suspend my disbelief enough for when it it obvious but still done competently.>So when people perform superhuman feats, your mind goes "that looks weird." Only when it's poorly done.>Think of all the capeshit movies.Their shit looks sufficient 85% of the time.>But if the whole thing is 3DCG, your mind loses its point of reference. Even if it's supposed to look realistic, it's still obviously fake, and so you get over the immersion hurdle right at the start and don't experience immersion-breaking when people start doing things you know nobody could actually perform in real life.Literally the case when real life and 3DCG effects are done competently and or seamlessly. Going full realistic CG for anything regarding Star Wars outside of a video game is completely pointless. Keep the Thunderbirds style for the cartoons.

Is the Expanded Universe (now Legends) the based continuity or is the new one? I keep hearing conflicting things.

>>152322819This cutscene is 15 years old. They look way better now.
>>152322741I prefer the new ones attempt to keep consistent internal logic and continuity but there's no denying the fact that the EU has many fantastic stories that were only possible because of how fast and loose it played with its lore. It's really going to be up to personal preference. New Canon feels like a linear chronological space opera, while the EU feels more like an anthology of stories that occasionally try to fit within each other's worldbuilding
>>152322008Crimson Empire from what I remember, is a good choice, there's only one alien in the main cast and they die by the end. Tales of the Jedi Redemption is also not bad, two out of the six main characters are aliens, but you'll have to read the rest of the series to get anything out of it.
>>152304071Id be livid if they don't. The diad went nowhere in the ST and still needs payoff. Rey using it to either bring him back or communicate with him is the next logical step of development

>Shadow of Maul is designed to tie very directly into the animated series. Not only does it focus on Maul himself, this series also hinges on two characters who will shortly become his nemeses - police detective Brander Lawson and his droid partner Two-Boots.>"The prequel ties directly into the series," Percy says. "It’s meant to establish the characters, the world, and the trouble that detonates wonderfully in episode one. You can read the comic book on its own and get a thrill. You can also read the comic book alongside the series and understand how they’re speaking to each other.">Percy offers some added insight into Captain Lawson, revealing him to be an ex-bounty hunter who now struggles to maintain law and order on the chaotic world of Janix.>"I mentioned earlier that this is a police procedural, a gritty, grounded crime book," Percy says. "The stage is Janix, a shadow-soaked, neon-lit city controlled by crime syndicates. Lawson used to be a bounty hunter. Now he’s a cop and a single dad doing the best he can in a lawless territory. He a good man who pushes limits and breaks rules. And he’s joined by his partner, a droid named Two-Boots, who is loyal, warm, and a bit of a stickler.">Percy also teases that the Janix setting should immediately appeal to fans of projects like Star Wars: Andor, as this world carries a similarly dark and gritty vibe.>"Oh, man. I absolutely love the world of Janix," Percy says. "My two favorite Star Wars stories are Andor and Rogue One. And that’s because they’re grounded in realism. We’re taking a similar approach here. And this city is more than a stage—it’s a character in itself. Steam hisses from vents, billowing the air. Neon burnishes the night. Trash dirties the gutters. Lawson pops his collar and shoulders forward through the rain-drenched crowds. It’s all very noir."
>>152321413>15 yearsIt can't be that long, right?
>>152316769Start with the original six films, then proceed into TCW, then Rebels, then I guess the live action shows. If you really want a one-big consistent experience, then watch and read stuff in timeline order. If you're going for just the broad strokes, then it'd be something like;>Acolyte>first couple Dooku eps of Tales of the Jedi>all the Cad Bane eps of Tales of the Underworld>The Phantom Menace>first couple Ahsoka eps of Tales of the Jedi>last couple Dooku eps of Tales of the Jedi>Attack of The Clones>The Clone Wars>first Morgan episode of Tales of the Empire>Revenge of The Sith>all of Ventress' eps of Tales of the Underworld>all the Barriss eps of Tales of the Empire>The Bad Batch>last couple Ahsoka eps of Tales of the Jedi>second Morgan episode of Tales of the Empire>the Obi-wan show>the Han Solo movie>Rebels S1>Andor S1>the remaining seasons of Rebels>Andor S2>Rogue One>A New Hope>The Empire Strikes Back>Return of the Jedi>the remaining Morgan eps of Tales of the Empire>The Mandalorian>The Book of Bobafett>Ahsoka>Skeleton Crew>Resistance S1>The Force Awakens>The Last Jedi>Resistance S2>The Rise of SkywalkerObviously I've not included the novels, comics and video games. Not out of favoritism, but because I just haven't been keeping track of them very much. But through the visual media I've listed, it covers the necessary broad strokes in the Star Wars timeline.

Reporting to post that mara jade is best girl :)
I'm not sure how I feel about all future "Skywalkers" being descendants of Palpatine.
>>152324474I just ignore it. The ST is a dumpster fire. Yes, even though current content is still leading to it, what they put out is still at least enjoyable and I personally can still disassociate or forget it to some level here and there.
>>152324474I didn't really understand why people put weight on the future of the lineage at all. Especially considering Luke shouldn't have children as a Jedi anyway, nor Rey for that matter. The movies are about a father and son, who cares what comes after that?
>>152303946The reason I like F so much is because she scratches that itch I have for a Jedi protagonist whose just unambiguously heroic. Feels like all we ever get now are haughty masters and people falling to the Dark Side. I just want a Jedi who does Jedi things like peacekeeping, helping the innocent, occasionally slicing niggas heads off. That kind of thing
>>152324604Luke didn't bring back the Jedi 1:1 as they were, he could've rewritten the rules to allow attachment as long as you can learn to let go. He absolutely could've had kids.

>>152324474Future Skywalkers might not exist because there's a good enough chance they just strike the sequels from canon
>>152325313
>>152324474I don't think it matters. I don't want future Skywalkers anyway. I didn't even like that shit in the EU.
>>152325552Cade was cool
>>152295731>Fuck that noise, the last thing we need is another Obi Wan Kenobi on our hands where a potentially strong narrative stretches its budget and scripts too thin.God:>Disney desperate to make SW into the MCU, sequels and A Star Wars Story movies, year on year.>TLJ drama/Solo flops, Iger declares "Star Wars fatigue," cancels Boba Fett and Obi Wan A Star Wars Story movies.>TRoS is shit out, mocked and memed.>Disney+ happens, new pressures to make streaming work, get Jon Favreau involved in Mandalorian (he kickstarted the MCU with Iron Man, helmeted hero again).>Mandalorian builds a a bit of goodwill post-sequels but it was based on a lie, the show is a thinly veiled universe/franchise builder to create spin offs.>Boba Fett, Ahsoka, Rangers of the New Republic (cancelled) all spinning off of it.>Boba Fett and Obi Wan were both pretty much conceptually ripped from movie ideas.>Obi Wan movie ideas feel like they were pretty much used better in a Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order videogame.>Both shows end up fucking bland as fuck, huge budgets with little happening, a movie plot stretched out to decompressed misery. >Now they are desperately pivoting back to movies.
>>152316769>More interested in the modern stuff than the old continuity which I understand isn't updated anymoreWhy? Genuinely. Why does continuity or it being updated matter? The old EU wasn't the best, it was pretty average, sometimes great and sometimes bad. Some of the stories are fun and flesh things out, some of it is explanation for the sake of it, lore stuff. The nu-EU however is a dumpster fire that tries to categorically explain the mess the sequels got themselves into with some retarded ideas.>I really like the idea of such a massive long-form space opera like thisThe OT and prequels are that, I wouldn't describe all the extended material like that. Some of it, maybe.
>>152325598I forgot to mention, one of the vibes I always got from the Mandalorian was that it would attempt to recontextualise the sequels, it kind of did that hinting at Grogu and the cloning program. Bad Batch also went into the cloning. I wonder if the new movie will also try and recontextualise things? I half expect Ahsoka and their future intentions with Thrawn will also try and do the same thing.
>>152325253I mean yeah. Luke is the product of a jedi having kids, and his sister would both absolutely be trained as a jedi and have kids, so idk, never made sense to me that luke would follow it, even discounting mara.>>152325313Its absolutely not happening. Like, at best you'll get a third continuity/aus explcitly but not making the sequels non canon.
>>152324604I feel the same way. The Skywalkers per se are not interesting and never were. Luke and Vader work in the specific story of the OT, much of which isn't even contingent on the father-son relationship in particular.
>>152325762>Like, at best you'll get a third continuity/aus explcitly but not making the sequels non canon.If they're really desperate for a shot of good PR that's the most break glass option available to them
>>152325808Like its just gonna be giving a name to a visions style thing and doing more stuff.I think a full reboot is more likley than them making the sequels non canon, but that really is the final thing they'do ngl.
>>152325822I think a full reboot might just be them aping Legends.
>>152325838By full reboot i mean like flat out redoing the OT, maybe hte PT afterwards. Not that i want that to happen, but i feel that's the ultimate desperation move.The legends aping they already do in the current stage, within it id say the biggest break glass in case of emergency is mara jade?
>>152325899>Star Wars Visions Presents: The Skywalker Saga
>>152321413What's the current status of SWTOR? Can I just ignore the mmo aspects and play through the storyline alone? I'm 30yo and haven't touched a proper MMO since WoW WotlK release days, I just don't have the time, brainpower or skill to immerse myself in all the mechanics and social stuff or guilds or whatever.
>>152325958Yeah, you can pretty much ignore all the multiplayer stuff and focus on the story, the combat's also brain-dead easy.
>>152325988Nice. Don't want to bother actual players with my boomer reflexes.
>>152325994I'm 33, so it's the same for me. I barely do multiplayer anymore since high-tier gear just becomes obsolete ever expansion.
>>152325905An anime/animated retelling of the Skywalker Saga might be fun if its set in its own canon.
Hot take, I did not care about The Duel, especially after the tie-in novel turned The Ronin into a fag.
>>152322869Not all of them. they mostly updated just the intro cutscenes and the first planet cutscenes
>>152325988>>152325994The combat is not only brain dead easy, it's brain numbingly easy too. The real challenge is not falling asleep fetching 30 geonosian brain worms over and over. I seriously suggest listening to something in the background if you're going to put yourself through that
>>152326180>fetching 30 geonosian brain wormsThis is peak Star Wars experience.
>>152326180As a boomer, I play it to relax, I actually like the monotony.
>>152321966Star Wars Legacy. It's too edgy to have quirky aliens, unless you count hot alien babe as one
>>152325253>>152325762As far as I know, Lucas did validate the non attatchment rule of the Jedi even post-RotJ, which is just dumb if true. Luke's real victory comes through not rejecting his attachtements, but by relying on them for strength. Yoda and Obi-Wan spend three movies telling him to reject his feelings for his father and simply kill Vader, but Luke proves them wrong at the end since his love for his dad is what ends up saving both.
>>152325313>there's a good enough chance they just strike the sequels from canon
>>152326491I won't defend those movies, but the idea of them being removed from canon was always retard cope.
>>152326576This, there are more people IRL that liked those movies than angry fanboys online. That's not to say they were great, but normalfags seemed to latch onto them.
>>152326586>angry fanboys onlineNiggertits is the worst place you could find those people. I've been a fan of Star Wars since 1997 and trust me, things were much worse back in the days of the prequels. I still remember people calling The Phantom Menace feminist propaganda.
>>152326595I wonder how fans felt about Dark Empire since it was pretty much proto-TROS, though I heard bringing Palpatine back was George Lucas' idea since the writer initially wanted a Vader wannabe as the antagonist.
>>152326620George Lucas also wanted Anakin Solo dead since he was too much like his plans for Anakin Skywalker in the prequel trilogy, so he probably would've become the next Sith Lord instead of Jacen had he survived.
>>152326620>>152326633George also vetoed Revan and Bane in The Clone Wars and almost got Maul and Talon to team up in a game. People underestimate how much say he had in the franchise before, even now he's still one of the biggest shareholders in the franchise. He also loved The Last Jedi.
>>152326643>spoilerTo be fair, it was the only movie in the trilogy that used his original ideas. George could've directed the ST and fans would've still hated it.
>>152326647>George could've directed the ST and fans would've still hated itIf he directed them, people would've just continued the PT hate bandwagon, especially his ideas for the movies, which had Luke going crazy and dying in the 2nd movie anyway, Leia being the real chosen one in a galaxy where Maul and Talon ran the underworld or a microscopic deep-dive into the Midichlorians. Disney's just the big bad guy for buying the franchise.
Star Wars brings out the retard in a lot of people.
>>152326674Asking about Lucas vs. Disney's ST is like being asked to choose between weird schlock and generic blockbuster schlock.
>>152326674>a microscopic deep-dive into the Midichlorians.Out of everything from the Lucas' treatments that's the concept that intrigue me the most ngl>>152326709At least one would've felt like something made with soul.
>>152326779The ST as we know it is actually very politically neutered save for "lol wimminz and nigs" to a fault, Lucas' would've had a more political edge.
>>152326796Yeah, one of the worst things about the ST was how Disney pussied out on having politics (actual politics, not "snarky comment to please the twitter crowd) in it only to please the genXers who bitched about them in the prequels. They took away a lot of thematic potential, and made the world seem non-sensical by let us know jackshit about the social state of the galaxy.
>>152326796Lucas' version of TLJ smack dab in the middle of Trump's term would've been something.>>152326829Yeah, exactly, it felt like they were trying to distance themselves from Lucas' political style. The OT and ST were very political films, which makes the ST the odd one out.
>>152327351The Force Unleashed was a much better Dark Times story than fucking Rebels. Starkiller is a better character, much cooler, and makes more sense than lame ass jobber Inquisitors with their gay helicopter lightsabers. It is also tonally and stylistically much more in line with Lucas' movies and The Clone Wars, and makes much more sense as a continuation.
>>152327351The game did this better because it directly contrasted PROXY's prim and proper rendition of Juno with the real deal having her jacket undone and generally looking rather unprofessional but hot as fuck.
Just finished The Acolyte, Sol and The Stranger are literally the only characters worth giving a shit about.
>>152327746>base the show on Asian martial arts flicks>the only good characters are played by AsiansIt's not rocket science.
>>152327746They should've just made the entire show about the Stranger considering they marketed it as a Sith story. Instead we got that awful shit show instead.
>>152327857Hell, I'd settle for The Stranger being featured in a possible Tales of the Sith.
>>152327888They may do that to tie his story up with Plageius. 3x episodes on him and the stranger and then 3x. episodes of Plageuis and Palps. We now know that the plan for the stranger was that he rejects the Sith and starst the knights of Ren and that Ren was supposed to be his name
>>152327970I really hope that's the case in the future.
>>152325233Yeah, the Jedi order lasted thousands of years, so they must have been doing something right, but 90% of stories are either about the Order failing or dead. Even the fucking Acolyte, the only Old Republic show they made, the point of whose setting was supposed to be showing the Jedi and Republic in their prime, couldn't stop shitting on the Order for 5 minutes.
>>152327378Shaak Ti in unga bunga gear is the only good part of this Coldsteel slop
>>152325958Yeah very much so.
>>152326486Lucas did try to frame Luke as a typical jedi in some interviews, but its at odds with the fact that luke manages to still be attached both to his friends and father and that's why he wins. As well as the fact that he was right while obi and yoda were wrong. Yeah.>>152326633He didnt want him dead, he just said he couldnt be the hero of NJO, which was the original plan.>>152328467Its weird, cause this..wasnt the case pre-TLJ. Pre-tlj (or well rebels in the new canon too) while there were jedi-critical stuff, it was far from the norm.
>>152328888It's not at odds with anything. The Jedi are about maintaining equanimity/emotional composure which is ultimately what Luke does. From their perspective that's what Obi-Wan and Yoda were doing, too. Vader was an evil cunt; even Luke was very wrong about how things would develop.
>>152329308I mean, the ghostduo wanted luke to kill vader, but ultimately luke not doing that is what was the right thing, its luke not doing what he's supposed to a sa jedi that wins the day, idk feels very much at odds.Especially when lucas forgets about this and acts as if the ghosts wanted that too! (Dont want to bash lucas, he's a one in a million creator, but we all make mistakes/forget/rewrte stuff in our heads)
>>152329366It's not a matter of being more or less compatible with Jedi teachings. They're just acting on different information. Luke had insight into Vader and a connection that Obi-Wan never could have had, and Luke was still almost tortured to death for his trouble. Darth Vader was not a misunderstood kid in the backrow listening to Joy Division.
Senator Binks is in the Mas Amedda files
>>152329473It's not like Luke truly knew if he could turn Vader away from the dark side, to him that was a gamble just like everything else in the war. His desire to redeem him is born out of an emotional place.
Both Kennedy and Iger are out but I don't think things will improve for Star Wars

>>152325233>I just want a Jedi who does Jedi things like peacekeeping, helping the innocent, occasionally slicing niggas heads offI wrote an OC fanfic about basically this. I would randomize pages on Wookiepedia until it gave me a planet and then I would write about a scenario there, like a monster or problem of the week type format. I gave up on it because I wanted an overarching plot and I couldn't decide on what time period to set it in and ended up never returning to it
>>152332099Where'd he say that?>>152332317And where'd he praise it?
>>152333055Can you link your stuff?
>>152334162I never uploaded it anywhere, I wanted to upload the whole thing when I finished
>>152330370But it's not like Obi-Wan had the same thought but ignored it. Vader tells us otherwise. RotS made that part more awkward, but it's shit so who cares.
>>152329366>the ghostduo wanted luke to kill vaderNot really. One thing that people tend to forget, or ignore, is that those who achieve nirvana, pass into and live in the Cosmic Force become omniscient. They know everything and basically become 5h dimensional life forms. That short story about Qui-gon speaking to Obi-wan when Luke goes home to find Owen and Beru's charred skeletons describes Qui-gon's literal point of view. Past, present and future are simultaneous for them. The entirety of existence is happening all at once in front of them. When he looked at Obi-wan he saw every stage of his life from infancy to when he would also achieve enlightenment.Yoda and Obi-wan told Luke to kill Vader not because they wanted him dead. But because they knew how he would react in order to ensure the outcome that was supposed to happen would happen; Luke saving Anakin so that he could restore balance to the Force. If you want to put it more bluntly, yes, they fucking lied to him.
>>152315476The class stories are fun though, especially the evil ones
>>152326180You can also watch the cutscenes on Youtube. There’s different ones for light or dark side choices. I’m impressed by how distinct every class story is, even if the planets are always the same.
>>152329473That is, fair but i more so mean that it comes down to luke's attachment to his father, or the idea of him, that's what saves the day. Puts it well>>152330370>>152335099Anon, as far as the film itself goes, the ghosts argue that if luke isnt willing to kill vader, then then "the emperor has already won", there is no hint that theyre lying. Not even retroactively in the context of the films. The idea that the ghosts have future sight..isnt a thing in any of the 6 films either, that's a tcw idea..and the way that tcw expands on the force ghsots, fundamentally doesnt work with what the films do..its where the ghosts are able to interact with the world. And ill be honest, its just at odds with how they're written in the films itself, forcing them to lie to luke again, after the whole scene is..them not lying to luke. You reailze how that doesnt work right? [Also the story you're referencing. Came out in 2017..]There really isnt a hint that they lied in the film itself.
>>152336101>forcing them to lie to luke again, after the whole scene is..them not lying to luke. You reailze how that doesnt work right?No? All that I can admit is that they were basically manipulating him by saying what he needed to hear from them to ensure he'd do what needed to happen.Also, I can admit that I realized too late that this particular topic was in regards specifically to the films and not the overall canon. So my bad.
>>152336941Sexo
>>152326691George Lucas tends to have that effect on people.
If you had to survive a 5 minute duel against Count Dooku, who is bloodlusted and trying to kill you, would you rather be an average Old Republic Jedi Knight, an above average Clone Wars Jedi Knight, or a below average EU Jedi Knight from Luke's Academy? Assume you're slightly worse duelist per era than mid-Mandalorian Wars Jedi Malak, AOTC Padawan Anakin, and about the same as... Lowbacca.
>>152338958>If you had to survive a 5 minute duel against Count Dooku, who is bloodlusted and trying to kill you,Irrelevant question because you wouldn't survive.
>>152339003What if we elevate if from average Knight to Master?
>>152338692Nah. George Lucas and his works are fine. Lucas is a smart man and an actual artist, and it is reflected in his art. It's the fanfiction obsessed autistic spergs - EU or Disney - who are the worst and in most cases outright retarded.
>>152338958While the average force user from the Old Republic is probably stronger than the average force user from the Clone Wars, the top tiers from the Clone Wars absolutely lap literally everyone from the Old Republic save for Vitiate. You could be Jedi Master level with a Jedi Master buddy from either of those eras and get mollywhopped by Dooku in under 5 minutes easily. EU is a very different story, their best Knights should be a match for Dooku if not slightly better. I'd definitely put him below Kyle, and about even with MaraAnyway, the answer to your original question is no I would die
>>152339186I'd actually argue most top tiers from the Old Republic would shit on most top tiers from the Clone Wars, aside from very specific ones like Obi-Wan, Anakin, Mace, etc. I bet (Darth) Malak would probably beat Count Dooku, Maul, Ventress, etc pretty handily.
>>152339229>I bet (Darth) Malak would probably beat Count DookuYou think Malak would beat the guy who beat Obi Wan and Anakin seperately and outmaneuvered them together multiple times? Handily?The Clone Wars top tiers are some of the most powerful force users ever seen up until that point and that includes Dooku, who has great showings against all of them except Palpatine
so apparently 2 star wars EU conventions are suing each other
>>152338958Average Old Republic Jedi Knight.And of these 3 characters my money is still on Alek. AotC Anakin is probably better but he is overconfident while Alek is mostly aware of how much of a shitter he is.Honestly I don't think any of these can survive a 5 minutes fight with a Dooku bent on killing them unless they just run away.
>>152339642Nice, fuck them.
>>152339249>You think Malak would beat the guy who beat Obi Wan and Anakin seperately and outmaneuvered them together multiple times? *Before the two were at their peak? While Obi-Wan was still perfecting his technique? While Anakin hadn't been egged on to use the Dark Side? Even Maul outmatched Obi-Wan in most of their encounters, and if Obi-Wan hadn't been caught off guard and ragdolled, Dooku would've been beaten by technique alone, and in a drawn out battle, both of them, at that time, would've beaten Dooku individually. I honestly think Dooku would lose to most Old Republic high tiers. It's no disrespect to him, I just think they're on a different level. Even on the basis of Makashi dueling, Tulak Hord probably beats Dooku 7 or 8/10 times.
>>152339642That's very funny. What's the story?
>>152333055You're an icon, I used to love making up stories about Star Wars OCs going on one off adventures
>>152333055>>152340067I wrote a Star Wars OC back when I was 13, looking back, my story was kinda shit, literally teenaged wish fulfilment that makes Star Wars Theory look like a great writer in comparison.
>>152340555>Star Wars TheoryThis is the guy that thought making Anakin say "fuck" was peak writing.
>>152340599The guy just self-inserts as Anakin lmao
Thoughts on Ania Solo?
>>152340731Darth Talon is the only thing anyone knows from Legacy. And not for her story, writing or personality.
>>152340731
>>152340731She was better Rey and Jao was better Finn.
>>152322008just read anything before 2011.

>>152340927Kek.
>>152339642Legends expo and which one?
>>152341806People didn't like Legacy?
>>152341313Anything in particular? Currently half way through Dark Empire
>>152344860What is this?
>>152337396Yeah, i mean overall with the later info that's what happened, but i really do feel that conflicts with the 6 films itself.>>152339186Well the EU also does make the clone wars era jedi stronger too, so it depends. Even vitiate is arguable if he's stronger or not than DE palpatine.The NJO is very OP, kyle is bare minmum dooku level if not ahead. Mara is hard to judge but she's at least like on the level of maul?>>152339229Probably not, if you're using the EU for both. Its easy to forget that the EU version of the PT era jedi are pretty op, in turn>>152340731She's okay, probably the best part of legacy ii>>152341806I love legacy I, but i dislike legacy II a lot ngl>>152343549Some here, but idk, i love the first, dislike the second not hate or anything but its not as strong.
>>152339913I disagree with practically everything you said but I'm exhausted of powerscaling
>>152345805The idea that the old republic force wielders are stronger than the movie era, works..if you ignore the EU of those movie era characters too.
>>152344973Fanart, seems inspired by the star wars republic comic.
>>152314543
Necrobumping before bedKathleen did nothing wrong
>>152349017Nah she did plenty, biggest was hiring JJ.
>>152326486My problem with Lucas is that so many of his ideas became slightly skewed as he went on, so much stuff in the prequels is like that. He came in with such concrete ideas that kind of fit but sort of don't. So many ideas of what the Jedi were and what they should be got weakened by how they ended up in the prequels and some people will claim it was on purpose but part of me feels like it wasn't. It was a bit messy.
>>152349782It's not wrong to think like that. Of course I respect Lucas and like a lot of his work, but he did have a tendency to make things as he went along to later claim it was always the intention. I mean, Leia wasn't even supposed to be Luke's sister right until RotJ was in pre-production, and it all came down because he wanted to wrap the movies up at that point instead of introducing the other Skywalker (who was meant to be a new female character) further down the line.Another example is Obi-Wan claiming that Yoda was the master that trained him, or him seemingly forgetting all about R2's existance, or R2 not telling anyone about anything despite him having an extensive knowledge of how the events of the prequels went down.
>>152295083>Mfw watching Rebels and Hera's french accent suddenly slips out
>>152350253I personally think Lucas is more reactionary and emotive in a way people don't assume and that did influence ideas, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse, making him out to be a genius, which some fans do, is stupid, but similarly people act like he isn't human and didn't care but sometimes I think he cared quite deeply. The story that he made plans and ideas and didn't change anything is far from reality, I just think the prequels skewed his ideas in specific ways, he didn't think things through in a way.I think a good example of Lucas being reactive is Boba Fett. Boba became massively popular in a way Lucas didn't understand after Empire came out (heck even before in a parade and stuff people were interested in the character). Numerous anecdotes say his decision to kill him off in RotJ was kind of arbitrary, that Boba didn't live up to some standard Lucas had. Much later, after Phantom Menace was released and the backlash happened, we get Jango in Episode 2. And to me it feels like Lucas is desperately trying fan service. Put in the fan favourite to please people. That Lucas desperately wanted to do that and it shows a level of sensitivity I think people don't think Lucas had. And weirdly enough I think Maul is Boba 2.0. Maul had a cool aesthetic and only a couple lines, like Boba, but built into a fan favourite and Lucas seemingly regretted the decision to kill him off so he was brought back in TCW (funnily enough Boba was brought back in the EU, was potentially going to be in Lucas' Underworld series before officially coming back in the Mandalorian).
>>152350664if anything I think maul (now) is made out to be this foil, dark mirror, or dark side equivalent to ahsokaof course that slot was already filled, so it's just a case of maul getting pushed and treading over everyone like he always does
>>152350748Boba was the quintessential, cool fan favourite, like I said, nice aesthetic, few lines, he regrets killing him, Maul really fits that. So many characters since then feel like forced fan favourites? Ashoka and others, such as Rebel characters have become this. Based on these Reddit narratives of, you're not a real fan if you haven't watched TCW etc. Leading to people feeling that Filoni is forcing characters down their throats. With Lucas I feel like he regretted killing them off and brought them back. But the 'Filonism" of it is that they never stop returning. That Star Wars now is only the B, C or D lister characters post sequel failure. Or that meme about Zeb appearing in Mandalorian, Blork appears in Flungus.
>>152350359Will they have the balls to have MEW do it in live action?
>>152350800I have noticed that a lot of those fans seem to get offended if you simply just don't like/don't care about those characters (rebels cast, ahsoka, maul, rex etc)and any other character from those shows that isn't on that list, they don't really give a fuck aboutso are they really shilling a show like TCW? or shilling their own perception of TCW?>Or that meme about Zeb appearing in Mandalorian, Blork appears in Flungushere
Is there anything coming out that'll bring life into the fandom? Mando is gonna flop, the world is over Maul, what is there to be excited by? Heir was ok but it's been too many years. The moment passed. I don't think there'll be a lot of buzz for it so what else is there? The first jedi? Tales? Visions? Some book? It's over but what offends me is that there is NOTHING on the horizon so it's over for the next decade. After TROS there was Mando. There was Andor, High Republic was worth talking about. At least I wasn't sure what it was before reading. There always was something to be excited for but now there is literally nothing. Fallen Order series is the only thing and it's the most boring Star Wars out there but the people are not ready to admit it quite yet
>>152351342The actual content doesn't even have to be good. I just miss the fandom. The discussions, the memes, all that shit. I miss speculating on what's next, what's the lore, what the new thing will be. I miss the fandom but I don't think it'll ever come back. Even after Sequels, there was discussion. Now? It's all so... dead.
>>152351342>the world is over MaulSource? The trailer has been trending for weeks, it has got more views than new KOTOR game trailer and it gains views faster than Mandalorian movie. It's actually the first time since Clone Wars finale when it seems like there is some hype.
>>152351342>Is there anything coming out that'll bring life into the fandom?The Old Republic stuff they're branching into again. It's the 'smash in case of an emergency' scenario for Disney and it will work. They've started adding more old republic characters into their mobile game - galaxy of heroes too.
>>152351362It's still there, it's just most of the places where people talk about Star Wars are infested with schizos.
I will always hold the opinion that Lucas is a genius in the need of tardwanglers to prune his worst ideas and bring his best ones to life.>>152350253>Another example is Obi-Wan claiming that Yoda was the master that trained him, or him seemingly forgetting all about R2's existance, or R2 not telling anyone about anything despite him having an extensive knowledge of how the events of the prequels went down.The first two could be explained as some imprecise wording but the last one is baffling, even more how C3PO got memory wiped at the end of EP 3, but not R2.
>>152352395>I will always hold the opinion that Lucas is a genius in the need of tardwanglers to prune his worst ideas and bring his best ones to life.This is true of most geniuses honestly. Nothing wrong with it.
>>152351103>I have noticed that a lot of those fans seem to get offended if you simply just don't like/don't care about those charactersI think this is because we are coming out of a decade long antagonism campaign where nobody was allowed to say anything good about Star Wars or it's characters. So now attention being shifted to "oh my God bros I hate maul sooooo much ugh can you believe people are excited for maul uuuuuuuggh" feel undeniably like theatrical shitposting.It's hard to take filoni hate seriously when it's clearly just doing the Kennedy thing again but when the NEW new person in charge. That is to say, I don't think people aren't allowed or unjustified to dislike Filoni content, just don't be surprised when you get a side eye
A second go-through or recut of the sequel trilogy could have made it perfect. I dont know how much of /swco/ are also Dragon Ball fans, but the kind of project that DB Super is getting is exactly what the ST needs. Imagine the same concepts and end goal but with proper foresight.
>>152353207It would need considerable expansion to make them cohesive with the prior movies, let alone with the films within the ST.A missed opportunity a project like that could remedy would be a greater focus on the socio-political state of the galaxy. While I'm not a fan of retreading the whole "rebel/empire" conflict, it can give way to explore things like historical revisionism; show how a portion of the galaxy might genuinely believe things were better under the empire, and how people who weren't born at that time might be apologists for it, giving greater support for the First Order. Hell, it can make the entire ST more timely given that's been a popular trend sinc the 2010's.
>>152353207Completely unrealistic and would never happen, but I do agree with you
