Two more weeks till the finale. Do you like it so far?
>>153352630YesWhich feels like there needs to be some ironic thing about how star wars sucks now but I'm genuinely enjoying it.
>>153352673
>>153352684
>>153352630No. I don't understand why he wants an apprentice so bad.
>>153352902Rule of two
>>153352695um, sexual harASSment?
Say it
>>153352902>He knows it's a kids show so he knows it needs a main child character >He's 102% Sith and those need an apprentice >All those Mandalorians have made him want a Foundling of his own.>He feels lonelyTake your pick
>>153352932Quality-wise, the pre and post Disney eras are not much different despite what the majority exclaims
>>153352630i'm so fucking sick of maul
>>153352980You needn't post this every thread
>>153352968where is my kotor 3 and jedi knight 4 then?
>>153352902sith are often obsessed with their legacy, and successfully training an apprentice is living proof that they existedeven if maul isn't technically a sith anymore, it's all he knows there's also a chance he wants something like he had with savage again, something akin to a familial relationship
I want Maul to give Devon a winded speech of something about that is completely wrong only for her to react like "Ok dude, now you're just projecting all of your shit"
>>153354576so maul is just doing this?
>>153352922>>153352957>>153353650Maul isn't Sith anymore. He no longer even considers himself Sith and now he hates them. That's why he doesn't go by "Darth" anymore. Wanting an apprentice is just a really contrived way of getting a kid into the main cast of a kids' cartoon. You're not supposed to think much about it.
>>153354780He knows about the dark side and knows how beneficial an apprentice would be to him
>>153354664Not really, people have figured out he's a loveable loser years ago
>>153352968Nah. The Filoni-verse stuff at least has something of a creative director at the helm. It's debatable on how well that gels with the main canon, but I think we can all agree that the dumpster fire of the ST has pretty much become a deadend and the less it's referenced the sooner it can be forgotten.
>>153354808>how beneficial an apprentice would beWhat are the benefits?
>>153354844Rule of Two
>>153352932>Say itWhat?
>>153354863That's a Sith thing and was only in place so that there'd be less people to stab you in the front. Maul isn't Sith anymore and has plenty of goons in his gang already.
>>153354780>Maul isn't Sith anymoreMaul is the most Sith to ever Sith. That guy lives and breathes the Dark Side. He may call himself what he wants, I know his nature.>>153354844>What are the benefits?Passing on your knowledgeYou grow stronger togetherI would say "Force Sex goes crazy" but I doubt Maul has that extension installed
>>153355036>Maul is the most Sith to ever Sith. Objectively false.>That guy lives and breathes the Dark Side.You don't need to be Sith to use dark side, dummy. It's long been established that force-sensitives don't need to fall into the Jedi/Sith dichotomy.
>>153352630It's okay. It's kind of generic, though. Maul himself was always sort of thin and that remains the case (there's not much room for anything else), and while I prefer the stuff with the cop it's all super familiar story beats. I am enjoying it but I honestly think it peaked in the first two episodes.
I hope the second season has a timeskip so that it takes place during the time in which the movie Solo is set, and so that Devon is an adult and also maybe have Qira around
>Marrok was actually coolShame he's an eternal jobber just like the rest of the inquisitors but at least he got his moment in the sun. Lets see if birdman gets the same treatment after we saw him get bodied by Ahsoka in 10 seconds.
>>153356149that only happened because ahsoka has extreme plot armour, everyone (except ahsokafags) agree it's bullshit
>>153352630
>>153352630Is this show worth pirating?>Erm, should just pay for-Fuck off, I'm not getting Disney plus just for one cartoon
>>153358264If someone on 4chan pays for tv shows/movies they should honestly go back to plebbit. The show's pretty good, the only downside is the complete lack of sexy female characters. So far it's been a good time.
>>153358264Just wait till May 4th, then you can binge the whole season.
>>153358264you have the entire rest of the star wars catalogue to watch with it if you want, anon. its never just "one" show/comic/movie/whatever when it comes to star wars because nothing is truly standalone
>>153359321I don't get it.
>>153359321Haha, I get it, it's not funny but I get it.
Devon will just be darkside Ahsoka, but instead of "she's not really a jedi" it'll be "she's not really a sith".Filoni must be planning to use her for years, and to be honest, i don't mind, better for maul to have a real legacy instead of the bullshit they gave him in the comics, where he trained Han Solo's ex-girlfriend, who doesn't have the Force, to fight Darth Vader.
>>153359556Ah, can't wait for hag Devon who won't be able to move or fight for shit in shitty Mandoverse live action slop. That geriatric Ahsoka vs Devon duel is gonna be epic.
>>153359556>>153359725i wonder if the reason why devon has unusually stubby lekku is so it isn't as noticeable on the actress when they inevitably shove her in a live action show iirc a lot of people laughed (and still laugh) at how dawson ahsoka is a total lekkulet compared to most of her animated portrayals
>>153359826Unfortunately that's possible, considering that they redesigned original Clone Wars Pykes to look like the shitty Book of Boba Fett Pykes.For the sake of Star Wars, I fucking pray Mandalorian movie flops and gets massively panned by everyone.
>>153360059They did it first from Lucas films.
>>153360059it's honestly embarrassing how shit disney has been with the ayysiirc the excuse with ahsoka was that dawson was unable to do choreography with the longer lekku so they shortened them, but her choreography is so dogshit i think that itself was a lie and they made them stubby because they didn't want to waste money making them longer, a bare minimum togruta costume look at oola in rotj, back in 1983 the actress who played her did a little dance number with what became the standard length lekku, clearly showing it's possible do more intense movements with themas for the pykes, i have no idea, it's not like everything in tcw was consistent with the films due to how ass the initial animation and most designs looked in 2008/9 but they still rolled with it anyways
>>153359826The endgame for all these characters is getting folded into a live action show, so that's why they're designs are so bad
>>153360059>I fucking pray Mandalorian movie flops and gets massively panned by everyone.This Mando movie should be a fucking tragic comedy, considering they already fucked the Mando name with season 3, but at the same time, he's still their best shot at getting people to go see Star Wars in the cinema again.Filoni should be very worrid, if it flops, it's not only the Ryan Gosling movie that will get shitcanned, Filoni's dream of making a knockoff Heir to the Empire movie will go down the drain also.
>>153360430Good. They should scrap all the live action slop and give these billions of dollars budgets to Lucasfilm Animation so they can hire more people and do even bigger shows of Maul quality. Imagine a huge Clone Wars-like show about Mandalorian Wars in the Old Republic.
Anybody claiming they want mando to flop don't actually know what they want. You should want it to make just barely enough money to keep the other films greenlit, and then want them to make a hundred times whatever Mando doesKennedy said on her way out that Disney is terrified of greenlighting Star Wars projects. Wanting Mando to fail because it's milqtost boring slop would actually doom us to never get an interesting installment ever again.
>>153358264>Is this show worth pirating?Maybe if you're a Fil-lator. If all you know about Maul is from TPM, you'll be lost on where the story picks up so with that regard you'll have more pertinent things to pirate.
>>153360657I want Mando to flop because I don't want any more ugly Mandoslop that ruins everything it touches. Mandoslop should flop horribly, and Starfighter movie that will come out regardless (it's already filmed) should make two billions. That would work. Although Starfighter movie making two billions would encourage them to double down on the fucking sequels. There is truly no win scenario here. Mandoslop doesn't flop = we get more awful Mandoslop and more awful live-action adaptations of animated characters, Mandoslop flops and Starfighter doesn't = more sequels slop.
>>153352630This show is highly satanic because it promotes the false religion of Buddhism and has WHORES
>>153360657>disney is terrified of greenlighting star wars projects>greenlights a movie about a show past its prime after it pissed away all its goodwill with the boba fett show and mando s3, which as expected looks like a glorified made for tv moviegood to see the higher ups at disney are still retarded the only way for disney to get star wars off the ground again is to completely divorce itself from the ot and pt for a couple years, 5 at least thousands of years before or thousands of years after, it doesn't matter as long as we get away from the endless 'empire vs rebels' ravine we've been stuck in since 2015
>Favreau shoots it in the same portrait-mode style framing as so many Netflix shows, with each character practically speaking to the camera against a blurry background that recreates the feeling of a Zoom meeting>...nothing in this first 15 minutes makes me feel optimistic about the remaining two hours I still haven't seen.>Heck, even the space battle at the start of Revenge of the Sith and Kylo Ren slaughtering randos on Mustafar in The Rise of Skywalker left an impact. By comparison, The Mandalorian and Grogu feels soulless and limp. I highly doubt that in another 50 years, Star Wars fans will talk about Mando taking down AT-AT Walkers the way they still do Luke Skywalker tangling with the Empire on Hoth.>Hopefully, I'm wrong. Star Wars really needs a win, but I'm still not convinced The Mandalorian and Grogu is it.https://www.polygon.com/the-mandalorian-and-grogu-opening-scene-description/
>>153360790from the clip they released, the colour grading looks complete shit
What should the next era after tRoS be like?
>>153360725My problem with Lizzo character is that she isn't evil. If you're fat in star wars it's because you have the resources to be fat in which most people are starving hence the whole rebellion. Had they made Lizzo an evil Queen who would execute a small girl for stealing a loaf of bread her character would have been better.
>>153360814given that the closest thing to a large government left after tros is the hutts, probably something akin to europe after the fall or rome some places are fine, but there are a lot of small galactic communities that sprout up to fill the void left by the republic and fo
>>153359725god this makes me think of how live action ventress is inevitable (well unless mando and grogu bombs), but they WILL fuck her up
>>153360833>all these relics from the clone wars are still alive and kicking decades after rotjwhat a joke
star wars is deadwho wants to watch its corpse constantly getting raped?
>>153360790>Favreau shoots it in the same portrait-mode style framing as so many Netflix showsDisney should stop letting Fraveu get away with his stupid shit, sure, he started the MCU, but how much tolerance for failure should this buy him?
>>153360814Honestly, since Disney will never allow the sequels to be decanonized, then they have to either go to the past, or so far in the future it isn't relelvant anymore.
>>153360814A dozen factions all trying to fill the power vacuum. New Republic Remnant, Hutts quickly expanding, inevitable dark side cultists probably lead by the girl in the Maul show. Maybe we can even see something ridiculous like the Black Sun having control over major territory.Reys Jedi Order are nomadic and haven't been seen for almost a decade. This would be the perfect time to do the "Star Wars Game of Thrones" style project people have memeing for. Good and bad are a bit more subjective, who will come out on top isn't as clear, lots of push and pull with political intrigue. Then bam, Grysk invasion from the unknown regions and the Rey NJO film
I don't even like the filoni stuff really, but it would be retarded if they put the actual climax on the backburner. This shit would feel even more pointless than it already is
>Ahsoka shows introduces another galaxy>infinite new possibilities for storytelling unburndened by what came before.Just watch they completely waste it and just fill this new galaxy with the same shit, Jedi, Sith, the Rebels, the Empire, all will move there.Hell, they already got Dathomir witchs there, supposed they were from ther originally, but they also somehow know the jedi already, so the jedi made their way to this new galaxy in the far past.
>>153361036It's grysk time.
>>153361036>Just watch they completely waste it and just fill this new galaxy with the same shit,I mean, they already did. Nightsisters, Mortis, Not!Tuskens, Not!Jawas, Space Whales - shit we've seen before. Even the new shit that they'll introduce in Season 2 of Ahsoka is not really "new", but more George Lucas scraps from The Clone Wars Season 8 that was cancelled, pic related, ancient biomechs that lived on the ground level of Coruscant are gonna appear on Peridia. They are literally incapable of coming up with anything new without George Lucas. Nearly EVERYTHING Disney has done is just reheat George Lucas' ideas before he sold the company. It's all mined from Underworld, Clone Wars, 1313, and his sequel treatments.
>I'm sick of OT wank! We deserve new eras!!>NOOOOOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT! BOYCOTT!!! YOUTUBE TOLD ME THERE WERE GAY CHARACTERS IN THAT ERA!You deserve mandoslop.
>>153361047Filoni has to do his Heir to the Empire knockoff storyline before sinking up to his hat in the quagmire that is the YuuZhan Vong bullshit
>>153361096Fallacious thinking. Just because Mandoslop sucks doesn't mean this lame and gay shit is any better.
>>153361096>>153361125Anybody with a human level of foresight would have supported it simply to prove to Disney that new eras can be profitable. If you refused to engage with it or the acolyte, regardless of your reason, you deserve 400 seasons of baby yeed shot on The Volume.
>>153361096Yeah, no use blaming us for the failure of the High Republic, this "multimedia" project lived and died on the idea live action, no one reads the books or the comics, they had one chance to introduce this properly to the public and decided to shit out The Acolyte,it's no one's fault but Disney's.
>>153361096>era called 'the high republic'>it's actually only 150ish years before the ptyeah nah it's worthless, if it were set after the old republic but before darth bane then you might've been able to do something interesting, but as it stands it just causes more questions due to it's proximity to the prequels
>>153361096I think the High Republic is mostly fine, but it failed to provide a good hook because so much of it depended on novels in a media climate where that doesn't stick.>The Acolyte!The Acolyte was very much its own thing and at a remove from the books and comics, whatever you thought of it. I liked The Acolyte in concept, for the most part.
>>153361150>if you don't consume slop, then they won't make slop anymore.I know you're baiting, but at leats put some thought behind it.
>>153361231The Acolyte was the only way to introduce the vast majority of the public to the High Republic, if it was good, maybe some people would seek out the novels and comics.But, instead, they gave the show to the woman that arranged Weistein rapes and bet the whole show on gen Z women's thirsty for K-pop men.
>>153361150>Acolyte was originally going to be 3 seasons and a movie, focusing on the origins of the Ren, the political fallout between the Republic and The Jedi, and of course the story of Darth Plagueis>Scrapped because 2010-era youtube chuds couldn't handle a webm of chanting lesbian chicks>Now we are doomed to hyper-safe filoni slop>Meanwhile those youtubers barely even exist anymore It's not fair
The High Republic was kino. The Acolyte was fine and deserved a second season to hit a stride
>>153361291>Leslye "Square"Headland won't be fucking up Darth Plagueis stroy anymore>Filoni will continue fucking Thrawn's storyHonestly, at least you know Filoni actually enjoyed the shit he's destroying while trying to make it "his own", the women behind the Acolyte had no interest in Star Wars, except as a way to wokescold the audience.
maybe they should stop pushing all these females in a male franchise
>>153361353ACKolyte was very obviously Headland's therapy session about her working for Harvey Weinstein. Shit is uncanny, really. The whole premise is young girl getting sexually groomed, killing her father figure (who encourages it, lol), and it's all supposed to be hecking empowering actually. It was really some unironically perverse, demonic shit, and it's a good thing that shit gained so much negative attention that they had to outright cancel that travesty.
>>153361096>>153361150>>153361291It's going to happen again when pic related comes out and we never get another Old Republic project again because people can't handle the ability to make your custom character a woman
>>153361411Nigga is gay as hell
>>153361440nobody had a problem with it when there were ayy woman pc options in jedi academy and kotor 2i think people are just sick of playing a star wars game and the pc is just a generic human
>>153361440That shit is going the way of SW Eclipse.
>>153361853Seriously what even happened with that
>>153363022Mix of Lucasfilm/ Disney announcing shit way too early in order to entice investors, and the dev Studio, Quantic Dream, literally not having enough devs, or even experience to make a game of this magnitude.I have no idea why this studio even got the contract if they weren't capable.
Opinion on the new walkers? Also why did they decide to use the rebels design AT AT for the ne film? Is that just gonna be the new design for the AT AT from now on?
>>153363479the show went too hard into the imperial transition for how soon after rots it is the transitions shouldn't really start until 3-4 years later when all the clones start to get phased outthat walker is also really bizarre looking, i think it's trying to emulate female british ww1 tanks but without any logic behind it
>>153361096The High Republic wouldn't have failed if it could stand on it's own legs.
>>153363525Honestly should've just made the AT-DP be the inter year new walker. So in Rebels only back water outposts & planets have them while core & key facilities have AT-ST of the original trilogy. Think of it like how home guard units often where using outdated equipment compared to frontline fighting units of WW2
>>153363607What legs? High Republic, from the start, was a project trying to usurp fan sentiment from KOTOR and it's comics, while trying to emulate the success from the Shadow of the Empire multimedia project.
Why did the Ahsoka finale acted like Thawns had this huge victory, Ahsoka can easily fix her ship and hicth hike another whale back to the galaxy, that is, if she doesn't just find a portal or something with Baylan.And Ezra being on Thrawn's ship should mean he won't even make his way back to the galaxy.I watched Rebels, and Ezra Bridger is a monster, he was raised from childhood by a group of hyper terrorist rebels, Kanan was a jedi, Hera is the best non-jedi pilot ever, Seb is a military leader and an expert fighter, and Sabine is just perfect at everything, and Ezra learned from them all. As a child, he was killing handfuls of stormtroopers on his own, as a young man, Ezra could, and did, take entire imperial bases and ships on his own, not to mention he was also trained by Maul and a Sith holocron, and know several darkside abilities, once, he made a AT-ST pilot turn on his fellow troopers and massacre them, before making him thow himself into a canyon.if the show was written in a way consistent with what came before, Ezra should be able to kill everyone in that Star Destroyer, easily.
>>153364548because filoni seems to like writing thrawn as this tactical genius despite him failing at ever pretty much everything he doesspeaking of baylan, what even is his character? all he does is vaguepost then fuck off
>>153364709>speaking of baylan, what even is his character?My guess, he's being drawn to some sort of "world between worlds" shit in some nightsister ruin in Peridia, I'm curious as to how the Hound will play him, Ray Stevenson was a good actor, but Rory McCann has to be a better lightsaber fighter than him.
>>153363479>>153363525I think it makes sense as a "first concept", it looks like a pillbox on legs, the AT-ST is evolved from this as an actual weapons platform
>>153364709>all he does is vaguepost then fuck offyeah, thats exactly all he doesand redditors think it's "deep" because he uses big words or describes basic things in a certain tone
>>153359556Isn't her destiny to get Maul tattoos and become Darth Talion?
>>153361291Harvey Weinstein's assistant legohead Leslie Hedlund and Kathleen Kennedy were so out of touch and clueless
>>153361291maybe if it was actually about the sith doing secret sith shit away from the prying eyes of the jedi instead of some weird feminist witch cult who's children managed to burn down a stone building we could've had more too it but no, instead we got something that just pissed all over the jedi, again, and focused on some glup shittos who are destined to get sheev'd anyways
>>153365584Which youtuber fed you that opinion?
>>153363022It was always meant to release in 2027, which sounds like a joke but is true
>>153364548>Ahsoka can easily fix her ship and hicth hike another whale back to the galaxyhow is she going to do this on a planet where the most advanced civilization is barely above caveman level.
>>153361096>create a new era>jedi at their peak>lame as fuck villains>barely any exploration of the force>main story told through books>formatted like the fucking mcu>so you need to read the children's books if you want to understand who these random YA protagonists are showing up randomly in the third book as the A plot>the biggest project that will get the most eyes on it is the one that marks the literal end of the era and intro to the prequelsjust all around dipshittery. the only interesting stuff with the high republic are in the random comics that came out divorced from the main story after acolyte already put the last nail in the coffin.
>>153360790>Star Wars really needs a winNo star wars needs to die along with every other long running franchise.
>>153361096Their crime was setting it only a hundred years before the PT. At least with the old republic it's set far enough that they could do anything and not have to worry about impacting the PT
>>153366335>>153361153What a silly thing to say. You couldn't feasibly tell the High Republics story roughly it being so close to the PT. It's basically the entire point.
>>153366520*You couldn't feasibly tell the High Republics story without it being so close to the PT.
>>153361637>i think people are just sick of playing a star wars game and the pc is just a generic humanIt's honestly why I love SWTOR. I think it is actually the most recent SW game that lets you play as an alien which is depressing as it is nearly 20 years old. I know we can play as an alien in the upcoming X-COM clone Zero Company so I'm eager for that.
>>153367447you'd think with the amount instantly recognizable ayys in star wars game devs would be more willing to have them as pc's or pc options but no, it's a human pc 99% of the time
>>153367501I blame it on the recent trend to have mocap for everything. It's probably harder to have it done for things that aren't aliens. Even Zero Company, so far, seems to only have humanoid aliens. I want my ugly aliens like Kel Dor, Quarren, Mon Cal, Trandoshion etc.
>>153367519Ah yes, blacks. One of the alien species of Star Wars
>>153367519it's especially embarrassing when you look back on jedi academy and it's pretty impressive pc customization i think some of it may come from how a lot of the rubber mask aliens have very constraining faces, which probably makes devs not want to botheralthough iirc tcw had a couple rubber mask ayys manage to emote pretty well, like the rodians
>>153367533at first i thought you were making a joke about the twi'lek but then i noticed the chick jej
>>153361435Take meds
>>153355036Maul does seem to be the one Sith who really seems to buy the Sith and Dark Side ideals the most. It makes sense, since he's the only one among Sidious' apprentices who was trained as a Sith since childhood. Dooku was just a placeholder and Vader doesn't get much formal Sith training.You know it'd be cool if we got some flashback scenes of Sidious training and raising Maul in his childhood.
>>153368407>You know it'd be cool if we got some flashback scenes of Sidious training and raising Maul in his childhood.Sounds like something that would be suited for a 'Tales of the Sith' series. There was also a Darth Maul miniseries comic book that had about 6 issues I think in his early years but it wasn't anything that groundbreaking.
>>153360725>slop>flop>slop>flop>slop>flopGo read a dictionary or something
>>153361435Respectfully this sounds like insane psychotic projection.
>>153363479>Also why did they decide to use the rebels design AT AT for the new film?It's the older model from the pre-Alliance period. It stands to reason that they wouldn't have scrapped the lot of them when the new version came out. They had weaker armour (defeated by aircraft guns and man-portable rockets) but were evidently still valuable enough to retain.
>>153367447Still annoyed at how The Old Republic just ended up having an identical aesthetic to the main period despite being set literally thousands of years prior.
>>153366173Ahsoka, as a teenager, fixed their crashed ship on Mortis, a planet with no tech, while Anakin and Obi Wan fucked about with the Mortis gods.
>>153367533>Ah yes, blacks. One of the alien species of Star WarsYou mean Korun, the species Mace Windu was in the EU?
>>153370409So, was Marrok already a fart cloud at this point?Both Marrok and the crow guy deflated after Ahsoka kills them, and both of them fought Maul, did Maul kill them and took them to Dathomir for some nightsister magik shit?
>>153363365Quantic dream annonced as a way to get more developers
>>153370493Seems like a stupid thing to do, but Team Clout kept making concept art and CG trailers for ILL for almost a decade, only for Mundfish to pick it up as devs and publishers, so who knows, it might work out for Quantic Dream too, given a long enough timeline.
>>153370487I think the fart cloud was him losing his noghtsister zombie magik. Maul probably kills him and then his corpse will end up reanimatedsomehow. Shame because he’s the most /fa/ inquisitor and also the most competent
>>153370487Neither of them were resurrected or whatever. Both are some kind of aliens with pressurized suits, and it's just sealed air going out. It's very clear with the Crow. In case of Marrok, Nightsister green is a different shade of green than this one. So he very much may have been alive the whole time.
>>153370563It's pretty common for Game devs to announce a game and then put up a bunch of job listings for the studio
>>153370487I think a detail people miss when marrok dies is that his body and limbs gets thinner when the "gas" leaves him, which makes me think of savage when he dies, he reverts back to normal formI definitely think marrok dies and gets resurrected, but I don't think it'll happen in this showI just don't think he should though
