Episodes 7 and 8 are up now
Is it just me or does it feel like barely anything even happened in these episodes? Devon carried the last episode hard.
>>153416782Ep 8 was a waste of time almost entirely.
>>153416650>Episode 7 is Maul taking a colossal L from two InquisitorsPowerlevelfags in shambles
>Maul flashbackNeat
>>153417115Yet he lost virtually nothing but a couple of Mando mercs, one pet Zabrak, and a ship. This show is so tame on non-stormtrooper body counts despite INSANE amounts of firepower flying around that it's irritating.
Age like shit she did. Forty, she was not
>>153417115>loses to inquisitors>doesnt have an excuse like ventress>ahsoka killed both those inquisitorsOH NO NO NO NO
>>153417238>Yet he lost virtually nothing but a couple of Mando mercs, one pet Zabrak, and a shipHe also gave up his hideout, containing most if not all his resources. Maul is literally at the end of his rope until the Crimson Dawn appears
>>153417278They were leaving anyway, and it seemed pretty clear from ep 1 it was temporary digs from the start. That doesn't even count as a loss.
Spinning is still a good trick
>>153417301>are ya spinning, son?
>>153417336They keep playing the scream too.
>>153417171Did they bring back Ian Mcdiarmid's corpse to do new lines?
I don't know if I like this show or not.
>>153417411It's dumb fun, but it's also not a story that needed telling.
>>153417357Like they could afford it. No, all we hear is him cackling in a flashback.
>>153417357No, it's Witwer doing Palpatine. And his Palpatine is pretty fucking bad. Witwer also did young Savage. And the Crow didn't even speak. Did something happen to Corey Burton or they couldn't afford him?
>>153417437animation probably took up the entire budgetwhich i'm fine with as it's better than the reverse like invincible, I wonder if this show is running the same cost as it per season?
>Maaaauuuuuuuuul~~~ :3>Was worried :333
>>153417466Don't they have Disney money? Lucasfilm animation pipeline should also be fairly efficient compared to Arcane or Invincible because the studio has been doing this for almost 20 years now
>>153417566I fucking hate that droid
>>153417582yes, but invincible has amazon money
>sizes up one of her commandos>"wait, she's kinda small?">later shot of her standing next to maul where she's significantly shorter>"wait, maul is a manlet already, how tall is she?">look it up>5ft 3inshe's tiny
Nigga thinks he's Batman.
>>153417670Should've used Eighth Brother for this job
>is your master still alive?>...unfortunately In that pause I really really really really wanted him to say "somehow" for no reason other than it would be an incredible shitpost
>>153417419This is basically what I'm waiting on. This series needs a story that justifies it existing and it just hasn't yet.
>>153417419>>153417712been saying this since it got announcedmaul can't change so anything they do to try and "develop" him is null and void because it affects nothing in later maul appeances like rebels
>>153417115After he was forced to lose to a lone padawan who hadn't done lightsaber combat training for a year and a blind Jedi, is it any surprise?
It's hilarious that these were supposedly once Jedi. And then the Emperor is like, "Let's give them sick drip (each is unique and can choose their own style) and new shiny ships and stuff!"
>>153417765An inquisitor is not necessarily a former jedi. They could be dark side users that hid themselves from the jedi during the clone wars.
>>153416782>Is it just me or does it feel like barely anything even happened in these episodes?No, it's not just you
>>153417780Pretty sure these Inquisitors in canon are all ex-Jedi. We haven't seen anyone that wasn't an ex-Jedi. Everyone in Rebels, in Jedi Fallen Order, Obi-Wan show, in the comics, in that Inquisitor Red Blade book - everyone was a Jedi that either fell to the Dark Side or was tortured into becoming an Inquisitor. They literally have a torture chamber where they break Jedi into becoming Inquisitors. They are such a weird and silly concept.
>>153417765>both Vader and Grand Inquisitor too lazy to show up to fight a former Sith Lordlmao
Kanin and Ezra were able to kill the Grand Inquisitor in the first season of Rebels. Does that mean those two are stronger than Maul?
>>153417856They are as strong as the plot needs them to be. As is the case with 99% of Star Wars. Trying to apply powerscaling as if it's some sort of hard defined RPG stat rule book has got to be the single most braindead, low IQ activities ever.
>>153417856I choose to ignore any powerscaling when it comes to rebels because it makes no sense in the context of everything else
>>153417824>They are such a weird and silly concept.Anything to skirt around Vader going to and fro hunting every Jedi personally for 20 years
>>153417918The obvious problem is that Vader has to kill every Jedi he encounters, or otherwise you are making Vader lame and turn him into a jobber. Inquisitors were created for Rebels specifically for this purpose: to not embarrass Vader. They are jobbers by design. But instead of making the infantry more skilled and dangerous (somehow Lucasfilm forgets that 99% of the Jedi were killed by grunt clone troopers, and Obi-Wan in A New Hope famously said only Stormtroopers are extremely precise), they made the infantry comically inept buffoons, and then they introduce these spinning helicopter sabers jobbers.
>>153417889>Trying to apply powerscaling as if it's some sort of hard defined RPG stat rule book has got to be the single most braindead, low IQ activities ever.Blame Lucas for introducing it into the setting with midichlorian counts and Chosen One prophecies
>>153417944To add to this, Inquisitors allow for the cheap thrill of consequence-free lightsaber fight spectacle. Lucasfilm famously cannot direct and construct tense and interesting scenes with infantry. This episode was another example of that: just two armies standing in the open with no cover, no tactics and shooting each other, with 90% of the blaster fire somehow missing X-Com style.
>>153417956Why would I blame Lucas for that? Lucas never applied powerscaling the way fans do.>Obi-Wan loses to Dooku>Dooku loses to Anakin>Obi-Wan beats Anakin>what the heck, Anakin is supposed to beat Obi-Wan, my powerscaling theory in shambles!Beat that, powerscale fags. Does not compute, does not compute, BSOD.
>>153417824Their concept is fine but their designs feel too over the top and edgy for Star Wars, especially when they're standing next to Vader. They're like something that would have been introduced in the EU during the 2000s.
>>153417993>Their concept is fineIs it, though? They are Jedi Hunters. This is Darth Vader's role. "Vader helped the Empire to hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights". They are redundant. Why does the Emperor need a bunch of Jedi, whom he ordered to be executed with no exceptions, and whom he declared traitors? Why does he need a bunch of competing Force Users, why does he spare so much resources on them, building them an entire super secret underwater fortress, giving them a fleet, ships, etc? To make the matters worse, they exist nearly up to A New Hope, making Tarkin's statements about "ancient religion" and Vader being the last remnant of it even more comical, given that he had a bunch of them running errands for him just a year ago.
>>153418014>A New HopeFiloni's favorite thing to do whilst reinventing Star Wars in his image is ignore ANH
>>153417889The inconsistency is crazy. Having Ventress losing to a single random Inquisitor when she held her own against stronger opponents before. Having Ahsoka who hadn't fought for a year one shot an Inquisitor that held his own against Maul because look how cool she is. It makes more sense to have them be weak and counteract that by working in groups of 2 to make sure they can deal with a supposedly weak Jedi while leaving Jedi Masters or former Sith Lords exclusively for Vader. Even the fuckin Kenobi show had the Grand Inquisitor join 2 others to deal with a weak ass Jedi on Tatooine.
>>153418047ventress gets an excuse of being weak because she died in her last fight and got resurrectedand ahsoka has plot armour, because about a year/year and a half prior, ahsoka lost to general grievous and had to run away (as ahsoka novel/ToTJ takes place in 18BBY, just note that they're not the same event so yes, ahsoka manages to dispatch two inquisitors while unarmed which is complete bullshit)
RIP to the guy who was voiced by the Pong Krell VA.
>>153418110>Another Nightbrother bites the dust for Maul
>>153417115>>153417252>doesnt have an excuseHis mechanical knee was glitching.
>>153418211ah oh no the darksider is injured whatever will he do, its not like the dark side draws power from pain or anything
>>153418211Strange that they had a scene with his leg getting worked on and then a scene with him training with no issue from it only to have it still be a problem to justify him losing so badly.
Whenever they start this spinning bullshit, I get Vietnam PTSD flashbacks to Rebels, thinking they're gonna fly away any moment now.
>>153418256I want them to do it because the only time they have is very briefly at the start of jedi survivor
>>153418254He fell from a big height after this scene: >>153417889So it got damaged again.
>>153417670Giggled at how he hung up mid-call.
>>153417780They added the fucking Knights of ren to the imperial era in the comics and the Emperor didn't turn them into inquisitors for some reason, they are basically a group of darkside hooligans working for the Emperor.
>ep 7 and 8 is a Maul humiliation episode where he forgets how Sith use hatred and pain to strengthen themselves and their connection to the Dark Sidei dont get why theres certain aspects of the lore they establish only to ignore it all for the sake of dramai dont need to see agonizing, wallowing maul, i want to see maul the shadow lord using pain as a weapon
lmao
>>153418543>i dont need to see agonizing, wallowing maulWell sucks to be you. Crying Maul just hit the Tumblr/SW Twitter scene like crack hit the hood in the 80s. I for one love seeing that man suffer, it makes his (rare) victories feel earned.
>>153418014Vader still needs the Inquisitorius and I don't think it's implausible that the Empire forms a special task force of traitor Jedi to help down the survivors of their organization. Like even Sion had the Sith assassins to assist with the Jedi Purge in KOTOR 2. I will agree tho that they should have been long gone by ANH, but 500 Jedi/Sith still being around during the OT is an issue endemic to the Filoniverse.
Literally me every morning.
>>153417336>>153418555
>>153418543I take quite the opposite view. Hatred and pain as a strength is BULLSHIT, a big damn cope on the part of the Sith because they're such massive cunts that they've gaslit themselves into thinking it actually works just as well as actually being open to the Force. Maul is actively trying to lean on it because it's all he knows, but it's failing him because there's only so much pain a man can endure before he falls.
>>153418543Was that not Maul using his sheer hatred of Palpatine to endure his fucked up leg and refocus his unstable mental state?
>>153418613>Like even Sion had the Sith assassins to assist with the Jedi Purge in KOTOR 2KOTOR era Sith had no membership limit, the Rule of Two (which, tbf, has always been more of a guideline) was established 3000 years after KOTOR>I will agree tho that they should have been long gone by ANHThe last Inquisitors we see timeline wise are the three on Malachor, taking place in 3 BBY. They all die there, so that could be the reasonable end of their order.And the worldbuilding of ANH has always been wonky, remember how Kenobi talks about the Clone Wars and it's a three year conflict that took place barely a generation ago.
>>153418543>>153418607>>153418652>>153418663I interpreted it as maul losing hope in his revengerevenge is all he has, he has no purpose beyond it so he had to refocus on it
30 year padawan jump scare.
>>15341882130 year old*
>>153416650>Master I'm tired of your old crusty dick! >I want young shota dick!
>>153417993The Crow looks edgy, but Marrok is just very /fa/.
So when is Devon going to rape Rylee?
>>153418881Rape is a strong wordI prefer the term snusnu
>no son of dathomir flashbacksSad!
>>153418909IMAGINE
>>153418918>no flashback of grievous killing maul's momfucking secondaries
>>153418821I would bet Maul's anus they reused Caleb Dume's model for padawan Kenobi flashback cameo.Looks similar. If I'm wrong, feel free to look for Maul's butt in Lotho Minor.
>>153418881Never. Rylee gets killed by an inquisitor before Devon can rape him and that's what turns her to the dark side
>>153418968I'm more inclined to believe Daki will get butchered by an inquisitor and Rylee gets to safety thanks to his mum
and that's what turns her on*Then she rapes his dead body.
>>153417566I love that Maul is the only one he gives a shit about or expresses any affection towards.
>>153418979Daki dies to Vader. Can't have an inquisitor actually kill a jedi
>>153418968>Kids dying in a Disney animated showLol. Lmao even.>>153418979Daki's death by the Empire pushing Devon towards Maul has been setup all season. I'd be greatly surprised by anything else.
What art are we going to get now because of crying Maul? Are women going to start saying “I can fix him”?
>>153419003
Devon getting grabbed by giant rapey alien men and channeling Clone Wars Ahsoka sass was the best.
>>153418921
No point in giving Maul ANOTHER potential apprentice, a FEMALE TWI'LEK, if she's not going to become some kind of Nu-Talon. Darth Talon's original design is too stripperiffic for Disney's audiences, but that's easy to fix.
Is Maul fighting Vader in season 1 or 2?
>>153419033>Are women going to start saying “I can fix him”?Always have been, pic relatedWe had this topic last thread >>153398669, Maul has a decent female fanbase that's quite horny for him
>>1534190782. This one is just the Inquisitors. Season 2 will need to escalate the threat, which is gonna be Vader.
>>153417765I fucking swear to gods, are those background faux "matte paintings" done with AI?
>>153419104No. They painted them on glass old school style. There's a behind the scenes video somewhere.
>>153418627same but with a cheeky wank
>>153419096>Feed him Saltine crackersMore like SATINE
>>153419119Well hats off to them if that's true
>>153419078I can't imagine them fitting Vader into this season outside of a holo-call at the end. Not enough time left.I presume we'll get Vader in a future season because Maul mentions him in Rebels. Idk when tho. I struggle to think of a good place for it timeline wise. Shouldn't be before Solo imo, but no way the show is avoiding them encountering for a decade.
>>153419096>Asajj is a womanYurikeks BTFO’d
>>153419157>Average suburban female driver
>>153419053Devon's a great fighter but she's a bit of a shit Jedi. Kind of to be expected of the generation that was forced to grow up on the battlefield.
>>153418674>S-Sidious did this to me!Nevermind the fact that his life as a dathomiri was always designed to be below dogshit as he lived in a brutal matriarchy where only one in so many men get chosen to fuck women or become a dark side user and the rest live like beasts, fighting over scraps until death.Sidious gave him so many things, opportunities. But he squandered it all over personal obsessions and mental instabilities.If he gets beaten up by inquisitors then i am not surprised as he was cut in half by a padawan.
>>153419373Don't you have an Empire to run, Sheev?
>>153419373>t.
>>153419315Oldfag jedi were spoiled monks. Newfag jedi are child soldiers. I think they are making it clear Daki's mentality is outdated as fuck and won't last any longer.>do nothing>blindly rely on others>hide away until death
By the way, the finale is gonna be May 4th 12AM local time. Meaning it will be available earlier at some parts of the world than others. Meaning it's gonna be on torrents on the 3rd.
>>153419573>May 4th 12AM local timeWhich time zone?
>>153417642Imagine
>yeah we'll animate a scene from dark disciple no problem>woah woah woah, animating a scene from son of dathomir? forget about itmake it make sense
>>153417115Maul jobbing isn't necessarily a bad thing, it adds credibility to the effectiveness of the Inquisitorius. After all, it was a 2v1 battle and Maul was already injured. The real issue lies in the choice of Inquisitors (First Brother / Marrok and Eleventh Brother) who are giving him trouble, considering both were easily defeated by Ahsoka.The First Brother could be salvaged if Maul kills him in this series, and the version seen in Ahsoka (over 20 years later) was merely a post-prime, undead husk resurrected by Nightsister witchcraft (which would explain the green mist when he gets killed). Nothing can redeem the Eleventh Brother though, he lost to an unarmed Ahsoka in like 5 seconds.
>>153417582they have access to disney money but that doesn't mean disney will give it to them. see: rebels and resistance animation quality>>153417437>Did something happen to Corey Burtonone of the more recent uses of him he didnt sound so great but idk if that was a temp issue or not
Bros I think you're all missing the Big picture on power scaling. Simply put Maul is a Bum. Understanding this fact explains why he so badly needs an apprentice. Bro knows he's cooked otherwise. Sure he got Qui Gon but Obi Wan was ready for the immediate response. Savage was hard carrying this fraud. That's why Palps made sure to pack him up. He recognized Savage as a threat and dealt with him keeping Maul as his bitch for his plans. Maul. Is. Shit.
>>153417856Power scaling in Star Wars has been retarded from the beginning, or at least TPM.
>>153417956>Chosen One propheciesStill the stupidest and most pointless shit in all of Star Wars. There's no defending it.
Maul is so fucked when Vader shows up, obviously he lives because Rebels but there's no chance in hell Vader is walking away from that confrontation injured.
>>153419157>>153419174OUTTA MY WAY SPEEDER FUCKIN SHITS
why is she so jealous of Devon? Does she wants Maul's cock all for herself even if he doesn't have a cock?
>>153420236>yeah we'll animate a scene from dark disciple no problemWhen did this happen?
>>153421355tales of the underworld, the opening part of the opening scene where ventress gets buried is lifted straight from dark disciple
>>153418047And we've already seen Maul solo 3 inquisitors easily so having him lose to 2 of them is just dumb.
>>153421202>only female and 5ft 3 in a gang filled with burly male supercommands and male dathomiriansdo you think....?
>>153421497to be fair, his robotic leg has been malfunctioning.
it sucks that Vader will probably just be a tease for season 2 like in Rebels. I hoped Vader vs Maul would be in the last episode of this season, but the series is progressing too slowly for that to happen.
>>153421617If the show was a one off then Vader vs Maul would be the finale but since we are getting a season two then Vader vs Maul would be finale for that.
>>153421525And Ahsoka didn't have her lightsaber on her when she finished the bird inquisitor in 5 seconds.
>>153421202>Be Rook Kast>Your loyalty is above question>You've betrayed everyone you ever knew and left everything behind to serve the one called Maul>You were once proud warrior of Mandalore>Now you're left fighting with petty thieves and annoying cops>The man you once followed to war is now scheming from the shadows>What is left of your retinue has grown tired of this>Your armor is as damaged and exhausted as you>But what is worse than the damage your body has sustained is what your mind has to suffer>There was a time where Maul looked upon you as his right hand>Perhaps he does still. He still trusts you with the majority of the operation>But now, there is another.>A young girl.>Worse than that, a Jedi. Ancient enemy of your people.>And yet, she is the one on Maul's mind. his priority, as you've come to realize.>Everything else has become secondary to him. His only real interest is in the little Twi'lek.>You bleed, you mourn your losses, and yet nothing seems enough in his pursuit of an apprentice.>How much more can you take?>You already know the answer.>And when the red sun rises, you remember.>The first and only reality of the Sith.>There can only be two.>You have been replaced.
yeah bro my name is literally clan house
>>153421752Ahsoka is special, please understandSeriously though, there are just a fuckton of non-movie characters that should logically change everything but don't because everyone needs to add an OC to the universe or bring back people that really should have just diedI just consider everything outside of the movies a lost cause until they're proven to be worth remembering
>>153421945>Character works for the law and has a son>Name him LawsonA proud Star Wars tradition
Good Dathgoy
Reminder:>Coleman Kcaj>Oppo RancisisSurvived the Order 66.
That show is a fucking humiliation ritual. Will maulsisters ever recover?
>>153422125every jedi we didn't see die in the montage in rots survived order 66
Is there really any difference between a Sith Lord and an Inquisitor? Inquisitors seem just as competent as any sith.
>>153421490Ah. I never watched any of the Tales of the X stuff aside from whatever the Dooku one was.
>>153422159inquisitors arent trained in the ways of the sithyou got the sith lordsthen the apprentice non-lord sith (ventress, savage, quinlan vos)then you got the inquisitors
>>153422159>>153422184inquisitors are somehow beneath dark jediif they were just random thugs given lightsabers without any prior affiliation to the jedi i would find them more believable
>>153422134>Implying the humiliation isn't precisely what maulfags like
>>153422134He's doing well in Solo so this is all meaningless.
>>153420974>but there's no chance in hell Vader is walking away from that confrontation injured.Didn't stop obi-wan from beating his ass. God that show was unbelievably bad.
>>153422308i forget, did kenobi rip off fallen order or survivor or was survivor the bandaid the studio came up with to try and fix the problems kenobi caused for the prior game
>>153422372Fallen order. Survivor came out a year after Kenobi.
>>153420974>Maul is so fucked when Vader shows upHalf a man vs quadruple amputee, who would win?>no chance in hell Vader is walking away from that confrontation injured.I do agree Maul is unlikely to match Vader. But Vader's armor has consistently been broken or at least damaged when facing strong opponents.The most likely scenario is Vader and Maul fight, with Vader slowly taking control of the fight and probably shittalking Maul for a bit, until Devon (at this point Maul's apprentice) arrives and activates an airlock or something to break up the fight.It'll be the narrative turnpoint of the remaining series, acknowledging 1. Maul can't actually beat the Empire and 2. Devon is outgrowing him. Presuming this duel happens years later btw, not just next season. Idk how to make it fit in the narrative then.
>Maul was directly related to SavageI could have sworn they were only brothers in the sense that they belonged to the same clan
>>153416650Why did this show flounder and flop?
>>153422539no, they were always biological brothers
>>153422539It's strange because nightbrothers use brother and mother as titles as well, but they are indeed related.
i thought this showed aired on Tuesdays i've been watching it a day late kek
please no vader vs maul that would be so fanservicey and stupid for the love of god
>>153418047When Ashoka kills Marrok the green Nightsister junk comes out of him. He was probably reanimated/undead and not his peak. We'll see if he dies or gets horribly injured in this show.
>>153422760we already know that maul is spooked of vader thanks to rebels, so the two of them meeting is something that does happen
>>153421677The season 2 finale may be a Maul vs Sidious rematch tho, where Maul almost manages to win
>>153422159One of several reasons the prophecy was a retarded concept.
>>153422814Sidious shouldn't have time for that, hence Vader to handle the cleanup. Sidious would just want to watch anyway.
Maul had a hard life...
>>153423139half of it is self imposed and he's just wallowing in self pity
>>153423064but Maul wants to find Sidious and kill him. That's his whole goal
>>153416782i don't understand why all these show have filler episodes when they're on a limited runtime you should not need them in 10 episode seasons, the plot should be written to comfortably fit within the time given when they knew ahead of timei wouldn't be surprised if the season could be shaved down to 6 episodes without losing anything important by the time this is done
>>153417115>>153417856This is Filoni's fault for making Inquisitors job to Ahsoka every fucking time. This show and Fallen Order had to work overtime to make them feel threatening again.
>>153423587even in fallen order they weren't that impressive considering the all fail to the same padawani'm not a powerlevelfag but maul losing to these shithead is just not believable, even with a busted leg
>starwars.com confirms that marrok and crow's inclusion was because filoni wanted themwe could have had literally any other inquisitors....we could have had trilla....seventh sister....ninth sister....
>>153423639>maul has to deal with the two inquisitors he isn't allowed to kill because ahsoka has to later all filoni does is prevent other projects from being better because they might upstage ahsokait has to be what he's doing at this point
>>153423629>even in fallen order they weren't that impressive considering the all fail to the same padawanOr Cal Kesis is just that impressive>>153423639Trilla is not an Inquisitor yet by this point, she would be on the run with Cere at this point in the timeline
>>153423639>trillaFor what purpose? She had her story and character fully developed, and she is very tied to Fallen Order game and its characters in particular. For what reason Trilla should be a part of this story other than "member Trilla, now clap"?>seventh sister....ninth sister....Literally who?Marrok and Crow are by far the best Inquisitor designs they have ever come up with, they didn't have much spotlight and they deserve it. They fit well with the vibe of this show. Sounds like you just bitch for the sake of bitching.
>>153423704Sounds like you have Filoni Derangement Syndrome.
>>153423721>For what reason Trilla should be a part of this story other than "member Trilla, now clap"?The story calls for an Inquisitor. There's like twelve of them in total. Any appearance is justifiable.
>>153423719cal never struck me as a particularly powerful jedi in both fallen order and survivor he seems pretty run of the mill, which is finebut the inquisitors constantly jobbing to padawans in almost all of their appearances makes them pretty non threatening at the best of times, and outright unbelievable when they go toe to toe against an opponent much stronger than that
>>153423758Trilla wouldn't work in this story. She is just a human woman. Marrok and Crow are like some creepy wraiths - there is nothing human about them, they are much more effective as villains for this story, where the protagonist is Darth Maul, a devil looking man himself. They are much scarier. Trilla had her spotlight, she was the main antagonist of an entire videogame, her story was fully fleshed out. She doesn't need any more spotlight.
>>153423763>cal never struck me as a particularly powerful jedi in both fallen order and survivorHe has a strong connection to the Force. Psychometry is a rare skill, so is Force Stasis.And unlike Ahsoka, he was trained by an actual Jedi Master. On a slightly related note, I don't know why Ahsokafags think being trained by Anakin means something. He was a bad Jedi and a worse teacher. It's not like being in his presence means you get to inhale some of his midichlorians.
>>153423639He really wanted to show how OP Ahsoka is compared to Maul
>>153423831Ahsoka is the key to all this.
>>153423888*keyhole
I'd like to apologize to Devon. I thought she couldn't be the Sith seductress Talon was, but her sass has proven me wrong. Plus, she has all the charm of peak teen Ahsoka without actually being Ahsoka, which is a huge W.
>>153423719>Trilla is not an Inquisitor yet by this point, she would be on the run with Cere at this point in the timelineincorrect
>>153423830i think cal having psychometry is supposed to be a little bonus for not being super strong, not because he is particularly powerful i think it's neat, some jedi having an innate special connection to the force that others may have to train immensely foras for teachers, i think people claim ahsoka is so powerful because anakin was her teacher is ironically because of the force unleashed starkiller was bonkers strong and was trained by vader, so of course ahsoka should be the same because she was trained by anakinnever mind that starkiller's power was almost entirely for gameplay purposes, and was toned down a lot in the novelization
>>153423934Stormtroopers appear in her flashback, not TK Troopers
>>153423860>>153423932tighten up her bra and undergarment and i could be convinced that she could be nutalon
>>153423985stormtroopers appear in the same vader comic in 18BBYhowever thanks for pointing that out, I can use it for anyone arguing ToTU takes place later due to stormtroopers (when it doesnt)
It's sad how braindead most of Star Wars fans are when all they can think about is unironic powerscaling faggotry, and they think it's somehow a valid observation, understanding or critique of the story. I shouldn't be surprised, it's a franchise for 12 year olds after all, and most of Star Wars fans probably never really grew up past that mental age.
why didnt darth maul just force choke the inquisitors while their guard was down? ventress did it to obi and anakin
>>153424024God, these comics are butt ugly. Why would anyone waste their time on this low effort crap.Also, despite what Disney say, none of the printed media is real canon. Most of the people working on the shows don't know they exist, and it is always retconned as we've seen every single time. As far as the visual on screen media goes, regular stormtroopers were five years after Revenge of the Sith as seen in Jedi Fallen Order, and TK troopers were one year after Revenge of the Sith.
>>153423981>as for teachers, i think people claim ahsoka is so powerful because anakin was her teacher is ironically because of the force unleashedShe jobbed to this rando and that was after decades of additional training in the post-ROTJ era, so clearly she's not.Filoni just thinks Inquisitors should be useless and unthreatening Scooby Doo-tier villains. If Ahsoka jobbed to Offee and Maul, any Inquisitor should be a pretty even fight.
>>1534240782 different armours can exist at the same time anon
>>153424080>If Ahsoka jobbed to Offee and MaulNTA but those same fans claim ahsoka beat maul in a duel because she captured him....despite very clearly losing
>>153424054he forgot how to do that he simply doesn't have the knowledge anymore
>>153424101We've never seen it on screen and it's just your headcanon, sorry. Headcanon is not a valid argument, since it isn't actually backed up by anything on screen. Call me back when we see TK troopers and regular stormtroopers together in any show or videogame. To anyone watching the shows, and to people developing them, it's pretty obvious that this is meant to show design evolution and thus the passage of time.
>>153420364Well yeah, they're clearly getting owned in this season and later rezzed.
>>153424163yes, but tales of the underworld takes place in 18BBY, which depicts stormtroopers, despite later things timeline-wise depicting TK troopers
>>153422159Inquisitors are jedi trained by Vader via methods of punitive vivisection.
>>153423860>tummyokay
>>153424198>yes, but tales of the underworld takes place in 18BBYWe don't know when it takes place. All we can conclude is that it takes place after Bad Batch, because no TK Troopers. Which means it is much later than 18 BBY. Anything else is your headcanon. If they wanted to reinforce the idea of regular stormtrooper armor being available as early as 18 BBY, they would have used it in this show. They have the assets from Tales of the Underworld, obviously. They didn't. Which means we are supposed to think the classic stormtrooper armor hadn't been developed yet. Please, use some logic. Thank you.
>>153424276>We don't know when it takes place. All we can conclude is that it takes place after Bad Batch, because no TK Troopers.yeah....about that...starwars.com (and thus lucasfilm) says differently
>>153424320I wouldn't take what's written on StarWars.com website at face value. Filoni and Michnovetz don't run the website. She was obviously "resurrected" before she met the Bad Batch. But the timeline of the things that happened later isn't exactly clarified. Even her resurrection is retarded, given that it's depicted as if she was resurrected practically the moment after Vos and Kenobi left, so she was alive during the end of the Clone Wars already? Shit is confusing and honestly sucks.
>>153424385starwars.com also contains the databank, which is a wiki that despite lacking in detail, is better than wookieepedia because it's more accuratethey also double down in a release/chronological order article, placing it before TBB (although obviously cannot be, but the article doesnt split by season, the important part is that its not placed after TBB)the asterix is just a "tales takes place over multiple points in time due to anthology format"
>>153424444bit basically, the intention is that those episodes take place during TBB, but before S3 E9i'd say between S2 "truth and concequences" (due to the defense recuitment bill and formal introduction of the stormtrooper) and S3 "the harbinger", most likely during the S3 E1 mid-episode timeskip
>>153424444This placement makes no sense given that we literally see Order 66 in The Bad Batch, therefore it should be placed directly after RotS. Like I said, the website shouldn't be taken at face value, and even their chronological order of Clone Wars episodes is incorrect.
>>153424502anon did you read the comment I attached to it, I explained that already as it doesnt split by season and it's looking at the intention with the placement rather than where it's actually placedif ventress' episodes were after, they'd have placed tales after TBB, and if they were using cad bane's episodes as a basis for the placement, they'd place it before TPM or AoTC or somethingagain, just going off of intent with that image, as it's not the best and they really should split things by season (and character for tales)

Maul is turning good isnt he? Disney would never allow a bad guy as the protagonist
>>153425520i don't think he'll ever be a 'good guy' but they're definitely making him more sympathetic so he's less 'evil' if they can do it to bo katan they can to it to maul, past atrocities be damned
>>153425395>>153419157Are Twi'leks asian?
>>153425520Not really. He's not "good". He's just not as bad as the worst guys in the room (Palpatine and Vader). His goals may be noble and right, taking down Palpatine and the Empire, but they still stem from the desire for vengeance, and the ways he will go about it are obviously not good, with all the Criminal Syndicates and stuff.
>>153425520>>153425608He is still bad, his world view and psyche are twisted and fucked up, and his methods are bad, but he is relatable and sympathetic.
>>153425585No, they're black. They're French African colony.
this is what i crave. But Disnoli would never
>>153425585they're consistently 'vaguely ethnic' for a minute there was a push for togruta's to be jewish, but afaik they're culture was always more native american inspired
>>153425630the only good scene in this utterly boring childrens show
>>153425520>>153425608>>153425630Maul is a bad guyBut he's not "the bad guy" of this story. He's a checker piece to someone playing chess. In a race track he's the dark horse.
>>153425719I hope they redo it for Maul Shadow Lord grand finale from Maul's point of view entirely and cut Ezra out completely. Forcing people to go watch fucking Rebels after Shadow Lord is just insane troll, especially since Maul is like in 3 episodes of that shit.
>>153420988THEY GOT IT ALL BLOCKED OFF
Somehow Wat Tambor returned.
I want to kill TwoBoots
the powerscaling is fucked
>>153426501>powerscaling
>>153426501>ahsoka btfo's both inquisitors despite having only 2 years of formal training under anakin>maul loses despite having at least 10 under a sith lordi'm not a powerlevelfag, but something doesn't add up here at least in the films every fight more or less made sense, obi beat maul by pulling a move maul wasn't expecting, dooku beat anakin and obi wan because he was the better warrior, anakin beat dooku because he had grown stronger and dooku was going easy on him (at least in the novelization)obi beats anakin because he trained him, and saw that anakin was going to pull the move he beat maul with and correctly countered it
>>153426573This is the funniest
I never use this term but we're in plot armor hell. No one prominent in this series is allowed to die because they all die in Rebels
>>1534266482B00T isn't Devon isn't or Tyler (however weird alien way you spell their name)
>>153426648That's nearly all Star Wars has been since the prequels. It's all prequels and interquels where main characters can't die. But I don't mind this. I'll take this as long as the characters are cool and entertaining and the story is good over some nobodies with an illusion of tension (there is never any real tension for anyone but the mentor character, everyone else lives on to become a glup shitto), who are lame and the story is gay (*ahem* Rebels and Bad Batch).
>>153426655tie-ler he's the one who designs the tie fighters and they're named after him
>>153426648the turtle jedi has no plot armor and is destinated to die
>>153421993how the fuck did i not realize
>>153426777That's not-NoooooReally? Is that why they're called that?
>>153416901No, it was kino.
>>153417115>it took two inquisitors to defeat a handicapped ex-sithYeah, such a W for them
>>153417301S I C K
>>153418201Why is always yellow?
>>153426501>>153426612what "doesnt make sense" here is ahsoka, and this only proves how much plot armour she actually hasahsoka loses to maul in TCW, yet a year later she can apparently 1v1 an inquisitor while disarmed and win....yet maul has already previously lost to this inquisitor ahsoka powerscaling is what's fucked, you have to point out her lossesbaylan is just a guy, yet he can beat ahsokais he somehow equal to vader? it makes no sensesure, both ahsoka can maul can't die, but ahsoka cannot get injured, maul can
>>153427753stop caring about powerscaling like a third world loser and all your "problems" go away
>>153427753He is a master of Jedi arts and Sith Arts. What he isn't a master of is the Empire. Hope this helps!
>>153418543All aura and no struggle is quite a sloppy deal
>>153418765>I won't allow him to hurt anyone again Maul's about to be full of shit acting like his evil plans will make him a hero and I'm all in for it
>>153419054One could say a Maul show focusing on a cast aside from the title character would be a deal breaker. But over the past month these five have really grown on me.
>>153419096>Maul thirsted over since '99 with the public being none the wiserFascinating
>>153417301Sheev taught him too well. How was he not the superior apprentice? Vader never fucking spins.
>>153419157Am I the only one who vibed with the faux euro trance score from this sequence?
>>153419159Jedi Survivor managed twice
>>153429243maul is the only one of sheev's apprentices who was actually taught as a formal sith all the way throughboth dooku and anakin were jedi he converted it's one of the reasons why i don't like it when people claim that sheev only trained maul as a stop gap to anakin, when it's the opposite in reality anakin was the plan b after maul died
>>153429526Well everything seems to point otherwise
>>153429243>How was he not the superior apprentice?He got cut in halfWe talk about how Anakin being more machine than man tempers his force potentialNo way Maul being half of who he was before doesn't weaken him the same way.
>>153429594only after tpm released in the actual film there's nothing to suggest anything but maul being sheev's formal apprentice
>>153429526>maul is the only one of sheev's apprentices who was actually taught as a formal sith all the way through>both dooku and anakin were jedi he convertedAnakin/Vader was converted, but to say he wasn't trained in the ways of the Sith is just wrong. He was a Sith longer than he was a Jedi and arguably was a Sith as long or longer than Maul was. Ain't no way Sheev had him for upwards of 24 years and didn't train him at all in that time.>>153429629It doesn't weaken him. It doesn't weaken either of them. Both are alive and thus are connected to the Force. How much biomass is irrelevant. Both still have more biological mass than Yoda did and that never stopped Yoda from becoming as powerful as he did. As long as you are connected to the Force, and still actively use it, your "potential" never goes away. And also, given how the Force was tipped out of balance to the Dark Side, Maul and especially Vader would've only gotten more powerful. As we certainly know Vader did as his powers continued to skyrocket after his prosthesis which of course resulted him ins becoming one of the two most powerful Sith lords in their order's entire existence and one of the most powerful mortal Force wielders to ever live.
>>153430126It's a retroactive franchise, no intel is ever isolated to a single entry
>>153421993Shouldn't he be "Outlawson" by now?
BTW, here's all the trailer material we have yet to see.
>>153430532a lot of those look like they're from the same scene, which seems to be maul attacking a imperial base or depot
>>153422134Maulchads live to see him beaten and grieving. You just don't get it.
>>153422539>>153422644>>153422672I have to theories that they may have different parents, either:a) All three are Tazlin's sons but Maul was conceived by a different father than Savage and Feral. Talzin fell in love with Maul's dad and that's why she favors him.b) All three have the same father but only Maul is Talzin's son and that's why she cares for him the most.
>>153423639Eh, I like that they already dive deep on already existing characters rather than coming up with more throwaway OCs
>>153423721Also could be because they already had the cgi models and it would save them money
>>153423860Plot twist: This is not the future and Devon is actually that much developed for her age.
>>153425011Underrated post, last one got a weeze out of me
>>153425520He'll never, watch Rebels.>>153425655True
>>153418234That is not how the dark side works.If that bullshit was true, Sheev would be the weakest sith to ever exist.
>>153417115Maul sucked in Rebels pretty badly to the point where the cast thought he was more annoying than threatening. This is no better.Filoni just doesn't like the guy.
>>153430838Yeah he hates him so much that he always brings him back every couple of years.
>>153425608He's a bad guy but he's also a victim. Got stuck with old mate Sheev at what, 12? He never had a chance.
>>153418881>>153418921I can just imagine, a twilek dominatingly twileking, can't get the sound of thighs slapping against his pelvis out of my head.
>>153420364Maul had no problems killing the inquisitors in Rebels. He should have no problem here.
>>153431375Fifth and Seventh were punks.
>>153431378The inquisitors in this series seem to come off far stronger than the grand inquisitor. Less dicking around. More ruthless and skilled.
>>153431378grand, second, fifth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and eleventh all got bodied either by jedi with padawan training at best or by maulthem posing any threat to maul at all is laughable and that's probably why marrok and crow were chosen; maul can't kill them because ahsoka has to later
>>153431375>force choked one and threw his lightsaber at her head while she couldn't do anything>ahsoka disarms the whatever brother and maul cuts him downNot exactly a display of martial skill from Maul there.
I hate Witwer's VA for Sidious. He just sounds so off so when I heard him instead of based Ian it disappointment me a bit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_47yG4OGYo
>>153427267Le contrarian /co/Ep 8 was Nothing Happens, the episode.
>>153430838>to the point where the cast thought he was more annoying than threateningUntil he blinded Kanan, who thought he was hot shit for beating the Grand Inquisitor. Maul suckering the Ghost crew into thinking he was a broken wreck desperate for allies was kino.
>>153430887Better 12 than how it went down in the EU, when Sheev took him as an infant and let droids raise him until he could function
>>153431442>Le contrarian /co/>proceeds to act contrarian It's like some people are allergic to self awareness
>>153431536As allergic as some who think re-hashing flashbacks telling us shit we already know and breaking out of jail to get nowhere isn't padding time because the story is too weak to cover 10 eps
>>153431598Man you really are watching this thing the wrong way
>>153431466I'm pretty sure anon is refering to Maul's treatment after Malachor.He gets really desperate after losing out on the Sith artifact. The confrontations between him and the Rebels crew lack any sense of danger. Tbf the same goes for Thrawn, having either of them appear in Rebels really limits the amount of Aura they could've had.
>>153431608Cope, ep 8 was pure filler
What are we thinking about Maul having PTSD and childhood trauma relating to Sheev? On one hand, it's understandable and reflects his arc of being a disposed tool. But on the other hand I am BORED of the Disney routine of constantly humanising villains.
>>153431622Dilate, it progressed the story just fine
>>153431637The Pandora's Box was opened when Lucas brought him back. I'm fine with humanizing everyone except Sheev, who should pretty much be Satan. Worse than Satan because Sheev enslaved the whole universe for twenty years.
>>153431672What progress? Maul lying in a puddle like a bitch, or the gang on the lam having a getaway ship arranged and ready UNTIL----! never mind...?
>>153431691Thankfully it looks like Disney have leaned more into Sheev being pure unredeemable evil which I like. Even in the EU there was the shit theory that Sheev only did what he did to protect the galaxy against the Vong.
>>153431691One of things I do like about Disney canon is each time you see Sheev he is just pure black evil. Not a hint of "actually he's doing it for the greater good to prepare against whatever", he's just fucked.
>>153431697It reignited Maul's purpose. It was vital for his arc.Plus it gave 2 Boots some deserved development.
>>153431794Awesome
>>153431827>It reignited Maul's purpose. It was vital for his arc.He already had that goal, they established it in ep 2 that he was out for vengeance.>Plus it gave 2 Boots some deserved developmentThey telegraphed that flip since ep 5. No surprise in that face turn back to being Lawson's pet.
whoever runs my dodgy stick is not putting the new episodes of Maul on it fuck you man
>>153431841Being reminded of why he chose his path and coming out more resolute is always good.
How old is Rook Kast meant to be?And is she involved with maul sexually?
>>153425720Why was Zangief even included there? American boomer humor just because he was from the USSR? In Street Fighter he isn't a bad guy at all.
>>153432550In TCW she looked like she was in her 20s, but now she looks like she's in her 40s even though this takes place only a few years later.
>>153432607Meanwhile, a true Mandalorian woman in her 50s. War crimes are good for you.
>>153432607Westerners really have a serious obsession with adding these lines to their female designs and ruining them.
>>153432550She's just a true believer. Maul didn't job for once against Pre Vizla so she still follows him to see if that was a fluke or not.
>>153432654>>153432607it's her isn't it?
>>153432733Doubt it, all the guys from the tribe were there since childhood.
>>153432733why would she change her helmet and join an orthodox Mandalorian sect?
>>153431637>constantly humanising villainsIf anything, it can make them better characters. TCW Dooku was pretty much a mustache-twirling villain from a saturday morning cartoon, TotJ Dooku actually shows the fundamentally good intentions of this character before his fall and disgrace.As long as they don't try to humanize Sheev, it's fine.

>>153432884that's probably the electricity from it shocking his skin stump
I don't think I can watch this because I'll just be sad we never got to see George's story completed ;_; I'll just wish I was seeing Episode VII with Maul and Talon instead
>>153432607TCW S7 looks ass compared to son of dathomir and star wars legion art
>>153432851bald men are so fucking back
I get Stormtroopers having bad aim is a meme but that bridge battle was comical.Surrounded on both sides with just a hail of blaster fire raining on them on a narrow bridge and not a single 1 of Mauls men was hit.And Maul wasn't even there for most of it to deflect the blaster fire.
>>153433027first time watching Disney Wars?
>>153432868I perfectly read it in his voice
>>153434790It's impressive how zero femininity they gave her
>>153431637>Disney routine of constantly humanising villains.Which is a really weird thing for Star Wars of all franchises to do that. The very series where bad guys wear black and have names like Evil-O KillStabber and Meanmad Puppykick
>>153416650Weakest episodes so far desu. Nothing happened except Maul getting dunked on by fucking inquistors of all people.At least the twi-human lust was still strong.
>>153432733Douby it, but she was clearly one of Maul's crew with the horns.
>>153431734>Even Sheev realizes the prophecy is retarded
>>153434907They made a humanizing orgin story about a woman who wanted to skin puppies.
>>153431466Maul is basically Star Wars Wile E Coyote. That annoying recurring villain that shows up, makes a lot of weird mustache twirling plans, they blow up, he gets blown up too, but somehow crawls back a little while later with a new plan.
>>153434959You think Filoni is dumb enough to have Maul appear post Episode 4 with half a cyber face?
>>153434989Filoni brought back Boba Fett who was very obviously dead. Only to make a really shitty series no one wanted with even more annoying shades of gray, he's not really all that bad bullshit. He never fucking stops bringing back Ahsoka or any Ghost crew in whatever the fuck he is making. I expect Filoni to never ever let a character actually die and remain dead. No mater who it is.
>>153434907And we already got Bishie>He's not evil, only the jedi misunderstand him!diet coke sith guy in Acolyte who complains about being terribly misjudged...after he killed several people on screen.Evil jedi guy in Ahsoka also complained about being misjudged too. Forces of Darkness only seemed to make out most villains as innocent victims of circumstance.
>>153431794God bless you anon
>>153419483>When you find out you aren't the main character of the storyLol I just saw the episode. Storm trooper really just couldn't make the jump. I like when they show troopers not making it, without Jedi or force or blaster interception.
>>153435280
>literally everything goes horribly wrong>"hmmm yes the plan is still intact"Im starting to get the feeling this Maul guy doesn't know whats hes doing.
>>153431794
>>153435425I save episode 8 as a treat for myself. Honestly it's been fun watching the episode with you guys. I'm genuinely enjoying this show, which most times comes with a lot of irony if talking about star wars. Jedi master is the worst character but I think that's by design. You could tell he survived as long as he did by choosing the coward choice disguising it by protecting her Padawan, who seems to be getting sick of his shit now. We talked about blue lightsaber vs red lightsaber good guys vs bad guys, but I pike in the guns the good guys shoot to phase blue circles and the bad guys shoot to kill red lasers.
>>153418918>I'm not like you, I never was.Savage didn't say that. I saw that fight 50 times. Is Maul lying to himself?
>>153423932>>153423860would
>>153435521>Savage didn't say that."You must have your revenge." is Savage's dialogue from right after Maul's resurrection. I suppose they combined it for this scene because of the revenge on Sidious narrative.
>>153423932>>153423860modern Talon wouldn't show as much skin
I'm geninunenly shocked by how good this thing is. This is by far the best looking animated 3d show since Arcane S1 and the story and characters have been super enjoyable.Devon is the first young jedi in the history of this franchise to be actually likeable, cool and not annoying. Hope people write tons of fanfiction of Maul grooming her and having wholesome but rough sex with her every night.
>>153436093I use to think I ship her and tieler. But I come to realize I just want them to have babies together. Of I was a sith lord I'd lock them up into whatever is the space equivalent of a love hotel until Devon was pregnant and they're both a sweaty soppping mess.
>>153424028>i-it's actually a good thing that characters never progress in talent and fluctuate in combat whenever the lazy writing requires!!
>>153426501>>1534266121. The writing for anything involving Ahsoka since the og CW ended has been terrible so you can't take her fights against the inquisitors seriously from a plot perspective.2. Filloni is clearly doing the inquisitors this season based on criticism that they weren't threating enough, so they made them way more skilled and scary. And tbf it does kinda work, getting Maul kicked around a bit is worth it if it means the empire's enforcers are actually scary.3. Maul is fighting with a broken leg.
Is this the first star wars thing to not have a single annoying character? Everyone is a blast, even Maul's droid and Two Boots are actually likeable and charming.
>>153436241two boots' voice actor takes me out of it. his voice doesnt match star wars, vario is the typical annoying boss turned stooge type and got old by the time they let him out of his bank vault jail cell permanently
>>153436296I have a guilty pleasure for 2boots because Krapopolis
Clip from Episode 9 or 10(Posted by @starwars on Twitter)Full quality link: https://files.catbox.moe/9z3wab.mp4So I guess everyone is teaming up to leave Janix? Idk why Maul is bringing the whole family along lol. That look Devon gave him at the end tho...

took a while until they found that focusing on one planet alone works pretty good instead of jumping between storylines and planets every episode.
>>153436714>idk why maul is bringing the whole family along almost certainly to further manipulate devon i think daki is going to get killed by an inquisitor/ maul will let him get killed with plausible deniability and use tieler/ lawson as a reason for devon to become his apprentice so she can protect them
>>153437094I’m glad that we’re getting a visibly big urban city too. So bored of the constant desert or empty biomes from most Star Wars settings
>>153437183who the fuck is tieler
>>153437634The son
>>153437661you mean rylee?
>>153437634the son of lawfamous for creating the tie fighter, which he named after himself

>>153437799>cringe force balancer wants the force to be equal parts normal and dark side>dark side immediately tries to usurp this balance the second it becomes possible and people still think that balance means equal parts jedi and sith
God dammit. Maul is a SITH LORD. He should not be struggling against Inquisitors! Bum leg or not, he's better than this!
>>153439306If he too good then he would get too much attention
>>153439306hes just a dark sider now, he stopped being a sith when he got cut in half. he has whatever sith teachings he got from before that, but that's the limit.
>>153439306His leg was fucked up and it was 2v1. Also the death of his Nightbro unbalanced him because it reminded him of Savage.
>>153440162That should have made him even stronger with a rage dark side boost.
>>153440281That's not how it works. It's not a videogame. He was not locked in, distracted and injured.
>>153440297it worked for kyle ben in tfa
>>153440297It worked for Anakin and Luke.
>>153440318You mean the guy who lost to a girl who had never held a lightsaber? Lmao.>>153440333You mean the guy who got chopped to pieces and burned alive because his arrogance blinded him and he did some retarded move? Luke also wasn't injured, and he beat an old cripple who did not even want to fight him.Stop being retarded guys. I know Star Wars attracts retards, but it's too much.

>>153417967>Lucasfilm famously cannot direct and construct tense and interesting scenes with infantry.Andor i guess, had some good ones, but other than that, we would have to go all the way back to Tartakovsky's Clone Wars
>>153440924>we would have to go all the way back to Tartakovsky's Clone WarsYou mean the shit where two cartoon blobs run into each other and shoot lazers? Or just stand completely still not even shooting back and let themselves get killed while the opposing force farms aura? Dunno, I don't want to go back to that.
>>153441064probably just the first episode of that show, but Star Wars rarely, if ever, does good military gunfights as a franchise
>empire decides to plan one last attempt at wiping out the new republic>gets all their ships together>lure the new republic into a giant battle>over jakku?>the new republic takes the bait>for some reason??>only win because a third empire is kicking around strong enough to beat both groups>but THAT empire gets wiped out by all of the criminals in the galaxy working togetherwho writes this shit
>>153441652what?
>>153441800how to spoondick hard in the butttiddy in my handkiss ya neckhell yeah
>>153441355Republic Commando game is the only thing that did it well. They even hired an ex-Spec Ops guy to help the devs with the tactics and animation. It's crazy that no Star Wars property hires a military consultant despite WAR and armies being a large part of it.
>>153441800sorry i just read the shitty battle for jakku comic
>>153442523That barely even touches the battle of Jakku. Can't believe they kept that writer for the post ROTJ comics
>>153432733>it's her isn't it?No, it's not. The Armorer is too busy hiding on Concordia, taking care of children like Din Djarin and Paz Vizsla who were abandoned by Death Watch. The Children of The Watch, if you will.
Actually maul is a hero...
>>153443376That's good angst
>>153443376I can't remember when's the last time I saw good writing or even writing that made me feel sympathetic for the protagonist. Talking specifically about star wars.
>>153443376The ironic thing is that even though he may mean that in the moment, his upbringing is just so steeped in the Dark Side that he wouldn't know any better from not perpetuating it himself. Ahsoka really was right. Even if he did manage to kill Sheev, Maul would just take his place and he'd be no better for the galaxy.
>>153443487Andor just came out
>>153416782Is it good or does it devolve in to girl bossery with maul doing nothing?
>>153419075I thought the whole point of the show is how he trains his apprentice to become Talon.
>>153443813Like a year ago
>>153443813Yeah, I guess I could give that a watch. I remember being bored episode 2 but I heard good things about it
>>153443832Everything is bad under that mentality
>>153434785I’M NOT A PERFECT PERSONNNNNN
>>153443832Mauo definitely does something, but the show does a good job at putting Maul by himself away from everyone else. Devon was fun, she's that right age of a fun spunky padawon. It's less like they feel the need to make the males useless and more like level headed. Devon drives the getaway ship, is she the only one who could pilot? NoIs she even a good pilot? She's good enough. Other people in the shop get things to do, so it isn't just Devon.
>>153443902nvm dont watch it lol
I want more Maul AMVs to be made from this series and I want them set to songs by Three Days Grace
>maul hitting his reflection and going I hate youHoly cringe
Darth Maul talks like a Redditor.
>>153443552Maul is not nearly as depraved as Palpatine is.Maul is not as power hungry. I think he'd be satisfied being a crime lord, and having Palpatine dead. He would want to reform the Sith teachings to return to its roots, and be more focused on personal strength than the mind games and torture.
>>153445140maul would probably do well in the pre revan era of sith not sure how well he'd do during and after that though
I could see Maul agreeing to have a co existence between Jedi and Sith. He has no aspirations for hunting them, or any love for taking control of the emprie.
>>153445140Nah. Craving more power is the end point of Sith ideology. “One to embody power and the other to crave it.” That’s just what Dark Side does to you.You give Maul a taste of power and he immediately wants more. But he’s no Palpatine, so his schemes are fruitless.
>>153445234I think that's only because he doesn't view himself as a Sith any more and doesn't follow their ideologies. He's a dark side unaligned force user. He wants to do what he wants to do and be left alone at that. The Jedi would have more of an issue with him existing than vice versa.
>>153445140We've seen the shit he pulled to get Obi-Wan's attention. Motherfucker was doing Mexican Cartel executions just to piss him off.
Starting to think Vader was a fake leak
>>153445617He obviously appeared via the hologram a few episodes back as he is the only one the Inqs would likely interact with on a formal basis as Sheev would likely have nothing to do with them. Whether he makes a physical appearance I don't know, but if Maul kills Marrok, Vader may be what's needed to get them all to flee leading to s2.
>>153445644It was Palpy. He has a vested interest in getting rid of Maul.
>>153445617No, it was an official character poster. Same with Vos.
>>153445738I think Sheev doesn't give a shit about Maul at this point. There's literally nothing he can do and he probably likes that there's a potential threat and rival to Vader to keep him active too.
>>153445617What Vader Leak? The only thing we got concerning Vader was a LEAKED promo poster, saying ALL EPISODES STREAMING NOW. We have similar leaks of a poster with Dryden Voss abotver containingDevon with a red lightsaber.If you heard anything else about Vader it's fan theory.
All this Maul love made me rewatch the episode where he dies in Rebels and it is such a perfect ending to his arc. One of the very few high points of Rebels.It's also something Ahsoka would have benefited from too.
>>153439306>He should not be struggling against Inquisitors!He got sliced in two by a padawan.
>>153439306Maul is the "snatched defeat from the jaws of victory" saying in humanoid form.
>>153446034if you want to get technical maul 'beat' obi wan in their duelobi wan just took advantage of maul's arrogance and blindsided him with an unexpected movealthough, granted, maul should've been more cautious when he noticed obi wan was up to something
The show is visually and technically incredible but I don't know if it is worth it on this story. It feels too pigeon holed between canon events that we know none of this actually matters.>we know devon ultimately doesn't work out>maul gets his shit together for a bit due to solo>kills a jobber inquisitor at some point because he has an inquisitor lightsaber in rebels>ends up losing everything and is a stranded bum on malachor
>>153416650Star Wars is highly satanic because it promotes the false religion of Buddhism
I was always under the impression that Savage and Maul never knew each other prior to the clone war and that they only called themselves brothers because they were of the same race, the same way the nightsisters called Ventress their sister despite them not knowing her before showing up. When Mother Talzin says "You have a brother" to Savage, it sounded like she was saying it as if Savage had a brother that he didn't know otherwise, she should have said "Your brother".
>>153446245the real problem with the show is that it feels the need to waste the audiences time with contrived drama that ultimately leads nowhere in a 10 episode series why did rylee need to get captured by the empire? he just got a little spooked, they didn't even get any info out of him before he got busted out same with rheena being compromised, lawson notices before anything comes of it and they gtfo before they get caught and she dies along with presumably the imperal dude
>>153446305retcons are as natural to star wars as breathing, especially outside the films
>>153444845No, it makes sense. He blames himself for going Palps' way and thus taking a path of suffering that also ended those he cared for along the way, finally forgiving himself for it and resolving to free himself from pain by enacting revenge on his traitorous master.>>153445037And he thinks he's hot shit for doing so, what an affable idiot.
>>153445376Goes to show his development. Rabid dog era is over, after all he went through he finally knows the direction he wants for his life.
>>153446245>canon events that we know none of this actually matters.Sums up the disney canon. None of it matters because it all leads to the sequels, where Palpatine's daughter granddaughter kills him and skinwalks the Skywalker name.
>>153443902Episode 2 and 3 are the hardest hurdles but everything right after sails smoothly all the way to the end.>>153444068Ignore
>>153445779Either he knows having him around unchecked will lead to future problems or he just gets his kicks out of fucking with him.
>>153445944I was just thinking about how he'll end up losing everything to the point where he goes back to chasing Obi-Wan as a means to give his life purpose, he's so desperate that he'll take whatever he can on his stride.After episode 8 it's just fitting how in the end Kenobi no longer sees a foe but an old man in pain that he cradles in his arms as an act of compassion so he can have the peace that was denied to him all his life.
>>153435502Yeah, I kinda lost my respect for Daki when his plan was to just show up at Lawson's doorstep. He basically risked the lives of Lawson's family without even a heads up or warning.
>>153446245Idk how you guys ever stomached watching the Prequels, the Clone Wars and 90% of other Star Wars material.
>>153445944Too bad most of the episode was just retarded space Aladdin and Chopper Saturday Morning Cartoon escapades. They really should remake this episode only from Maul's point of view. Forcing people to watch Rebels after Shadow Lord to find out Maul's ending is insane.
>>153446789I recently watched it again and I forgot how bad Rebels looked.
>>153445944KENNNNNNNNNOOOOBAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY
>>153445944The pleading way he asks Obi-Wan about the Chosen One always fucking gets me. I also like whenever Obi-Wan is kind to someone he has every reason to hate. Little things like closing Maul's eyes to acknowledge that he was also one of Palpatine's victims only further cements him as the greatest Jedi who ever lived in my eyes.
>>153446818>>153446498>>153445944>he will avenge us...sad kino
>>153446826Who was the 'us' he was referring to? Savage? Obi-Wan himself? All three?
>>153446840Everyone Palpie got Sheev'd
>>153446840Everyone suffered and discarded under Sheev
>>153446845>>153446857>I won't let him do this to anyone else.Yeah, I guess that tracks with the most recent episodes. I really like that he's out for revenge not for purely evil or purely noble reasons. Feels like a breath of fresh air compared to how morally absolutist most Star Wars media is.
Did Sheev anally rape kid Maul with force lightning?
>>153446957from a certain point of view, yes
>>153446967From a certain point of view?!
>>153446976I always thought Luke's follow up to that should have been>Oh yeah? Well, from point of view, you're a fucking liar old man...
>>153416650why is it that all modern animation always goes out of its way to depict a male protagonist as weak and constantly losing or having to be rescued by but female characters are always all powerful, ltierally never get rescued by male characters and always win their fights?
>>153419157why do male charactes always need to be rescued by female ones but never the other way around?why do white boys especially literally never get to be competent heroes in star wars anymore?it always only ever girlbosses
>153447028>153447018silence chudcel
>>153446245So far it's building more upon his personal tragedy, that's good.
>>153416650>this is all modern stars is now>a misandrist feminist power fantasy where white male character only exist to be rescue, insulted and baten up by woman half their sizemodern animation literally never features white male characters ordering around or rescuing female characters let alone white male characters that are tough and competent action leads
>>153447018>>153447028Remember when Maul showed up to rescue Devon on the train like two episodes ago?
>>153446341Nah, not really>>153446426>year of our lord 2026>still caring about the sequels>still thinking they matter>still letting them live rent freeIshiggy
>>153446671by not being whiny boomers lol
>>153446818This.Obi is the ideal all jedis should strive to.Having a man who took the lives of those close to him and choosing to let go of any grudge and only fight for righteous reasons while also being merciful enough to acknowledge his suffering .
>>153447018>>153447082How about touching grass?>>153447085This people genuinely mute anything that doesn't trigger their angry victim complex.
>>153447085Maul is blackOr red? Idk which part is a tattoo
I love this lil nigga like you wouldn't believe
>>153447018>>153447028Because she is a Jedi, therefore she is literally genetically superior, has magic powers, and she's a war veteran. Stop being such a retarded incel.
>>153447152He was way bigger than I thought he would be next to all the humanoid characters. I assumed he was frisbee sized just based on his design and function.
>>153447153>Because she is a Jedi, therefore she is literally genetically superior,Whoa, slow down, Joruus C'baoth.
>>153447157Same. A spy bot the size of a big drone doesn’t seem to be very good at hiding.
>>153447139red skin, black tattoos
>>153447139He's red. But he's voiced by white guys and in live action was played by a white guy.
>>153447214>played by a white guy.Mother fucking Ray Park. I wonder why they didn't bring him back, is it a money thing?
>>153445376That was a personal vendetta.Pretty sure his end goal is to just get rid of Palpatine, and restore his home world of Dathomir.
>>153446252My mom had a schizo christian friend who refused to go into my room, because I had a Darth Maul bust. She thought it was too satanic.
you see we could have pic related but that'd be actually moving the plot along so it won't happen
>>153447262This show doesn't have mocap, so no need for Ray. They had him for TCW season 7.
>>153447321We don't Ventress making yet another unnecessary cameo.
>>153447474you're right, which is why we shouldve had a show about her instead of maul, at least there'd be a developing plot
>>153447018>>153447082lmao retard
>>153447534>>153447321kys ventrassfag
>>153447321The moment this happens the show will jump the shark. Which is why it won't happen. Even Lucasfilm seems to be keenly aware that resurrecting her was a mistake.
>>153447099>Obi is the ideal all jedis should strive to.MY BOY
>>153447099>>153447575>Raised to Knighthood for slaying the first known Sith Lord in hundreds of years in single combat>Master of the Soresu style, to the point that even Mace 'Shatterpoint' Windu considered him one of the Order's finest swordsmen>Wrecks Grievous's shit>Trained Anakin, who was widely acknowledged as the most powerful Jedi the Order had ever produced before his downfall>Took down Anakin/Vader at the height of his power>Beat Maul again (though I'll admit that's probably because Maul wanted to die at his hands)>Held his own against Vader as an old man and let him win>Did all of this while adhering to the Jedi Code and morality as best as he was able without completely sacrificing his humanity in the processMakes literally every Jedi that came before and after him look like punk bitches. Don't fucking sleep on Kenobi.
>>153447696>>153447575>>153447099We don't call him Jedi Jesus for no reason. He's the GOAT
>>153447321>The last son and daughter of dathomir
>>153447754Yeah, if you don't count Merrin, and a shit ton of Nightbrothers still alive in Jedi Fallen Order, and a whole bunch of Nightsisters still alive and well in another galaxy who come to repopulate Dathomir once again in Ahsoka Season 2. Disney has completely and utterly undermined the weight, importance and consequences of Dathomir genocide. It's like it never even happened.

>>153447799She is completely flat. Mosquito bites for tits. How sad and embarrassing.
>>153447799Ahsoka being a live action show was a mistake. It should've been animated and it should've looked like Shadow Lord
>>153447833her face and voice (in my dub) are sex
>>153447844it wouldn't have looked like this. it would have looked like whatever two bad batch seasons it came out between. this art style change for shadow lord is either sticking just to SL s2, or may become the norm for the next animation going forward.
>>153447844PUTA
