Underwhelming Mythosaur edition.
With the success of Maul Shadow Lord and the failure of Mandalrian and Grogu in the threaters, I think Mando will be relegated to animation soon.Disney execs will probably realize that's where Filoni shines, and that it's much cheaper too.
>>153995119Incredibly PT-coded render
>>153995616I don't know, it just seems like a crocodile with tusks and a more mammalian limb posture.But to be fair, I'm pretty sure the Reek from the geonosian arena is just a Scutosaur with tusks and a red face.
What should the next "saga" be like?
Jump 300 years into the future, have Rey's jedi order be extinct, instead, grogu will be leading a new, Mandalorian/ Jedi hybrid order that keeps peace in the galaxy.The villians could be extragalactic or some shit, who cares at this point, as long as it isn't the sith again.
>>153995964I've always liked the idea of a virtuous Sith. Maybe far in the future the Jedi have become corrupt, they're like the Medicis. Emotion and passion are gone. The Republic is sick, it's in a state of decay due to an extended period of decadence. In comes a new character who brings not darkness but emotion, life, passion back. The Force has gone out of balance but the other way this time. Bring in Hayden as the Obi-Wan.
>>153996091>I've always liked the idea of a virtuous Sith.So the complete opposite of what the Sith actually are
>>153995500>andor reference in pic Opinion fucking discarded
>>153996222Nta but george was too hard lined about sith and jedi imo. If anything the sith dogma makes more sense its just they get too backstabby and BPD most of the time
>>153996050the fuck why is fem General Grevoius sexy as hell
Here's your post-9 era darkside faction
>>153996902>Not using the darkside to keep yourself youngBtw why are SW threads so full with AI slop?
>>153995119The image doesn't really sell the sheer size of the bastard.
>>153996996Jeets and that one autist with his creepy-ass renders
How did the graphical quality of Star Wars peak with Rogue One in 2016? I know Gareth Edwards is a genius cinematographer but that doesn't account for sheer rendering quality, decade-old rendering at that. Mando movie straight up looks worse than its own TV series at times.
>>153992642The problem is the son and daughter are co-equal manifestations being held in balance with each other, and that's just wrongThe dark side is UNNNNATURALIt's not a point of preference, it's always badBalance was always supposed to be elimination of the dark side
>>153997848>The dark side is UNNNNATURALThen why does it exist?
>>153998003It's being manipulated and corrupted for personal gain You can live harmoniously with the environment and be a part of the ecosystem, don't take more than you need and leave some for others, replace what you can and plant seeds for the future, give it time to recoverOr You can dump all your garbage into the ocean, eat every fish until they're experiencing population collapse, Level the forest to use the lumber without planting any new trees and turn the forest into a parking lot displacing everything that lives there In the short-term for the person doing it that's great, But eventually that runs out and there's nothing left The "light" side or rather good side as the movies call it is working in cooperation with the force, the dark side is twisting it for selfish gain at the expense of everyone else and eventually yourself too
>The Galaxy has segmented with there being no central government in power>Poe is attempting to keep together a failing Free Alliance Federation>Criminal syndicates are laying claim to entire systems, warring with each other over territory>The techno union has allied with the hutts and are rapidly expanding Hutt Space with a new droid army>A cult of Darksiders lead by an elderly Talon are kidnapping force sensitive children across the galaxy>Rey and her order of nomadic Jedi haven't been seen for years, after leaving for a mission to find Ben Solo>Just when things feel impossible to manage and the future of the galaxy is impossible to predict, the Grysks begin their first wave of invasion from the unknown regionsThere's your post-9 era. Starfighter is about Poes first lieutenant trying to reach Rey before she sets off into the unknown regions on an important mission.You can tell whatever kind of story you would like in an era like this, and it lets storytellers avoid ST imagery and connections as much as they would like to.
The charging handles in blaster are used?I was rewatching the BoBF before I watch the Mando movie, and i saw the scene where Fennec rack the charging handle of her space Dragunov, I can only imagine to load a round of laser 7.62x54R.This was probably Robert Rodriguez not understanding how blasters work, although, in the Mando episode with Ahsoka, Kyle Reese uses the pump on his blaster shotgun, so who knows anymore.
>>153998372>The techno union has allied with the huttsThe Mando movie has the Hutts wiped out save Rotta
This starfighter movie is just s1 of mando againGuy has to get force sensitive child to the jedi master
>>153998705That's season 2, tho. Mando didn't know about Jedi till the finale.
>>153998678No they only wipe out the twins and whatever bozos happened to be in the palace. You think there are no other hutts on Nal Hutta? Or even off-planet? The twins weren't shit. They just wanted to snipe Jabbas territory before anybody else didEither way, replacing the Hutts with Black Son in that anons treatment would be just as good. If anything the hutts are overplayed at this point
>>153997533The most baffling thing about Rogue One is that it looks that fucking good despite the film being heavily reshooted some 6 months in advance.
>>153998705back in my day we called that POETRY
>>153998747I like S1 of Mando but the world-building around the Mandalorian cult is kind of dumb. Din's faction is an off-shoot of Death Watch, who were actively combating Jedi some 30 years earlier (not to mention Din experienced the fucking Clone Wars first hand). Given they're an even more radical faction, you'd think they would indoctrinate their young to hate the Jedi with a burning passion, or at the very least make them aware of the Order as one of Mandalore's oldest foes.
>>153998810>What is The Fugitive
>>153998784>You think there are no other hutts on Nal Hutta? Or even off-planet?The willingness of the New Republic to go to war with the Hutts says otherwise. None who could retaliate are expected.>replacing the Hutts with Black SonThey do exist but are fairly minor, iirc. First Maul rolled them over and brought them into the Shadow collective (so we're likely going to see them get cut down more next season), then the Empire bullied them and if that wasn't enough the Crimson Dawn had beef with them. I see your point tho.
>>153998860Mando's cult doesn't make sense in any way. They claim to be Death Watch descendants but Death Watch was split between Maul and Bo Katan. The latter returned to Normie status, and Maul's faction was decimated. So what, Mando's cult is Maul survivors who suddenly introduced a "always helmet on" culture?
>>153996729Pure Sex Design
>>153999040As far as I know, Din's cult went extremely traditionalist after the empire nuked the planet, believeing that by straying away from their traditions, they had been punished. Which also creates a problem since the bombing of Mandalore happened around the end of the Galactic civil war, only some 10 years before the events of the show. So either the entire cult has been bullshiting about keeoing their helmets their entire life since that would've started not very long ago, or they're just a faction that, for some reason, were already doing it decades prior.
>>153999129I imagine different dome cities on the planet followed different religions, and maybe even had different ethnic groups.Hell, Mando season 3 introduced fucking morlocks to Mandalore, and apperently, they were always there, we just didn't see them in the dozens of TCW and Rebels episodes that take place in Mandalore.
>>153999040It's a rando splinter cult, so they really could've fucked off to live in the sewers and jerk off to helmets at any point in the timeline.
>>153999129I really like the Mandos, but they were a bad choice for this kind of behavior since so much of their history is known to us. Especially Death Watch, who's rise and fall was shown in several Clone Wars arcs.If you just said "These are Mandos from a clan we haven't seen before" it would be fine, but Filoni could never.
Alright fellers I know it's the wrong board but everywhere else is dead and I know you played it I bought survivor on saleNot understanding the use case for the crossguard, its higher damage per hit but actually lower DPS than the double bladeAnd longer range from where you're physically standing but you can leap forward to cover the space with double also Maybe I'm just not getting it but even in 1 on 1 duels the double is a way better option
>>153999405Genuinely I think the crossguard form is just for vibes
Wasn't the skull on Boba Fett's armor supposed to be a Bantha Skull? They named a whole fan magazine after it.
the dark side can literally raise you from the dead with no apparent side effects so why are we supposed to hate it again?
>>154000386It makes you murder people you love.
>>153999405Most stances are just there to give you the option, the only stances that are straight up better then the others are dual blade and blaster.basically the most useful thing crossguard can do in add extra damage to the reflected blaster bolts, which is useful for enemies that fire only one bolt, but have high HP, like jet pack stormtroopers and bounty hunters.
>>154000386It destroys you physically and mentally eventually. It might reward you on a short term basis but it will end up ruining you on the long run.It's all about temptation.
Do you think Disney will ever continue George's notorious tradition of going back to the old movies and adding random shit to them to "fix" "continuity" and stuff?
>>154000628If they do it's gonna bite them in the ass since they're re-releasing the original cut of ANH next year, and you can bet they'll push for that angle heavily on marketing.
>>153996729IMMENSE gap-moe
>>154000628I hope they do desu. Id love a version of Rogue One that fixes Tarkin and Leia, and id unironically kill someone for a total recut of Episode 9
>>154000503>>154000552not me though i'm built different
So, a Lucasfilm exec recently told screenrant there would be more Cal Kesti's stories after Jedi 3, so I'm hopeful he won't die at the end of that game.
>>154000956lol enjoy battle scars 2
What is in this area of the galaxy? I don't have a firm understanding of astronomy but wouldn't there still be more stars & systems? Would you guys like in the future for a splinter faction of CIS remnant forces that went out here to escape the empire/republic grasps? If it's even possible & there isn't some reason as for why nothing can exist here or something
>>154000956There was a recent book (might've been one of the guides) where it's stated that Luke knew about Cal, so he either recollected info about him post RotJ or they could've met if Cal's alive by that time.
>>154000982>What is in this area of the galaxy? I don't have a firm understanding of astronomy but wouldn't there still be more stars & systems?Nothing. Just empty intergalactic space. Think of crossing an asteroid belt, the asteroids don't go on infinitely, at some point they just stop.
>>154001039Ahh ok thanks!
>>154000982>>154001039>>154001056It is to note tho that the SW galaxy has a faew satellite galaxies surrounding it. Kamino is in one of those so it's technically an extragalactic body.
>>154000628>mentions/appearances of Ahsoka inserted in Episode III and onwards>characters from Rebels, Andor, Rogue One etc. appearing in the background on Yavin and subsequent rebel bases/ships>the Ghost added to the battle of Endor>grown-up Omega piloting one of the X-WingsDon't tell me Filoni isn't dying to do this
>>154000982Extra galactic zones are considered Wild Space, the difference between Wild Space and the Unknow Regions is that, while the Unknown regions are vastly unexplored, there are still mapped hyperspace lanes on it, in Wild Space, you are gambling every time you use the hyperdrive.
>>153996729
>>153995964Rey and Ben vs Abeloth
>>153996272Bros I NEED a BPD Sith waifu
Star Wars midwits who try to run PR apologist campaigns for the fucking Dark Side of all things need to be euthanized
>>154000982How did they end up on Tatooine after fleeing Naboo in TPM when it's in the opposite direction from Coruscant?
I believe in orange saber supremacy
Probably already know this but the ship that admiral or moff or whatever escapes in is based off an old kenner toy from the 80's
>>154001548that's literally everything that shows up in Mando
New disney design AT AT or older ESB design AT AT?
>>154000982>>154001039>>154001039Aren't the unknown regions pretty populated but due to some space bullshit its really difficult for the rest of the galaxy to get to. Wasn't the unknown regions pretty much cosmically walled off to lock the Rakata in?
>>154001576
>>154001548wtf is it just a flying AT-ST cabin?
>>154001180 they have extragalactic travel?
>>154001610Not really. Those satellite systems are close enough to not really count. The only truly extra-galactic travel we see was in Ahsoka and it was a big fucking deal
>>154001592IIrc the most notable inhabitant of the Unknown regions are the Chiss (Thrawn's species), who purposefully isolate themselves from the rest of the galaxy, so they might also not share info with whichever power dominates the galaxy at any point.
>Boys are the same, whether they're Republic or Separatist...
>>154001601Kinda, 1 man small vessel for scouting. But he uses it as a getaway ship
>>154001592Anon circled the emptiness outside of the galaxy, on the opposite side of the Unknown Regions.>>154001610It's a couple of small satellite galaxies on a very close orbit to the main galaxy, so in many ways it still counts as part of the main galaxy as the distances are not comparable to the distances between actual other galaxies.Think Great Britain being right next to mainland Europe (the main galaxy) vs. the Americas or Australia (other galaxies) being considerably further away and requiring much more capable ships/planes to reach.
>>153998678Wheres the instant loss follow up image?
>>154001678The chiss can navigate it because they have Skywalkers to chart paths in real-time>>154001592It's a combination of hyperspace charting dying off as the High Republic came to a close, and like you said, it being unusually difficult to map in the first place. Not technically impossible, but exceedingly tricky
>>154001652Thanks. Where did they go and what were they looking for?>>154001678Thanks. My warhammer brain loves to imagine weird, powerful and creepy shit lurking in the dark, forgotten parts of the galaxy.
>>154001494>How did they end up on Tatooine after fleeing Naboo in TPM when it's in the opposite direction from Coruscant?Because lucas doesnt give a fuck about the EU supplementary material.
>>154001610The key part is Kamino being a satellite galaxy. It's a smaller galaxy which ends up orbiting a bigger one due to the gravitational pull of the latter, but it's still consideraded a unique celestial body. I remember reading once that the Kaminoans were designed in such a way so that they would feel alien even to the SW setting, reflecting how they're technically not from the main galaxy.
>>154001698wtf, where is this from? She is like 15, there is no way any officer or Jedi commander would allow this
>>154001815>Republic HR departments on every VenatorDamn would be kino miniseries
>>154001760This is a map made long after TPM (or any involvement from Lucas in Star Wars, for that matter) though
>>154001756>loves to imagine weird, powerful and creepy shit lurking in the dark, forgotten parts of the galaxy.Thats what the Vong/Grysks are and what we might be currently leading up to. The Grysks have been teased for like a decade and we are finally at a point for it to make narrative sense to introduce them
>>154001872Lmao it didn't let me upload the right pic and uploaded Marty instead. Look up the Mnggal-Mngaal, that was some straight up cosmic horror in the old canon.
>>154001872What is their besides the Yuzan Vong? I never got to read the old EU because I can't enjoy reading fictional novels
>>154001892Meant for >>154001756
>>154001815It was her idea. She insisted, Lord Vader.
>>154001859How do you see that playing out if its the route they go? Didn't they tease the Mortis gods a couple years ago? Sorry I've been off star wars since the boba fett thing they had
>>154001892>>154001908I checked that out a while back. Would be pretty cool. No idea how the star wars purists who hate all that stuff about cosmic horrors in star wars would take it.
>>154002044The Mortis gods were teased for Ahsoka S2, which won't come out until next year.
>>154002122Abeloth here we come in 2030 what are the odds Filoni fucks up Mortis though?
How did the empire find an entire galactic military's worth of troopers with no conscience, willing to enslave others, abduct children, and murder innocents, etc?
>>154002219The Clone wars waged destruction over the entire galaxy, so I imagine that by the end of it, most people just wanted order restored without caring about the means to achieve it. Fascists regime always put order and security as their front, and being honest, that's what the average Joe really cares about.
>>154002219Sith Breeding Pits
>>154001482I think it's more that people want to see more cool force powers besides "push" and "talk to animals" get used in the action series about wizard knights and so are willing to bend the rules in their headcanons to justify more jedi dipping into that power source. If george lucas wasn't a gay retarded flip flopping hippie he would have made a light side equivolent of the dathomir witches before he sold the series to disney so future creatives had a bigger power pool to draw from for their heroes and we could have avoided all this. It's either that or we get an unapologetic series about dark side users and that's not likely
>>154002338>If george lucas wasn't a gay retarded flip flopping hippieIf he wasn't SW wouldn't fucking exist. Those are just the morals and values of the story.
>>154002219The empire wasn't that bad, the republic was a mess of rampant slavery and crime syndicates while the wealthy oligarchs got fatThe empire may have been a protection racket at the end of the day, but the thing about it is if you play along they'll leave you alonePeople chose security
>>154002515Unironic defenders of the empire are bootlickers on another level.
>>154002515literally nothing in the canon supports this
>>154002515Bro they blew up an entire planet just to show a single woman that they meant business
>>154002628The Canon is clearly there are trillions of empire supporters, so of course they're getting something out of itYou could live as a street rat on level 1500 with no hope of ever getting out or live in barracks on the surface and see the galaxy
>>154002515>People chose securityWhich the Empire did not provide. They SOLD themselves as the better option even if they could only provide stability through tyranny, which eventually leads the people to revolt since opression is only tolerated for a time. They were also an ineffective institution where, when it's participants weren't devouring each other alive, prefered to spend trillions on show-offy project like the Death Star even when there were better alternatives to keep their control.
>>154002708People joined the empire because the galaxy was so fucked it was your only form of upward mobility, as you yourself illustrate. No one joined it out of the goodness of their hearts. Even Luke only wanted to join the academy to get off of Tatooine. Everyone that wasn't actively IN the empire knew it sucked ass.
>>153998785the tentpole effects shots probably didn't change all that much, just the bits with people in them
>>154002338That's only because the series doesn't cleverly utilize the telekinetics. If you had more shit like in Jedi Academy where they're pushing fucking grenades and rockets back to blow up squads, and shoving entire groups of soldiers down you wouldn't have this issue.
>Barriss Offee is taken to be an inquisitor, despite the fact Vader should want her dead>She's the only inquisitor with a conscience, despite the fact she's a terrorist bomber that killed several innocent people and framed her friend for it>Dies for no actual reason, literally walked right into her deathMan, did Tales of the Empire suck dick, the Morgan episodes weren't any better, I had two question about that character, where did she get a pure beskar spear, and why did Kyle Reese work for her, and they answered neither.
Oh yeah. This happened.
>>153996050>>153999071>>154001379Sexo
>>154003247Just because the Rebels art style was controversial it doesn't mean they shuld stick to the TCW style for the rest of time.
>>154003150>>Dies for no actual reason, literally walked right into her deathShe lived, unfortunately
>>154003308Art style is the least of these shows problems.
>>154003247I don't think the top two are forgotten at all. Maul is still getting tiktok edits and bad batch fluff is still getting discussed even here. The tales shows are just a waste of time
>>154003395>Maul is still getting tiktok editsrecency bias
>>154003402I mean yeah it was accused of being forgotten but it hasn't been yet. It's also really well received by everyone except those guys that pop into every star wars thread to complain about star wars.
>>154003356I know, but changing visuals would at least be appreciated.
>>154003453They kinda did. These shows barely look like Clone Wars for the most part, if you actually compare them side by side.
Why was the TIE Defender this super ultra top secret project on Lothal?it's just a TIE with shields and hyperdrive, the empire had fighters with shields and hyperdrives before, the clones flew ARC-170s and Z-95s, no one told the empire thay had to make shieldless and hyperdriveless TIEs, and then start starfighter development from scratch.
>>154003479Eh, I still don't see it as a considerable difference. TCW's art style has evolved, yes, but a good alternative would be trying an entirely new one built from scratch, not a refinement of the previous one.
>>154003453I think they should change it up big time and make a full show in 2d animation
>>154003247>>154003395They were very smart to make Shadow Lord full of lightsaber fights, very easy to edit and get zoomer eyes on their show.I honestly couldn't bring myself to watch the Bad Batch, all those characters are just so uninteresting.
>>154003247The art style and animation quality in this franchise is extremely poor looking and I'm tired of pretending it isn't
>>154003566Yeah, that would be a nice change of pace. Genndy's SW was over 20 years ago, a new 2D show would be welcome and a braeth of fresh air (Visions nonwithstanding).
>>154003543>evolved
>>154003150I fucking hated that show. I prefer to think that Barris was executed in her cell when Order 66 came around. "I did terrorism because I realized that the Jedi have become le bad!" Bitch, you didn't simply make a statement, you specifically went out of your way to frame and ruin the life of someone who was your friend. And after that they have the audacity to try and garner sympathy for this character? Fuck off.
So I take it you guys aren't very fond of the Bad Batch? I guess it's an unpopular opinion but I fucking loved it, probably my favorite animated Star Wars show tbqh
>>154003787I hated the first season but it started to grow on me by the end. I think the best episodes are the ones that focus primarily on non-clone characters though.
>>154003787It's gay and sucked balls. Crosshair eps were the only good ones.
>>154003787it's usually one shitter, the weekly threads were greatoverall i'd say it's better than TCW due to it's consistency, it has pointless episodes but barely any that are outright bad
>>154003247yeah, i'm reading and watching the master and apprentice dookino
>>154003531Because they were figuring out how to get the maneuverability and speed of a TIE with shields and hyperdrives. If their enemies figured out the schematics, the Emprie would lose their tech superiority.
I just started Ahsoka, last thread people said I don't need to have seen Mando to understand it. But she suddenly has a (seemingly) brand new shiny Jedi shuttle and the lightsaber professor droid, two things that you'd guess wouldn't have survived the Jedi Purge and the Empire, does it get explained how they came into her possession later on?Also why is Huyang even hanging out with her, would he not be better off helping Luke in this time period or something?
>>154004246Ahsoka is Rebels Season 5, Mando is basically irrelevant to it beyond a brief tease of what Ahsoka's been up to post fall of the Empire.
>>154004246No, there's no particular explanation as far as I recall.>would he not be better off helping Luke in this time period or something?Probably, but Disney is reluctant to do much with Luke anyway. They really fucked themselves by making it firm canon that his new Jedi order collapses into nothing. TFA really poisoned the well for the whole post-ROTJ era right from the start.
>>154004246Huyang was either in imperial storage somewhere, he was too valuable to destroy since he had a database of every jedi lightsaber ever, or in a distant temple somewhere.Same for the ship, could be a museum piece Ahsoka took from Coruscant after the empire fell, or she found it in an abandoned jedi temple somewhere.talking about jedi vehicles, it's hard to ignore how good they fucking had it, jedis had custom ships, starfighters and even fucking speeders, all for themselves, paid by the republic taxpayer.
>>154001576Those are ugly. What's with the ball chins?
>>154004733you see that's the problem with filoni writingsomething isn't explained, and people just make up headcanons to explain itwhich yeah okay a headcanon here and there is fine but it's the entire fucking show>why is X hereno answer, headcanon>how did X get thatno answer, headcanon>when did X know Yno answer, headcanonetc etc etcif you need your fans to make shit up to justify your writing, you've failed as a writer
>>154002044>Name dropped by Thrawn in Ahaoka S2>Have their history foreshadowed in one of the Old Republic games and maybe hinted at in Starfighter>Properly introduced for Rey NJO movie as the eras new antagonists That's how I'd personally start the buildup. It's been years since Thrawn teased them in the novels, I think it's about time
Kinda fucked that we all know that Maul Shadow Lord will end with Devon stranding Maul on Malachor because Wagner Moura will tell her Maul threw her master at Vader in order to save his own robot ass.
>>153995964Full Romance of the Three Kingdoms/Sengoku Period where an influx of Force sensitives, poor framework to guide them and two failed governing systems has led to an age of warlords and nations built on those who could neither be called Jedi or Sith.
>>154004823I'm not gonna defend the Ahsoka show since it's just weakly written in general, but you should take care to differentiate things that need to get explained from things that don't. Huyang warranted at least a brief explanation, even just a line or two. Ahsoka's ship doesn't need explanation.
>investigates a place>sees a loth-cat>does not pet the loth-catAre they purposefully making her unrelateable?
>>154005014I don't see how, unless the show spans like a decade. Maul Shadow Legends is closer to Episode III on the timeline, Rebels to Episode IV, and he has to appear in Solo inbetween.
>>154004733Perhaps the ship was in the hands of some private collector, or some imperial higher-up who took it as a private vessel. Hell, maybe even Sheev himself or someone from his inner circle, considering he already took over the Jedi temple as his palace. I just think otherwise the Empire would have likely found and scrapped it long before Ahsoka had the chance to find it.
>>153997848>The dark side is UNNNNATURALHow can it be unnatural? The Dark Side, as we know as a matter of fact, is created by fear, anger, hatred, pain, suffering, death and conflict. These are all natural, unavoidable facets of life from the most sophisticated being down to the most simplest. Life creates the Force and so therefore the Dark Side logically is a natural part of it. It cannot be an aberration and certainly not a sickness or cancer because where there is life, all the things that create the Dark Side come with it.
>>154005099Dawson had nothing to go on, I can't imagine how fucking autistic Filoni's directing must be.
>>154005327What kind of person writes a scene where a character squats in front of a loth-cat and looks at it, but does not think to pet it? And what kind of actor doesn't improvise petting a loth-cat when the script tells them to squat in front of one? (Unless she didn't know there was going to be a loth-cat CGI'd in)
>>154003150>where did she get a pure beskar spearYou can buy beskar. It's rare and expensive, but that's it.
Inquisitor power levels are the most inconsistent thingBasically high padawan tier I think, but then you have second sister doing fucking flash steps n shit
>>154003150>where did she get a pure beskar spearShe was working for the Empire for a time. The Empire had control of Mandalore. We know the Empire mined and shipped Beskar out of Mandalore. It's not improbable that she, through some contacts, got hold of some and made herself a spear.>why did Kyle Reese work for herThey made it quite clear he's a mercenary. She had work for him and she could pay well.
>>154005014>Devon stranding Maul on MalachorThere's like 16 years between Shadow Lord and Rebels, Devon stranding Maul is a stupid theory. At least suggest Qira did it to usurp Crimson Dawn
>>154005950>At least suggest Qira did it to usurp Crimson DawnThat's what I thought happened for the longest time. But apparently Maul bequeathed Crimson Dawn to her and went to Malachor of his own accord.
>>154000628Honestly I'd be down for a rebuild of ANH's Special Edition so that the CGI is elevated to Rogue One standards, which is good enough to actually fit in with the practical effects.And eliminate that stupid ronto in Mos Eisely.
>>154002219The nazis managed to find plenty of nutjobs in Germany with only a few years of peacetime control.
>>154002219>How did the empire find an entire galactic military's worth of troopers with no conscience, willing to enslave others, abduct children, and murder innocents, etc?Lots and lots of conscriptions and willing recruits who wanted to not live in the fuckshit conditions the Clone War created.
Tomorrow afternoon, brothers
>>154002692That’s just Tarkin knowing how to handle women.This is canon btw.
>>153999040>They claim to be Death Watch descendants but Death Watch was split between Maul and Bo KatanThey're called "The Children of The Watch". Djarin states he grew up on Concordia, which for a time was the original headquarters for Death Watch. He and the other cultists are the kids and foundlings of Death Watch that were seemingly left behind by the group after they were discovered by Satine and Obi-wan. They're the children abandoned by Death Watch. Only left to seemingly be raised by a single Mandalorian armorer. >So what, Mando's cult is Maul survivors who suddenly introduced a "always helmet on" culture?They've never been with Maul or Bo-katan's factions. But otherwise, yes. They're basically a third faction that went and did their own thing.
>>154006283What's happening?
>Rewatching Obi-Wan KenobiHoly fuck I forgot how cheap this looks.
So what does the average sunk-cost fan do? Blind praise?

>erase sequel saga>new antagonists are the new republic >they capture/kill force sensitive people to prevent another Palpatine publicly>secretly experiment on themJust copying zeta gundam woulda been better than the shite we got
>>154005255Those things are only true if you accept them as an inevitability, but through the light all darkness will be defeatedThat's the great irony, for all the sith trying to defeat death though the dark side, the light is what does it
>>154007644How much of the general public knows Palpatine was a wizard?
>>153995271>Success of Maul Oh? I thought it was garbage.
>>154005014>>154005950>>154006161I know it's retarded but I've been thinking of something they could do with the whole Devon/Maul/Malachor thing. Maul goes to Malachor with Devon, Devon gets stuck in some kind of old sith trap, stasis chamber or god forbid World between World bullshit.That explains why he is stuck as iirc he needed another force-user to get through Malachor's bullshit. It would also allow them to use Devon post-ST without aging her, having her be discovered on Malachor by whoever and go on with a plot closer to Lucas' ST.I'm not saying this would be a good thing, but that does sound plausible imo.
>>154008000It's popular with fans and got critical acclaim
>>154001859>The Grysks have been teased for like a decadeIn novels Filoni straight up ignores or retcons.
>>154005500I don't think Dawson gives a shit because 99% of her performance is monotone poses, stares, voice and crossing her arms.
>>154009087>novels Filoni straight up ignores or retcons.Where did this mentality come from? Surely that many people do not care about the Ahsoka bookFrom what we've seen, Filoni has always made an active effort to tie the books and comics into screen content. The ahsoka book is the only outlier
>>154009459He wasn't doing that during Clone Wars.
>>154009529The clone wars had nothing to retcon. It was the first project George considered canon
>>154009459They should've greenlit the ranger show with this guy. Huge missed opportunity to keep the space western vibe going without the escalation of baby jedi, mythical swords and destroyed planets.
>>154009545Here we go...
>George said!>George wanted!>George thought! He's not your shield.
>>154009560He is if we're on the topic of why a George project would ignore content George didn't consider legitimate
>>154009580Quiet canon quisling.
Time to post the Starlog quotes!
>>154007136Sony State of Play
>>154006283
>>154009547That show was originally Carrano's spinoff, and when they shoa'd her, I guess they didn't want to pay Olyphant rates for a Carrano show.Although, i don't know how expensive that guy must be, because he was on that awful Alien show.
>>154009459He changed how Kanan's experiences during Order 66 went down, and ignored Thrawn's motivation in canon for the Ahsoka show.
>>154009632honestly just do it I don't even care just piss off KOTORfags
I miss aliens in Star Wars, Now it's just brown people.
>>154009632As much as people shit on SWTOR's Revan, I think they had the right idea in making him Keanu Reeves.Anyway, the only good thing to come out of the Kenobi show is that there's already a black woman darksider named Reva, so they probably won't want to make Revan a black woman in order to avoid confusion, but that leaves all the other races.
>>154009632Incredibly based. Female Revan and Male Exile is the way to go
>>154009640Hi Pablo, Nobody cares about your shitty Transformer doodles.
>>154009632Revan and Bastila hooking up is a must if you want to do the story justice so if he wants to make Revan a lesbian I can be convinced to see things his way
This was better than all the Filonislop combined.
>>154009636He has a good working relationship with FX since the justified days so I'm sure it could have happened, but yeah he definitely would have sent the budget way up. Unfortunately they greenlit alien earth season 2 instead
>>154000628Honestly Kenobi could be saved in a movie cut, there are people who've done it>fix the shaky camera>cut the Leia chase scenes>cut the entire Reva-Luke plotline (Reva now canonically dies to Vader)>vfx fix G.I. to look more like a prequel Pau'an>a general re-score>fix the lighting in the Vader vs Kenobi scenes so you can actually see shitThis obviously wouldn't make it good since the fundamental problem of that show was shoehorinng in a showdown between Vader and Obi between III-IV thus retconning ANH in the process, but it would make the whole thing less embarrassing.
>>154009639I think you're missing the point that adapting comic scenes to animation in the first place is a big deal for continuity, even if it's not 1:1
>>154009730The Leia glazing was weird, She's intelligent, compassionate, courageous, & wise beyond her years. While Luke is just eating his boogers.
>>154000956If we get Cal in the Mando era I might as well kill myselfJust pull a Rogue One and let him deal a big blow to the Empire. Then have him get killed by Vader. It's the best ending I can think for him. I don't want Cameron Monaghan showing up in Mandalorian and Yeed 2 teaching the baby how to force fart blast and gifting him a poncho
>>154009840It's not necessarily that deep. Leia is a princess raised by senators in the very best caste of life with an adopted father who is aware of her importance and the role she will play in the rebellion. Luke lives on a farm raised by a jaded uncle who wants him to keep his head in the sand until he dies of old age at 40.
>>154009863Thanks Anthony Gramuglia.
>>154009843I'm hoping the reason they haven't done shit with Luke and his jedi order yet is that they want to use the path as an excuse to introduce a lot of force sensitives at once, and that the post-game Cal story will be Luke discovering the path and tanalor and inviting them all to his hut temple built in the woods by robo ants.
>>154009843As I in another thread, Cal and baby Yoda are the best options to sidestep a Rey jedi order.Jump centuries into the future, have baby Yoda, now adult Yoda, be leading a order of "Mandalorian knights" out of Mandalore, that mix mando and jedi teachings. Have them be in a cold war type conflich with the "Night Guardians", a order that mixes jedi teaching with nightsister magiks operating out of Tanalorr, their founder being Cal and Merrin, now long dead.Then have them have to join forces to fight some big menace coming from outside the galaxy.
It sucks that canon books can't do anything risky or exciting it always has to be a breadcrumb trail back to the sequel trilogy.
>>154009914Too interesting. They all get killed by Ren's temper tantrum off screen.
>>154009899>Cal gives the New Jedi Order he worked so hard to build to Luke so that his nephew can genocide all of them
>>154009958I think Cal would be happy to discover that he and his friends no longer have to hide.>givesCal would probably end up training luke and taking a seat on the new jedi council.The other option is to have everyone involved in the path completely forget about it once the empire falls, leaving them all on tanalor for a few decades until someone suddenly remembers post-ST and lets them know they can come out.
>>154009639>and ignored Thrawn's motivation in canon for the Ahsoka showqrd?
>>154009942Let me guessYou refused to read the high republic?
>>154009730I see no point in trying to salvage that shit, better to just keep pretending it never happened.
>>154009989Honestly, not a bad idea, have the Koboh anomaly collapse after all the jedi and force sensitive children from the Path are in Tanalorr.Then, years after the ST, the anomaly opens again, but time didn't pass on Tanalorr due to the anomaly, so Cal and all the others didn't age, so now they are free to spread their jedi order to the galaxy.
>>154010002The new canon established that Thrawn's only motivation for joining the Empire was in order to protect his people from the Grysk, being an alliance born out of pure conveniente for a greater goal. Ahsoka on the other hand has him as an Imperial loyalist and the Grysk and their threat to the Chiss aren't mentioned once.
>>154010002There's not much to run down. In the novels he's pretty explicitly uninterested in the empires intention to rule the galaxy and just sees it as a means to an end for himself. The ahsoka series has him talking about the empires importance and on some long live the empire shitI think it's pretty obvious both can be true at the same time, personally. Especially if he views the empire as the only way to protect against the invading grysks
>>154010023Any Canon book, who likes being woke scolded?
>>154010050>The new canonBooks and comics are only canon if a live action or animated source confirms them, otherwise they are "schrodinger's canon".
>>154009989Cal is an action hero so it will never sit right with me if the culmination of his arc is "I'll just sit in hiding until a Jedi cooler than me brings down the bad guys"I've said this before: the best final boss for Cal is Grand Inquisitor 2, whether that be Jerec, Mara Jade, Galen Marek (since they love recycling EU villains) or an OC doesn't matter. If you can't bring down the top 2 guys aka Emperor and Vader, bring down the 3rd. And then he falls to Vader refusing to give the location of the path/Tanalorr. It would parallel Jaro Tapal sacrificing himself to protect him. this time he's protecting Merrin, Kata and GreezAnd then if you want to make more Jedi games you move on with Kata.
Wait a fucking second, if the Darksaber was made of super beskar, how the fuck did moff Gus Fring crush it?Also, I had forgotten how pathetic Mando is on BoBF and season 3, "oh the blade is too heavy due to the weight of responsability!", I guess Sabine's gilt and shame didn't affect the weight of the blade, and Bo Katan is such a psychopath, that leading her people to be genocided twice, didn't make her feel bad at all.
>>154008000You should probably stop listening to Shadiversity and Star Wars Girl.
>>154010265He gave darksaber to bo katan like a bitch. It was such a kino addition to his arsenal and it would be great to see him get better at using it. But nah they don't want this guy or yeed to change too much, have an inkling of an interesting arc. Always gotta be the clueless stoic bounty hunter and his baby sidekick who makes people flip sometimes.
>>154010204>Cal is an action hero so it will never sit right with me if the culmination of his arc is "I'll just sit in hiding until a Jedi cooler than me brings down the bad guys"For me it just depends on how the third game goes. He learned in the second that it's okay to stop fighting and find a home instead, but obviously there's some catalyst for him to leave tanalor for game 3. If they do it right then a retirement on tanalor could easily feel earned. Or maybe the game ends with tanalor getting blown up. Who knows
>>154010296>He gave darksaber to bo katan like a bitch.But she saved him from the random vampire cyborg!Who knew the caverns of Mandalore were full of morlocks, dinosaurs and vampire cyborgs?I'm still waiting for the Tales of the Mandalorians series, with 3 episodes dedicated to vampire cyborg's origin story and another 3 to Bo Katan's fifth redemption arc followed by getting her people killed.
>>154010345>I'm still waiting for the Tales of the Mandalorians series, with 3 episodes dedicated to vampire cyborg's origin story and another 3 to Bo Katan's fifth redemption arc followed by getting her people killed.Fucking kek!
>>154010296Mando wants nothing more than to not be in Star Wars. That damn blade was going to doom him to a life of leading a bunch of assholes and fending off constant attempts on his life for what the darksabre represents.
>something like 30 star wars projects since disney bought it>luke is in maybe 4 of them, not counting the ones that repeat the OThis only student was baby yoda. what's he doing? why wasn't he with ahsoka to learn jedi shit or helping the new republic fight the imperial remnants?
>>154010613It's a "mystery".
>>154010613Not getting Hamill for an animated show about Luke seems like a big misstep, yeah.
>>154003247None of them are very good.
>>154010613I understand not wanting to step on potential narrative toes while the ST was still ongoing. Now that we are pretty safely out of the thick of it though, id really appreciate a Luke show. Either animated or live action with a recast
>>154003247All should have been under one title, and treated as a big anthology
>>154010724Who would want to see more of Luke knowing how his story ends?
>>154010613You can thank Abrams and the sequels in general for that. The post-RotJ period is a poisoned well since Luke and his friends, his new Jedi Order, Mon Mothma, the New Republic as a whole, etc. have all been established to become failures in one way or another after the OT. So there is no point nor much interest in telling stories focusing on them because they all invariably must fail sooner or later, or be shown as failures. That's why in the post-RotJ period we're mostly getting projects like Mando and Ahsoka that mostly focus on non-movie characters because at least they have a chance at succeeding at something.
>>154010749Me
When will stop pilfering from the old EU like a grave robber?
>>154009632>SheBastila romance in shambles
>>154010749Me. You can use Luke for decades of stories before he arrives at RJ's character assassination. Plus you can always just retcon the fuck out it.
>>154010799Never because they realized too late that it was stupid to toss out decades of soft canon when there's a lot of cool shit in there among all of the weird. Like I wouldn't be surprised if Disney tried to dip into Kyle at some point after the Dark Troopers showed up.
>>154010799>>154010749>>154010683Samefag desu
>>154010613Part of the problem is so much of the post-ROTJ content has been live action, where deepfaking or recasting are their only options, and Luke hasn't been central to any of those stories by design. At this point it would be a little hard to shove him in. I don't care that much either way because I don't find Luke interesting beyond the OT itself, but that we've gotten so little of Leia is arguably even weirder. She and Mon Mothma are more important to the state of the galaxy in the Mandoverse period than Luke is.They are all central to the Battle of Jakku comics, at least -- not that it's a great or even memorable read.
>>154010808>You can use Luke for decades of stories before he arrives at RJ's character assassination>Look at all these Jedi that Kylo will kill!
>>154010825>it was stupid to toss out decades of soft canonIt was necessary and inevitable as soon as more movies were greenlit.
>>154010841
>>154010875>Mr Filoni get down!>Oh god oh fuck his hat is covering his ears he can't hear us
they should piss off mandofags by having tales of the mandalorians and dedicating 3 episodes to satine
>>154010893As long it confirms that her "nephew" really was Obi-Wan's son
>>154010893I hate not Siri.
>>154010844Bringign Leia into the mandoverse would be worse than Luke, because while Luke fails in the future, Leia is falling in the present, the New Republic sucks so much dick it's incredible, things are worse than under the Empire, new republic senators ignore obvious threats and don't seem to care about anything, and it all ends up with them getting giga nuked becaused they ignored the fucking empire rebuilding for 34 fucking years.That's why Lucas' idea for the sequels being Luke leading a ragtag group against Maul's growing criminal empire makes more sense, a republic building itself anf ignoring crime in the outer rim makes sense, a republic building itself and ignoring the enemy they barely defeated is insane.
>>154010932Dude's name was "Korkie", they might as well have called him Rufus or soem shit, dog ass name.Anyway, he probably died in of of Bo Katan's several failed rebellions.
>>154010953I don't think that'd be worse. I think a series showing how and why the new republic sucks so much ass is basically required because of the ST. You could even have Leia succeed in building the republic, step down at the end of her term to focus on family or knit or whatever, and have one of her replacements be the ones who fucks up.
>>154010892>Filoni based Embo's hat shield trick off his personal life experiences
>>154010953This is why I think merely ignoring/decanonizing ST won't fix much, the damage is already done, the ineptitude of the New Republic being on full display in Ahsoka is just the tip of the iceberg, it goes further back to Andor and Rogue One where the other senators *repeatedly* refuse to heed the Death Star intel or do anything about it other than scatter. If these are the people who would go on to form the New Republic why would anyone ever want to fight for these assholes?
>>154010893Dude I want that. The Mandalorian Civil War, or at least the most recent one prior to Maul, is something of a void in the narrative. We have no books nor episodes covering those events. We know that Clan Kryze led the winning faction, Obi-Wan spent an extended assignment protecting Satine on the run, and... that's about it. Whatever happened, it was enough to make the Mandalorian population at large throw their hands up and go "fuck this" in regards to warfare in general.
>>154006766Impregnate this creature
>>154010808>You can use Luke for decades of stories before he arrives at RJ's character assassinationThey already charracter assaassinated him in BOBF
>>154011311true. Luke saying you have to let go of your attachments to be a Jedi is completely contrary to Luke's character. That was the old Jedi Order, and Luke didn't think like that.
>>153996261We need an Andor variant of this.
>>154010953Not enough talk about Leia's humiliation. Her son is a school shooter, her political career gone, the new republic a failure and she dies right as Palpatine's grand daughter stabs her son in the gut. Then the girl skinwalks her family name.
Government employees irl should dress like this too honestly
So how does this guy know that Anakin was Darth Vader? How common is this knowledge?
>>154011950Maybe he was at the temple when Anakin attacked it with the 501st and saw him. He said earlier "everyone in the temple knew Anakin Skywalker".
>>154011950if the Bloodline book is canon, everyone should know by now, along with knowing Leia is his daughter.
>>154011950I kept waiting for a book on this guy because he's cool as fuck but the mouse refuses. I assumed he must've visited some ancient temple that gave him a vision of the mortis squad so why not throw anakin falling and becoming vader in there
>>154011986This is correct. He said he watched the Temple burn.
>>154012041>>154012087I'd like to know how did me meet and train Darth Cutie
>>154012114For that you'll have to wait for the Shin/Sabine romance novel inspired by the sapphic hockey romance books
>>154012152>Shin/Sabine romanceHeresy. Sabine needs the loth-cock
>>154012152I'm a yurifag at heart but I am VEHEMENTLY against making wolfwren a thing. Stabbing someone in the kidney is not a fuckin way to say hello!
>>154012231Women love it when men do it. Why not lesbians?
Sabine/Shin thing will never happen. If there is one thing Filoni hates more than romance it's gay romance. Enjoy your behind the scenes crumbs.
>>154011542That's wrong, though. How do people still fail to understand this? Lucas never intended for Luke to be contrary to Jedi tradition and the moviex don't depict it that way.
>>154012219I hope Ezra dies.
>>154012319>>154012348Ezra's wives
>>154012326But muh EU
>>154012326nta but lucas did say that the prequel jedi had lost their way. that's why qui-gon exists. I don't remember if it was in the context of attachments though, probably not
>>154012348>>154012409This but unironically. They denied me LukeMara and CalTrilla. EzraShin is my last hope.>inb4 ReyloEEEEEUUUUGH
>>154012453CalMerrin doesn't count? She was dark side once
https://youtu.be/kaAmF8gy6eQ?si=VOeSdVcoQzoy_B_-The battle over Scarif is my platonic ideal in aerial combat cinematography. Literally all it needs to finish the job is a few cockpit POV shots to really put you in the action.
>>154012508Close but not exactly the dynamic I'm looking for. Cal just stumbled upon Merrin on Dathomir who doesn't want Jedi walking around her turf. In the above pairings the gal falls for the guy she's actively hunting down or is her natural enemy.
You all are getting queerbaited.
>>154012588If it gives me more shots of sabine's fat ass I am totally ok with that
>average lesbian relationship
Wait, when the fuck did Ahsoka learn to Quinlan Vos the memories of objects?
>>154012954She can do anything. She's the best!
>>154012954FIIILOOOOOONIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>154012954There are degrees to psychometry. Getting sensations of recent events will never hold a candle to Cal getting immersive flashbacks from events two hundred years ago.
>>153995119It did not look that bad in the Waters of Mandalore.
Also, jfc, showing a Togruta's face without any headgear concealing the transition between their normal skin and the montrals is the most cursed thing
>>154013025I'm glad they digitally removed every bit of ear, in her Mando season 2 episode, you can see a bit of lobe slipping from under the headband.
>>154012954I chalked that one up to "master and padawan connection" bullshit, meaning if SAbine wasn't there, she wouldn't be able to see shit.
>>154012340He'll pull a Kanan - do a noble sacrifice but not before helping continue clan Wren
>Mando spends a whole episode, in a show that isn't even his, to make the by far best Starfighter in the franchise, specs wise.>it's only used in 2 dogfights in mando season 3>No fights with in in the Mando movieYou would think Fraveau and Filoni would take advantage of the higher movie budget to finally do justice to the Mando N1.
>>154014165The N1 is also on the entrance of the Lucas museum of creative art, which will open september.You would think they would put an X-wing there.

Trust.
>>153995119Why does it look so retarded?
>>154015538You try creating a full creature out of a doodle on Boba Fett's shoulder.
>>154010050I don't see any contradiction, he's stranded in another galaxy, obviously he can't help the Chiss from there and has to work with the Nightsisters to get back. At no point has he any reason to mention his real agenda to the Nightsisters, his troops, Ahsoka, or anyone else. They don't need to know and it would just complicate matters.
>>154015385welp. not today
>>154016054At least the Jedi spinoff with Cere is on.
>>154016054>>154016252Maybe during one of the other showsI can't imagine going the whole event with nothing at all
Can someone explain to me the relationship between the Zabraks and Dathomirians? I always thought the Nightsisters were their own species and synonymous with Dathomirians, while the Nightbrothers were just some male Zabrak colonists whom they subjugated, and that Talzin wasn't *literally* Maul's mother. But apparently she is, and the Nightsisters have been made into a sub-species of Zabraks where females lack horns? But also they came from another galaxy now? I guess the original Nightsisters were a human-like species who came from the other galaxy and bred with the original Iridonian Zabraks, creating the new Dathomirian Zabrak sub-species with hornless females? But then why does Asajj's wiki page lists her as "Zabrak (Dathomirian)" while Morgan's lists her as "Human (Dathomirian)?"
>>154001756>Thanks. Where did they go and what were they looking for?To an ancient planet called Peridea, located in a galaxy simply described as "far, far away". It is only known of in the main galaxy via legends and tales. They use one such tale taught to younglings in the Jedi Temple, as well as an ancient Star Map, to figure out the location of Peridea. They were looking for characters who had disappeared from the main galaxy just before the start of ANH, Ezra Bridger, a Jedi Padawan from the show Star Wars Rebels as well as imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn.
>>154016513You got it all, basically, sunce there's no official explanation, as for morgan, I think she wasn't supposed to be a nightsister when she was introduced, so when Filoni decided she was one, i.e. stole the idea from fan theorists, he had to explain why she wasn't grey, so she's a human, her family probably adopted into the nightsisters.
>>154016671Thanks. I suppose Morgan's family being humans adopted into the Nightsisters can make sense. I think in Ahsoka she mentions her ancestors coming from the far galaxy, but it could be that she is like 7/8 Human and 1/8 Dathomirian.
Man, I had forgotten how bad Book of Boba Fett is, and it get's worse with every episode, with a brief intermission for Mando to build a fighter, then it's back to shit.Stupid plot, brain dead characters, very bad fight choreography, and other stupid shit like the Hutts being the villains for hal an episode or an ancient Cad Bane showing up.
>>154016513>>154016671Tales of the Empire showed her being adopted by the Mountain Clan, who appear to be made up of humans. They show her mother as being a Dathomirian Zabrak, so it's possible that her father was from the Mountain Clan, or just that there was a small subset of human Dathomirians among the Zabrak Dathomirians.Dathomirian Zabraks are hybrids. Canon has Iridonian Zabraks be heavily involved in colonization in the ancient past. Dathomirians originate from Peridea. Likely what happened is back when Peridea wasn't a 'dead world' and the Witch Kingdom of the Dathmiri was still active, there was heavy interbreeding between the Dathomiri from Peridea and the Iridonian Zabrak colonists, eventually creating a new species that completely replaced the pure Peridian-Dathomiri. >>154017205Book of Boba Fett was good for its first two episodes. As soon as they fridged Boba's found family tusken tribe in the next episode it all went downhill
>>154017205It gave us more Fennec so I'll always be grateful
The exact moment you can feel the Filoniverse and whatever it was originally working towards fall apart. I'm not usually quick to blame Disney for shit, but you can tell exactly when they overstepped and ruined the momentum>Mando Season 3 could have been focused on Mandalorian lore and finding the new ruler>While grogu and Luke spinoff into a new Jedi Temple series / subplot to Ahsoka>With Rangers of the New Republic taking the helm of GCW aftermath and Imperial Remnant plotlinesInstead, the studio panicked at the prospect of a Mando season without Baby Yeed, so Book of Boba was haphazardly reworked with the sole intention to get them back together. In that moment Luke Skywalker lost the plotline that was being set up for him, the cancellation of Rangers forced Mandos storyline to focus on New Republic shenanigans, which meant the Mandalore plotline was preemptively retired AND removed Boba Fetts agency from the future of the mandoverse. No Luke. No Boba. No mandalore. Just Din and Grogu, with absolutely no goal or endgame, trudging through the remains of what could have been a really cool intertwining narrative.It's no wonder Filonis event film was supposedly retired, because the only thing that's still moving forward confidently is Ahsoka. It makes me so sad.
>>154018066I'd love to meet the exec who thought baby yoda was in any way a selling point or audience draw after s1
>>154017271Thanks for the clarifications.The Nightsisters originating from Peridea makes me wonder if their magic has little to do with the Force as we know it and if different galaxies have their own magic systems. Assuming the Force originates from the mystical planet that Yoda visits near the end of TCW, and the Nightsisters' "magicks" come from whatever is at the heart of Peridea's galaxy, one wonders what kind of supernatural stuff other galaxies might have, and how might play against each other.
>>154018973I think that the intention of having the Nightsisters originate from outside the galaxy was to confirm that the Force is a universe-wide phenomena in the SW setting. Tho it could be further explained in S2, let's wait and see.
>>154007721>Those things are only true if you accept them as an inevitability,They are, objectively, inevitable. People do things that create the dark side. Animals do things that create the dark side. Single cell organisms do things that create the dark side. Living things, regardless of if they accept it or not, do things that create the dark side.The Dark Side of the Force is natural.
>>154019114Maybe some underlying mechanics of what we would call "the Force" are universal (otherwise Ahsoka and friends wouldn't have been able to use the Force on Peridea) but it manifests in different ways, e.g. perhaps the Perideans don't have Midichlorians but rather something else, and that might also be why they have different abilities (to my knowledge the Jedi and Sith can't conjure objects out of thin air like the witches do)
>>154017271>Dathomirian Zabraks are hybridsI thought this too but Pablo said they weren't. Of course I can't back this up but someone I knew with a twitter account asked Pablo back when he was posting if Dathomiri were hybrids or not because I kept INSISTING that they were hybrids and Pablo, by proxy of friend, basically shot me down. Zabraks are indigenous to Iridonia and so that must mean that the Nightsisters as we know them must've just adopted the culture from whatever the originals were from Peridea. Basically think like the EU Sith where they were first the Sith species and then others came in and appropriated the identity.
>>154018066>FiloniverseI do not appreciate this term. It implies as though it's separate from canon when we only have one canon. We need this term to die.
>>154018351Anon don't kid yourself
>>154019248There's a difference between the natural cycle of life, which inherently includes violence through predation, and the unnatural uses of the Force that dark side users practice. The Wookies for example still hunt as a civilization, but they do it out of necessity, not cruelty, and understand it's part of how the ecosystem works. Even the Jedi understand death as the natural end of things and do not view it as something evil. Dark side users on the other hand pervert the balance of the Force (which can be understood as the laws of nature) by actively undermining it or alter it, via dwelling and acting upon emotions far more than what they should, or doing things like trying to cheat death and bend the Force to their will (which is what Plagueis was doing). In short, what you describe is not the dark side since that just how nature works, which in SW is what is reffered to as the Balance of the Force. The dark side is unnatural since it goes out of it's lenghts to destroy them.
>>154012529I wanted beyond reason for Squadrons to emulate this scene and it's failure to do so led to my immense satisfaction with the game.
>>154019397Filoni does think a gush of wind and a force push are the same thing.
>>154019397I think it's fine to use as a catchall for his initiative. I don't think anybody actually believes it's separate from canon
What Dave Filoni should be doing with Arica's eventual first appearance, but won't.https://files%2Ecatbox%2Emoe/2zm0yk%2Emp4
>>154019314In a more meta way, if we take the opening crawl into consideration, SW DOES take place in our universe, and we humans on Earth can't experience the Force in any really considerable capacity (or at least compared to what is shown in the franchise). So you could argue that only certain regions of the universe experience that phenomena, or that it used to be common but the evolution of the Cosmos has dwindled those energies away (since SW takes place in the distant past from us).
Forces of Destiny MILF Ahsoka is so fucking hot. I'd rather watch an entire show even in this cheap style that was made for a show for literally 4 year old girls than the fucking travesty that was live-action "Ahsoka". And you can't replace Ashley. She is the character. She gives a billion times more soulful, emotional, better and fun performance in these 2 minutes low effort shorts made for YouTube Kids than fucking Rosario Dawson in a show that cost over a hundred million dollars to make. God, I can't stand Disney+ live action garbage. Filoni is such a fucking retard.
>>154019578Dawson is generally a pretty good actress. I'll say the fault lies in Filoni trying to be a live action director (you generally don't start a live action directing career with a massive budget high profile show) and in his god awful writing for his favorite character.
>>154019361>but Pablo said-If it's not actually said in an officially released title, it's not canon. And even then, if said title is not a movie or a TV show, its very flimsy canon that can get retconned at any time.
>>154019745>Dawson is generally a pretty good actress.Couldn't tell you. Never seen her in anything else. Regardless of Filoni's shitty writing and direction, she still sucks. Her voice is nothing like Ahsoka, she doesn't feel like the character at all, and she's built like a fridge, can't move or fight for shit. She can't fucking emote for shit. Regardless of everything else outside of her control, she's still a miscast. No offense to her. This cartoon for little girls that cost $5 to make has characters more expressive than live-action.
>>154019428>In short, what you describe is not the dark side since that just how nature worksIt's not the Dark Side, things that happen in nature CREATE the Dark Side. Whether cruelty or malicious intent are involved or not are not explicitly required. If a predator hunts for food and kills, that creates the Dark Side. When two things get into a fight, for whatever reason, that creates the Dark Side. When something gets injured and feels pain, that creates the Dark Side. When something dies, for whatever reason, that creates the Dark Side. These things are inevitable parts of life and thus are natural. Where there is life there will always be the Dark Side of the Force. But there will be a necessary amount of it. Balance in the Force is the Force in it's natural state. Which effectively means X% of the Dark Side and X% of the Living Force. There's always going to be a little bit of the Dark Side because the things that crate it are inevitable parts of life itself. But then when you have a near galaxy spanning war, and a tyrannical regime that spanned as much ground as the aforementioned war covered, that INTENTIONALLY did things to create an unnatural amount of the Dark Side because said regime was being lead by monsters from galactic myth, it threw the Force out of balance.The Dark Side is natural. There will always be a bit of it because of the nature of life. The Force IS yin and yang. George's symbolism with Mortis is quite clear. He once said that the Dark Side was cancerous, but he had clearly fleshed out his ideas on that since. And it's fine if you don't like it, as you clearly do not. But denying what the Force is at this point is getting you nowhere.
I know everyone hates on Filoni, but is there anything he’s done or added to the franchise that you actually like? besides sexy teen Ahsoka of course
>>154020062I like his work with Lucas and later Witwer to develop Maul's character
>>154020062>I know everyone hates on FiloniI don't.>but is there anything he’s done or added to the franchise that you actually like?Yes. Everything he's made. He's shown that he gives a shit and is the one who pushes for shit to be closer to George's vision than anyone else. Which is unsurprising considering he was taught by George. My faith in him was cemented since Rebels and he hasn't disappointed me yet.
the kid Ahsoka figure with tube top and big tits was canceled because of all the complains...
>>154007644Who would be Quattro?
>>154020165The figure was shit anyway. Ahsoka was never this fat and her face wasn't shaped like a fucking egg. And they did make her boobs weirdly huge, and they are like a weird sculpt crudely attached to the body. That figure looked truly fucking atrocious. But it's pretty funny. It already costs $1000 on ebay. If they'd just let it sell out normally (it's only 2500 copies) no one would give a shit. But now they made a scene out of it, and it has already skyrocketed in price and fame.
>>154019978The cancerous interpretation of the dark side is what prevails throught the movies, which is ultimately the main thesis behind SW. As you mention, DWELLING into certain aspects of existance further excaserbates the imbalance, but they alone are not a part of it on their most basic form. A non sentient animal devouring it's prey is not a cause of the darkness since that's all it knows, and doesn't relish upon it to make himself stronger in the Force.Also, just because a new piece of media provides a new interpretation, it doesn't mean it should override what previous came about, either for fucking up the mechanics of the work (which is always brought up in media discussions) or by seemingly contradicting a work's themes; TCW in particular did that a lot. Hell, even George (despite myself admiring most of his works deeply) fell into that; he insisted on the Jedi being correct in their approach to attatchements and believed Luke's order should follow that example, despite RotJ showing how NOT abandoning his feeling for his father is what allowed him to redeem them. The later addition of the prequels even made that point a better resolution since it has Luke redeem the Jedi as a while by fixing one of their Main problema as an institution.
I liked the live action Ahsoka tbqh. She is more recognizable as her character than Hera or Sabine at least. I'll admit she is perhaps too stoic and bland, but I kind of attribute it to the character being more mature, and also she gets better as the season goes on. Maybe with better direction she would have done better, but more crucially I think they need to do something about the face paint and/or montral prosthetics because it often comes across like she is straining to do anything in them. The one thing that annoyed me though was that she kept crossing her arms in pretty much every single scene, I don't know if it's Dawson or Filoni who decided that that's what her character should be doing all the time bit it became very distracting very fast
>>154020062I don't like the World Between Worlds and teleporting sapient loth-wolves and that kind of shit. But for the most part I'm cool with the guy
As much as I like the Bounty Hunter story in SWTOR, I fucking hate the ship, the D5 Mantis has a cool core, that's ruined by the fact it's 3 sublight engines are all held away from the hull by flimsy struts, they are the most obviosu weak spots ever, and if an enemy manages to hit one, at worst you are dead in space and at best you are now flying in circles.
>>154020062I liked Tales of the Jedi a lot and the Maul show has been okay so far. Rebels had some good moments, though I mostly dislike the series. It's his live-action stuff that fucking blows big time, and I hope he either got his shit together for S2 and recovers himself and Ahsoka's character somehow, or he steps away from live-action, because clearly it's not working out that well.
>>154020224>The cancerous interpretation of the dark side is what prevails throught the moviesNo, it does not.> but they alone are not a part of it on their most basic formYes, they are.>A non sentient animal devouring it's prey is not a cause of the darkness since that's all it knows, and doesn't relish upon it to make himself stronger in the Force.Whether it gets a kick out of killing something is not what does it. The fact that it killed at all is what did it. It's motivations, beit purely for survival or for malice, doesn't matter. Which thus means the Dark Side to being natural.>Also, just because a new piece of media provides a new interpretation, it doesn't mean it should override what previous came aboutYes, it most certainly does. Especially when it comes direct from the media's original creator and, at the time, it's owner.>Hell, even George (despite myself admiring most of his works deeply) fell into that; he insisted on the Jedi being correct in their approach to attatchements and believed Luke's order should follow that exampleBecause the Jedi WERE correct. Luke SHOULD follow their example in adhering to the Jedi Code because there was never anything wrong with it. Where the Jedi failed was that they became too concerned with the bureaucracy of the Senate at the expense of serving the will of the Living Force as much as they serve the public trust. That's why Qui-gon is the moral compass of the entire franchise. He's what the Jedi were supposed to be. And despite that he bent the rules where he had to, he still followed the Jedi Code. If he completely disregarded it, he would not longer be a Jedi Knight, which he never stopped being.>despite RotJ showing how NOT abandoning his feeling for his father is what allowed him to redeem themThe Jedi Code does not forbid having feelings or emotions. It doesn't forbid having bonds. The Jedi encourage bonds. They forbid being possessive Which Luke never was.
>>154020318>make a male BH in swtor>dude sounds like a guy in his 40s who smokes two packs of deathsticks a day>your class love interest is the 16 year old hacker girlI forgot how fucking based BioWare used to be. The game is full of shit that wouldn’t fly nowadays.
>>154020062I like how he includes more fantastical things like the hyperspace whales or teleporting wolves.To me Star Wars has always been basically a Fantasy story that just happens to be in a Sci-Fi setting, and its the fantasy parts that make it more unique.Its probably why I could never get into watching Andor, its just plain sci-fi which can be literally any other franchise but isn't really SW to me.
There better fucking be an expanded version of holo tactics in jedi 3. This is a fantastic concept.
>>154020062ahsoka was georges idea, along with the tube top and miniskirthonestly i can't think of a single thing he's done in star wars that i've genuinely liked, he's just the harbinger of the enshitification of the franchise almost as much as abrams and johnsonhe did, however, direct one of my favourite episodes of atla, the blue spirit
>>154021660I'm too busy being filtered by this bitch right here
>>154022798I haven't gotten to him yet. Also whoever made this game was clearly a CIS chad, because the battle droids are all excellent. The magna guard fights in particular are fun as fuck.
>>153998561depends.if the power gas container is new (directly after replacing) it could have been left in storage state where gas is not let into the chamber.Also some blasters have charging bolt as form of safety or to manually let gas into chamber on older blasters that tend to leak.Military issue (storm trooper, clones, CIS ect) don't have this feature due to cost cutting.
>>153996050SEXOOOOO
>>154021660I didn't even know this was in the game
>>154019114>>154019314Wait a fucking minute, are these statues of the Mortis Gods on Peridea?
>>154024528Yes
>>154024528>>154024613Think Filoni will have the guts, and writing capacity, to bring the Whills into Ahsoka season 2?
>>154024697No one wants that
>>154016513nightsisters arent zabrak and wookieepedia is wrongthey just assume that if the males=zabrak then surely the women must be too!...despite the fact that we've already seen a female zabrak with sugi etc who looks NOTHING like the nightsistersnothing OFFICIALLY (to my knowledge) says the nightsisters are zabrak, you go on the databank page for ventress or whoever and it'll list species as "dathomirian", zabrak is never mentionedthe logic of the wookieepedia argument would be saying that jacen syndulla is a twi'lek when he very clearly isn't, because "...well his mother is!"plus pablo saying >>154019361and also the retcon that they come from a different galaxy or something so yeah, they can't be zabrakprobably just some nonsense like if the kid is a male its gonna come out as the species of his father, but if it's a female it'll always be a dathomirian
>>154024697I'm sure hypothetically he can cram it into the plot but what would be the point? The story is going to be about Sabine and Ahsoka trying to get back to their galaxy, likely with a B-plot of Ezra and Hera trying to convince the Republic to at least lift a finger in the wake of Thrawn's return (impossible). I guess it can somehow tie into the subplot of whatever Baylan is searching for, but it's probably not going to be the Whills but rather the other galaxy's own thing.
>>154024795>a B-plot of Ezra and Hera trying to convince the Republic to at least lift a finger in the wake of Thrawn's return (impossible).From what I've heard, they won't need to be doing any convincing. The season's home plot is apparently taking cues from Tora Tora Tora and other films of the sort. Expect a lot of naval action.
>>154024888Big if true but I'm too jaded to not be cynical about it at this point. Hera and Ezra will be thrown into a brig along with any intelligence officer reporting on Thrawn's return for disrupting peace or whatever while Mothma says how there is nothing she can do as Thrawn single-handedly unites all remaining imperial loyalists and helps them plant the seeds of the First Order, because Lucasfilm don't have the balls to just ignore the trilogy that poisoned the well and ruined their future movie plans for 7 years.
>>154024888I can see it. Also I liked the fighters morgan used in season 1, the ones with that ww2 carrier plane feel. I hope we see more of them instead of more and more TIEs
>delay ahsoka season 2 so you can do post for it the same time you post for starfighter and get big budget tier space naval action for cheapFor once my schizo theory is something positive
They really should've cut the kid's hair before locking him in a helmet forever.Now he can only ever cut it on his own.
>>154024888It´s confirmed that Thrawn and Ackbar have a space battle during the season.
>>154025683>AckbarThe man exists to get mogged by imperial commanders. RIP
>>154020062I don't hate him. It has to be soul crushing to work directly with Lucas on star wars for years only to watch him sell it to disney who puts a fucking idiot in charge who makes the worst possible star wars movies that are not only uninteresting on their own but also retroactively ruin the post-OT era, severely limiting what you can do before finally handing the job to you and laugh while you flounder to develop anything meaningful from the sea of liquid shit they left you. The man's waifu is all he has left and they even tried to take that away by implying she was dead in the ST.
>>154025776I agree with most of what you said but the man's obsession with his waifu is borderline unhealthy, I don't mind seeming more of her adventures but introducing fucking time travel to facilitate it was a very questionable move, also she would be a granny by the time of the ST, let the poor woman rest at some point
>>154020496>>154020318Alright /co/, post your grand hunt champions
>>154025709He took the Imps head-on at Endor and basically won that shit straight up even discounting the destruction of the DS2.

>>154010893Satine did nothing wrong and was the best thing possible for Mandalore!FUCK YOU.
>>154010893What would the other 3 episodes be?
>>154026827Satine was literally the most racist person is Star Wars, why else would the capital on Mandalore only have people that looked exactly like her?The only non-blonde mandalorian we see in Sundari is this chick from Korkie's crew.
>>154027135Flash forward with baby yoda as a mandojedi
>>154027135Something that has barely anything to do with Mandaloriaons, carrying the tradition of Tales of the Empire having almost jack shit to do with the actual Empire
>>154027167I like to imagine there was just one clan of Mandalorians that fucked like rabbits and multiplied so much they almost outbred everyone else in the city, before Maul and/or the Empire culled them
>>154027135Could be about Kenobi's son
>>154023419
>>154023061Well he's the first mandatory casual filter and I haven't figured out a way to cheese him like I've done with every other hard fight so far
>>154023840Its very clearly something they threw together for shits and giggles but it's very fun once you figure it out
>>154027135Mandalorian War with the final episode having Revan arrive
