I like XWA. It feels great to finally be able to play the Separatists without automatically losing. Getting new toys for my Scum and Empire also felt good.

The whole balance shake up was sorely needed, lists like 3x ARCs or 5x X-wings were pure cancer. I am somewhat cautious about their ability to actually keep the game alive though. X-wing has a huge supply issue, some kits are becoming insanely hard to get. I imagine they'll eventually have to get some sort of 3D printing operation going.

Nah, Inquisitors are fucking stupid, just on principle. The only good thing to come out of Rebels was Ben Kenobi vs Maul duel. Ahsoka vs Vader duel was also great, but was ruined with time travel, ergo everything with them in that show is automatically shit. Rebels is really fucking shit, and it's insane just how much dickriding it gets by retarded zoomers these days. I really fucking despise this show. And I despise that it started the cringe gay ass "found family" obsession trope, and we can't have anything else in Star Wars anymore ever since then.

The animated shows were at least somewhat enjoyable, even if tehy had some stupid parts. (Inquisitors are 'we desperately need red lightsabers in this shit, what do we do?')
The only good movie Disney made was Rogue One, and that one was probably good by accident.
Live action TV shows were one and a half sasons of mando and one season of Andor that was good, teh rest is varying degrees of dogshit.
And yes, it's hilarious that a Chinese sweatshop-made animation like Rebels is more enjoyable than movies and TV shows that cost hundreds of millions.

Pic vaguely related, one of the few good things in SW live action.

>>94320753
Rogue One only looked good and had good action. Characters are all shallow, bland, forgettable and one-dimensional. Story is fucking stupid and makes no sense. The only reason anyone even remembers that movie is for the Darth Vader hallway scene - which was unapologetically retarded, gratuitous and self-indulging. And that scene doesn't work at all with the original Star Wars movie.

Yeah because OT and PT characters were so complicated....

>>94320801
The best part is the space battle over Scarrif, even if the ramming part was dumb.

Jyn Erzo is way too passive as a character, yeah. You could argue she is a good stand-in for the trilions of people who just don't give a fuck as long as they get by.
Her change of mind is too abrupt and comes off as jarring, which is probably due to re-writes and re-shoots.
Cassian Andor is the character with agency, or at least the one who is more active and decisive.

All in all, I think it would have been better from a storytelling point of view to turn it into four mini-arcs of two to four episode in a TV series.
But they were in teh process of firing all teh actually good writers around that time, so I guess we got lucky it didn't turn into complete shit like the ST.

The entire plot of assassinating Mads Mikkelsen for some reason is nonsensical and retarded. I really can't fathom how can anyone think this dogshit is even passable. You are low IQ.

Tbh aside from the OT the animated stuff has generally been better than films. The Clone Wars isn't perfect but it still ends up being better than the prequel films due to actually having the time to develop characters and show off the themes Lucas wanted to tell, as opposed to having to speedrun Anakin's career in two films and having most of the actual war occur offscreen. Some of the Visions stuff was also great. Tales and Rebels were mediocre, but still better than Disney's live-action stuff aside from Andor and 1st season of Mando (admittedly, being better than Disney's live-action SW is a very low bar to clear).

In the Force & Destiny Core Rulebook, on page 107, when acquiring gear, it mentions both in a text and a sidebar that you can lower you morality in order to get more credits, but when I look it up the referenced pages (pg. ~49), it says nothing about lowering your Morality for Credits anywhere, and the Errata says nothing about any of this, either.

I'm with this anon. Jyn being a charisma vacuum is the worst part of the film, but she's good enough to get us from setpiece to setpiece, and the side characters are entertaining. I also enjoy the raid on Eadu, small infiltration team marking targets for X-Wings to drop out of hyperspace and bomb, then zip away. All in the dark, in the rain, for maximum aesthetic mood. Great stuff.

>>94321283
I dig that.

On that subject, what other WWII adventure flicks would you like to see made into SW films? For me, it's Where Eagles Dare. I'm obsessed with that movie for some reason.

>>94323749
The sidebar on 107 seems to still be accurate, just the main text is wonky. I assume that they originally designed it around everyone being light-siders such that having low Morality would be a penalty worth taking in exchange for an XP bonus but then it got reworked and they forgot to update the reference to the new ruleset.

I would've said that it looks like a copy/paste error from Age of Rebellion, but for some reason AoR is the only one of the three core books where step 9 doesn't have the starting credits reminder text or sidebar.

>Thread Question: How dead is Star Wars on the scale from 9 to 11?

I was still a kid when the 2008 Clone Wars started. Despite that, as a former EU autist, I'm increasingly inclined to say that the show pushed it up to an 8 from the 4 or 5 it was at post-Episode III. The show retconned just about everything it touched, which was a lot. And this was adding on to the existing continuity weirdness the prequels created.

Back in 2009, Karen Traviss published a novel, "Clone Wars: No Prisoners" where Ahsoka and Rex meet Gilad Pellaeon and some of the characters from her Republic Commando books. It's downright surreal to read interactions between characters who, in my mind, might as well be from three separate continuities.

Getting back to the question, I'll rate it a 14. If 90% of the Disney+ content hadn't shit the bed, it would probably be more like a 7.

It's just such a glaring thing that I'm surprised isn't fixed in the errata - you'd find it by just going through the character creation process, which presumably most people do. But yeah, I think you're right.

I also suspect that they didn't copy EotE->AoR->FaD, but went EotE->AoR and then EotE->FaD, once it had been decided that EotE would be the blueprint for the other two games, they were probably both forked right off.

Nice Bespin list.
I'd say you'll probably want to reserve Vader to make sure he can kill something whenever he activates, though from what I see you might have troubles moving Vader around outside of his activation.
I'd say Boba, Bossk and Lando synergize well enough with each other and Empire units.
You'll probably want to focus on taking as many objectives as possible while killing support or secondary units, while Lando and Boba use their abilities to shit condition tokens on primaries to help Vader get kills.
>>94327822
What are the expected changes?
+10 points for Commandos, ARC and Anakin I'd say, which will probably be too heavy-handed. They might also nerf B2 a bit, these guys are amazing for corps.
Units with Scout and Recon Intel might also catch a nerf.
What could go down in points?
STAPS, Rebel and Imperial Corps, B1s.
Maybe all the Prepared Positions units since they are kind of overcosted.

Tbh, even if the unholy trinity of GAR all get nerfed, they still have some great units and strategies that aren't being used. For one, it's the Saber tank that throws 8 + 2 + 2 dice attacks at range 4. Two, the AT-RTs with red sabes that block LOS.

hence, tie bomber pilot over a b-wing pilot (i was a massive b-wing nerd, and rebels dropped the ball on that one with its not-super laser. we see the b-wing fire its cannons in rotj, and they're regular blasters; muh prototype doesn't cut it, as you can tell filoni didn't realize you can see them shooting in rotj).

Canonicity is decided by people, not legal documents. I am willing to count the original creator of a body of works as authorative, but the second he's out of the picture, it is left to us to decide what is canon, and most of Legend is, and all of Didney isn't.

Canonically true.

Canonically why are Niman users so bad that most Jedi that used that form died in the Clone Wars?

>>94328619
Empire is just all that wrong with the Republic but worse (although with cool uniforms). Sure, they got rid of the corrupt senators by turning the senate into a rubber stamp, but they just replaced them with equally corrupt moffs. At leant the Republic didn't land a Star Destroyer on you if you protested against the government.

>>94324961
Kelly Heroes, because opportunistic raid at a bank for the riches inside is the most classic war thing.
You could have that even with some Separatist changing sides, even a "captured" Munificent-class could get him renown in Republic if he'd pretend to be their officer, given access to Separatist Shadow Feed, but a Lucrehulk treasure ship would be something to raid and steal from. And then use the funds later to buy parts of Hoersch-Kessel Drive's shipyards after the war, to have their private ship construction.

>>94329842
To begin with, it was intended as a balanced and more relaxed form that was developed as a form of self-defence rather than a primary method of conflict resolution. The philosophy is that other forms that emphasise more aggressive styles or the importance of the lightsaber encourage Jedi to resolve conflicting their lightsabers, rather than diplomatically. So Niman practitioners are mostly just diplomats and philosophers who see the lightsaber as a tool for defending themselves rather than resolving issues.

This means that it has a relatively low skill ceiling and that practitioners aren't really encouraged to practise very often, since Niman treats the lightsaber as a last resort if you must defend yourself, rather than an important part of being a Jedi and resolving conflict.

So when you drop a bunch of diplomatic "violence is not the answer" Jedi who have been caught a more casual and relaxed form that is focused on self-defence into a war zone where the only form of conflict resolution is killing your enemies before they kill you, those Jedi are probably going to get slaughtered while the more martial knights who use their lightsabers more often and practise more aggressive forms with higher skill ceilings more regularly are going to thrive.

Niman works best when it's just one of the tools in a Jedi's roster and not the sole method of self-defence that they fall back on when they've got no other choice.

It's basically just a way of declaring how different Jedi approach combat, it's not autistic unless you make it autistic. It boils down to:
>Practice makes perfect. Training is everything. He who puts in the most work always wins.
>All you need to do to win a fight is land a single hit in the right place.
>Defending yourself from the enemy's attacks is more important than attacking the enemy.
>Strike first, strike fast, strike hard. Waiting is death, offence is the best defence.
>Endure, then retaliate. Wait for an opening. The best attack is a counterattack.
>Fighting isn't everything, all you need to know is how to defend yourself when you must.
>Never stop attacking. Your enemy will have no choice but to defend and will eventually crumble.
It's that simple, in the end.

>>94330392
Combat outcome should always be determined by the story, character arcs, emotional state of the characters involved and themes. Not some established RPG rule set of arbitrarily defined """forms.""" What I am saying is, it is incredibly obnoxious when dumb retarded star wars lore fanboys barge in and try to explain the reason for Obi-Wan not beating Dooku, for example, being that "Dooku's form was superior and a perfect counter to Obi-Wan's form." It is just so lame, so trivialized, so reductive, so anti-art, so anti-story. It is boring. It is unbelievably infantile. It's like when retarded kids argue whose character is the strongest one, constantly one upping one another. It says nothing. It doesn't engage with the narrative on any meaningful level. But that is to be expected from the majority of Star Wars fans.

I disagree. When you boil down the forms to how different perspectives that Jedi have regarding combat, then the form that a Jedi says a lot about their character.
In this example, Obi-Wan is an altruistic guy who puts helping others and saving lives before victory. It makes sense that he would choose a more defensive form, focused on deflecting attacks and saving lives rather than inflicting damage. Meanwhile, Dooku is a bit of an egotist and enjoys being able to demonstrate his grace and superiority by felling a foe with a single strike, hence his choice of a duellist's form, a style of fighting that allows him to flex his finesse for all to see.
So in this case, you're pitting someone who is a heroic protector against someone who is a storied duellist, in a duel. Taking these approaches to combat into consideration, it's internally consistent and makes sense that Obi-Wan would lose such an encounter, even if it also serves that narrative.

It's not autistic as long as you don't make it autistic. It's just a simple as determining how different Jedi fight and why they fight in those particular ways, then contrasting them against each other.

I think the idea of "lightsaber forms" is fundamentally fine. It doesn't really rustle my jimmies either way, but it's FINE as such. The problem is that they're referred to as completely discrete forms, numbered 1 through whatever, with a level of retarded granular autism.

If it was just about training forms and combat styles, taught to padawans and younglings as part of their general lightsaber combat studies, and something you're not meant to or intended to stick to as some kind of idiotic moveset rather than moving from one to the other, that'd be perfectly reasonable. But no, some autist had to go and be autistic about it.

Based Shii-Cho.

The idea of lightsaber forms is fine. It's clearly based on different Japanese schools of swordfighting, which fits the Jedi being heavily inspired by samurai, and when you have different styles of fighting some are naturally going to match better of worse against specific ones.
But a lot of nerds tend to have a very reductive "rock, paper, scissors" approach to the forms, where character A would automatically beat character B because he uses a form that's a hard counter to B's form. In reality, having trained in a style of fighting that matches well against your opponent's style is just one piece of the puzzle. A more skilled opponent will likely beat a less skilled one even when using a style that's theoretically at a disadvantage due to having a better understanding on both styles strengths and weaknesses and ability to exploit them, and the environment the fight takes place in is also going to play a major part (a style focused on mobility is going to be less useful if fighting in a narrow corridor where there's no room to maneuver).

Dooku had nice fight against Obi-Wan and Anakin duo in one of the episodes, where he was fighting in a way that forced the two Jedi fight in complete opposition to their own fighting styles, forcing Anakin on defensive and putting Obi-Wan in a situation where he has to be the one attacking.
All 3 of them were also showing some elements of the style used by Qui-Gon, who was Dooku's student and teacher of Obi-Wan. Which was also the style used by Yoda, who in turn was Dooku's master.

>The problem is that they're referred to as completely discrete forms, numbered 1 through whatever, with a level of retarded granular autism.
But the numbers makes sense if you think about them as when each of them were developed and why they were developed.
Take them also as philosophy on the approach towards combat.

Sounds based, and I enjoyed Kelly's Heroes too so it's definitely watchable.

It's the Shii-Cho philosophy though. More than any other style, it's got the biggest rift between average practitioners and the true masters of the form.

Make them disparate. Limit uniform to a particular symbol or colour, as well as cheap arms and armour that they might have acquired. They're rebels, they shouldn't have access to a military industrial complex to provide them with a strict and official uniform. They use whatever they can get their hands on.

Droids, aliens and humans, all with vastly different aesthetics and equipment, only unified by the orange armbands that they wear or the splashes of orange paint on their chassis.

Rogue One came close to the mark, it just went too far on the individuality and should've had that splash of colour or symbolism to unify the rebel cast.

Retard.

>>94345475
Exactly. Reappropriating gear is a fundamental part of guerilla and resistance warfare. Even during the rebellion's terrorist phase, they should've be stockpiling what's available, which would largely have been old republic and imperial gear.

When the rebellion exploded, there should've been entire irregular squads wearing mismatched repainted plastoid clone/stormtrooper armor and the like. And this is completely ignoring the fact that the rebel alliance elite forces would likely be populated entirely by ex-career soldiers, veterans, defectors, and the like. The idea that they'd not use professional equipment that would be comparable to the regular imperial elite (not counting one-off special-project stuff, obviously) is simply idiotic.

>>94345475
They should until they become the New Republic, then they shouldn't. Early NR I could see using things like ISDs, but they'd want to distance themselves as much as possible. Starships aren't just hulls of metal in Star Wars, they symbolize something.

>>94345643
Most of the stuff the Rebellion is using is repurposed Coreward PDF gear. The Empire nationalized the PDFs, and their gear fell into Rebel hands. It just so happens that symbolically, it fits with the appearance of the Rebellion. There's no reason to use Stormtrooper gear, because the armor they have isn't really any worse.

Army Troopers were the mid-point between Stormtroopers and PDFs, so when the Army Troopers started getting Imperialized, I figure their gear would've gone towards the Rebellion as well.

>>94345643
To be fair, the Rebels are already in a weird place as far as gear goes. Their go-to strike weapon in the X-Wing, a design built off a stolen prototype that they have an apparently inexhaustible supply of. This despite relying on nearly 30-year old variants of the Y-Wing as well.

It would be like, in the fight to overthrow Qaddafi, the Libyans hadn't just been receiving American air support, but were actually flying a mixture of F-35s and A-10s themselves. And the whole faction is like that, their fleets are a mixture of militarized civilian ships and newly-produced genuine capital ships. It makes them hard to define.

>>94345638
I'd legitimately rather read Saxonite powerwanking from fucking stardestroyer.net over modern /tg/, that's how bad it's gotten here.

>>94345698
EU tried to explain the Rebellion strike starfighters as usually being built in parts in a variety of places and then combined at a final destination. The X-wing was explained as especially easy because it was near-identical in a lot of its components from some widely available civilian models (T-16 skyhopper was one I think, and the Z-95 was galaxy-wide and also used a bunch of X-wing components), making sourcing parts ludicrously easy, so they could just keep building them from scrounged trash. In one of the X-wing novels, it's commented in an aside that dozens of other ships use X-wing parts, and one of Rogue Squadron's Verpine techs actually builds an entire X-wing out of spare parts for a pilot. It's like the ultimate DIY easy-prep starfighter.

Meanwhile, Y-wings had to keep being patched up because they were more difficult to source stuff for (Koensayr made them, not Incom). And A-wings were functionally a fully customised build for each one.

>>94345743
This. Its a damn shame too. I remember when /tg/ used to be the place where you'd mine stuff for games, get commented on ideas, shipchads would post some obscure ship, or go into more well-known ones.

Now it boils down to 4-5 shitposters and the thread cowing down to them.

>>94345694
>here's no reason to use Stormtrooper gear, because the armor they have isn't really any worse.
>doesn't even have enclosed helmets
>PDF gear being as good as stormtrooper gear

Yeah OK buddy.

>>94345698
It's funny, because fleet-wise, the rebels are actually portrayed perfectly reasonably. The complete absence of TIE-variants in the main films is perfectly reasonable from a filmistic PoV, but does occur in EU/Legends canon.

It's the uniform nature of their gear that is a bit weird, and let's be clear that we were originally talking specifically about rebel alliance elite troopers, and how their elite gear really shouldn't be that different from the (normal) imperial elite, because both of them should be using the best stuff available to them, which should generally be more or less the same stuff.

Of course, not being bound by normal uniform standards and the like means that there's still plenty of differentiation between them, and to be clear I think that >>94343845 looks stupid, but >>94345438 is still essentially correct; the SpecForce marines *should* look a lot like Stormtroopers.

I personally think that they should pretty much have a mix of "-trooper" equipment, supplemented with rebel symbols and repairs, instead of red-and-black and a fucking rebel stamp on the forehead.

>>94345643
>entire irregular squads wearing mismatched repainted plastoid clone/stormtrooper armor and the like
This, I agree with. However, mismatched looted and stockpiled and stolen gear shouldn't look anywhere near as clean as uniform as >>94343845. A bit of grunge, disorganisation, mismatching and damage is required to make these rebels look like rebels.

>>94346044
>>94346178
I don't actually care if it makes sense for hidden Rebel factories to be operating, somehow. It makes sense from a cinematic standpoint for the Rebellion and the Empire to look completely different, which really trumps everything else.

Even later on in the NR, they shouldn't be having triangle ships.

>>94345687
That's more or less how it went in the original EU. In the first years after Endor the New Republic did make use of ISDs alongside the OT-era Rebel Fleet ships since they were capturing them from Imperial warlords and still had limited ability to produce their own ships. Later on they started producing their own dedicated capital ships and phased out the captured ISDs, though the SSD Lusankya served in the NR navy until the Vong war where she was destroyed in battle (though IIRC she had been mothballed before the war and returned to service since the NR needed all the ships they could get).

I don't think rebels need to use Empire equipment, at least not en masse.

>>94346738

If you take ANH completely in a vacuum with no knowledge of any other Star Wars content, this scene is actually hilarious. We know from ANH that the Jedi Order had some sort of religious component to it (hence Tarkin telling Vader he’s all that’s left of that ancient religion) and the way that Luke accuses Han of not “believing” in the Force strikes me as something someone would say about a religious belief.

Anyway, keep that in mind when watching the rebellion scenes and when Dodonna tells the pilots “May the Force be with you.” This makes the rebellion scenes at the end quite amusing, because (again, taking ANH completely in a vacuum) instead of Luke joining a totally secular rebellion, it now implies that the rebellion has a whole sectarian angle and that Luke has joined the space Mujahadeen or something.

This is never really committed to but it’s something I always found funny. If ANH was made today I don’t think Dodonna would’ve said that.

Most of the time they don't. They capture a bunch from the Empire over the years of the GCW, but they stay a minority. They use them anyway because the Mon Cals take ages to build ships, and the NR needs a fleet. So if they capture an ISD, they give it a new coat of paint, fix up battle damage, re-staff it, their Starfighter Corps packs X-wings or whatever in (because Starfighter Command is populated entirely by jocks and chads who point-blank refuse to fly a TIE), and then they send it off.

Even doing that alongside making their own ships, they were perpetually struggling for large capships, it was a plot point in like 3 different trilogies not even counting NJO (which had the military largely neglected through budget cuts by the NR government, and then the Vong showed up).

And more so, Obi-Wan Kenobi, legendary Jedi Knight and a former General of the Republic, served Bail Organa, ex-Republic-now-Imperial Senator, who was one of the key players in the Rebellion, a father to Leia Organa, who was responsible for stealing the Death Star plans and was a big rebellion player herself, and who had immense respect for Ben Kenobi. So of course, all of the big Rebellion players knew of the Jedi and the Force, they all revered the Jedi, and by extension, of course they believed in the Force. How fucking retarded one has to be to not get that?

Not a bad conclusion, but it must also be remembered that the Stormies themselves are described at this point anyway, depending on what lore you prefer as inferior to the Clones, at least in terms of military competence. And I have a vague recollection which I want to attribute to one of the visual dictionaries that their armor was also worse, designed to be cheaper and easier to mass-produce, since you now had to make varying sizes since the guys going in them are no longer identical.

If those are both true, then the E-11 may be desgined not as a mechanically superior DC-15A carbine, but as a logistically superior one. It'd certainly be better than the DC-15A rifle with the presumable exception of engagement distance. You can see even in TCW and RotS that the carbine became more popular over the course of the war because it was more maneuverable.

>>94352826
Yes. Or combination of both.

Is Clone Wars an accurate depiction of The Republic or is it limited by budget? What I mean by that is it seems a majority of inhabited planets consist of a handful of 1880s US farming villages with some droid assistance. Even Ryloth in the TV show is basically a handful of villages and one larger walled city.

As a kid, I thought that the state of Luke's moisture farm was because he lived on the Outer Rim or because they chose a quiet life. But Clone Wars makes dirt poverty look like the norm.

My working theory is that the Republic cared more about colonizing and taxing as many planets as possible without actually developing them, so most planets are left on their own as long as they pay taxes and Senate decisions don't really impact them.

>>94352915
No, anon, it's just Star Wars. Entire planet is one biom/one city. Naboo is just Theed. Kamino is just Tipoca City. And so on. Star Wars has never had a realistic scale/intricate world-building. For all intents and purposes, planets ARE just cities, narratively speaking, and hyperspace travel is snappy and fast to keep the pace of adventure up and it is just traveling between cities, essentially.

>>94352915
>Even Ryloth in the TV show is basically a handful of villages and one larger walled city.
Ryloth is canonically a shithole whose only notable exports are slaves and drugs. Twileiks may be one of the most prominent species in the galaxy, but that's less to do with their homeworld being rich and influential and more with how many of them have been exported all cross known space as slaves because some quirk in Twileik biology makes every species horny for their women.
Though the impression one seems to get from various EU sources is that the Republic in general had a bunch of rich well-developed core worlds and a larger amount of poor poorly-developed worlds closer to its rim, many of which joined the CIS specifically because they felt the Republic didn't give a shit about their world unless they found some natural resource there that could be exploited to enrich the core worlds.

I'm not sure it's really a case of one being straight-up "better" than the other. Like, is an M4 carbine better than a FAL? Sure, the M4 is newer, and also lighter and more compact, but the FAL hits much harder at a far longer range despite its age.

The choice between one and the other is more reflective of different views of the role of infantry on the battlefield than it is a matter of pure technological progress rendering the older weapon obsolete.

During the Clone Wars, large-scale infantry engagements were common, often fought at long range in open terrain. And the clones were up against heavily armored droids like the B2. As such, a large, hard-hitting blaster rifle made sense. By contrast, the Galactic Civil War an increase in small-scale engagements at close ranges, in and around urban areas and Imperial facilities. And the Stormtroopers were mainly fighting guys wearing unarmored clothing. A compact weapon like the E-11 suited that paradigm better.

Is that Grevious fighting Imps? What Rebels time-travel shenanigans would enable this?

>>94354434
DC-15 remained in Imperial service as an anti-material weapon by the Purge Troopers before being supplanted by newer designs, so it was definitely a case of different tools for different jobs.

>>94353016
The amount a planet is fleshed out is directly proportional to how important it is to the main characters. Coruscant, Naboo, Tatooine, even Endor have enough material for an entire campaign, while tertiary worlds are at best an origin point for that funny alien PC or that droid who looks like C3PO with a quirky bug head.

The Seperatists, fearful of perfidious tactics being turned on them, undertook a scheme of cloning Grievous near the end of the war. The clone was convincing, but didn't remember all that the real general had experienced to that point hence why Greivous seems like he's just met Obi-Wan for the first time over Coruscant in RotS, it was the clone then. After the clone's death on Utapau, Grievous went into hiding with other Seperatist loyalists and holdouts when it became clear the war had been a charade. He is one of the few who knows the truth, having been so close to the Seperatist command structure. After linking up with General Kalani some time after the events of Rebels, he proclaims the Neo-CIS and launches a campaign to destroy the Empire and those who would see the tyranny of the Old Republic restored.

By Revenge, he's on the Back Foot against Obi-Wan and Anakin, because they'd became masters at Their Forms.

>>94364552
This also bothers me every time I watch ROTS. They KNOW the Chancellor of the Republic is aboard that ship (Obi-Wan and Anakin knew precisely which ship to board, clones were accompanying them), and they fucking blast it to pieces while they're still on board, almost killing Sheev, Anakin and Obi-Wan. So fucking dumb. Revenge of the Sith is a very poorly written movie. It's no masterpiece, not even close. It is, in fact, much worse than the other two prequels.
