I wish lightsaber colors had no meaning
Yes obviously from a viewer’s perspective Red = Bad and Blue = Good.
But in universe, it shouldn’t matter. Tell me what sounds less retarded?
>Vader had a blue lightsaber but he later made an evil one by taking a crystal and torturing it with darkside magic until it bled and turned red as bloood
>the jedi Anakin Skywalker owned a red lightsaber, which he kept after joining the Empire
“Jedi Weapon” my ass, now everyone has one
>>
>>98146231
I still like the idea of them changing colors, but I hate Bleeding as a special ritual.
Anakin's lightsaber starts out as blue, or maybe purple, and every time he is tempted it flickers red. Just a flash, then a moment, a whole scene, after the final battle it never turns back again. Also, if every jedi can have blue or green now, give sith a second color. How come every color is good except red. How come magenta, purple, and pink are all good and red is 100% evil. I liked it better when green was implied to be Luke's special color, instead of being a sign of a jedi having a melee or ranged build in a video game.

Behold my OT purism / autism
>red: Rare natural color. Used by some Jedi, now famous due to Vader. Future Sith use it to imitate or pay homage to him
>violet*: Rare natural color. Used mainly by Jedi.
>blue: Common natural color. Most Jedi wield blue blades.
>green: Common synthetic color. Jedi who make their own blades without the full resources of a Jedi Praxum often wind up with green.
>yellow and orange: Rare synthetic colors. Common among Luke’s students due to the difficulty of acquiring naturally-occurring lightsaber crystals
Despite these differences, Jedi rarely ascribe meaning to their lightsabers. They are weapons first and foremost, the ornamentation is rarely worth mentioning

>>
>>98146231
eh, I disagree, i feel that space monks/space-goths would formalize colors. It just being “what you like” feels too lacking in ceremony and snowflake-y to me.
>>98146501
going pure OT I like the idea of green being a synthetic version of blue, but I dont feel like Vader would be one to intentionally sithify/dark-jedi-ify his sword. with that in mind maybe red is the dark hedi color and yellow/orange is basicly like how green operates, made by dark jedi who are not initiated into the sith/dark jedi tradition of red light sabers like how green is made by those not fully initiated in jedi lightsabers
>>
>>98146501
I kinda hate synthetic crystals as much as I hate bleeding. Synthetic crystals just don't feel as magical enough to me to be used in wizard magic, like making a lightsaber.
>>
>>98146725
> but I dont
meant to say but I DO.
vader would def put as much dark jedi symbology as possible.
So I would assume red is connected to the dark side, just by the ot.
>>
>>98146792
Bleeding is one of the cooler Disney ideas. It actually makes crystals feel connected to the user
That's why the colors = roles idea is so popular, because it gives characterization towards characters unlike just being cosmetic choices that don't matter at all
>>
>>98146296
Jedi see the force physically, so they get blue as a main color, as well as green and purple
Nightsisters see the force emotionally, so they get red(maybe magenta), as well as purple and orange.
A third group, like maybe the Baran Do, see the force mentally, so they get yellow, as well as orange and green.
Other force groups exist and get whatever colors best match their philosophy. Luke gets green because he's more heady than most jedi, Anakin and Mace get purple because they allow some emotion. Plo Koon still gets orange, since he would have a lot of cultural connections to the force outside the jedi. Green Jedi are all literally green. I feel like the saturation of your color is based on your commitment to your ideology. Most are more of a cyan or magenta instead of actual solid blue and red.
>>
Ill do you one better
>Red: Jedi Knights (Sword Masters)
>Blue: Jedi Knights (Diplomats)
Chill Jedi chose blue, Knight Templars went red.

>The rest: DIY colors. Since Luke’s students follow a new tradition, you can grab any color you want. (but red has a bad vibe now)

Fallen Jedi are more likely to switch to red since its old fashioned and aggressive

Some kind of attunement ritual, that would be cool.
I'm never sure what to think of lightsabers. Sometimes they are depicted as being super-important, like an extension of the jedi using it what with "this weapon is your life" or the deference Vader shows to Luke newly-built lightsaber and how it shows Luke's growth as his own person rather than someone following blindly into his father or Obi-wan's footsteps.
But they are just as often treated as mere tools, and not just by darksiders.
I think I prefer them as something symbolic and important.

All this talk of lightsabers' colors remind me of Ninth Jedi. I'm hopeful about it to be honest, but it would be nice to get some news.

Bro, look at her face, she looks like she's 12. The California slut outfit for a 14 year old was already weird in the show but it's whatever, weird glaxy with exotic pagan cultures and all that, I get it. It's aight because the artstyle and her design made her very clearly just a teenager. She looked and acted like a teen. She just had a weirdly skimpy outfit but that was it, we all saw and did that type of stuff when we were 14 if not worse.

But when you make her hyperrealistic and for some reason you choose to give her some weird gerber babyface and bigger boobs on top of that that she did not have in the movie forgive me for thinking that it looks like something Epstein would have loved on his desk.

Just adapt her movie artstyle face into a more realistic one if you really want to keep all your overpriced toys hyper photorealistic. What's the need for the weird ass face? I know they were trying to make a homage to Ariana Greenblatt I think but nobody noticed when they were making it that it would look this strange? They finished it and thought it was perfect? In fact, isn't it worse that they chose the face of a real girl when she was a kid a few years ago and played the character? What gave Ahsoka the pass was that other than the outfit all of her design was very modest and normal and even the outfit was quickly replaced as well in the show anyways. She had the face of a random normal 14 y/o and barely any chest so people wouldn't get creepy on her. Why not just adapt that og design to a "real" flesh and bone look? It would look completely different and not like you like to hang out near elementary schools suspiciously often for a single man with no kids.

Buy the thing if you want, I'm not the police or your mom, I don't give a damn. And if you can look at that ugly thing that looks nothing like Ahsoka and not see anything weird then unsarcastically good for you, but I ain't got no benefit of doubt left in me. Somebody jewish made that thing.

Just started a 900xp Jedi game, the opening days of the New Republic, PCs met up after coming together to help in the assault on Kuat Drive Yards. One PC is a Mandalorian team that showed up to find and secure any beskar the shipyard still has, another is an archeologist that wants to search the galaxy for Jedi relics to rebuild the Order, the third is a pilot that crashed the assault shuttle on purpose so he has an excuse to steal a brand new ship for himself before the NR claims them all.

Capeshit fans ruined Star Wars.

Third world Invincible fans should be executed with a gun.

yah, thats what I mean, Orange sabers either come off as red or yellow to me.

Weirdly green seems to be usually pretty distinct from blue.
>>
>>98146296
>red
Corrupted or synthetic. Only the sith tradition can create either. only the highly force sensitive can tell the difference. The former are more attuned to dark energy and particular powers, especially that of their corrupters.
>blue
Standard. Just a good solid resonate crystal.
>green
Same as blue, higher floor, lower ceiling.
>yellow
Decaying crystal. Often synthetic in origin, or just improperly created or corrrupted by people not properly part of the sith or Jedi tradition. Becomes potentially more sensitive to and so aids in certain force manipulation as it decays, based on its degradation and use.
>purple
Someone versed in Sith teachings but still a jedi. Aware and steeped in it but not tempted by it.
>orange
Same as yellow, last surge of power before more rapid decay.
>white/gray
Ion. Training saber.
>black/invisible
Either an uber saber with the weight and heat of a thousand suns, or an illusionary catalyst that mind fucks people into believing they’ve been cut and so being cut. Basically a force dick measuring contest where you die if you lose.

So, you have a plan to save Star Wars for me?
>>
>>98148950
Yup, Luke uses the time travel dimension to change the past and erase the sequel trilogy, when he gets back he finds himself targeted by a former Imperial, Mara Jade, and her ally Prince Xizor. She tries to seduce him to make him open to assassination, but he dicked her so good she can't go through with it, they team up to fight Xizor and his crew of former Inquisitors.

In the sequel Luke leads a group of tweens and a preggo Mara to find Jedi relics, stuff happens, adventures, he has to fight the Jensaarai and an NR spec ops trooper/pilot that's obsessed with showing up Luke because he hates always being second best to a guy that hadn't ever been part of the NR military to begin with, along the way they discover a new source of kyber crystals since even eliminating the ST doesn't restore Ilum.

Stormtroopers shouldn't even be guarding anything on the tourist planet to begin with.
Andor is normally good with that, it uses imperial army more than anything else in Star Wars, but this random stormtrooper is really baffling.

>>
>>98149113
Why do they have their own armor? Why are they right next to regular Stormtroopers?
>>98149115
Army Troopers = Beat Cops, Stormtroopers = SWAT. We see a Stormtrooper guarding a starport, as well. I figure the Empire is a lot less concerned blurring the lines between military and police, plus I still remember IMPS that had Stormtroopers be like police on long-range deployment. Even a peacenik planet like Naboo has their 'security forces' practically be both military and civilian.

Alternatively, Shoretrooper got rebranded as like the actual police units.
>>98149137
This actually kinda makes sense, lightweight armor for police work.
>>
>>98149145
>Why do they have their own armor?
You think the real life Coast Guard doesn't have their own uniforms, bases and ships?
>>
>>98149106
They're called that but to me they're tropical troopers, even where they appear they're alongside standard Stormtroopers. But looks like they are moreso meant to get their feet wet and be outside among the trees. Course if andor is saying they're specifically meant for shores then there's no saving the idea.
>>
>>98148950
Cash in on what's left of Mandolorian enthusiasm, we're going back to the past and fleshing out the Mandalorian Civil War. Animated movies with big budgets, I'm talking money that will let us match Spiderverse's production quality. Shadows of the PT plot elements, Plagueis and Sheev are making the most of the crisis, hell, maybe this is how Sheev makes his way to or first makes his name in the Senate. Padawan Obi-wan and the not-yet-Duchess Satine meet, fall in love, but their commitment to their respective destroys their chance at happiness. Raid the EU for any good ideas, Jaster Mareel will return in some capacity, and Jango must be included.

>You think the real life Coast Guard doesn't have their own uniforms
I was in the USCG
We got navy BDUs with a coast guard patch instead and a different cover

>>98149106
I judge trooper variants purely on aesthetics. I've soften some on Shore Troopers over time, but I still don't like them much. Something about these helmets (as well as R1's Tank Troopers and the Death Troopers) just doesn't do it for me.

>>98149137
These guys, by contrast, look great. Dunno why they aren't just Scout Troopers, but I'll take 'em. Speaking of Scouts, I want anon's fan design of pic related to be canonized at some point, shit looks cool.

>>
>>98149145
>Why do they have their own armor?
Presumably because it provides some benefits when in tropical or coastal environments. Maybe it's more water resistant, maybe the visor on their helmets helps keep the sun from shining in their eye lenses. The Empire can afford to build ships the size of Manhattan, but not produce a bunch of specialized gear?

Just finished watching Skeleton Crew, I thought it was cute, and I hope it somehow gets a second season. With that said though, seeing Star Wars "The Goonies" really makes me want to see a Star Wars "The Mummy" that takes place on Yavin 4, where we see someone wake up the Ghost of Exar Kun and hijinks ensue. Maybe they can just redo the whole Medjai plot by turning them into Jedi. It could potentially be a cool way to reintroduce Kyle Katarn or Kyp Durron. Maybe even Mara Jade.

That’s about it for me.

>>98149967
They clearly have prop designers who want to do that sort of design work with the patchwork droids in the gotra in the mando movie, I wish we could see more of that for the remnant troops instead of all these masterfully maintained units under rich warlords, the closest was s1 of the mando with slightly dirty stormtroopers

More they effectively purchased his death estate from the CIS.
So, everything he had associated with being the Head of State of the CIS (Subject of course to them being able to actually get to it, hold it, ect).
So I've decided that includes his estate on Secundus, as well as any other holdings in the CIS held worlds. His estate on Serenno is going to be a plot point later though since technically they bought into that can of worms.

I'm looking more for artefacts or interesting bits and pieces he could've had that can become plot hooks. The Sith Holocron is 100% going to be in the pile for example.

what's the thread's opinion on SW D6 systems?
WEG SW 1e? 2e? 3e? Reup? Mini Six? Hyperspace D6? Opend6 Space?


Just saying, my pet houserules are:
-Static defenses for each attribute, total pips x 2.
-Second wild die's 1 doesn't count.
-In Mini Six, Force is a 5th attribute, compensate by giving extra skill dice at char creation, +1D / +2D is fine, +3D is a little OP but ok.
-Body Points are better than wound track, strength total pips x 4(or 5 if you want OP)
-No Soak, instead Damage Reduction (DR) = armor stat.
-Skill pips can't go over the double of stat pips.
-If you didn't declared a second action and the first action was without penalty, second action is -2D.

>>98150200
That's why I said 'Alt-history'
Basically the long and short of the campaign is "What if Palpatine failed to stick the landing on Order 66."
So, everything prior to Order 66 is as canon, everything after it has gone to hell and the entire galaxy is descending into a sort of Sengoku period where there's an Emperor but he's got no legitimacy outside of the core worlds. The CIS survived, Skywalker has set up his own warlord state centred around Naboo, ect.

So, Dooku is still dead as that happened pre Order 66, but the CIS are still a state entity, one that is fully aware that Sheev was mere hours away from tying up loose ends on them and wants exactly nothing to do with the Force going forward.

What's the right amount of people for a "tight knit" smuggler's crew? Is this ship In Swtor, the Smuggler has a crew of 7 in this ship, even though I only see 4 beds in the crew quarters, and 1 bed in the captain's quarters. For an EotE game I'm going to run, I'm thinking of having players find the Swtor Smuggler's Corellian XS Light Freighter, and take it as their own. Despite being 3500 years old, it had illegal modifications to make it one of the fastest ships in the galaxy. I think.

do people legitimately not like the clone wars movie? The one with the baby hutt?

I just rewatched it and it was pretty entertaining, not great, but completely fine overall. The only stand out negative is the animation, but most of the worst of it is background stuff, for most foreground things, and especially the lightsaber fights, they are pretty good. In fact, I would say the action scenes in particular are pretty stand out. Oddly enough I feel like its one of the things that shows captain rex in the best light. In fact, both the clones and droids have some good characterization in it. The first city battle, the one climbing up a verticle pillar, obi vs Ventress, and Anakin vs Dooku are all great.

Plot itself is nothing to right home about, but anakin learning to embrace the roll of a mentor as a hot head himself is a good dynamic. And while ashoka isnt fantastic, it is nice to have that over-eager padawan energy.

Overall I think its a very good encapsulization of the clone wars as a whole. I remember there was a lack of actual front lines battles in the series proper.

>Mini Six
I specifically tried out mini six because I thought it would be more aproachable for solo play. Havent played it with a group yet since mine has a set dnd schedual, but I did use mini 6 specificly in a star wars setting for a solo campaign to test it out.

I really did enjoy it. I liked the distribution of the d6 system with pips chipping in as a nice way to introduce incrementality where a straight d6 system would feel too boom or bust. I felt like there was a good balance between chance with riskier things and being pretty secure when you roll something you have high dice bonuses with. I especially like how its combat really pushes you to fight in a more modern-ish style skirmish and cover gameplay compared to d20 style distance management and more static positioning. There being 4 defensive options plus the ability to dive for cover really gives it a more star wars blasters and lightsabers style combat flow compared to a premodern swords armor and arrow feel. Cover gives you a big bonus and flanking really exposes you. Being able to split actions is also nice, though you do kind of have to build your character with clear priorities to use it well with the -1d to each action. Its easy to make a very impotent character if you arent careful. I like the stats blocks, I find they are a nice balance between simplicity and characterful.

Seeing as you are also using mini Six, I also got the sense that it could really use a 5th attribute, but force imo is too character specific for that. instead I would personally cut Agility in two to stop agility-bloat. One that has to do with full body acrobatics and coordination, maybe keeping the term Agility, and the other to do with hand dexterity, called dexterity. Han solo is no ballerina, stepped on a twig and alerted a scout trooper in RotJ, but he is handy with a blaster and a hot shot pilot. So he would have high dexterity, but medium to low Agility.

It's fun and full of soul. Yeah, it's junky in a lot of places, but there are many cool things about it. The series also retroactively made it much better, as there are a lot of moments that hit you in the feels, knowing what happens next. Also, Ziro is funny as fuck. Stuff like that is not possible in the current year, only Lucas was crazy enough to come up with something like it.

I like all that you mention too, I even integrate the fog/smoke/lighting cover modifier from breachworld and it increases the tactical options very nicely.

Light smoke/fog +3 to TN
Thick smoke/fog +6 to TN
Very thick smoke/fog +12 to TN
Poor light, twilight +3 to TN
Moonlit night +6 to TN
Complete darkness +12 to TN

>I would personally cut Agility in two to stop agility-bloat
I like your idea, specially when GMing, (but when I play as a character I like agility-bloat to min-max, lol). I also always thought the word "dexterity" would cover one specific field better, and the other would be agility. So one is fine motor skills, eye-hand coordination, etc, and the other is for whole-body movement.

>but force imo is too character specific for that.
My reasoning to include a Force 5th attribute while using Mini Six is not my original idea, is based on Mini Six optional rules (at p. 18), this optional rule called Paranormal Abilities in the Mini Six Bare Bones book, it is for magic users and psionics, it is basically "The Force" if playing SW, of course I limit it to SW lore.

To balance it and not make it OP, no extra attribute die are given. (also characters can have 0 paranormal D), and their skills are "quasi skills": at character creation you buy them with attribute dice instead of skill dice, they don't have sub-skills specializations, and for advancement you can buy their pips with character points at the same rate as skill pips/dice.

My players don't use it that much tho, they are the brawler type or the techie type, so they keep things simple. I narratively give them bonuses when using the force, buffs, etc.

holy lucky.
I play at the local library, so we kind of have to get our system in early cause we will be playing that for the next 5+ months. there is 1 and a half tables, one is consistant and its pretty much alays dnd, the other is more intermittent and can be a veriety. Think I played that one game with success and fail dice once thats also star wars, but d6 is more of my taste in terms of crunch to fluff factor. I might try to set up an actual session though sometime.

I like your idea about smoke, could make smoke grenades a really useful item. That paranormal section in the book is interesting, but imo, just to lessen mental bloat I just made it a normal skill. Which tbf I could see really being taken advantage of if I was a dm for players, but when soloing, I tend to have the restraint to only give force abilities to those it would make sense to have them.

I set up a mini solo scenario to test it out. I played as a freelance intel operative with some jedi training, but nearly no aptitude for telekinesis, Coran Horn style, And a Bothan FIghter pilot who knows whats up in a scrap. Hired to take out a corrupt imperial officer who was selling vacationers on a ski resort planet. Was cutting into the resort's profits so we got hired. Did some recon, gave a Imperial DMV officer a flower with a hidden camera, and got a good view of the imperial office interior and codes for the back door. Bothan saw a speeder truck occasionally coming to the office to pick up suspiciously human shaped boxes. We snuck in with the gathered intel, set up secrete cameras for evidence of the transaction, then springed an ambush during the drop off, firefight ensued, Intel officers decent shooting, a nice grappling take down, and a jedi mind trick combined with the Bothan's Great shooting and a flank did the job and took the imperial official alive. Thats where I stopped, but I think a get away chase will be in order.

My critique wasn't the system, it's the design. The Imperial Army troopers look lame as fuck and don't fit the consistent, faceless and scary look the Empire should go for.
>>
>>98152710
I prefer the version presented in Maul, where local systems have their own deal, and call the Empire if something is serious enough, and the Empire shows up with stormtroopers. Maybe some specialized units for specific things, but there is no generic Imperial Army, there's troopers, officers, and ship crew. No traffic cop troopers like in Solo, no "shore" troopers, just the standard guys, and maybe extreme/unusual environment teams (Hoth, Endor, Tatooine etc) and SWAT, the guys with the heavy repeaters, rocket launchers and sniper rifles.

The Empire isn't the UN, it is a nation-state. It should wholly and completely erase local identities where it can. Of course, not the entire Empire is like that. The Maul planet is more like a third world shithole getting police actioned.

>It should wholly and completely erase local identities where it can
Which is what local authorities were afraid of in Maul, they didn't want to call the Empire because they didn't want them to set up a permanent presence.

C'mon man, Mace got off his ass the first time when he whipped Palp's ass, it's not his fault that he was so into the moment that he got snuck by Anakin. If anything, if Anakin had stepped in to help deflect the lightning, and if Anakin had taken the final stroke to kill Palp, Mace probably would've formally named Anakin a Master on the spot. We could've had the future with Anakin as the future Grandmaster of the Order. Where the Council sanctions his relationship with Padme because the chosen one's bloodline should be preserved. Everytime I watch RotS, that's what I'm hoping that part changes to.
>>
>>98152947
You're right, but the failing is mostly Anakin's, he didn't understand the Jedi's ban on attachment, if he did he could have been openly married to Padme and not had any problems. But, you can't give away the answer to a lesson like that. Yoda almost did, but Anakin was too thick, or just too caught up in his problems, to hear it.

The OT trillogy really deserves props for how well it lays out the mechanics of things in this universe. It really conveys how things work with minimal attention. The amount of stuff that outlines how fighter combat works during just the trench run is really staggering. Changing where you put your sheilds, targeting taking a bit to take effect, crafts having different combat and flight modes, etc.
>Same here, good balance
Yah, hits that balance between crunchy enough that you can make a fleshed out concrete feeling character, but flexible enough that you can easily spitball situational things without having to think about all the run-on mechanical consequences.
>That sounds like fun, why did you stopped it?
Well, It wasn't too long ago. I was like 40 minutes in and felt tired with it so I stopped to not burn out. I'll probably pic it up when the mood and mentality strikes me. Depending on my mindset, Solo can either be an engaging pastime, or annoying, OCD irritating, busywork, so I try to play it when I am in more of the former mindset than the latter.

Members of the 413th Armored Penal Legion operate on remote or highly dangerous worlds. Resupplies are rare, so smart soldiers learn to make do. Many kitbash their armor by scavenging from other legions who fled or were broken before the 413th arrived.
They typically act in a delaying capacity: Penal soldiers arrive en masse and stem the bleeding while the brass decide on a course of action. Due to their inferior discipline and unusually cruel tendencies (even by Imperial standards) it is rumored that the 413th are deployed to simply punish whatever world they occupy.

This happened to Sharpe, way back when. With "shiny" troops you only need as many uniforms as will be displayed at once, especially if faces are covered. The same 12 guys can appear onscreen again and again. If you have kitbashed or uniquely weathered costumes then the re-use is obvious, and so the number of unique pieces needed goes up precipitously. Continuity gets harder too.

Buddy, Star Wars hasn't changed. It will never have the tone you want, it's been the same the whole time, not even Disney's shitty writing changed that. That space opera genre you dislike, is in everything, even Andor. Because the end of the Andor storyline is Rogue One, where a climactic battle decides the fate of the galaxy and featured a mystic blind guy and an evil cyborg space wizard that lives in a lava castle. You can try to talk shit about people who prefer the original trilogy all you want, but the franchise never moved away from it. You can prefer the prequels all you want, their tone and genre were still dictated by the original films anyway.

But I know you don't actually mean anything you're saying, you just want a fight.

It's not really a huge drawback, more of a cute customization options. It's a way to tie into their faction identity since they'll rely on their clan keywords to give them aims or dodges. Honestly Mando Warriors/Initiates look more like melee units while Fire Support squads should be the one fighting at medium to long range.
Lorewise it kinda makes sense I guess? Clone commandos ICWS is also a rifle/carbine and limited to range 3.
These Mandos use shitty rifle and can only use them at medium range when taking the time to aim properly rather than run and gun.

And all of those decisions you complain about came straight from George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars, who is the creator and executive producer of the show you claim to hate while complaining about Filoni, who was not in charge of it. Ironically, Filoni tried to oppose Ahsoka being Anakin's Padawan and Maul coming back. Only for George to shut him down, because it's his show and he decided that way. Clueless retard.
>>
>>98155611
Honestly he's fine. He fixates on certain things and favors some of his characters too much, but for the most part he's fine. There's just a lot of autists who get this idea that something "should" be a dealbreaker and taints everything a creator does afterwards, but that's because autists struggle with understanding that people can like things that they don't, they get mad when someone doesn't agree with what they think the breaking point "should" be. Filoni's fine. He's not great, just fine. If you want to say he's actually bad, I would direct your attention to Ruin Johnson. Is Filoni good compared to Irvin Kershner? Hell no. But compared to Johnson he shits gold bricks and cures cancer with a touch.

Lucas eventually said it was his feeling she survived Order 66. He probably wanted her to die to Vader, though. Which is far more poetic and powerful than getting merc'd by the clones, which is pretty hollow and pointless. World Between Worlds was a mistake, and there are many things about Rebels to complain about that can actually be rightfully attributed to Filoni. But people choose to complain about things he didn't even do on a show that he didn't even create or executive produced.

Everything you just said, the EU, Andor, Prequels, Rogue, it's all space opera. Everything in Star Wars is, there are no exceptions. So no, there is no content that is what you claim to want. What you're talking about is fanfiction that deviates from actual Star Wars to the point it's not Star Wars anymore. The closest it actually gets, is SOLO, dingus. The only thing in Star Wars that has nothing connected to the Force outside a post-credits cameo. But that's not a gritty war movie, it's a heist movie, so it's still not what you want anyway.

I just don't think she should have ever existed. What's more interesting is why TCW fans are falling out of love with Filoni. Ahsoka being the main character, even if over used, shouldn't be a massive deal breaker to them in my humble opinion.
>>98155666
Sure, George had plenty of awful ideas, TCW, and Filoni's execution of them was poor. Just because George Lucas did something does mean it is good. If that's the case you better prepare to defend star wars christmas special and ewok adventure.

>Maybe it's just Filoni fans are just no longer kids and don't care to defend him anymore?
Personally I think the same thing happens that always does, TCW stared out as a show for kids, which is fine for drawing in new fans, but it's Star Wars, older fans are going to watch it, they are going to share their opinions on it, and the show and animated movie were not made for adult fans. Later on it matured, but hardcore fandoms are slow to forgive, if ever. As for people who complain about Maul, tell me you're a fucking know-nothing casual without telling me, because Spider-Maul and him dying on Tatooine are straight from the EU, they just added more to the story and changed his death a little bit, Kenobi spared him, Owen Lars is the one that dropped Maul for good. And Filoni's version is objectively better. He baited Maul into using the same move he did to kill Qui-Gon, by switching from a Form 3 stance to Form 4, the same style they both used on Naboo, because he knew Maul would fall for it. That's why the fight only lasted 3 moves, it's fucking brilliant writing and people who don't appreciate it are retards.

Yeah, but to be fair they don't really do much more than basic corps and don't fill your 3 mandatory corp slot. Giving Vets Low Profile at the same price made the comparison between them and commandos really awkward even with the difference in speed, now they feel like they work well together imo.

Anyways, I personally believe TCW sucks balls and it's largely Lucas' own fault. I have no issues disliking a lot of the man's own choices, including bringing Maul back despite the fact he straight up said in interviews after TPM he was chopped in half to PREVENT him coming back, something that even Filoni argued against. In many ways Lucas set up bad precedents with TCW that were followed later on by Disney, shit like the modern lightsaber survival rates are derived from late Lucas media.

Yah, in terms of staying consistent with the rest of the universe he really could have done better in the clone wars, but I feel like he did good on the moment to moment characterizations and star wars "feel" without feeling clawingly nostalgic either. Like there arent too many blatent call backs, but will still put references here and there. It made good use of the characters and world elements in play, while also introducing new ones that felt pretty fitting.

Like Anikan and Ashoka are honestly interesting characters in the clone wars, but they dont make sense and arent the same ones we see in RotS. THough it did do a good job presenting Anikan as the kind of hero and friend Obi wan was talking about in A New Hope rather than the manic horny teenager he was in AotC and RotS. SOmeone who is legitamently heroic, but has a seed of darkness that is festering. DESU, I kind of prefer the representation to those two films.


>TLDR Clone wars is pretty good in itself and has a pretty authentic star wars spirit, but falls apart a bit looking at the continuity presented in RotS and OT.

Oh yah, and I just straight up agree the Mortis stuff is awful, no upside on that.
>>
>>98157122
Im a fan of parts of both. TBQH I am an advocate of a small number of different canons. I think canon is important since it allows you to continue on with stuff that happened with some level of consistancy and create a real epic multi production super-story, but it is also nice to have a bit of freedom so that there can be alternate permutations of events. No so many large permutations that it becomes annoying to understand what the fuck the author/director/etc presupposes as canon, but like 2 or three consistent main timelines.

Anons complaining about Maul coming back is crazy to me. It may be stupid, yes, but I recall being a kid and spending hours in Borders reading SW comics, and at least 3 of them had Maul resurrected in some form. I think Obi-Wan fought a hologram after TPM, and the long legged reborn cyborg one on Tatooine, and then Vader fought a clone Maul in a cave or something, that was trying to take back his old spot by Sidious' side. What I'm trying to say is the idea that he could come back always existed.
>>
>>98157593
I don't think the complaint is that TCW did it per se, the complaint is that it happened at all. Just because the idea has been floating around does not mean the idea hasn't always been stupid, as you yourself admit.

I'll confess to being indignant when they brought him back, because it's lazy writing and particularly insulting when you take a dude who got fucking bisected and dumped in a bottomless pit and bring and act like that wasn't immediately and irreversibly fatal. But I've come to accept it, and I enjoy his status within canon as an aura-farming jobber with terminal small-dog syndrome.

The issue is that it was dumb in both places. The EU has a lot of retarded shit that got reused by canon media like Dark Empire becoming TRoS.
Maul coming back is something even Lucas at one point knew was shit. And he doesn't add anything to the Clone Wars period or later periods, his character is weak and barely shares any traits with TPM Maul. It's dull as shit and honestly he could fucking be Tyber Zann for all I care about and he'd probably be the same character.

It's just a flash hider, or at least that's the real-world part they used on the prop. Whether or not that makes sense in-universe with how blasters work, I don't know. Maybe if some excess gas escapes the barrel during the process of firing?

do you think bounty hunters would just drive around in a consular-class?

i always give my party a light freighter because giving them even a blockade runner translates to at least a dozen NPCs under their command
while giving them individual fighters means we now have multiple ships to park everytime theres a scene change

I’m now kind of bummed out that the sterling smg blaster will be the close quarters blaster. But maybe there will be a stormtrooper variant that is equipped with a bullpup blaster pumped out to sell toys like transformers does everything to sell toys except this is Star Wars.

And the bullpup blaster is based off the groza Ak bullpup rifle.
Because the Type 95 rifle looks too modern to me.

This is the groza.
I’m not sure how it will be Star Wars modified to look fitting in that universe.

You don’t understand anon!!!!
The groza has some wood on it so it is old!!!!
Well played though I’m eating a big L for dinner tonight.

Whatever that rifle is I think it might be a better candidate for the prop department to modify for the next batch of stormtrooper variants to sell merchandise.
At this point maybe the standard stormtrooper will be a rarity.

I remember reading an EU era comic about a reader’s letter saying about how Jedi might become too boring or something like that. I think it was from an old republic comic I read a long time ago. I may not even have that comic.
>>
>>98159161
EM-2 was adopted by the British for a very brief period in the early 50s, so it would fit right in with the sterling. I think maybe it has a bit too much wood for a convincing star wars prop, though.
>>
>>98159108
the only reason george did not have AKs on the set of the original trilogy is because they werent selling any
you can bet your ass if AKs were available through surplus, then a random stormtrooper in the background would have had one

but really, the only argument against the AK blaster is that the AK itself is famous
but george didnt have a problem using other famous guns like the MG42 as-is with very few gubbins on them
>>
>>98159196
Modern audience goers, even people who have never seen or shot a gun in their lives, can identify an AK pattern rifle very easily. They've been absolutely everywhere in the news and pop culture non-stop for decades. Most people watching Star Wars in 1977, veterans aside, wouldn't recognize a MG34 or a Lewis gun just from looking at it.
>>
>>98159245
so, the only argument is that the AK is famous?
and the only difference between an AK and an MG42 is that the AK is more famous
but famousness was never a factor in what weapons got blasterized, so the degree of fame should be irrelevant
>>
>>98154649
found the culture war guy from twitter....
>>
>>98159256
It's entirely relevant to whether or not it passes as a sci-fi gun in the eyes of the audience. Also the MG42 was only used once in the entire OT, so I'm not sure why you keep citing that as an example.

>It's entirely relevant to whether or not it passes as a sci-fi gun in the eyes of the audience

because it is an example of using a famous gun and adding very little modification to it to create a blaster
there is no indication they would have felt any kind of opposition to just slapping a flash hider on an AK if an AK was available to them at the time of filming

>its entirely irrelevant to the thought process used in creating blaster rifles
It isn't though? For the precise reason I just explained. If you are creating a sci-fi movie prop, you obviously want it to look like it belongs in a sci-fi universe. Part of that is ensuring that the audience doesn't just say "Uh, isn't that just X?"
>an example of using a famous gun and adding very little modification to it to create a blaster
It's an incredibly stupid example, seeing how the only MG42 in the whole series is seen in this shot, where it's being held by an out of focus background character.
>>
>>98159325
>e. Part of that is ensuring that the audience doesn't just say "Uh, isn't that just X?"
and the design process of star wars was just to get a bunch of real world guns and alter them to varying degrees
if anything, they made a point to maintain the real world silhouette of the original gun rather than hide it, since the mauser retains its broom handle and internal clip

>It's an incredibly stupid example,
but it is an example of literally just using a WW2 gun, as is with minimal modification
its not even the only example
the MG34, which is visually similiar to the MG42, is used a lot and with a similar lack of modification

> Part of that is ensuring that the audience doesn't just say "Uh, isn't that just X?"
except that just didnt seem to be the case of blasters, where they just used guns off-the-shelf and added the minimal amount of modifications to them
they didnt seem to really care about making them "fit into" the star wars universe, outside of flash suppressors and scopes

>the MG34, which is visually similiar to the MG42
But not the famous gun you cited as an example of why the AK being well known doesn't matter.
>they didnt seem to really care about making them "fit into" the star wars universe
Here's a quote from Roger Christian on picking the C96 for Han's blaster: "George always said to me, “He’s a Western. He’s like the cowboy element in there.” So I looked around, and then as soon as I saw the Mauser, which was an automatic pistol, it had a wooden stock -- it was exactly what I imagined would be the kind of future version of a cowboy’s gun. So just sticking some sight on the top of it, like a long-range rifle sight, and sticking a piece of a [muzzle] guard to stop the flash being seen at night…"
>>
>>98159388
>But not the famous gun you cited as an example of why the AK being well known doesn't matter.
the entire argument about the AK-blaster solely rests on the idea that the AK is too famous
except that they never had any problems using famous guns before

so the argument shifts to the AK being even more famous than those other guns
even though fame or lack thereof was just never a big concern in the first place
>>
>>98159401
Jesus, anon, you're just going in circles. No gun used in the OT was nearly as recognizable to an audience in 1977 as an AK is to a modern audience.
>just never a big concern in the first place
It likely would have been had one of, arguably the most, recognizable firearms in the world was presented to George for approval. That is effectively what Andor did. They took a gun that everybody and the brother has seen on the news, in movies, and in video games for the past 40+ years and said "this is a space gun" and it didn't work.

I'm calling bullshit on this. Just counting the period from 1950 to 1970, 165 feature-length films about WWII were released in the US. There are another 13 in the period between 1970 and 1975. A Bridge Too Far, one of the best-regarded, best-remembered WWII films came out the SAME FUCKING YEAR as A New Hope. That's not even mentioning documentaries, books, and the like. You expect me to believe that an average moviegoer in 1977 wouldn't have absorbed, by osmosis if nothing else, the "machine gun that the Nazis used" by that point?

I think it's about gas packet formation. So a blaster basically squirts out X volume of plasma bound by magnetism with each shot. There must be an optimal length/width for the bolt so it flies true, stays together, and so on. Maybe the cone helps to widen the packet to the right size because the ignition method has it too narrow? Analogous to how the chamber and barrel of a slug thrower is where the bullet gets oomph, but then the barrel also imparts spin by rifling to give it stability?

You're the tourist here, retard. Lucas did NUMEROUS interviews before TCW where he said he chopped Maul in half in order to never bring him back. TCW writers like Gilroy stated that for a long time he said he didn't want to bring Maul back until one day he changed his mind. The TCW writers argued with him but he went on for some reason. It was a retarded choice.
>>98158649
AK is far more recognizable than any of those others. Also it's barely camouflaged. Even the fucking Lewis Gun got a set of piping added to make the tube look bulky, whereas the AK there is just a standard fucking AK but without a stock, no differences or greebling or kitbashed parts. Just extremely lazy shit. Also nobody likes the new Boba Fett show either.

Palpatine according to Lucas cared about the Sith philosophy and had a massive messiah complex. Maul was more a psycho but he did have more thought put into his character than the retarded TCW version.

it actually does have some parts attached to it

>Just extremely lazy shit.
so on par with most OT guns, which includes an MG34 as is

I think this is the wrong way to complain about this. The reason it hurts ANH is because, in the opening of ANH, Vader and Leia act like he suspects her of aiding the Rebels, but he can't prove it. One of those everyone knows what's going on but the proof is lacking sort of deals.
This becomes nonsensical when he was literally in orbit watching the file transfer, and damn near successfully boarded her ship in orbit over Scarif.

That same conversation in ANH suggests that Vader has, in fact, failed to catch her in the act before. His failing has nothing to do with why the ending to R1 hurts ANH.

this is a classic motte and bailey fallacy

when people say the imperial army doesnt exist, they specifically mean the EU conception of a giant ghost army of soldiers who are magically more important and more numerous than stormtroopers
so upon being told that this conception of the imperial army has never existed or been supported in any OT movie, EUtards retreat to defend the imperial army existing at all, a much easier position to take

why stormtroopers just cant be a basic grunt exactly the way they are treated in the movies and need to bend over backwards with out-of-movie lore to magick up an army of AT-ST drivers to do the same job as the stormtrooper is beyond me
>>
>>98164412
Not more important, and in some counts based on some sources not even more numerous anymore. Just better at combined arms and cheaper.
>>
>>98164412
Head cannon that the imperial army is German tier.
Completely hollowed out, no numbers etc.
Storm troopers are elite in so far as they exist and are kitted as such in a world where the army doesn’t functionally exist. The internal police/marines whatever are stretched to fulfill every other role besides the navy.
>>
>>98164492
if you want a rank 0 goon with crappier equipment than a stormtrooper, then the navy trooper exists and does everything you want the army trooper to do

but theres just no need to have army grunts other than the stormtrooper and very little in any of the movies to suggest that they exist outside of truck drivers
and even then, it makes more sense for the drivers to just be stormtroopers in lighter gear than being an entirely different branch of the military who exists solely to drive things because stormtroopers apparently dont know how
>>
>>98164412
The Imperial Army made sense for D6 because it needed a mook enemy and Stormies were described as elite
If the basic Imperial trooper was far harder to defeat than the equivalent pirate or security guard, it would make a lot of D6 campaigns either boring slogs or impossible. So it came out of that
But it's retarded lore that makes little sense, much like TIEs lacking shielding or X-Wings being super craft which can take out 50 enemy fighters no issue
Also note this applies too to Disney
>>
>>98164528
the solution is to simply have different tiers of stormtroopers
legion does fine making stormtroopers feeling both elite (good keywords, tough armor, costlier than the rebel trooper) and cannon fodder simultaneously (corp unit that can be spammed and losing individual members has minimal effect on squad performance)
actual elite stormtroopers exist in climate-specific troopers and death troopers
or even just buffed stormtroopers like what blizzard force gets, where they can take more heavy weapons than usual
>>
>>98164548
The issue is that main SW makes the standard Stormies elite
In Lucas SW lore, the standard Imperial trooper is leagues above any other trooper in the galaxy. That's the point. The proper way to fix it would be to make campaigns be mostly against pirates and security forces and make the Empire appear way later on as the final enemies you face but that'd mean not attracting fans by giving them the Empire as the main enemies which is what they expect.
>>
>>98164561
the movies do very little to actually depict stormtroopers as elite
they are omnipresent and do even the most basic of tasks like man checkpoints
they are only mentioned as elite in out of movie sources, and even then its more to do with vaders personal unit and not every single stormtrooper in every single planet
the idea of stormtroopers being on par with army rangers was dropped alongside the idea of them all being clones
>>
>>98164568
>the movies do very little to actually depict stormtroopers as elite
In most of the movies they are far more successful by themselves than the rest of the factions. Whenever they're beaten it's because of the Empire's tendency to underestimate large threats like the Ewok population at Endor
>they are omnipresent and do even the most basic of tasks like man checkpoints
They man the checkpoints at Tatooine because they are searching for the droid. But they are described as elite.
>they are only mentioned as elite in out of movie sources, and even then its more to do with vaders personal unit and not every single stormtrooper in every single planet
No, they're all described as elite and the movie directly hints at such. "Only Imperial stormtroopers can be so precise", them killing all of the Tantive Rebels without much effort, etc
I do like the idea of the 501st being Vader's crew who attacked the Tantive IV and it's 100% part of my canon but I acknowledge that Lucas probably doesn't really think so.
>the idea of stormtroopers being on par with army rangers was dropped alongside the idea of them all being clones
Funnily enough Lucas was still saying that Stormies were clones after RotS. Not sure if he ever dropped it. I don't like it but eh
I'm more a fan of brutal Carida training with clones being the instructors

>In most of the movies they are far more successful by themselves than the rest of the factions.
that means stormtroopers are trained to a higher standard, not that stormtroopers themselves are army rangers

elite units wouldnt be wasted on boring mundane tasks
the SAS arent going to be manning checkpoints, the grunts are going to be

>Only Imperial stormtroopers can be so precise", them killing all of the Tantive Rebels without much effort, et
that does not mean that stormtroopers are elite units, just that stormtroopers are well trained
we literally see stormtroopers doing grunt work in the movie

if stormtroopers were meant to be "elite" it was just meant to be that stormtroopers were better than your average trooper not that they were actual special forces who do black ops tier operations

>>98164626
and checkpoints would be manned by grunts, not special forces
nothing in the movie says stormtroopers are anything other than grunts

legion has the most movie-accurate depiction of stormtroopers
in that they are grunts with a high level of training and decent equipment
we do not need an army of truck drivers who secretly do all the grunt work while never showing up in the movies outside of trucks
