https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkVepshZhGcThis feels surprisingly dark tonally and far less gay and lame like usual. What's the catch?
>>218598237>using a popular male character to shoehorn in a girlboss character that will either be the secret main character or will gradually replace popular characterEvery fucking time.
>>218598237It's way too late to be repurposing that canned maul game, there is no space left in shartsney canon
I fucking hate yidney and star wars like you couldn't believe.
>>218598437looks like a character meant to evoke Darth Talon vibes
>>218598237Darth Maul should have used a laser maul that would have been really cool
>>218598237The catch is tonally and aesthetically divorced from Star Wars.
>>218599550God damn it George
>>218598237the catch is another copy pasted girl boss to steal all the attention.
>>218599617Yeah this looks and feels like a better Star Wars. Like i might not be bored and fall asleep as with Andor. Reminds me of the LucasArts video games.
>>218598237filoni/prequelchads.... we are so back!
>>218599844The catch is Andor will be better than this
>>218598237Looks gay
>>218598876It’s *wouldn’t, Sanjay
>>218598237once again, they twist and pervert george lucas' ideas
will you watch her show?
>>218598237>somehow maul returned... again... again...>but he still gets btfo'd by old ben and finally dies
>>218598237This looks awful. More Yidney starslop. I miss pre-2012 SW.
>>218599999>herthey/them
>>218598237OMG STAH WAHS *PARP*
>>218600095>photos you can smell
>>218599950Thanks for the correction, faggot. Noted.
>>218598237>less than one minute in>the actual main character shows upHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>218601598
>>218599550A proper lightpike would be cool. Ironically, the double-bladed saber makes much more sense for defense than offense (built-in riposte at the cost of little strength behind any swing)
Now if they can find a creative team to translate this tone, style and more male sensibility to a live-action project it will begin to make things right (for real this time;)
>>218599999>>218601598If it turns out she's Darth Talon it'll rake in 2 billion views.
>>218598237We're so fucking back
>>218599550I just thought of thisBut are shields a thing in Star Wars?Why doesn’t anyone carry a shield + a light saber?
>>218598237New youtube kinda weirds me out, its like I am watching a webm.Lucasfilm logo looked really cool. Voice acting was nice, felt good and dark, animation is improved so much, liked the DOTFates callback.
>>218605089Would have to be made out of some exotic material to be effective.
>>218605089>But are shields a thing in Star Wars?Yeah.>Why doesn’t anyone carry a shield + a light saber?Because lightsaber is already capable of blocking/deflecting, shield is redundant for lightsaber wielders.
>>218604941Accurate
Maybe the catch is that he was jar jar binx all a long
Maul embodies everything wrong with Star Wars nowadays as much as ahsoka.
>>218598237>What's the catch?Much like the Bad Batch and every other thing Disney has produced it will be a bait and switch for donutsteel ocs who the main character must babysit or otherwise constantly rely on.
>>218605980The execution is terrible, but the idea of Maul as a castoff of the Rule of Two that embodies what it's supposed to represent, more than any modern Sith, is kino.
>>218601598Disappointing but I should have known better.
>>218598237SOLO finally paid off.
Why do they still insist on using that fucking ugly retarded animation style
>>218598237Shadow Lord
>>218598237>What's the catch?I hope to fuck it's not just cut like that for the trailer. I swear if they give Maul the Book of Boba Fett treatment...>>218598437The reason's far more cynical, as the other anon said. It is well known in Lucas' sequel trilogy, Maul would've been the galaxy's criminal overlord and Darth Talon from the EU would've been his apprentice and the Vader equivalent to his Emperor. This is just trying to bank on people liking and wanting George's story going DUUUUUUUDE IT'S DARTH TALON even though, you know, we know the rest of Maul's story. We know he ultimately ends up alone in Malachor trying to turn the Rebels MC into his apprentice, so something happens to this twi'lek. I unironically, genuinely hope she doesn't corrupt so he ends up killing her in the last episode, but Disney's too cucked for that.
>>218598237I mean... I sure wouldn't mind a new version of Duel of the Fates.
>>218604941This would make a lot of retards forget the past decade of star wars's rotting corpse being paraded around, like those two minutes of deep fake luke did in Mandalorian season 2
>>218601598that's what George wanted, chud
>>218599446>Darth Talonthat's a child that's literally just Ahsoka Tano 2.0: darker, half the lightsabers, double the edge, less than 1/10th the relevance outside of this one show.
>>218604941>Darth Talon with hijab >drawing viewsLOL
>>218598237>This feels surprisingly dark tonally and far less gay and lame like usualso it's like maul from The Clone Wars?
>>218598237>show two Inquisitors in the trailer >they are both killed by Filoni's waifu in chronologically later stories What's the point.
>>218598237The catch is that Star Wars media will always degrade to a straightforward good guys over bad guys story by the end, even if it starts "both sides". Look at Andor.You've been told, very directly, Empire/Sith = Space Nazis. A faction that is Space Nazis cannot be allowed to ultimately have a point, and not be ultimately and thoroughly humiliated.
If it was just Maul brutally killing everyone from imperials to pirates to rebels alike it might have been kino. But it will probably just be Filonislop.
>>218598237Its gonna be loaded with woke feminst and diversity shit propaganda and the entire show is going to be a big nothing burger as nothing drastic can happen within the setting because we know how Maul will die, we already know his story arc so however it ends its going to feel hollow. After Bad Batch that was really my last straw with Star Wars because im not going to subject myself to an abusive relationship because some evil corporation holds an IP i like because I know what they will do with it.Like when they bring back Clone Wars for its "final season" and 4 episodes are dedicated to lesbian space mexicans you get a sense of what Disney Star Wars is about.
>>218613588Yes.
>>218613588>hijabTwi'leks have worn headgear like that for 40 years you unfathomable idiot.
>people still care about Star WarsYou people will never stop.
>>218619854>ears are fatty domes on the skullI bet they have excellent underwater hearing
>>218598237Not sure how I feel about them turning Maul's reforged dual-bladed into a split saber.
>>218598237Darth Maul is dead, why make delusional fan fictions?
>218620683 (You)
They're going back to the clone wars animation to try and rehab the franchise...again
>>218619854Do you think that exposed tummy is halal too you absolute gorillaNow rewatch the OP video
>>218598237This... actually.... looks like it might be halfway decent. Hm. But I'm too cowardly to get my hopes up, so I'll just wait to see what /tv/ says. The consensus here is surprisingly spot on most of the time.
>>218604941>If it turns out she's Darth Talon it'll rake in 2 billion views.Oh yeah baby.
>>218622246What the absolute fuck are you talking about brainrotted troglodyte.
You guys can choose to be mad about it, but this is where Lucas intended to go with the story had he not sold to Disney. Get those "apologize"threads out of your system before it's too late.
>>218621263>Disney buys Star Wars>immediately cancels TCW because it was part of the Prequels>replaces it with Rebels because it's OT member berries>first movie they create is a carbon copy of the first OT one making it seem the world was frozen in time for 30 years, movie's director was chosen for being a fan favorite among the People VS George Lucas crowd>first line in the movie is "this will begin to make things right" in reference to the Prequels>...>...>the movies crash and burn>Star Wars goes from a one in a generation event actors like Sam Jackson would kill to be a part of to something people put on in the background and that bleeds lead actors faster than it does viewers>Rebels has a godawful artstyle with pencil thin lightsabers nobody likes, the cast is utterly forgettable and the only bits people ever talk about are those inherited from TCW ie Ahsoka, Maul, Vader, Rex>they get so desperate they do a 180 and try to pander to Prequel enjoyers again with shitload of member berries like a revived TCW, live action versions of cartoon characters, giving Mando a Naboo starship, giving Boba Kamino flashbacks, etc.>the Sequel Era is a toxic cesspool nobody wants to touch
>>218623148Given his Maul and Talon storyline would've taken place some 45 years after this one and would've been the focus of the last trilogy and final adventure of the Skywalker family, not really. See >>218569951. For example, we know for sure that what we lost due to the Disney sale was:>another three full seasons of TCW for eight total, each with 22 episodes >1313>Darth Maul videogame>George's Sequel TrilogyAll of those were deeply interconnected with each other, like Ahsoka visiting level 1313 in TCW, Coruscant's underground being the focus of the Underworld TV show (already shelved by 2010 due to production costs not feasible until the age of streaming came around a decade later, showing as always that George was ahead of everyone else tech-wise) or Maul being brought back at George's behest in TCW and him getting the idea of Talon being his apprentice from the videogame both being incredibly important to his sequels where he would've been the galaxy's biggest criminal lord tying the 1313 angle together with the rest. It was a significant push George made for a unified storytelling under his vision. All of that was lost.
>>218598237KORAHMATAHKORAHRAHTAHMAH
>>218625915Still gets me after all this time
>>218598237they will introduce ahsoka and that girlboss mandalorian and red haired dyke the very next season
>>218626293Thankfully Filoni shot himself in the foot by making it extremely explicit in Rebels that Ahsoka and Maul never saw each other after Mandalore and until Malachor.
>>218602822
Not upvoting until Glippo Fritto is confirmed
>>218598437What else are they going to do but set up Darth Talon for future use? We already know what happens to Maul, he gets betrayed at some point and dumped on a planet then does the Rebels shit until he dies.
>>218605980They're the Poochie of Star Wars.
>>218627138It doesn't have the same impact when you can't see him flinch.
>>218627138>>218627545
>>218599446>>218612188>>218627480>>218604941>>218605939>>218622404>>218619854>>218619699
>>218605980Ahsoka wishes she was handled like Maul.
>>218605618>Because lightsaber is already capable of blocking/deflecting, shield is redundant for lightsaber wielders>90% of Jedi deaths onscreen were from being shot 30 times by blastersDoesn't seem that redundant to me.
>>218627124who said maul will ever be there
>>218627597There it is! Back when porn parodies stood for something.
>>218627764Jedi are samurai anologues who did not use shields. If anything it would make more sense if there were light sabre spears because swords are mostly side arms and most meele warfare was done with spears because of increased range and leverage to the point that there was a medieval sword invented purely to cut off spear tips as a counter.
>>218598876It's the same team that made non-Didney SW cartoons. It looks like it's setting up the possibility of doing Lucas' versions of 7,8,9 in some form. The villain of his outlines was a female twilek trained by Maul.
>>218627764Lightsaber requires speed and dexterity to wield, so a shield would only hinder them. Shield would also not save them from getting surrounded or getting shot in the back - which is how most of them died.
>>218599999That a lot of nines.The voice actress of this twilek chick is the sister of that fugly jewess that /tv/ makes way too many threads about.
>>218604941Even the "Darth Talon" in Lucas sequel trilogy outlines wasn't called that, according to everyone's favorite lorekeeper Pablo Hidalgo. Comic book Talon is from like a century after the OT.
>>218598237>Even more jedi survived Order 66
>>218615940Marrok seemed to be undead in Ahsoka series.
>>218627764Jedi weren't meant to fight in wars and hadn't had as big and long a conflict like the Clone Wars for a millennium. For their day to day peace talks and defending of the weak a laser sword + Force was just fine.
>>218615940>What's the point.I KNOW WHO THAT ISI KNOW STAR WARSI CLAPPEDTHANK YOU GODLONI
>>218629963>Not strapping a shield to your back
>>218620683Lucas is the one who decided he wasn't dead.
>>218630227It would be heavy as fuck and just hinder them. They are supposed to be agile, being able to run fast and jump around. Notice how they wear nothing but light robes, sometimes they are literally half-naked even.
>>218630260>It would be heavy as fuck and just hinder them.Just use a larger version of those Mandalorian laser discs.
>>218627853>why would Maul be present in the second season of Maul: Shadow LordBit of a mystery there. Guess we will never know.
>>218630186Name 30 more.
So will this show have one season or several? Any idea about the plot? From the trailer it looks like rebels (criminal skin) fighting the empire again.
>>218630356>So will this show have one season or several?Unknown.>Any idea about the plot? From the trailer it looks like rebels (criminal skin) fighting the empire again.Seems like Maul comes to the new Janix planet, which has no Imperial presence at the beginning. It will start off as some kind of Noir crime show about the Cop trying to catch Maul. Maul stirs shit up, makes himself known, Empire comes to the place and then it becomes Criminals vs Empire.

So its not a real movie, its like that gay cartoon network show with PS1 graphics?
>>218630659It's a 10 episode Disney+ series.
>>218630565>Jocasta Nu The grandma survived?! Damn, Vader was slacking.
>>218598237This looks so fucking gay.Lucas allowing Filoni to bring Maul back was unironically his biggest mistake before he sold to disney.
>>218632188>>218630241
Anyone see Ray Park's posts on Instagram? What is going on with him? Is he drunk or on drugs?
>>218632188Lucas plans for the next trilogy had Maul as the big bad.
>>218632188Lucas wanted Maul to return, and Filoni initially opposed it. All the bad decisions people attribute to Filoni were actually Lucas's own.
>>218634939>All the bad decisionsAll the based decisions, you mean.
>>218634537Apparently he handles alcohol like shit so gets drunk, makes a bunch of embarrassingly schizo posts online, some time passes, rinse and repeat. Wouldn't surprise me if he was blacklisted by the Mouse due to it. Apparently he uploaded some revenge porn of his ex or something.

>>218639658Damn you sound mad.
>>218635543>like a constant porno, Luke
This retard is one of the worst things to happen to Star Wars.
>>218598237This sounds a bit like Book of Boba with building a criminal empire I don't know why they are making Maul a crime lord now.
>>218645917>don't know why they are making Maul a crime lord now>now
>>218630186The 66 refers to how many jedi were killed in the purge. The rest of the jedi survived.
>>218630186People may rag on about "well even if 1% of Jedi survived that'd still be 100 Jedi left!" but the issue is, they're creating more solo canon stories about Jedi set after Order 66 but before ANH than either before Order 66 or after ROTJ, which thematically makes Order 66, the ultimate slaughter of the Jedi Order, more and more mute. I don't believe that Order 66 was the downfall of the Jedi and the beginning of the 'dark times' as Obi-Wan claims in Episode IV as I'm seeing more and more teenagers with lightsabers set between the trilogies. Especially when they don't even have the decency to die at the end of their story like Ahsoka, so that Vader truly is "all that is left of their ancient religion" and Luke becomes "the last of the Jedi" as per Yoda's words in ROTJ.

>>218630114Would probably bang Gideon, but only if Odessa was in a different city so I wouldn't have to worry about her potentially walking in and killing my boner.
>>218651193Obi-Wan says Vader helped hunt down and destroy the Jedi. Meaning that there were Jedi left alive to hunt down, and he didn't do it by himself.
I will check this out as I'll always love Star Wars even if it isn't what it used to be.
SHILL THREAD

>>218656149It's just pathetic to watch.
>>218598237I guess they realized they'd be eaten alive if they Boba Fett'd Maul who am I kidding people would eat it up and defend it all the same.
>>218619699I could forgive turning Barriss into a terrorist but having her fuck off and become some healer hag on a shitty outer rim planet was over the line. Filoni just has no respect for any character besides his precious Ahsoka
>>218598237It's kind of pathetic how Disney keeps shoving Maul into everything. His story has been told
>>218598237>This feels surprisingly dark tonally and far less gay and lame like usualI think the core premise of the series is good, any Star Wars media that engages with the criminal underworld is pretty interesting, and Maul is a simple character that you can fit in that narrative.>What's the catch?It's obvious that the girl will be the main character (much like Reva from Kenobi and Omega from Bad Batch) and you're kidding yourself if you think this will be dark. I'd be surprised if Maul actually managed to turn the girl to the Dark Side, this is Disney after all.And you can see the end coming from a mile away, Maul will have fun for a season or two, and then Vader will roll up and get him cancelled.
>>218659586>Disney keeps shoving Maul into everythingDo they? He died in Rebels 9 years ago and had a cameo appearance at the end of Solo 8 years ago. Outside of TCW S7, which we knew long before it's revival that George wante him to appear during the Siege of Mandalore, this is literally the first time Maul has had any big focus in close to a decade. Which was fine by me btw, I'd much rather him be ignored than having him ruined the way they did Obi-Wan with the Kenobi show, or Boba with TBoBF, or Ahsoka ever since she didn't fucking die when she clearly should've. Now that that's a possibility a month from now, I'm rather nervous.
>>218616374propaganda 101 tankies love calling everything that
The animation looks really good but holy fuck what a retarded idea to do a Maul show, who cares about him anymoreMake a republic commando series
>>218598237>star wars thread over a day and a half oldyeah this site is fucking dead.
>>218660029Good
>>218659882>I'd be surprised if Maul actually managed to turn the girl to the Dark Side, this is Disney after all.That chick in The Acolyte turned to the dark and sided with Darth Teeth at the end.
>>218660000Surely you can detect the irony between "who cares about a Maul show" and "please make a Republic Commando one".
They're trying to milk this character so hard and there's just nothing left. The way Disney does canon, it's impossible for Darth Maul to ever do anything cool or influence the plot in some way
>>218663242Didn't they make it so in the new canon, his Crimson Dawn organization gives the Rebels the plans for the second Death Star? After his death sure, but he still created the faction and instilled in them a seething hatred for the Empire. That's something.
>>218630186There were around 10,000 Jedi Knights when Order 66 was issued. That's not including Padawans, Younglings, ex-Jedi who left the Order (like Dooku), people who failed their Trials or those who were expelled.Let's be really charitable and say the total amount including all those above is 12,000. Let's be REALLY charitable towards Order 66 and Vader's hunt and assume they killed off 90% of them. That still leaves 1200 Jedi alive.
>>218663999>cont.And let's be honest, I'm low-balling here, because just Padawans who failed the Trials and left the Order would be in the thousands.
>>218658351>I could forgive turning Barriss into a terrorist but having her fuck off and become some healer hag on a shitty outer rim planet was over the line.Anon, that's the actual biggest problem with Disney canon. Due to how they mishandled the Sequel Trilogy every single Jedi has to either die or fuck off somewhere permanently.
>>218647583Now as in the last 10 years I haven't seen all the shows so don't know when this happened.
