Don't get me wrong, the show is pure visual-orgasm but the action scenes make no sense if you how advanced the Galaxy is, all the cool stuff is never used or it's used just ONCE and then forgotten.

People can't stop talking about characters' canon making no sense, when are they going to start talking about technological canon / coherence being non-existent??
>>

>Centuries of the same level of technology

They're living in the dark ages, a millennia of zero development or enlightenment, living of the glories of past technologies.
>>
>>219860396
there's a gazillion people in the star wars galaxy and at this time probably like 100 people who actively use lightsabers. doesn't make sense to actively keep anti lightsaber equipment around. especially for low level gangster's. there are lightsaber resistant weapons like vibroblades and electrostaffs but even then you'd get owned by a Jedi in 3 seconds.
>>
>>219860396
>>still no anti-lightsaber / anti-Force weapon / armor (remember Zillo beast)
Beskar armor made and worn by the Mandalorians are immune to lightsaber hits, they were specifically made that way because they were at war with the Jedi millenia ago.
Those electric staff can also duel with lightsabers
>>
>>219860533
Still, it doesn't matter, just with the current tech of those "dark ages", having to wageslave makes no sense, being just a "dude in Force" able to defeat entire armies make no sense,
>if the Forcebros were as powerful as Filoni tries to portrays them, the entire Galaxy would be rule by a caste of them, not just one dude (Sidious) that has to go undercover to the normal citizens
>if they are not as powerful, an entirep olice department of experience organic beings and robots with militar porgrams could be able to wipe them out even if the Forcebro is a tatical genius (at some point you run out of manpower and resources)
Currently, you can see a mix of both cases, which makes even less sense if you see ALL the technology of the current "dark age" of the Galaxy.

Also, funny how this show show us that the "evil" Empire is even more chill than the "good" Republic about the planets' autonomy. The whole Civil War makes less sense with each new show and film.

>>219860396
It wouldn't be that the recorders are blueish, it would be the projectors
sure we have better holograms today but you need massive rigs preset for what you are trying to make, they aren't little handheld things
>>
>>219860396
In the context of the original trilogy, the lightsabers weren't meant to be the omega weapon. Actually it was the opposite. The lightsaber was intended to symbolize the jedi's values of being a weapon used for defensive purposes that requires great skill to use, compared to a gun which is much simpler to kill people with. Hence why Ben calls the lightsaber civilized and the guns uncivilized. It could be inferred from the emperor's dialogue in ROTJ that the lightsaber wasn't intended to be a sith weapon originally.
>>
>>219860538
>multiple galactic-scale wars over millennia because which "side" of the Force is correct
>still not tech against those dudes, despite, again, all those wars and genocides
Also, seeing how effective lightsabers are, why anyone that is not pro-Republic nor pro-Jedi would try to massive produce them?

>>219860576

>>219860772

Materials capable of resisting lightsabre strikes are exceedingly rare, and have only become more so after millennia of exploitation.

The ones who actually care to rule (the darksiders) inevitably start fighting each other for power and get massacred. At least that was the explanation in the old EU.

>>219861154
>Also, seeing how effective lightsabers are
They aren't. You need jedi's superhuman reflexes to use them to their full potential.

Well yeah, the lack of technological development is indeed retarded.
>>
>>219860396
star wars is slop for literal retards
>>
>>219862974
It could be Kino in the proper hands.
Old Republic stuff is awesome and, at this point, it's good that Disney doesn't pay attention to it, because they would ruin it too.
>>
>>219860396
Isn't all their tech from an older civilization and they understand it enough to use it but not to advance it at all?
>>
>>219862873
What is wrong with wanting a lore that is coherent with itself?
I would have no problem if it was like Space Balls, aka, a surreal comedy, but the thing is Star Wars wants to be taken seriously (sometimes, other like the ewoks are pure Space Balls' stuff) and when you notice all, you see not only it makes no sense, but it constantly contradicts and retcons itself.
>>
>>219860396
The weapon to defeat lightsabers is called a slug thrower, aka, a normal gun. But they can't introduce that into the mainstream Star Wars media because it would cause such a hissyfit with retarded children
>>
>>219863243
50/50, many important things were created by the Rakata, but at this point, most of the stuff that is shown in the shows and films was created during the Republic and Empire.
>>
>>219863362
How? I mean, normal guns is what you see the most, specially in Clone Wars, but with lasers instead of bullets.

Ironically, Star Wars has microchips, even bio-chips that control millions of soldiers at the same time, but can't cure baldness nor lost limbs.

>>219863563
>can't cure baldness nor lost limbs.
I dunno, I assumed it's not cheap to do so or some planets are "3rd world" planets. I get what you're saying though, but just because you have ships that can fly really fast or guns that shoot lasers doesn't mean you figured out how to regrow limbs for a reasonable price, ya know? I liked Star wars because despite having space magic, everyone still needs money and resources.
>>
>>219860396
stop consuming disney filoni-slop
pistols (that fire ballistics) are an anti-lightsaber weapon
cortosis is an anti-lightsaber material
ysalamiri are anti-force weapons
plenty of holograms and cameras in full color exist, the blue ones are probably most common because they're cheapest
aside from that, star wars is known to exist in a world where technological progress has stagnated and the only real advancements are in the efficiency and power of already existing technology

>>219860533
>>219860396
The inhabitants of the SW galaxy are stuck in an endless cycle. They make advancements based on a mixture of new ideas and scavenged past tech until they suffer a galactic reset due to some cataclysm (invasion from another falaxy or dimension, war tied to force users, etc) or other. Rinse and repeat.
>>
>>219864491
>poor people can afford space ships
>rich people can't afford anti-baldness
Wtf?!

>>219864820
>invasion from another galaxy
Yuuzhan vong are no longer canon.

>invasion from another dimension
Never happened.

>constant war
Riches planets were rarely affected, top scientists nor their resources were never affected (most of the time). So tech stagnation make no sense, even the Sith Lord Darth Tenebrous (master of Plagueis) released that technology will (not would) surpass the Force at some point.

Is this actually OK or not? I saw someone online claiming this was a cluster fuck of a show making zero sense.
Maul got his flesh legs back (not his robot ones), his brother was magically alive, the time setting isn't explained.

I haven't watched it yet. Was maybe going to once all the episodes were out.

What do people like this want Star Wars to look like? 25,000 years of whatever Sci fi advances they're thinking of would make it completely unrecognizable and make the characters unrelatable and for what? To appease some autistic sense of reason in a Sci fi universe in what's ultimately supposed to be a product for mass entertainment.

Fuck off

This 2 things ruin the pacing but the Maul's parts are awesome despite the fights makes no sense because the tech makes no sense.

>Is this actually OK or not?
Yeah, it's OK so far, 4 episodes in. Pretty good honestly. It can still go to shit in the remaining 6 episodes, but so far it hasn't.
>Maul got his flesh legs back (not his robot ones), his brother was magically alive, the time setting isn't explained.
No, he still has his robot legs. He's just wearing boots and pants on top of them. He already had pants in Clone Wars, they just gave him boots in this show. But his legs are still, obviously, robotic and you can clearly see the cybernetics from the waist and down.
>his brother was magically alive
No, Savage isn't alive. He has two new Zabrak goons, who look nothing like his brother.
>the time setting isn't explained.
It is perfectly explained. It's around a year after Clone Wars.

Whoever you saw saying this shit online is a certified retard or a grifter who hadn't watched it.

So it's set after he was released by Asoka on that early star destroyer?
It's during the ending times of when the clones all dissappear to just before a new hope/rebels

The only reason this is good is because that hack Dave Folini isn’t there to put in his OC characters. Also fuck Dave for killing off Maul, it’s so obvious that Disney is going to bring Maul back considering how well Maul prints money. Dave should have never killed off maul in rebels, also fuck rebels that entire show should be deleted and made not cannon.

Same stuff with the shotguns, exist and it's never used when they are actually need.

And for some reason, if someone complains about making no sense, some (you) complain about "being autistic" when I only want stories that are well-writing and are coherent between them.

She’s hot and maul is going to turn her to his side so it’s fine. She’s honestly an interesting character so far. Also it’s so nice seeing maul a men put that woman in her place. If Dave and kathlen Kennedy were involved they would have demanded her to be a girl boss and have her defeat maul.

Lucas mentioned it in an interview. There's also released concept art with a very Darth Talon-esque design that corroborates Lucas, though I'd guess the actual story (including Maul) wasn't that set in stone.

Star Wars always a fantasy film; it’s not science fiction.
It doesn’t take place hundreds of years in the future it takes place
>”A Long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..”
It’s a fairy tale.
It literally has wizards and magic swords and princesses who need saving.
The original idea was NEVER to map out some fucking intricate utopian bradberry teir luxury space communism blue print.
The setting is just a pretext to get modern audiences to suspend their disbelief and listen to a story they want to hear but feel juvenile for enjoying in its original context.

Dude you’re basically just asking why the eagles didn’t take Frodo to mount doom.
If you want a show that cares more about word building then creating a compelling setting watch Star Trek next gen or legends of the galactic hero’s or some shit like that.
The reason Star Wars has laser swords and space magic that still works and a futuristic Litch king with a literal skull space helmet for a face is because all that is fucking COOLER the banality of secular modernity only spiced up by space crafts that fly a bit faster and laser guns.
Fucking an NBC crime drama if you want technologically consistent world building.
When I’m watching fantasy I’d rather se something strange and interesting then something that fully makes sense.
Where Lucas failed was in falling into the trap of doing exactly that in the prequels.
