I don’t fully comprehend how Disney can own Star Wars for 15 years now and not produce a single good game with it.
>>738686267Giving the rights exclusively to EA, Ubisoft, and movies game developers will do that.
The last good game was Jedi Power Battles
They don't want to produce a good game. They want to make games with frog eye nigger protagonist heroes that demoralize white people because 'muh evil white nazi empire'.*picks up phone and calls deborah wilson*"yes we need a new game with niggers in it"
>hasn't made a good game>no good movies despite there being 6 of them with one bomb and another projected to flop in two weeks >no good TV shows its just choosing different flavors of crap from Filoni to Acolyte to Skeleton Crew to Baby Yoda>comics are shit, nobody reads them >no one even cares about the Disney canon books Its amazing how this once powerful cultural juggernaut became totally irrelevant.
>>738686267Jedi Order was cool.
wasn't the first jedi survivor or whatever good? dunno didnt play it or any of them since bf2
That new X-COM like looks alright
Maul died in Episode I
Wow last starwars game I liked was that clone commando one on the GameCube? Before that would have been that space rts game
>>738687246Based and true.
>>738687246>dies in a movie from 1999>returns in TCW in 2012 where hes been alive in various shitass arcs sinceAt this point hes been alive longer than dead...
>>738687483>dies in the good times>comes back for the Dark Times
>>738687246
>>738686267>Vader gets mogged againThat jobber isn't scary.
The prequels deserve an apology.
>>738686267The Cal games are genuinely the best Disney Star Wars things ever made, not that that means much. They should say sorry for making Rey movies and let Respawn do whatever they want with the IP.
>do not bang the Miraluka, bang my daughter instead.
>>738687483>finally dies for good when old man Ben Kenobi finishes the job he started decades earlierinb4 they really do that retarded timeline split and makes bunch of new films with him and Darth Talon as the big bads just as Lucas envisioned.
>>738690775Ahsoka is going to kick their asses.
Darth Maul has to be one of the most raped characters in the extended starwars lore. What was the point of bringing this dude back? He got merc'd in 1999 and returned just to get mercd by old obiwanits crazy that star wars can have this massive expandable world building and they do fuck all with itthe story surrounds the same 10 charactersthe same 10 planetsthe same plot points beat for beatwhy havent they done any media of what lies outside the galaxy or origin stories for characters like raven BEFORE the events of KOTORits just so fucking bad
>>738686582>>738691675>why havent they done any media of what lies outside the galaxy or origin stories for characters like raven BEFORE the events of KOTORThey did do all that before FIloni.
>>738691675This guy pictured here >>738690828 is in every sense of the term a manchild. He copies things he likes and repackages them to suit his own narrative structure, then adds in his own OC's with stupid names like Bo Katan or Kanan Jarrus, then throws in some wolf related imagery and retcons.
>>738691675revan^
they use the franchise to launder money they dont give a shit about game just hire some faggot to patch together something with ducktape then report it as making hundreds of millions of dollars
Say it
>>738692884The weak minded fools should have never doubted you, George. Look at where their hubris has brought them.
>>738691675George wanted him to be in more shit because he looks cool and didn't care he was cut in half and fell into a pit.
>>738686267Because Disney is all about quantity that pretends to be quality, and with the exception of muppets and indi, they spam the suck out of every IP, each of which has a superbly conditioned consoomer base. They don't require good [in this instance, games], they just want MOAR
>>738693090It's sometimes common to blame Mike for JJ Abrams writing Star Wars off a cliff. He didn't say Abrams should write a Star Wars movie. He said direct. TFA looks gorgeous visually. Maybe Disney should've done a better job listening to him and had Abrams only direct.
What's the best EU novel?
>>738693396The novelization of Revenge of the Sith.Honorable mention: Darth Plagueis
>M-master Skywalker
>>738693268It's preety obvious JJ Abrams is the one who went out of his way to ensure George's plot wouldn't be used.
>>738688914first one was decent enough, but then they made a sequel that's just way too predictable >we're going to unfreeze a jedi who will definitely be a good guy>he's actually bad!? what a twist!>Cal met a new friend along the way who joins the crew>you mean the guy just introduced this game was evil the entire time!? what a twist!plus the frame rate issues even on PC and the fact that they did literally nothing with Cal slowly turning to the dark side deciding to just drop it altogether
>>738686419The last good game was Star Wars Kinect
>>738692884
>>738693396Heir to the Empire
>>738686267Did you comprehend them disbanding LucasArts? That was a billboard the size of Jupiter that read "There will never be another Star Wars game."
>>738686267Maulslop wouldn't do anything to change that.
>also fucking ruins your franchise's endingwell atleast the new indy game are decent enough
>>738693758*Another good Star Wars Game
>>738686267Lucasfilm owned Star Wars for 40 years and only made one good game with it, so maybe Disney's time is still coming?
>darth maul gets shat on by two inquisitors>both of which were already killed by ahsoka, on screen, later onOH NO NO NO NOAH HA HA HA HAAND IT WAS SAID MAUL IS AT HIS PEAK IN THIS SHOW
>>738693838But enough about Podracing!
>>738693990Maul gets more and more pathetic with every new project. He's a far, far cry from the intimidating dude he was in Episode I.
>15 yearswait... what?
Maul talked too much. His new voice doesnt match ththe Phantom Mencace, and he should be fueling himself with his trauma via the dark side, not wallowing in it.
Where did the kino go?
>Star Wars>revolves around sword battles and magic>aside from some obscure Ps1 slop that barely qualifies, NOT A SINGLE, SOLITARY STAR WARS FIGHTING GAMEAside from Hokuto no Ken, relative to source material relevance, Star Wars is the most under-tapped licence in the fighting game genre.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2SYsgtffxs
>>738686267>still no VR lightsaber Jedi RPG game
>>738693990People legitimately think Maul is stronger than Dooku
>>738692884>>738693090>Suddenly trade routes seem pretty important now huh?
>>738694282>MASTERS OF TERÄSKÄSI DOESN'T COUNT, BECAUSE... IT JUST DOESN'T!
>>738694390Trade routes in space don't seem that important, space is so big you could just go around them.
>>738694515Not if you want that tasty Naboo plasma
>>738694274We couldn't tolerate a little bit of Lucas' (admittedly fucking awful) space opera autism, so all of Srar Wars had to die apparently.
>>738694334That's because Dooku was done completely dirty in the movies
>>738694515Supposedly Hyperspace routes are limited because you can very easily jump through a star and die of you aren't following the well known routes
>>738688914>let Respawn do whatever they want with the IPLet's not. You got Cal not because of Respawn but in spite of them. Never forget that. And they made sure to leave their stink on the supporting cast and other npcs
>>738694632Dooku, while underutilized, was portrayed as being extremely powerful in the movies. In both, he effortlessly ragdolls Obi-Wan Kenobi using the Force, and is the only guy not named Emperor Palpatine that we see using Force Lightning.
>>738686267star wars is a series whos appeal is wish fufillment/ escapismall they had to do was make a open world game where you go around popular star wars planets as your own custom character choosing to be a basass jedi, a feared sith, or a scoundrel clapping Tortuga cheeksbut no they threw out the escapism of everything in favour doing the direct oppise and making slop thay goes "OH MY HEKKIN SCIENCE OUR WORLD IS JUST LIEK STAR WARS AND WE GOTTA #RESIST THE EMPIRE IRL"
>>738694573Only AotC was bad. The rest was kino
>>738694724Wouldn't they constantly change though since all the star systems are constantly in orbit around the galactic center at different speeds?
>>738694854wow/v/ dropped the ball in letting anyone know about thisthank you
>>738694274"Kino" is German ("cinema"), which has Nazi connotations, anti-Semiticᵀᴹ goy.
>>738686267The animated star wars is such shit, TCW has done so much damage to the franchise.
>>738694854Fucking saving this anytime someone tries to shill those discount Sekiro games.
>>738694890All that to get summarily executed by Anakin 30 minutes in the movie so the plot can move forward, the same Anakin that later loses to the Obi Wan that was so easily rag-dolled by Dooku.
>>738693990>>738694334I think Ventress is actually stronger than Maul at this point.
>>738694479What does that irrelevant shit-post supposed to even mean?... That some shovelware from three decades ago, equates to the SW licence being satisfactorily utilised in the fighting game genre?!Beep-beep, bop-bop... Are you a bot?
Maul is UNIRONICALLY cool as fuck and I'm okay with him appearing in more things based purely on that.I'm George pilled on Maul.He's fucking SICK and I want MORE MAUL
>>738695136This looks so shit.
>>738692884You ruined star wars.
>>738694724>instead of just calculating the route yourself, you can only use our established highways in fucking spaceI've always hated this interpretation
>>738694897>star wars is a series whos appeal is wish fufillment/ escapismManchild, plz>but no they threw out the escapism of everything in favour doing the direct oppise and making slop thay goes "OH MY HEKKIN SCIENCE OUR WORLD IS JUST LIEK STAR WARS AND WE GOTTA #RESIST THE EMPIRE IRL"And when they actually committed to it they made kino
>>738695193>I'm George pilled on Maul.
>>738695598>Was literally SO COOL he made Lucas fall to the Maul sideMAUL GAWDS
>>738695136>worse choreography than TPM>doesnt take advantage of being animated to do impossible or dangerous to perform movements>boring camera movement and cuts>"impactful" blows that fail to impress and lack lasting repercussions
>>738695598You forgot the rest
>>738695709He's wounded and his right leg is almost falling off
>>738695552Cassian Andor and the generic rebel goons (sans Luthen Rael) are the shittiest part of Andor. The real praise worthy aspect of Andor is allowing the Empire to be competent antagonists.
>>738695738Not from that fight.
>>738695828That fight was near the end when he bailed on lil yeed there and got him killed though? They're on the bridge
>>738686267Uh how about The Old Republic?
>>738695828His legs were all fucked up there, he was moving by sheer fucking hatred and the prospect of Darth Talon pussy.
>people are nostalgic for the prequelsIs modern media really that fucking bad? At least the prequels gave us Gendy wars.
>>738687483sex with starfire
What's (you)r dream Star Wars game, Anon?
>>738695724His work on the clone wars was the worst he ever did do. He preraped the franchise for disney.
>>738696015The prequels straddle the line between painfully mediocre and displaying moments of good acting, emotion, as well as an exceptional musical score, worldbuilding and underlying themes. To say they're so bad they're just completely unwatchable is wrong but to claim they're underrated masterpieces is also wrong. They were flawed, entertaining movies that paved the way for more content in the universe.
>>738696136Starfield, but actually fun.
>>738686267I liked the Maul show.As for Star war video games, some dumb fuck giving EA exclusive rights and then giving Ubisoft of all people the chance to make one despite them making that liece of shit ghost recon break point. Also what exactly happened to Lucas arts? They used to make their own game engines and games, now nothing? Then again maybe it's for the best since that "high republic" bs looked lame as fuck and the sequel era just seem to have drove off a cliff.At least I would have liked a game where I got to relive all the fights the 501st were in(mainly I wanna live, die, and repeat all over Umbara and mandalore).
>>738686267Jedi Survivor is great.
>>738696136Company of Heroes 2 but with a Star Wars skin
>>738686267Bringing back Maul will always be the dumbest shit ever.>objectively weaker than Palpatine by a very wide margin. Loses even 2 v 1>can survive things that even Palpatine cannot
>>738696195>paved the way fora bunch of hot wet turds
>>738694854I love how Cal is basically the new Kyle Katarn. Now if only they would undyke Merrin.
>I don’t fully comprehend how Disney can own Star Wars for 15 years now and not produce a single good game with it.Because everything is a slave to canon now. Unlike Lucas, Disney actually tries to make everything fit together perfectly. Which means characters aren't allowed to die until they appear in a movie or TV show and get killed "the canon way". Making a fun video game is the antithesis of their business modelWhen I was a kid, you could fight Darth Vader and kick his ass. Disney seems to have it written in stone that he's never allowed to look weak.That's kind of the major connecting problem I see now: Star Wars games aren't video games anymore, they're theme park rides where irrelevant characters get dragged through irrelevant locations and only ver interact with irrelevant people. Characters like Vader are treated like fixed structures that you can't move or interact with besides running from him.
>>738696368They already undyked her by ignoring Sam Magg's shitty novel and hooking her up with Cal in the second game.
>>738693641They unfroze that guy completely by accident and he basically turned into a villain 5 minutes after he woke up so there was no twist there. The only valid one was Bode and I'll be honest I didn't expect him to be a traitor. But he was written very well and ended up being OBJECTIVELY correct.
>>738696368>Now if only they would undyke Merrin.They did.
>>738696015>At least the prequels gave us Gendy wars.God I am so tired of clone wars dickriders that only like it because of ebin samurai jack man
Battlefront 2 and Jedi Fallen Order are good
>>738696587We like it because it was cool. Doesn't matter who made it. That kind of thinking is how Dave Filoni is the supreme master of all Star Wars now and his pet characters are everywhere.
>>738696331To be fair George did it for Boba Fett so Filoni just tried to replicate that success.>>738696443>>738696537I meant change her look. She looks like a butch lesbian.
She should have died in Rebels. She'd be looked upon more favouribly.
>>738696679Didn't you know? Women aren't allowed to be attractive in Star Wars anymore. They're all flat chested with bad haircuts and no hips.
>>738696587Nigger, Dexters lab predates Samurai Jack and was just as popular. Fucking zoomers.
>>738696136Essentially just something like New Vegas but with Star Wars. The closest thing we have is that one Starfield modpack, but it's janky as fuck.
>>738696792I'm 34Dexter's Lab was a comedy show and no way comparable
>>738696875Gendy is known for a lot more than Samurai Jack.
>>738696791The SW universe just became unsexy after the fall of the Republic. I blame Palpatine.
>>738695146because ventress actually learned to do something with her life instead of wallowing in a pit of revenge and becoming sisiphyusshe has a purpose and a future, maul doesn't
>>738696782Why? What's she up to now?
>>738686358>Give game rights to EA, a company notorious for putting out bad games that demand you spend tons of money on them>movie division actively shuts down any director who has an idea that isn't just trying to milk Original Trilogy notalgia or try to tell an original story>TV division is basically all Filoni and Mandalorian. Andor is really popular but seems to be ashamed of being a Star Wars story to begin with>comic books are plagued by bad art, uninteresting stories, and zero promotionAll of this is by design. No one accidentally tanks a brand to this degree.
>>738696938And yet the only thing anybody ever talks about is Dexter, SJ, and clone warsCurious. Nobody seems to care about Sym-Bionic Titan.
Genndy Wars baby
>>738696446Well that is part of the problem, cool characters get instantly thrown out since the later timeline can't fit them in
>>738697054People cared a lot about Primal recently. Probably one of his best works.
>>738697061The only good piece of star wars media.
>>738686267Pic was good
>>738697054>Nobody seems to care about Sym-Bionic Titan.People remember that scene where the sexy high school girl twerks for the chubby robot guy
>>738697180Primal was good for one season only But it's still not nearly as bad as his dog balls movie
>>738696136-Some combo of revenge of the sith the game, force unleashed(360), and force unleashed psp for game a hack n slash.-Whatever battlefront 3 was going to be but with a better story-Fight game like ps2 mortal kombat with a konquest modeI would like these games to be set in the old EU with characters from heir to the empire, shadow to the empire, crimson empire, the new Jedi order/second galactic civil war, and the Yuuzhan Vong.Like imagine playing as battlefront like game as either the new republic or storm trooper and then having to team up with the other side as a horde of vong just come of crashing in. But you know stuff has to stick with the current canon.That or IDK have a game that adapts the 2018 Darth Vader run of marvel comics and some of dark horses' Vader stuff. Darth Vader and the lost command would make a cool video game.Also Star Wars imperial commando would be cool. Let me hunt down some Jedi, rebels, separatists hold outs, clone deserters, crime syndicate members with the bros. Search for sev.
>>738697389I always hated that romance, it felt like some fat nerd self inserting
>>738686267>I don’t fully comprehend how Disney can own Star Wars for 15 years now and not produce a single good game with it.They haven't produced a single good movie or show with it. Why would they have made a good video game?
>>738697472Third season was great and had a well deserved good ending. Though I do understand the distaste for the second season when the focus shifts away from Spear and Fang.
>>738696443Can a human and a night sister have a kid together?
>>738696136Genuinely the best squad shooter ever made and we never got a second game. Fucking criminal.
>>738697591Rogue One was good.
>>738697616If a Twi'lek and a human can reproduce, I don't see why a human and a Dathomiri Zabrak couldn't.
>>738697769Rogue One was /fine/. There's a reason nobody can remember shit other than the battle of Scariff and the Vader hallway sequence.
>>738697742this game is garbage and nothing but iraq war propaganda all the way down to muh epic marinez ooh rah dogshit
>>738693396The Lost Tribe of the Sith: Collected Stories
>>738697742>Filoni when he sees an opportunity to humiliate and murder a beloved character from the old lore with his Filoni Clones

>>738697861If you want people to engage with (you), you don't need to post such obvious bait for attention. Sometimes honest discourse gets honest conversations.
>>738697840I place it above PT and AotC personally.
>>738697917>beloved>throwaway character from universally panned by reviewers early 2000s shovelware game
the funny thing about maul is that outside of getting himself cut in half, basically EVERYTHING bad that's happened to him was his own faulthe keeps on poking the hornets nest and getting stung, rather than learn to stop poking the nest or move away from it, he goes "totally gonna kill all the hornets this time!"he's huffing his own farts and think's he's the most powerful person ever because "well....I was trained by sidious!" only to be proven time and again that he's shit and just bullies normal people
>>738687246Episode 1 was the last truly kino star whores movie.Mmmm, natalie portman....
>>738697742>best squad shooter ever madeAre you fucking serious? It's a dumbed down version of Rainbow Six.Let's not pretend that it has anything going for it other than the cool setting and atmosphere. It's purely aesthetic. The actual "squad shooter" part is generic as it can be.
>>738698049anyway ventress is the better character because she actually learns to stop doing things like that and find a purpose in life
>>738698046Beloved by anyone who read the Republic Commando novels, which was, including me, about a few dozen.
>>738698046Yep
>>738698046Beloved enough to use as a shiny key jangle before tossing in the trash.
>>738696136Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader
>>738697989Oops meant PM.
>>738695110Go ahead. Just remember the main character is a white guy and there's a major subplot about his romance with a white woman.

>>738698483they're not, wookieepedia is just wrongnightsisters are a seperate species to the nightbrothers
>>738698598Got it. So are like all of the Nightsisters species just chicks? Like am I missing something, feels weird there are no albino alien Dathomirian dudes.
>>738694515Piracy is pretty abundant in that universe, so you're rolling the dice in almost all directions
>>738693990>>738694054Maul is a tragic character who is powerless to change any of the events of the saga despite being fully aware of what is going on.
>>738697054>people remember alot of this guy's work but they don't remember ONE thingIs this some kind of pseudo-intellectual gotcha? Whats the overall point here? I remember the first Hotel Transylvania movie by him because he made a cute vampire girl but nobody cares to discuss that either.
>>738698815extreme form of gender dimorphism, don't worry about it too much
>>738696015>millennials still obsessed with hype and aura cartoonsClone Wars had no substance, just existed to make your little consoomer brain purchase goyslop plastic with lead-infused plastic.
>>738697054The reason is because the people who obsess over cartoons from their childhood (basedlennials) moved on from cartoons when SBT was airing.
>>738698049As shit as Disney canon is this would give some insight to Maul if he had a longer tenure as Sidious' apprentice. I can't imagine this dude leading the Separatists, being charismatic enough to sway systems to his side, defeating Anakin and Obi-Wan together with refined dueling ability.
>>738698970Got it.Fuck, I wish Star Wars first assault and battlefront 3 didn't get cancelled.I wonder how bad the Darth maul game would have been.
>>738686267Fallen Order and Jedi survivor were good IMO, but yeah, two good games in 15 years is not a good turn around.Battlefront 2 by DICE apparently found its footing after stepping on every rake imaginable but then they killed support for the second most unpopular Battlefield, Battlefield 5.
>>738699214Sidious trained Maul as just an attack dog. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqaCEPwWGtc&ra=m

>>738700478I preferred Krytos Trap.
>>738698910He's like me fr
>>738686267Jedi Fallen Order, Jedi Survivor, and The Old Republic are all good Star Wars games.
>>738686267They tried to shove woke bullshit into the ip
>>738702979
>>738698294>Released a decade afterWrong, zoomer. Rainbow Six Rogue Spear came out in 1999. Republic Commando came out in 2005. Hell, even Rainbow Six Raven Shield (the franchise's gameplay peak) came out in 2003.>actual personalityYeah but that comes under aesthetic. It has no bearing on "squad shooter". The gameplay of Republic Commando is Call of Duty tier.
>every fucking autist understand that when Sheev kicked the bucket your average human mind will go I AM KANGZ NOW>somehow Disney continuity has everyone in the empire go die on a shithole like lemmings jumping to their deathHow badly was Filoni's asshole was gaping when he greenlight this lore?
>>738693838
>>738697326It was a half-assed X-Wing/TIE Fighter copy that felt more like basic deathmatch than anything else, and it fell for the "oh you want to play an empire campaign? sike, you defected to the rebels!" thing that they all do now.OG TIE Fighter is still the GOAT, fuck Rebel scum.
>>738703090>Palpatine "dies">orders the Empire to commit suicide>they actually fucking do it (???)>years pass>Palpatine never actually died
>>738697742>tfw they were plans for Imperial Commando
>>738694905Correct, they have pathfinders constantly recalculating the popular routes and trailblazing new ones. Old maps are very dangerous.
>>738686358Even when they axed that deal, the resulting attempts at more games have just been studios acting like bumbling retards.David Cage's Star Wars game is in development hell and he said he is relying on the release of some hero shooter or mmo no one has heard of to fund its completion. That shit is never coming out.Aspyr shit the bed with the KOTOR remake, thankfully it was handed off to Sabre, who will probably see it through. Might take a minute, they have a lot of projects in the pipe, but the CEO personally went after the rights to handle the KOTOR remake when he bought the company back from Embracer, so it seems like he's personally invested.For what it's worth i like Fallen Order and Survivor, I know that's not a popular opinion here though.Galactic Racer looks like it could be fun, along with that upcoming permadeath tactics game, just waiting to see more details on gameplay. But yeah, there has definitely been a drought.
>>738686540Debra Wilson is ugly as sin but the Cal Kestis games are literal Joseph Campbell hero's journey kino. Cal overcomes obstacles, gets a gf, grows as a man and warrior and faces defeat and adversity with resolve. You literally just want things to be angry about.
>>738703873>>738703090The stupidest thing is the EU already had a blueprint for the Empire for the 20-30 years after the Emperor's death, and they could have just taken the broad strokes from that.>Empire falls into infighting as everyone claims to be Sheev's successor>Some remain major threats to the fledgling New Republic but eventually get dealt with>the leftovers essentially retreat to the outer rim to form the Remnant once Palleon manages to herd them together>sign a treaty with the NR to officially end the conflictThey could have taken that and replaced Palleon with Hux or someone else, scrapped the idea of the treaty and just had the NR go "oh well they're basically harmless now lol".It makes absolutely no sense that they would just have the entire galaxy-spanning Empire effectively self destruct in less than a year and the Republic just unilaterally disarm immediately afterwards for no reason whatsoever because apparently the Star Wars(tm) are over forever now.Shit, I just realized that conflicts with Admiral Tumblrhair in TLJ supposedly being a tactical genius or mastermind or some shit. How do people know that when there's no conflict because the New Republic disarmed? Why do they even have admirals or a military, they're supposed to have gotten rid of it all?
>>738694515Force sensitives can navigate them, but I don't know how canon that is now. Thrawn shows Darth Vader this, and Vader apparently didn't have anyone to tell so the knowledge stays with the Ascendancy, not that we'll ever hear from them again.
>>738695389Isn't calculating the route what the navcomputer is for? It's why the Falcon can't immediately jump to hyperspace when they're leaving Tatooine.

>>738692884That filthy goy had to be made an example of. A goy being this successful in hollywood? Oy vey.That comment George made about "white slavers?" Hint, he wasn't actually talking about white people.
>>738704286As I recall their storyboard+lore department is filled with Karens. Those women doesn't even understand basic human nature when it comes to power struggles.

>>738686267starwars is dead. i could have been a starwars fan but disney is shit so all their products are now shit.yes, starwars is now just a product.
>>738705302And yet your only issue seems to be that there's no new product.
>>738696393This shit was beyond gay. Donut steel kicking Vader’s ass was so fucking stupid.
>>738695389>>738704378One of the explanations Lucas gave for the "Kessel Run in 12 parsecs" line is that the Millennium Falcon, being a smuggling ship, was just that good at calculating a route off the beaten path. Lucas's explanation is that Han is just bullshitting. >>738705229It's funny how the EU's obsession with expanding characters actually makes Watto a decent guy >removed Shmi's bomb leash just in case she missed Anakin too much>gives the Lars family a discount at his shop after they buy Shmi>actually misses Anakin enough to ask Shmi about him>get angry on her behalf when Jedi haven't replied to her expensive messages >never had any other slaves after owning jedi jesus and jedi mary
>>738686267Publishers are non-productive entities.After 10 years, almost all IP tends to be astronomically worse than unlicensed fan works unless the rights holder gets lucky and hires exactly the right fans producing good fan works.
>>738704203fallen order was decent but they lost the plot in the sequel and it ran like shit
>>738704975It's so fucking stupid that they didn't even bother to use Coruscant as the galactic capital, and instead had the New Republic set up in some random system that's never been mentioned before.I just wasted some time looking into it and apparently it was because they wanted to use Coruscant in the future, which is hilarious because it's never been mentioned once since TFA and with how badly the sequels were received it's doubtful it ever will be.
>>738705885It really feels like random shit happening>cal literally falls into a random hole on a random planet which just so happens to have very important ruins so the plot can happenYeah yeah the force did it
>>738705885I played it recently on PC and it seems to work okay now, but I remember it being absolutely shit at launch. It's not bad.>>738705691It's so fucking stupid how Solo had to do the stupid "oh no see they cut across the event horizon of a black hole so TECHNICALLY the distance they covered is less!" to try and explain that shit. It was far better when it was just left up for interpretation as Han talking up his shitbox beater starship to a bunch of yokels, basically the equivalent of him going "yeah man this thing's got 12 hojillion gigajoules of boost and quad hyperlasers, it'll outrun anything bro believe me".The Watto thing I don't mind as much because yeah he's kind of a dick, but you see in TPM that both Shmi and Anakin are at least treated well and he seems genuinely happy to see Anakin in AotC although that could just be because he wants to ask him for money, it's been a while since I've seen it.
>>738706118I'm pretty sure they knew ahead of time that the planets they were going to had secret Jedi ruins on them, I don't remember it being too incidental.
>>738706327Cal goes to kobah after coruscant to visit greez because his ship broke, while there he randomly falls into the plot. None of that was set up.
>>738706418Oh yeah, I forgot about that in the sequel. I was thinking of the first game where they're looking for the tombs.
>>738686267I thought the Battlefront games were good. Though I would have preferred them to be 64 (or maybe even like 256 desu) players per match so the heroes and vehicles could be absurdly overpowered without breaking the game. >>738692884>>738705229holy based
>>738695136>absolutely zero sense of impact on anything at allyuck. give me the dancing shit of the prequels any day of the week, they still managed to make combat feel like it had weight to it at least.
>>738705885I enjoyed fallen order, it was janky and I really really felt how much more mid the combat was since i beat sekiro right before it, but i enjoyed it non the less. The sequel which added a bunch more stuff felt so damn bloated and annoying. I never finished it. The story was really lame and so damn boring and i hated the "Oh look an ancient door, need to find a way around it to these ruins that have never been seen." but the door has an opening so anyone with a jet pack can just fly over it and and when you do get to the other side there are imperials there already. It also ran like shit and looked ugly except for the tutorial
i wanna see gameplay trailers for Fate of the Old Republic and Jedi 3 asap. i'm replaying KotOR rn and am hungry for more, new Star Wars games.
>>738706680>Less planets, more open world shit>heaps of annoying side characters to find for your cantina>plant minigame, you guys like collecting seeds right>shoehorned high republic storyline because literally nobody outside of the writers room cared about the high republic at allI did like the pistol/saber fighting stance and the idea of the underworld faction who'd set up their headquarters in an old Trade Fed capital ship and had an army of reprogrammed battle droids, but overall the first game was put together a lot better.
>>738692884Fuck. You.
>>738706846Everything felt like bloat. Why the fuck am i building a city up? Why the fuck am i building a aquarium? None of that shit matters. Strip all of that for am much more focused game that runs better and it would have been much better in my eyes. Yeah the reprogrammed battle droid stuff was the best stuff by a mile imo
>>738700270Cal Jr. will teleport behind you, say "nothin personnel kid" and then cut you in half with his lightsaber.
>>738696136a game set in the universe without jedimake a sith or non force user game akin to swtor
>>738696136- Battlefront 2015 graphics- Heavily based in First Person and around blasters- Basically New Vegas in space like that one guy said
>>738707431A game without jedi is literally just early SWG
>>738686267Disney has nothing but contempt for the franchise so it's not that hard to understand. They don't care about Star Wars.
>>738695552>shart vs shite
>>738686267It was a bad omen when the first thing Disney did after they bought Star Wars was shut down Lucasarts and sign away Star Wars games to EA indefinitely
>>738687363Incredible fight.
And she was a good friend.
>>738705393disney shits out product after product. starwars included, which is a shame. starwars was something cultural but disney bought it as a product from george, and so, they eventually just produce it as one.it is now a mcdonald's chain that makes slop.
>>738695724We already had KOTOR II show that the Dark Side can keep alive someone who is little more than a walking corpse (Sion).
>>738708707
>>738686267Given the new source material they'd have to work with I don't blame them. Better play it save and release some memberries games.
>Remember Darth Vader? remember Darth Maul?Feels like this is half of Nu Wars.
>>738692884I AM SO SORRY GEORGEYOU WERE RIGHT ALL ALONGPLEASE COME BACK AND SAVE US
>>738709246There is no going back. It's over.
>>738696136A game adaptation of pic rel
>>738694274>>738694902How did we go from this to... this?
>>738691675I just want to explore Star Wars disconnected from the Skywalkers, Palpatine, and the post-Disney faggotry.Apparently that's too much.
How bout that prick's face when he saw the Right to Rule?
>>738709325Someone did make a fan game of it it's a shitty point and click shooter akin to a flash game
>>738692884you deserve to be in the place you are.if you had any balls, you wouldn't have sold starwars, despite the fans calling you out on the prequels.
>>738694902AoTC was also a great movie. Weakest of the three, but still kino.It did made the biggest contributions to the lore though
>>738709480Kylo Ren was the only good thing in the entire sequel trilogy. Whenever he is not on the screen, I'm angryAlso, interesting how some writers suck SO HARD at writing, that only the villains are allowed to have real human emotions, while the "good guys" are sociopathic cardboard cutouts. Star Wars and the Boys are alike in that regard.
>>738709480The power of twenty writers but no choreographers.>iunno just swing it like a baseball bat and grimace a lot lmao who fucking cares
>>738710115Smart and correct
>>738687246Maul and his brother were the only good things about Disney star warsOh, and Dooku
>>738694274>that light piercing through the darkness in the sky on Kenobi's side of the clashPure pottery
>>738686582Andor was good
>>738710248Why didn't they just hire Nick Gillard? They had all the money in the world to do it. Hopefully they tried and he told them to go fuck themselves.
>>738693620character assassination
>>738697917>BookfagsYou deserve everything scrap you get.
>>738687246>>738687607Reminder that Maul was brought back while George still owned the IP, and he wanted to use him for the sequels too. So you can't blame Yidsney for this.
>>738696136>TIE Fighter sequel set post RotJ>start off with Revenge for Endor campaign, punitive strike against a Rebel sympathizer system>shift to hunting down Imperial task forces that are defecting, with them eventually calling in Rebel backup like with Harkov in the original>mid-game climax is the Fall of Coruscant>side with Thrawn when the Empire fractures, end up drifting between warlords for a time before rejoining Pellaeon and forming the Remnant>optional: final campaign against the Vong, fighting alongside New Republic ships
>>738686267Fallen Order and Survivor are pretty good. I don't love the story in either game but they're still a step up from the DF/JK games and the vast majority of SW games in that department.
>>738692884The prequels are phenomenal films for retarded gays.
>>738700478The whole X-Wing series is great up until around book 8 or 9 (also Solo Command's 7th in the series).>>738701109Either Wedge's Gambit or The Bacta War was probably my favorite just for some of the ridiculous shit they pulled.
>>738695709They're trying to be somewhat accurate to the films. Vader really isn't a character who moves that much. He doesn't run, he doesn't jump, and those factors limit what kinda choreography you can do when he's involved.
>>738696331It's not even close to the stupidest shit Lucas has done, but it is stupid.
>>738710487He's a man and the force is female, anon. Are you implying that women can't plot good fight choreography? Because you'd be right
>>738710030>despite the fans calling you out on the prequels.That's not why Lucas sold. I do think he was more wounded by the reaction than he sometimes let on, but I don't think it had much of an influence on his decision to sell. Lucasfilm just wasn't in a great place and he was ready to retire.
>>738696331different stat spreads.
>>738695709The inquisitor fights are more dynamic than thisDisney just doesn't want to show Vader jumping around and doing acrobatics
God I wish Lucas had just kept renting the license out instead of selling it outright.
>>738710487>Nick GillardHe was alright and I wouldn't have been opposed to more of his work. People overrate the prequel choreography, though. He didn't even give Neeson his best sword fight.
>>738710248>The power of twenty writersYeah, about that
>>738693703Counter point, George Lucas hasn't made anything worth a fun of quality. That being said his slop did farm goy cattle dollars harder than Israel does from the US government.
Let's say the rumors of the higher ups wanting nuke Rey trilogy happens, will there even a shitshow of women and soibois defending it to the death?
Lately I've come to terms with Star Wars as being bad as far back as the second half of RotJ. I'm not really mat about George, or Disney, or whatnot, the cracks were already showing back then>blow up the death star again>ewoksThe disaster pieces were already there, Disneywars just milked them even harder by blowing up a third death star. But yeah, at least we had fun video games. They can't make those anymore because every SW scriptwriter wants their script to be a thinly veiled FUCK DONALD BLUMPF allegory
>>738686267Star wars is a really shallow and childish IP. Fine even really good if you watched the og as a kid but mediocre otherwise. You can't build much with it unless you give up on the star wars feel. Which is why everything is nostalgia bait for skinnyfat balding men
>>738712229>Star wars is a really shallow and childish IP.Like all /v/erminshit.
>>738712195I don't think anyone will claim the original movies are high art or anything. Just entertaining. Disneywars however is neither.
>>738712229no they're doing nostalgia bait for zoomers now
>>738712229Almost like George set out to make a fun good vs evil story for children while paying homage to the history of cinema.
>>738712339And there is literally nothing wrong with that but then stop trying to milk it for 50 years
>>738709480acolyte fights were greathttps://youtu.be/uRl6xESZz2Q

Mark Hamill is the biggest psychic casualty of Disney Wars>beg RJ not to ruin your beloved character>he does it anyway>movie horribly received>decides to direct his anger at supposed 'racism against Rose' in the immediate aftermath of TLJ>spirals further>now spends his time as the biggest BlueSky account posting about orange man
>>738712410If y'all stopped buying it, they would
>>738687246TRUTH NUKE
>>738712548He should've just refused the role.
>>738712568Why?
>>738687246yeah and boba died in episode 6didn't stop him from showing up in near every piece of star wars media that takes place after it
>>738712594Then they couldn't have ruined himNo way they could recast Luke fucking Skywalker
>>738711960Lucas tier. Lucas Arts adventure games from the '90s tier, that is.
>>738686267They couldn't even make a good movie. What the fuck did you expect?
>>738712663They would have done something stupid and then it would have been on him for not cooperating. At least now he can say "I told them not to do x, but they wouldn't listen".
>>738709480Rushed production with the writing method of "I want to see this, this and this in the film, now come up with a plot that connects these images and plot points".
>>738713098Horseshit, the whole idea of another set of SW films was bad from the start, everyone would have respected him for staying out of it and turning down getting paid for itMost likely it would have been the same result as if Keanu had said 'lol no thanks' to another Matrix film, strong chance the suits would have just said 'well fuck, we just can't do it now'
>>738713258Nah, people WOULD have blamed the films on him and his lack of cooperation. Now he got money AND schadefreude.
>>738712568he would've been sued out the ass by disney because he already signed the contract, although i've heard that the ot actors initially signed on when george was still the owneriirc he was also hurting for money for a long time, which is ultimately why he put up with it
>>738713436Based. Hate the game, not the player.
she'd make for a great videogame protagonist because you could add in dark/light side choices
>>738712515crystal skull has the perfect bookend
>>738714274How many tertiary characters have gotten their own games? There was that Jango Fett Bounty Hunter game.
>>738694854requests from who? ea?
>>738694274still there
>>738693990Maul had the perfect end in rebels. It’s one of the few unquestionably good scenes disney has ever produced in star wars, even if they did their best to retroactively make his last words ironic with TLJ.He should have left on a high note.
>>738714875>vagueposting is kinoit's shit writing
>>738712563I never bought anything past star wars battlefront 2 (pirated every movie of the 2 older trilogies)
>>738710990I keep saying people (rightfully) would've been shitting on Lucas's sequel trilogy had they been a thing.Would they have been better than the yidsney sequels? Probably.Would they have been fucking garbage in their own way? Most certainly.And the EU would've been swept aside, regardless.The only thing I think we missed out on was whatever unique aesthetic Lucas had in mind for them.
>people hate the prequels for "ruining the originals">they praise the sequel trilogy despite it actively going out of it's way to take a dump on everything that came before itI dont get Star Wars fans
>>738706938I liked rogue one for what it was but I got whiplash finding out star wars fans enjoyed the CGI memberberry bits with old characters at the end
>>738686267why is darth maul fighting vader? I don't watch cringewars anymore
>>738686267Letting EA have exclusive game rights for 10 years is a big part of it
>>738696136empire at war 2
>>738720981I always though Rouge One was kinda shit apart from the last 20 minutes, and whenever anyone talks about it they only talk about the final 2o minutes.
>>738694854Every NPC in survivor is either a black human, an alien with african features, or an alien with an african accent. It's crazy.

>>738710372>dathomir pyramid scheme of retcons>goodNah
>>738692884Han shot first, nigger. Fuck you.
Why is Filoni hated exactly? I honestly don’t mind his stuff. Well, it’s better than whatever the sequels were anyway.
>>738692884star wars was already dying by the time he sold it>star wars kinect>the clone wars>force unleashed 2 being dogshit
>>738722931During the TCW era he was actually pretty beloved. But as his name became more common 4channelers hated him more and the Mando era really made people lose their minds and treat him like the antichrist.
>>738693990Needing his retarded not-ahsoka apprentice to save his ass at LITERALLY EVERY OCCASION is a bit too on the nose.
>>738686267>I don’t fully comprehend how Disney can own Star Wars for 15 years now and not produce a single good game with it.Disney isn't a video game company.
>>738722931The Clone War, Rebels, Ahsoka etc.
Is The Old Republic worth playing if I'm not interested in the MMO element? I never played any of the KOTR games
>>738722931Hes proof that even if you’re a harmless fan you can destroy something you love and work on with mediocrity and incompetence.
>>738724207Yes but you should play KOTOR first
>>738691675>what do we have in this IP that we can make content with
Whatever happend to that xcom game?Still in dev hell?
>>738724691It is getting released this year apparently.
>>738724691That one is actually coming out this year. So is the racing game. It's the other action games and rpgs that are in dev hell.
>>738712229Western media has always been extremely childish and juvenille in comparison to Japanese stuff. It was extremely painful playing KOTOR
>>738724940>Western media has always been extremely childish and juvenille in comparison to Japanese stuffTell me more about the mature themes of My Litle Sister Can't Be This Cute.
>>738723665>Clone Waris a generally good show especially if you saw the prequels and are willing to watch more of that. Near the end they had the storyline about the Martez sisters, making the last season seem disappointing. I don't expect every episode of a show to be exactly as good as every other, though, and that was still an okay story, just not one most Star Wars fans are likely to care about. People are right to complain that Clone Wars could've been better, but it's insufferable hearing "FILONI KILLED MY DOG AND BURNED MY CROPS. FUCK CLONE WARS. I'M GOING TO WATCH ATTACK OF THE CLONES ON LOOP 12 TIMES.">RebelsI think this was a Disney production. It has that obnoxious cartoony quality to its writing that turns off everyone older than 9. Kids do and probably should love it, but it's not going to appeal to anyone who watched the Phantom Menace when it came out.>AhsokaThis show is just bad. It was stupid to make The Sabine Wren Show and call it Ahsoka. It's not just more Rebels narratively, some of the dialogue and directing seems like what you'd see in Rebels. The nicest thing I can say about is someone in love with Rebels is probably happy to see it continued, but that doesn't mean the show is good.
>>738725212They are all shit, I am not reading your cope.
>>738714875Titus Pullo was such a great actor that it just worked. I can easily see this scene falling flat or coming out as drivel from many other actors that have worked on Disney Wars.
>>738693681Just Dance - Star Wars edition doesn't absolve the rest of that game's trash no matter how kino it is
>>738712229>Star wars is a really shallow and childish IP.But its a popular shallow and childish IP, which caused this IP to accumulate plenty fo talented creators around it for decades, building up foundation of mainstream sci-fi genre in total.All valid criticism about IP would never change the fact that Imperial March sounds cool, that clone troopers, droidekas, b2 super battledroids, clone troopers etc and etc looks cool.Star Wars loosing it's grip on the rule of cool was real origin of the IP downfall.
>>738703069>The force is female>Promptly gets raped to death Is there a list of these like lefties being unironically racist (e.g. Mass Effect's Jacob), making fascism look comfy as fuck kino (Starship Troopers, Wolfenstein) etc.?
>>738696136Every other response is wrong
>>738725470I remember this section view from a book I'd get from the library as a kid. It is very cool looking. It doesn't even really matter that it isn't practical. I imagine the Trade Federation could just make their tanks themselves automated without the need for individual droid pilots but it gives them more character. This is in opposition to the bomb scene at the beginning of The Last Jedi, which also isn't practical, but it rightly gets shit on, because it doesn't look cool.
>>738693620I would too if the force sent me visions of being in such a shit movie
>>738693620This should be retconned into it having the same intention as the scene in Attack of the Clones, where Anakin saves Padme from the poison beetle. Luke sensed that Ben was in trouble, and Ben’s autism caused him to think Luke was trying to kill him. The beetle injected radioactive Hot Topic into him, so Ben became angsty Kylo Ren.
>>738714387>Mutt dies in VietnamAt least that explains why he didn't show up in Young Indy.
>>738696136A space reskinned Ace Combat
What's with the psyop that EAfront 2 is good and why hasn't anything come from it despite the fact that it seems to be working?
>>738726685Dice accidentally let the Battlefront team make the game good with updates and killed it when they realized their error.
>>738686358>Best Star Wars game in years was the free to play Hunters hero shooter>Lasted less than a year before being shut down
>>738726136Rian Johnson apparently believes "I was going to kill my nephew but it didn't work out" is good enough to make the character likeable.
>>738725156Only after you point out the mature themes of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
>>738727113>a show aimed at literal toddlersAnd it's still more mature than the average loli oppai pervert quest show.
>>738724207Still the only game to give you different storylines based on your class and it's a fucking MMOCyberpunk could've been this but they chickened out
>>738696136Orange trainer 2
>>738724207You can do an entire class story without interacting with another player, easily. Whatever NPC companion you have will be automatically set to healer and you're borderline immortal doing at-level content.
>>738696136Republic Commando 2.Specifically Legends Clone War era ops.3 or 4 more campaigns between Geonosis/the Prosecutor and the Prosecutor/KashyykVaried environments, from sparse deserts, arid moons, cities, whateverNew enemy factions, such as pirates, Mandalorians, etc.CIS get Commando Droids that are peers with CommandosA bunch of small adjustments, like varied vibro-blade animationsMaybe a reference to the Bad Batch but adapted for Legends like picrel maybe Crosshair can be the Sev replacement if it's after KashyykDeeper squad management choices, like deciding to stick together or split up to complete separate objectives fasterFrankly, Republic Commando is pretty much my dream Star Wars game already, but if I had the opportunity to ask for a personal version that's what I'd go for.
>>738727998I didn't watch bad batch. Were they supposed to be the same kind of clones as the commandos?
>>738725156nice try, but Legend of the Galactic Heroes is written 100x better than star wars despite being Japanese
>>738727252japan makes objectively better scifi, star wars is poorly written and glazed by westoids
>>738729005>japan makes objectively better scifiLike..?
>>738728240They basically served the same role and issued Commando equipment but were "defective" normal clones compared to the rest and hence designated CT instead of RC, specialising in different areas (like intelligence, senses, strength, etc.). I overall found the explanation for them lacking sincerely especially Omega but it's not a fundamentally different dynamic to what Delta Squad had going on and I think it'd be interesting for Crosshair to replace Sev and vice versa since that opportunity was wasted in the show itself.
>>738722931Filoni's about to make Kathleen Kennedy look like Martin Scorsese.
>>738728920Name a single big Japanese scifi film? All they have is TV of variable quality.
>>738730281I've said before in another thread but Mando and Toy Commercial is more of a Jon Favreau thing and even then alot of his decisions with S3 and some of S2 feel like they were forced on him. The only Glup Shitto in the upcoming movie is Zeb and the grown up Hutt from the TCW movie nobody watched.
>>738714875this guy was so goodshame about him passing right after this...
>>738686267The Jedi games are the best Star Wars game ever
>>738730443Apparently Ahsoka was 'his vision' and that was the most egregious "remember Anakin? member the clone wars?" shit ever. It wasn't that long ago people loved Favreau and thought he was rebelling against KK. It's taking a long time for them to realize Mando was never good. At some point you just have to conclude all these fucks are the same person.
>>738731532Mandalorian benefited a lot because it wasn't the sequel trilogy. Season 1 at least is a decent action adventure show. If every episode was released weekly without distinct season finales, it would be remembered as a show that had some good parts but fell off a cliff.
>>738710115The biggest sin of AotC is that it looks terrible. The CGI is just bad, and wasnt on par with the practical effects, even for the time.
>>738731949I think people want new stories but Disney doesn't believe they can sell without nostalgia callbacks or mandated merchandise material. If they had completely wrapped up the child arc in S1 and had Din Djarin running around doing bounty hunter quests they would draw comparisons to it feeling like a saturday monring cartoon. So now you need an overarching plot with Bo Kotan and Boba Fett with Gus Fring thrown in for good measure.
>>738693620
>>738711206Right, so you should be having Maul do it. Maul should be coming at him like a rabid dog, that Vader swipes aside and easily defends with less effort/movement, followed by a strong strike that blasts through Maul's defenses, only to get blocked by the Jedi Master. Show that them working together had potential before Maul let's the dark side cloud his judgement and betrays the Jedi for an opportunity to either put down Vader (but failing) or escape with the prize (twilek girl)
>>738686582Acquire and extinguish.
>>738732950i tire of mean-spirited gen x deconstruction slop
>>738693396The Unifying Force. Star Wars peaked and ended with NJO.
>>738693620He even hold the saber like a huge cock, the clear intention here is implying Luke is a molester uncle
>>738696136I want to say Bounty Hunter 2 but I know I'm gonna get monkey paw'dDisney has almost killed any interest I had in the Fetts and anything Mandalorian adjacent They only thing I have left is the aesthetic
the best star wars game was made by ubisoft for a single weekend and then they never did it againhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxN-N7Fjbng
>>738732430What you're seeing is a small snippet of a fight that encompasses the entire episode. Maul, the jedi and his padawan do work together to try and overcome Vader's defenses but it doesn't work, even when they have backup from people with blasters. Honestly Vader is also not taking them seriously, hes not even talking. This is the equivalent of spraying weed killer on your lawn, theres no emotion in it or effort.
>>738732950That argument is bad, exactly because you're talking about Luke SkywalkerLuke is the guy that decided that he wouldn't kill his father, even though he was a gigantic murderer and number 2 in a multiplanetary dictatorship, locked on a genocide campaign for two decades, and responsible for killing lots of people he knew. All because he saw a GLIMPSE of light on himNow, you want to tell me, that this cuck, suddenly decided to kill his nephew because he saw a glimpse of bad on him? Bro, come on.
>>738733610Strange that they never brought this back even after establishing a relationship with Disney and making a (shit) Star Wars game
>>738694854>these decisions were made at the Respawn level and were not the result of an "evil EA" or "overly controlling Lucasfilm/Disney.">"It was our team's game and yes, a few of the people with decision making power made choices," she said. The issue isn't with Cal or his actor, but "about opportunity lost".Now, that person who wanted black lesbian bs doesn't work at Respawn anymore, so maybe there's some hope?
>>738732214They definitely started to rely on WOW BOBA FETT WOW LUKE SKYWALKER references more as it went on. Those are kind of annoying by themselves, but it's much more annoying seeing the Mandalorian as a side character in his own show. After season 1, there was a craving to see him take charge and lead a team specifically to fight imperials. Seeing other characters frequently just do shit he wanted to do better than him and tell him what to do is painful to watch.
>>738732214>I think people want new stories but Disney doesn't believe they can sell without nostalgia callbacks or mandated merchandise material.Not really. Like half the reason the prequels and Lucas himself were trashed so much is that the movies were not like the original trilogy. It was decades of bitching. The franchise now is run by those people. It's easy to blame Disney because it's a giant corporation, but the truth is that they did give people exactly what they had been begging for.
>>738696136Star Wars: Battlefront IIII'll also nominate >>738696808. I think in general that licensed games are probably more fit for RPGs than action games.
am I the only one that hate everything rebellion related? I only really liked the Clone Wars stuff because it felt really expanded and more authentic. Like, the og trilogy is "ok" but everything after is really terrible and lacks more complex stuff like republic era. The universe is so fucking expandable and the most exciting thing is rebels? Ffs
>>738700086>The ammount of bullshit people have been spreading about him since TPM came out is insane.For some Gen Xers, it's all they have anymore when it comes to Star Wars. I couldn't believe that RLM was handwaving away any issue with the Kenobi series by STILL relying on you to care more about movies from 20 years ago.
>>738693268>TFA looks gorgeous visuallyNo it doesnt, the prequels were visually stunning, there's so much creative, memorable design work in lucas's films and it was all replaced by nostalgia wank.
>>738724940Weebs are so fucking retarded.
>>738734874>the prequels were visually stunningExcept all the parts that are obviously CGI
>>738734874Hi, George.The prequels look like video games. Actors are walking in front of green screen and then early 2000 CG fills in a hallway behind them. Even shots of characters were sometimes done in CG. TFA is absolutely gorgeous. I didn't have a single problem with the look or cinematography of that film, and even TLJ looked worse.
>>738732950I told both of those to eat shit.
>>738733659Anon, I watched the whole thing. My point was that you dont even need to change the overall plot of the episode, you just need to make changes to the choreography that better tell a story to have it leave a lasting impact for all 3 characters, instead of just Vader.I get that they wanted Vader to fight more similar to the OT, the problem is that by having the other 2 play by those rules they dont demonstrate their own characters. Yes, they tried to show the basic outline of what I said, but they failed to really make it feel like 3 distinct styles, despite having the characters tell us thats whats happening.
>>738686267>retard who thinks he's an (((artist))) makes 3 meh movies that retcon each other as he procedes to pull new shit out of his ass>manchildren embrace it like the second coming of Christ>retard makes 3 prequels that are universally regarded as inferior to the original>manchildren can't stop themselves from shitting on the "new" movies 24/7>retard filmmaker gets mad the people who used to literally swallow his cum are now buttmad at him>sells to disneyif you like lucas so much you shouldn't have made fun of his (((vision)))I'm glad disney is destroying the ip, I hope they kill the franchise entirely
>>738710248It was more>oh my God RLM is so right, geriatric obiwan vs vader awkwardly shambling around was actually the best fight scene in the series. actual fight choreography is cringe and stupid, fight scenes are about emotion, we need to keep cutting to their stupid looking faces because nobody cares about the swords in a sword fight
>>738734874>>738735139The prequels had fantastic audio and visual design, the sequels had Abrams' signature style which fits Star wars fairly well. Both are "stunning" in drastically different areas.
>>738710487Red letter media shat all over his work and convinced an entire generation of npcs that the fight choreography in the prequels was stupid and shitty. There is no way in hell a gen x starwars fan from that eceleb npc era would have asked him to work on a new trilogy.
>>738734778I really don't know how RLM can make fun of Disney manchildren with Nerd Crew while also talking about The People vs George Lucas like it's something you should take seriously. I legitimately cannot watch a full clip of that fucking movie because of the secondhand embarassment.
>>738735418Abrams work is formulaic and forgettable, at best I would call it adequate, stunning or beautiful is reserved for films that go far beyond marvel movie slop.
>>738686267While locking star wars exclusively to ea for a decade was the wrong call, handing over the ip to every other niggerdev is also paying off poorly. Now shart wars has either shovelware or games in development hell, just kill it already
>>738735750Banana
>>738735139I didn't think it was possible for a film watcher to be a graphics whore. I've never seen anything like podracers before, amedalas design is cool, darth maul is a great design, the ship and vehicle design was all fresh and creative, the environments, architecture and interiors are full of original designs and to this day people like prequel shit in games like battlefront because it looks so good.What did they do in TFA? Ohhh it's an Xwing but this time the engine is a semi circle instead of a circle. Uhh its a lightsaber but this time is has a pointless hilt. Whoah calm down JJ you're going to hurt yourself being so creative and visually adept
>>738697008Have you ever tried explaining to a woman that she's wrong?
>>738731189Shame about him being stuck in Filoni's pet's show
>>738722931The mandolorian was shit, pure fanboy wank. He should be making fan comics and children's cartoons, not actual films and tv series. He is too much of a fanboy to ever put out anything interesting.
>>738735139This is true of AotC and to a slightly lesser extent RotS. TPM still looks amazing.
>>738736457>I didn't think it was possible for a film watcher to be a graphics whoreMovies should look good. I don't want a Star Wars film made by pointing a digital camera from 30 years ago at cardboard props.>Ohhh it's an Xwing but this time the engine is a semi circle instead of a circle.I consider art design different from the look of the movie, which depends on cinematography, effects and storyboarding. It is absurd that episode 7 has evil Stormtroopers again, among other things. There's a general attempt to be way too much like A New Hope, and it's routinely criticized for that. It's as good-looking as an A New Hope clone can be, though.
>>738736457I dont know if I should be surprised or disappointed by the fact that Disney with infinite resources in 3 movies couldn’t create a biome as interesting as Naboo.
>>738733696It was intentional. All of it is.>Luke, the character whose defining moment was his refusal to kill his family, tries to kill his family>Han, whose defining moment was giving up his smuggler lifestyle to save the people he cares about, actually just went right back to that lifestyle while the galaxy burned>Leia, the wise diplomat and tactician who fought for a free galaxy and saw her dream realized, stood by impotently while all her allies cowered and allowed the first order to riseAnd so on. This is their 'deconstruction', it's a deliberate sabotage of all the values these characters embody.
>>738737197I think your priorities are completely retarded. You are essentially praising the grammar of a sentence while ignoring all of the content, then you call it stunning and beautiful while shitting on the film with visual substance. I'm not going to praise Lucas and pretend he's a wizard with a camera but what he was showing you was actually worth seeing, there was also logic behind the dry movement of the camera, because every aspect of the film was full of fantasy he wanted it to be shot more like a documentary to ground it.With JJ there is no deeper thought or intent behind anything, it's just low tier action film cinema, text book marvel slop action film composition and starwars wank, any director in Hollywood could give you what he did on a visual level.
Why is alien jailbait so tempting?
>>738737895Its cause you’re a sick fuck.
>>738737895The force made them that way
>>738696136new kotor game assuming they don't butcher it
>>738737863>then you call it stunning and beautifulGo ahead and point out a single time I called the film stunning or beautiful. Let's look.>It is absurd that episode 7 has evil Stormtroopers againHmm. Actually I was critical of the film. Almost like I didn't ever give the impression that I think the film is stunning and beautiful.>Lucas and pretend he's a wizard with a camera but what he was showing you was actually worth seeingIf you're 6 years old. He talked about walking Yoda to do front flips with a lightsabers because that would be compelling to people amused by jingling keys. Most lightsaber fights are people swinging their weapon in midair never actually attempting to hit someone with it.I don't want to talk very much about what the prequels look like. My point is not that that TFA is better than something else. It's that it looks good.
>>738710453LOL
>>738722751
>>738737230I dont think people give Lucas enough credit for being so visually creative, it's basically the only skill where he truly excels but people either take how crazy his ideas are for granted or they see it as childish and unrefined. He's an illustration nerd and formed teams of very talented artists. Every starwars film is full of iconic, wacky shit and you only appreciate how unique that level of visual ambition is in retrospect, after seeing decades of repetitive expensive noise.Its actually not surprising that starwars hasn't shown you anything interesting since he left because lucas was obsessed with showing you shit you hadn't seen before and him being a ridiculous ideas man was actually the heart of the series.
>>738738778If something looks boring it doesn't look good. If you take up the argument of another poster midway they don't whine when people conflate your posts. You're still implying what makes for good visuals is cinematic grammar and not what is actually shown on screen or why it is shown.That criticism of the lightsaber fights is straight RLM vomit from an eceleb worshipping npc. Do you also watch Hong Kong action films and whine about how unecessary and showy the action is?
>>738703069
>>738691934>He copies things he likes Btw literally true, the ending of Rebels has Ahsoka appear in all white with a staff literally copying Gandalf the White>then throws in some wolf related imagery and retconsYeah he's a massive furfag, btw originally TCW was going to have an OC wolf self insert that was going to be Ahsoka's boyfriendLet's say that Filoni has some really questionable ideals
>>738739890>TCW was going to have an OC wolf self insert that was going to be Ahsoka's boyfriendThat wolfboy's name? Fave Diloni.
>>738693090Mike Stoklasa and Red Letter Media ruined Star Wars
Is it difficult for modders to make new maps for Battlefront 2 (EA)? I wish there was more variety like in the old Battlefronts
>>738741715I have no idea what EA has done for their games but iirc there was an official map maker released for the classic ones.
>>738692884I'm so sorry George. I love Star Wars, I didn't think it would come to this.
>>738694632How can a character be done dirty by the source material
>>738693090>George makes 6 kino films that are enjoyed by multiple generations and help define an entire genre>redditfagmedia makes Space Coplel
>>738738919>actually not surprising that starwarsnot to mention they had nothing but "remember this" to actually draw people to the new movies
>>738695136Absolutely loathe the toothpick sabers
>>738686582when people stopped calling him baby yeed, i checked out
>>738706031I assumed it was gone because they made a point of showing the galactic capital being blown up out of nowhere and that always meant Coruscant
>>738743118I still call him baby yeed because I don't respect them.
>>738737230But, the sets for the so called backwater known as Tatooine are so cheap! Never you mind that it is supposed to be out of the way and relatively unknown.
>>738735041The ST has several times more CGI than the prequels.
>>738743180No the capital had been moved to hosnian prime, which got blown up. Coruscant is still there
>>738733290I liked NJO, but Zonama Sekot can fuck off. Stupid deus ex machina planet.
>>738696136Let me just slaughter all the characters in a sandbox because star wars fucking blows now
>>738743404so fucking cheap to come up with a literal who plan, make it the capital, and blow it up for fake shock effect before you even realise it actually exists
>>738695389Except they aren't using highways in space. They are using safe routes. The safe routes change all the time and so navigational computers have to be used to calculate the safe route to a destination based on the latest star chart information. The thing is, the routes are going to be known and calculable by anyone with the latest charting information and a functional navigational computer. A hazard that needs to be avoided is a hazard that needs to be avoided, which creates a predictable route. Come on, this isn't difficult to understand.
Zoomer apologists for the Star Wars prequels will never stop being funny to me. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
>>738692884The prequels are high-concept independent art films and I've never seen any meaningful criticism of them not rooted in ignorance, contempt for the author or are comprised of juvenile seething that their hollow fanfiction did not make it to screenThese sorts of "fans" got what they deserve with Disney Wars
>>738735139Sequels look like fucking slopI'd expand more on what I mean by that but I only watched these movies once each and I can only remember that they look like generic nu-cgi slop
>>738693990If Maul was never truly a Sith Lord, then why couldn’t Sidious have just gone back to using him as a high level assassin when he learns he’s still alive? That’s what Plagueis and him did before. You would think an asset like that in the Clone War would have been useful.
>>738744602Maul was blatantly a Sith Lord, considering he was given the title of Darth, something an assassin like Ventress doesn't get.
>>738744032The Phantom Menace looks amazing. It is the perfect blend of CGI, practical effects, models, and on-location filming, like LotR and Jurassic Park. George might have overdone it a bit with Episode 2.
>>738744703I know the novel isn’t officially canon, but that breaks the Rule of Two, which obviously Sidious had, but for Maul to truly have been the apprentice he needed his master to be Dark Lord of the Sith, which he never was during his time with the order.
>>738744032>the last time any blockbuster, big budgeted movie franchise looked this good>the prequels finished 21 years ago
>>738697007Becoming the most important character in the lore.
>>738720749>they praise the sequel trilogyThis has never happened. I think both trilogies are easy enough to ignore, but the prequels are more of an infection by the nature of being prequels.
>>738744032I always felt like the Clone Wars were an entirely wasted sci-fi concept in star wars. The clones should have been the aggressors, Sidious could have funded the people making the clones from mandalorian warriors and then they would invade the Republic in an attempt to conquer it. Then he uses the Republic to draft the Galaxy's prime fighting age men from 18-35 to grind down that entire cohort in a protracted war of attrition to make sure that regardless of which side wins there won't be enough men to fight back against his creation of the Empire. So he grinds down the population of the entire galaxy fighting clones and by the time the war ends everyone is poor and tired and willing to let him start the empire to overthrow the incompetent Republic that couldn't fight back against the clone armies. He makes the empire, sabotages his cloning operations and makes it look like the new Imperial Army is winning the war, then everyone loves him. The galaxy is devastated and welcomes his reconstruction efforts and military volunteers go through the roof since he won and gets an entire generation of diehard loyalists for winning an existential army against clones that were wiping out entire planets of naturally born people.
>>738744032>a cinegrid comprised of mostly establishing shotsI actually think TPM is often a nice looking film, but lol
>>738745349Addendum, I always felt like clones vs droids felt like there weren't any actual stakes in the war. The entire Republic should have had to mobilize and draft everyone to fight. Instead you have two seemingly endless artificial armies fighting where casualties don't mean anything.
>>738739264>Do you also watch Hong Kong action films and whine about how unecessary and showy the action is?Their choreography is more interesting, and the best of them--like King Hu's work--is better-shot than the prequels on top of it. TPM doesn't even have Liam Neeson's best sword fight. I actually think the issue with most action in the prequels is the integration of the effects work more than the choreography per se, but in any case it doesn't justify the time spent on it.
>>738692884I never stopped believing, George.
>>738744032Rewatched Phantom Menace last week and Jar-Jar's presence hurts the movie, I don't think a single scene wouldn't be improved from his removal (dropping him after introducing the Gungan city and just having the ship autopilot to Naboo would be best and wouldn't have to rewrite any scenes afterward). Otherwise I agree
>>738730301ghost in the shellstar wars has better videogames and worldbuilding, but it has an immature baby plot googoogaga
>>738722931He's blamed for Star Wars becoming meaningless fan service and glup shitto wank which has been an over correction of what Disney did with the Last Jedi. I don't think it's entirely his fault, when corporate suits get caught up on an idea it's hard to make them let it go. Even if he wanted to kill off Ahsoka I doubt Disney would let him
>>738746309You'd have to do a minor rewrite to have the royal entourage meet up with Boss Nass without Jarjar, but it wouldnt take much.
>>738747004>Even if he wanted to kill off AhsokaLOL
>>738747017You could just write out all the gungans to begin with.
>>738696136a bounty hunter game rpg, but AWAY from the same shit characters and shit setting, no empire, no clones, basically the old republic setting but so close to the same era as those game
>>738704203>David Cage's Star Wars game is in development hell and he said he is relying on the release of some hero shooter or mmo no one has heard of to fund its completionWtf is Disney doing? David Cage games are popular as fuck. So he shouldn't have to depend on some fucking hero shooter for funding. Disney should be giving that man a blank fucking check for his Star Wars game. Detroit Become Human was fucking HUGE and Heavy Rain, his other game, is iconic and a massive meme (in a good way). Is Disney retarded? Why refuse to fund this, and then throw money at shit like Solo and Acolyte?
>>738733610What the fuck is that retarded webm you posted?
>>738693396Traitor from the NJO book series was really damn good, but it requires context from a lot of good, and some really shitty books to fully absorb it. Thrawn Trilogy still holds up as well.
>>738747104Would take further rewrites, the droid control ship set piece doesn't work without the tension of the invasion. You could have a pitched battle with earlier in the movie with security forces, or have them not have captured Theed already, but those are more major changes.You unfortunately need the native (or at least non-theed military) army to add stakes to the scene.
>>738747104And you could fucking kill yourself
>>738693396>What's the best EU novel?Darth Bane Path of Destruction unironically got me into reading back when I was kid.

>>738749294isn't the book older than the 3d show?
I heard Visions got another Japanese season, is it any good?

>>738749901so the crew assumed correctly?
It outlaws had better characters it would have been a lot more enjoyable. The gameplay was fine. But spunky nice girl "outlaw" and some ugly aliens instead of a rugged gunslinger was a huge mistake. Even an arthur morgan type would have fit the game so much better.
>>738750000Technically, I suppose. Plagueis himself denies being a banker, probably because he views himself as a Sith Lord first and a financial guy second.
>>738750074I would have to reread the book but thanks to the banking clan and his connections, he was able to get the money to make the clone armymaybe I'm remembering wrong, I don't know
Haven't been into SW lately but this Maul show is pretty good, I guess western animation can look good once in a while. I'm surprised it's made by the same hack who made Ahsoka
>>738750191>I'm surprised it's made by the same hack who made AhsokaIt actually had a different showrunner. Filoni just gets to slap his name on everything
>>738750191There were a few episodes of Ahsoka written and directed by Filoni. He isn't credited as writer or director on any of Maul.
>>738696136A game about the Hundred-Year Darkness would be fucking kino, especially if it would be played from the side of dark jedi and focus on alchemy and various ways to use dark side beyond just anger
>>738749175Just finished reading this yesterday. Keked when Sideous is showing off Maul to Plagueis. He trained a hyper-specialized jedi assassin, but kept him super gimped everywhere else so he could never be a threat to them. Literally trained him wrong as a joke like anon was saying >>738699368I wonder if that's why Obi-Wan was able to beat him. He was pissed off and maybe tapping into a bit of dark-side energy during that fight.
>>738712548It's honestly sad. Sessler levels of crashing and burning.
>>738749407I enjoyed Tales of the Jedi, I liked the focus on the early Sith Empire, but my favorite was Qel-Drom.
Bump!
>>738749407Not really, though I like the pulp vibe of TotJ the writing is mostly terrible.
After the positive reaction to Liara and Tali, Casey Hudson is almost certain to give us a twilek waifu in FotOR. The catch? she'll have african facial features

>>738686267simple. fat old women and jews
>>738749407I've read the Naga Sadow and early Ulic Qel-Droma stuff and it's very mediocre. You've got to accept that comics are just a dumb medium in general and temper your expectations. Just enjoy the ride.
>>738722931You know how Karen Traviss had her own little bubble where she only gave a shit about her own characters? That also applies to Filoni. Traviss and her Mandowank was relegated to her own works, Dave invented time travel to undo Ahsoka's ending that even her detractors agree would have been a fitting end for her. Throw in memberberries and characters named after wolves and you have the Filoni method of writing.
