Do you guys have any fan fiction-esque ideas you'd like to see happen in the new canon?
Here's one of mine. It could happen anywhere, but could work even in rebels
>It turns out as part of his whole cyborgness, Grievous' mind was stored away in a computer
>Somehow his consciousness gets stored into some useless droid (thinking like a gonk droid or protocol droid or something)
>he's really pissed off because he's an actual droid now
>somehow he ends up joining the rebels because he thinks the empire is just the republic
>he gets super pissed when he finds out Kanan and Ezra are jedi

A man can dream. I'd also be happy if we could get Grievous' body to show up in a movie, as either an actual battle droid, or a bartender or waiter using the 4 arms for drinks and stuff.

The Knights of Ren don't use lightsabers, except for Kylo who has one because he admires his grandfather.
Also, they don't believe in a "Rule of Two", so they're probably not as self-destructive as the Sith were.

I would like to see an evil Mon Calamari with a General Grievous robot body.

I would also like to see C3PO and R2-D2, except evil. Oh, and Boba Fett paired with his own evil version of Chewbacca.

It would also be neat to see Darth Vader have a quirky girl sidekick who wears goggles like a Digimon character.

He got really emptional and killy in Empire. But in Hope, he lets Stormtroopers fail and even talk back without punishment. Yet in the comics after that, Vader gives a guy a 360 neck adjustment for seeing him with a cracked helmet.

Early in the Empire Vader is still very prone to randomly killing shit. Then in the end of Empire after being rejected by Luke then in Return, it seems his energy is kind of gone and and doesn't give a fuck anymore.

I'd say it depends on era. But stealing or losing your equipment is always good.

TIE Punisher.

You take a TIE Bomber with tech from TIE Advanced prototypes, load on three more pods so it has the firepower of a Star Destroyer, then send like six of them to wipe out all life on a planet or ensure a capital ship, regardless of shields or speed, is destroyed.

Much cheaper and more stealthy than sending a Star Destroyer.

Basically the TIE equivalent to Cold War nuclear submarines.

It wouldn't work too well. And unlike >>78983003 says, the rule of two has nothing to do with it.

Your first instinct might be to say that the Sith would just straight up kill each other, but that's not what their culture is about.

First and foremost, like everyone else stated - the Sith fucking despise each other, but they won't straight up kill, as that would be too easy and unsatisfying.

The Sith only care about one thing, only one simple thing - Power.

Instead, they'd try to break each other, humilaite and overpower each other. The fundamental belief of the Sith is that domination and submission are inevitable in life. The strong thrive, and the weak are their playthings.

From an EU perspective, if you took all the Sith across the entire history of their galaxy and stuck them on a giant, lush planet, then the caste system immediately erects itself (much like the DS users did with the actual native Sith species after the 100 year clusterfuck)

The absolute strongest Sith: Palpatine, Vitiate, Nihilus, etc. would hold all the rest under constant submission and threat of death. All the female Sith would essentially just be fucktoys and trophy items to them unless they're strong enough to fight back.

Their entire society would be based upon the notion that: "I'm STRONG, I'm physically and mentally superior to you in every way and you are NOTHING, less than nothing. You only exist to give me amusement and pleasure"

I'd take a stab at what an entire society of Jedi would be like BOTH Old Jedi and Luke's New Jedi, but I don't think anyone cares.

According to the visual dictionary (page posted last thread if anyone is interested) he earned his name through betraying Luke's Jedi and murdering them.

We were wondering exactly what the heck that meant since he was supposed to be a boy when he betrayed them and his dueling wasn't exactly impressive in TFA beyond just stabbing people standing in front of him. Though he was wounded when he had his first real theatrical duel.

Actually, It kinda does. Bane started the rule of two because Sith had a nasty habit for killing eachother. Almost moreso than they did the Jedi. Bane had the old Sith Empire wiped out to eliminate infighting.

Though I agree with pretty much everything else you said.

>I'd take a stab at what an entire society of Jedi would be like BOTH Old Jedi and Luke's New Jedi

We don't know how different Luke's Jedi were assuming they were different at all. Though I'm pretty sure you're talking about old EU Luke's Jedi.

Not necessarily. The Nightsisters adhered to the dark side and they were pretty loyal to each other. Sith got all backstabbity because of all the groups who gave into the dark side, the Sith were the most immersed in it.

Okay, Kylo pushed into Rey's mind and basically saw her entire childhood over the course of twenty seconds, right?

He clearly wasn't just a boy back then. The massacre was probably just 10-15 years ago. And yes, what we saw in the flashback was definitely Luke's Jedi academy getting destroyed by the KoR. The MSW leaks referred to the people at the academy as "Clan" and they were fighting the "Seven" with Luke's lightsaber. That part was probably cut out of the movie or maybe it wasn't even in the final script. But Kylo murdered adult Jedi. The reason why his dueling wasn't that "impressive" in TFA is that he was just toying with Finn and didn't try to kill Rey.

Using the force is sort of like a switch you hold down. Kylo Ren warned his men that the longer they took to capture her, the more she would realize how many things he can use the force with to get what she wants. It's not like the games were each force ability has to be unlocked seperateley. You just have to realize the force can be done that way, and everything else is practice+getting over your own mental hangups

Sure, that's possible. But one might as easily assume that she just tried to do what Holonet-/x/ on Holonet-4chan told her that Jedi are capable of doing. Since she's supposed to be a fangirl and all.

The overriding problem was that it felt shit on screen.

Which one reason why I'm glad about the canon reboot. Between Luke's 'new' Jedi and the prequel era Jedi, I liked the latter and didn't like that Luke's Jedi weren't anything like them. Yeah, I know, the 'new' Jedi came well before the PT Jedi. But I always kept the films stuff over the EU even then.

I just hope what Luke has learned and teaches Rey bears resemblance to the old order and none of this casual 'academy'-esqe nonsense.

Mostly this

The empire doesn't into intermediate ships, it's either star fighters or Supercarriers/Battleships.

Also the raider is a beast on tabletop, it's basically a giant turbolaser with engines. It has no hanger and instead has a massive generator so it's output is on par with the bigboys, while still being quick an maneuverable. It also has a load out where it has little ordinance and just bristling with quad turrets so it can swat smaller craft like flies as it lights up the sky like a rave party.

Besides, the whole point of the New Jedi Order was that they remedied the greatest "mistake" in the galaxy. The Old Jedi set themselves up to fall, one of the better ideas Lucas had for the Prequels.

As much as everyone hates Lucas's "poetry", the Prequels showed that the pressures of Anakin's live (Slavery, Death of Mother, etc.) were compounded on by his life as a Jedi.

The point was to show that the old Archaic Jedi Order brought Anakin to a breaking point, and he didn't have the unique perspectives that Luke did to guide him.

Anakin was expected to conform and perform within expectations even with the personal traumas around him.

Luke got a fresh perspective on the Force from Obi-Wan and Yoda, and was essentially told to embrace it, as well as his own feelings (unlike Anakin).

So yeah, the Old Jedi were getting stagnant and complacent in their own dogma to the point where they were internally sabotaged by one of their own (Vader) and destroyed by someone they were blinded to (Palpatine)

He actually was 100% correct. Scenes like the floating lightsaber, Maz using force powers or Kylo in the Millenium Falcon were just cut out of the movie.

>On Cinemascore, audiences gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale; women, under-25s and under-18s gave it an "A+", while 98% of audiences gave it an "A" or "B".
>Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph gave The Force Awakens five stars out of five and wrote that it "sets out to shake Star Wars from its slumber, and reconnect the series with its much-pined-for past. That it achieves this both immediately and joyously is perhaps the single greatest relief of the movie-going year.
>Variety's Justin Chang wrote that the film has "sufficient style, momentum, love and care to prove irresistible to any who have ever considered themselves fans."
>Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film four stars out of four, describing it as "a beautiful, thrilling, joyous, surprising and heart-thumping adventure."
>Ann Hornaday, writing for The Washington Post, thought the film had "enough novelty to create yet another cohort of die-hard fans ... The Force Awakens strikes all the right chords, emotional and narrative, to feel both familiar and exhilaratingly new."
>Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle gave the film his highest rating and called it "the best Star Wars sequel yet and one of the best films of 2015."

And even the more critical reviewers called Abrams a highly skilled director:

>Reviewing for Forbes, Scott Mendelson cited the film's "top-tier production values and a strong sense of scale and scope", but felt it was so much "an exercise in fan service [that] it is only due to the charisma and talent of our newbies and J.

I more thought it was Palpatine's goading Anakin's pride and preying on his insecurities that did that. If he wasn't singled out by the master Sheevster, he'd have been fine.

>Luke got a fresh perspective on the Force from Obi-Wan and Yoda

He got maybe a few good hours with Kenobi, researched old Jedi manuscripts and had on/off sessions with Yoda, who seemingly only taught him the very bare basics. So I wouldn't exactly call it fresh unless you're referring to all the stuff they didn't get a chance to teach him.


At the end of the day, I don't see much of a problem with how the old Jedi order and code was. It worked pretty successfully for probably millions of Jedi for centuries. They just got stuck in something that was designed to make them fall and their star pupil got Sheeved.

... which could also be said of the Luke's new canon Jedi.

If Rey was JUST one of Luke's Jedi Trainees and NOT related to him, Leia, or Han, then that would be amazing.

Kylo "Jacen" Ren I can understand, for "drama". But leave Rey, Poe and Finn as relative unknowns in this series.

But Why My Friend?

Why does everyone have to be related? I understand the whole Kenobi vs Skywalker thing but still, it feels like a cop out with writers.

Plus, the idea that Rey, a simple nobody, was able to embrace the Force and defeat a DS trainee speaks volumes, as opposed to "I'm really strong because my Dad was strong too!"

Same with Finn. He didn't have a chance in hell against Kylo but he swallowed up his fear and did his best to hold off Kylo. Poe gets a slight pass because he's a trained pilot, like his parents, but not the Chosen One.
>>
>>78990587
Kylo's attack was actually her fault snapping the necks of other force trainees in Luke's Jedi class. It was blame on kylo because he was angry and emotional at the time. She "survived" his slaughter and had her mind erased of all events before that.

>>78990733
>Why does everyone have to be related?
Because it's a story focused on one family in particular: the Skywalkers. In fact the various trilogies are all about the next generation of Skywalker protagonists. Anakin in the Prequels, Luke (and, to a lesser extent as far as the whole Jedi thing goes, Leia) and now Ben and...Rey? Maybe.

There's also their love of poetry in these movies which tends a bit towards repetition. Obi-Wan trained two Skywalkers, there would be poetry in the sequel trilogy having a Skywalker (trained by a Kenobi) training another Kenobi. But that's just a possibility.

Also worth mentioning to her X-Wings are important.
In the book she has an X-Wing flight simulator to play for recreation which is hiw she learned to fly, she put on an X-Wing pilot helmet to comfort herself when feeling without hope, and she has a doll in her house that looks like a handmade X-Wing pilot.

I'd prefer her being Wedge's daughter to a Solo, Skywalker, or Kenobi.

Probably not. Vader had it under control though. Once he owned the fact that HE was responsible for what had happened to him (the big NOOOOOOOOOO) he became incredibly focused. He never actually lost control in the original trilogy. There were no temper tantrums from Vader.
>choked rebels officer and tossed him
Yeah, he was pissed, but that was mostly theatrics for his men. He likely had mind probed the guy for information, which confirmed the plans were on the ship and one of the passengers had them.
>forced choked Admiral Motti "I find your lack of faith disturbing"
Dude was dissing Vader. He couldn't let that pass. And he let him go without killing him when Tarkin told him to because he'd made his point.
>forced choked Admiral Ozzel
Oh boy. "You have failed me for the last time, admiral" if you go back and watch the opening minutes of New Hope, Vader's officers question him several times. He doesn't flip out and murder them because these are guys who have been working with him for a decade or more. He trusts their abilities and judgement, so when they ask what he's doing, he tells them so they're on the same page, or even changes his plans based on their advise. Problem is, all those guys died on the Death Star and Vader is stuck with a bunch of incompetent ass kissers in Empire Strikes Back. From Vader's line, this isn't the first time Ozzel has screwed the pooch, and Vader has had enough. Instead of dropping out of light speed out side of Rebel sensor range and sending in a commando team to blow the shield generator, Vader has to mount a full assault that costs the Empire at least two Walkers, an unknown number of men and possibly a Star Destroyer over Hoth. So he kills him and promotes Piett, which is actually competent.

There's always been Force sensitives.
But unless they get training they may at best have good reflexes.

Unlike Harry Potter wizards who can accidently turn a housecat into a toaster by giggling at the age of ten, the Force seems to be something you either have to chance on and discover or be taught how to feel it. Which is exactly what Obi-wan taught Luke.

Which is Luke's strength. He spent so long only being able to do one thing that he became one of the best ever at it, and used it to compensate for the fact nobody showed him anything else.

They were being born anyway, Sheev's machinations just destroyed two specific cults. Technically three with the Nightsisters apparently gone, or at least nothing said about any surviving.

Curiously the Cosmic Force actually took a nap when Luke lost his Order and decided to fuck off into space. It only woke up again when Rey found the sword.

Fucking how?

He's a clumsy excuse for a Force User that lost to an untrained girl and a former Trooper. His "master" says he's not done with his training, but Kylo doesn't act as impressive as any other Dark Siders we've seen.

Plus there's no way to even slightly redeem him because that would be the dumbest shit ever, and no one would accept it if he did genuinely want to change.

What the fuck is so special about the "Knights of Ren" anyway? They look like a bunch of rejects and I doubt that they're as much of a threat as the Sith were. Kylo's probably the only one who has a saber or Force Powers.

This new trilogy is shaping up to be complete shit in the "villain" department.

Not entirely. That was a big part of TFA if you haven't seen it yet. Basically

The Force is still out of balance because there are new Dark Siders trying to fill the void left by the Sith, but there are no Jedi to provide balance because they were all killed. Again. Snoke is afraid that as long as Luke is out there more Jedi will be trained.

Basically Anakin took out the big bad wolf but the attempt to train new shepherds to tend the galactic flock was spoiled by new, if smaller, wolves. Cutting out the metaphors the Force wasn't permanently balanced by any means, it can still be unbalanced again as long as there are no Jedi or Jedi-like organizations to keep the balance.

How was he laughable as a villain exactly? He slaughtered everyone in Luke's academy, stopped a blaster bolt in midair, murdered one of the OT main characters and dominated Rey and Finn, even though he was badly injured and didn' want to kill Rey.

Other threads have pointed it out but there is a reason none of them do that. It's because they have these nifty laser swords that not only stop but deflect blaster bolts right into the face of the person who fired them. Freezing a bolt for a few minutes and then it suddenly zips on and hits whatever is in front of it isn't really a responsible act for a Jedi. At least when Vader deflected Han's shots with his bare hand he aimed for the walls.

Oh, I've seen it. But I don't agree with you there. He fulfilled it. Just because there are still dark side users still out there doesn't mean the force is still out of balance. The turmoil and misery the Empire created has ceased on a galactic scale. With the Sith, knowing how to use the dark side so such a degree to tap into that to draw power from, no longer there, the force has leveled out.

>>78992105

But Kylo's not complex. He's a one dimensional character who obeys Snoke's orders like a lap dog - much like Maul.

Unless you're one of those idiots who thinks Kylo's "Just Misunderstood and really coming to terms with his inner conflict".

In terms of accomplishments, Maul actually managed to kill a Jedi Master.

Kylo allegedly killed a bunch of underaged Jedi Trainees. He was stupid enough to be enthralled by Snoke, and I'm supposed to take him seriously compared to Vader and Sidious?

He's a generic villain, simple as that. The fact that you can't even see that is worrying.

The Sith actively try to create as much Dark Side mojo as possible. These new guys are doing the same thing. Nobody is saying the galaxy is AS out of balance as it was under Sheev, but it's still not properly balanced because the other half of the equation, the Jedi, are gone. What the Sith did to fuck up the balance is nothing that can't be done by any other group devoted to the Dark Side, especially with the First Order expanding their darkness. The galaxy is teetering on the brink of a new collapse in the balance. The movie posits that only the Jedi can preserve it.

Not really surprising.

This, Kylo is not impressive in the slightest.

His greatest feat is a DS variant of Mind Trick / Telepathy. The Blaster Bolt thing isn't impressive since Trained Jedi and Sith have faster reflexes than him.

Assuming the Episode III Novel by Stower (Amazing Writer) is still Canon along with the movie, then it shows Sidious and Windu moving so fast that even Anakoin - a trained Jedi Knight, couldn't even keep up with them with his own fucking eyes.

One Blaster Bolt will hurt (kill if placed right), but Force Lightning will char you alive.

Dooku is one of the greatest duelists of his time, casually disarming both Obi-Wan and Anakin on numerous occasions in the movies.

Yoda lifted up Luke;s fucking X-Wing on Dagobah, and he's about to kick the bucket.

Palpatine was throwing Senator Pods at Yoda with ease, along with lightning.

Hell, Vader blocked Blaster Fire in ESB with his bare fucking hands (cyborg or Force, that's up to you).

MOVIE Sidious force choked Gunray from across the fucking Galaxy in a Holo Comn.

None of this even touches on the old EU. Kylo isn't shit - period.

Kylo hasn't even demonstrated basic shit like Force Speed or Jumps, he's a rank amateur and we're somehow supposed to believe that he's a credible threat in the grand scheme of things.

Believe it or not - I don;t hate Kylo - I just can't understand where the notion of him being "complex" and "badass" comes from.
>>
>>78992666
>But Kylo's not complex.

Yes he is. In fact, he is the most complex character in Star Wars.
He wears a mask because he is insecure and he desperately wants to be as powerful as Vader. He admires his grandfather, but he knows about the circumstances of his deauth and the Empire's deafeat. That's why he fears the light side of the force. He thinks that Vader failed because of his feelings for his son. That is why Kylo Ren thinks he needs to accomplish what Vader didn't to "save the galaxy". He didn't want to kill his father, but he needed to do it to destroy his inner light side. But he failed. He was actually weakened after Han's death because Kylo isn't actually a bad person. He just tries to be evil, but it's not in his nature. That's why he had to ask Han for his permission to kill him. That's why he didn't kill Finn in the village, even though he knew that Finn didn't obey his direct orders. And that's why he didn't kill his officers in his tantrums, even though he has a very short temper. Kylo Ren isn't completely evil, he is a conflicted character which is why he's so frustrated. Both the light and the dark are influencing his mind and his actions.

He is a very interesting and compelling villain. I really can't understand how anyone could find him uninteresting.
>>
>>78992812
>What the Sith did to fuck up the balance is nothing that can't be done by any other group devoted to the Dark Side,

Apparently that isn't so. The Sith were capable of creating a galactic wide conflict and subjugated everything that conflict was involved with to create a source of power for them. What Snoke and Kylo have done doesn't even measure to a speck of such an accomplishment. They blew up a couple planets, they haven't created pain, suffering and death everywhere in the galaxy. The latter is what it takes to put the force out of balance.

>The movie posits that only the Jedi can preserve it.

Never got that impression.

The force is balanced. I've no doubt Snoke wants to throw it out of balance. But he's nowhere even close to being there. Especially now that his notdeathstar is gone.
>>
>>78993137
It's one thing to describe his actions and his conflict, but that doesn't automatically make it a good one.

Just because he's going through some 'inner turmoil' doesn't elevate him to a good villain. I find him uninteresting because through all of his struggles, he still comes off has an unimpressive person. To me, it equates more with teen angst then a true psychological conflict.

I'm pretty sure he was weakened because of the fucking Bowcaster shot from Chewie.

Kylo's not some deep character with emotional turmoil.

If he's so conflicted, then why did he literally slaughter all of Luke's Trainees?

Why did he actually murder his father if he loved him? If he really was channeling both sides of the Force, he shouldn't been able to kill Han. If he was conflicted, why not push him all the way back and go after Rey and Finn without killing him?

Kylo didn't do anything to Finn because he actually thought Finn was beneath him as a lowly, cowardly Trooper - much like any evil megalomaniac would. He also taunts Finn during the final confrontation, something an empathic person probably wouldn't do.

See >>78992991. If Kylo was so conflicted, there should've been scenes showing his compassionate side. He should've showed mercy to the spy at the begining of the film, Leia and Han don't say anything about Ben's past, just that Snoke seduced him.

>>78993292 puts it best. There's nothing he does to truly show any lasting damage. Kylo's anger and temper problems read off more as an immature child who is angry that he's not evil and powerful enough like his idol Vader.

Actually what the Sith did isn't all that impressive. The Hutts have a pretty nasty empire in their own right, for instance. Conquering worlds isn't all that impressive and doesn't require a Sith, no not even at the scale at which the Empire existed. It helped, though. The FO isn't the Empire, they're a remnant, but they're also resurgent. Just because they haven't (yet) risen to the prominence of the old Empire doesn't mean they can't. Especially with the Republic dicking around and no Jedi.

As for the Jedi themselves, Von Sydow's character talks about the need for the Jedi to balance the Force. Later on Snoke is worried about Luke potentially training more. That's why Luke is in their crosshairs, after all. The movie wasn't even subtle about that, it's their whole reason for going to Jakku and hunting down BB-8.

It was good in my opinion, but that's of course subjective. It makes him a complex character though and he is certainly not one dimensional. He is literally the opposite of that.

>I find him uninteresting because through all of his struggles, he still comes off has an unimpressive person. To me, it equates more with teen angst then a true psychological conflict.

I really wouldn't just call it teenage angst after seeing Han's death scene or the scene where he talks to Vader's helmet. He reminds me a bit of a teenager who joins the IS in syria to rebel against their parents or our society. It might seem like typical angst, but you don't do shit like that if you're a mentally sane person.
Driver called Kylo Ren a religious fanatic and that's exactly what he acts like. That's why he feels scarier to me than a typical "badass" monster villain. He feels real. A villain who actually exists in our world.

>>78993378
>If he's so conflicted, then why did he literally slaughter all of Luke's Trainees?

We don't know that yet. I'm sure we will know it by the end of the trilogy.

>Why did he actually murder his father if he loved him?

I didn't say that he loved his father, but killing ones parents is more difficult than just slaughtering some desert villages. He did it, because Snoke told him that he had to do what Vader couldn't. Kylo wanted to finish what Vader started which is obviously not possible, if he "fails" where Vader failed. He certainly didn't kill Han because he was bloodthirsty. The novelization even describes how emotionally disturbed and "weakened" he was after the deed which is why he couldn't block Chewie's blaster shot.
>>
>>78993088
The frozen blaster bolt isn't all that impressive, really, but his ability to fuck around inside people's minds is. The Inquisitor showed that they use similar tactics but only impart feelings, particularly pain. Even Vader when was interrogating Leia couldn't just poke around in her head for the location of the Rebel base. I don't think people want to admit that Poe is just weak minded, but when Vader couldn't break Leia so easily who was a technical Force sensitive even if she hadn't manifested yet...

This kind of mental invasion could be specific to Snoke's teachings, something the Sith lacked. Wouldn't be the first time since the Nightsisters had their own particular powers while the Sith had their own ancient cauldron magic which Dooku didn't know about until Sidious showed him. Presumably that's all gone.

Everything you said between

Is more or less true.

But; 1, What the Sith (namely Sidious) accomplished was outrageously impressive. And 2, The FO/Empire can't reobtain what they lost. After the events of TFA, I doubt the Republic will continue standing around with their thumbs up their asses and get in gear.

>Von Sydow's character talks about the need for the Jedi to balance the Force

I think that was more the character's opinion than an actual matter of the force.

>Later on Snoke is worried about Luke potentially training more. That's why Luke is in their crosshairs, after all. The movie wasn't even subtle about that, it's their whole reason for going to Jakku and hunting down BB-8.

Because they're paranoid to the extent that Luke/the Jedi are the only things that can be a threat to them. Yet the whole movie proves otherwise. Their plot was foiled without a single Jedi to stand against them.
>>
>>78993937
That's an unfair comparison. We're not comparing Kylo's skill with the EU and it's DBZ power levels, but with characters like Maul, Dooku and Vader. And no one in the movies has ever knocked a person out by just effortlessly waving his hand, like Kylo did when hunting Rey on Takodana. That shit was impressive.

Still, Kylo's saber skills are pitiful at best. Movie Vader, Maul, Dooku and obviously Sidious would kill him with that alone.

Kylo's only interesting gimmick is his variant of Force Telepathy. None of the Sith really needed to bother, considering how their opponents were pretty much really strong Jedi throughout the movies and would most likely be either immune or highly resistant.

Look what happened when Kylo tried his TP on Rey in the interrogation chamber, she canceled him out, and I doubt Rey is as potent with the force as any other Sith or Jedi in the movies.

The knockout can be attributed to the same concept, screwing with a person's head (really convenient that he didn't do that to Finn during the last fight)

And even then, again Palpatine Force Choked Gunray across the fucking Galaxy. Vader is the greatest damage sponge in both trilogies (blaster fire in ESB).

>He feels real. A villain who actually exists in our world.
>It makes him a complex character though and he is certainly not one dimensional. He is literally the opposite of that.

Eh, I wouldn't go that far.

I dislike Lawrence Kasdan for his backpedaling use of his own rules on characterization. I'm paraphrasing here, but he states that a character doesn't need to do X or say Y, if it can be easily explained with a few lines of dialogue. Complexity comes later. Note, I'm not saying other characters in Star Wars can't be complex. Just discussing Kylo.

So here we have Kylo Ren. Conflicted soul that is torn between the light and the dark. By talking to Vader's helmet and killing his father he attempts to free himself. Again, with all his struggles we see in TFA, it pushes his character towards being one dimensional instead of away. It's not like in a good plot related way by saying "Kylo is conflict, Kylo is strife upon his enemies." He whines, argues, and tantrums all across the film, and I'm told that he is a complex character.

This attempt at complexity is poor, as was his entire characterization.

I love the fact that you're actually trying to rationalize the EU, nobody does that, we just accept it for what it is.

However to be fair, based on what Palpatine showed in the Prequel Trilogy, Luke should never have been a threat to him. If he could sense Luke from that far away, he could easily have followed him to Dagobah and killed him and Yoda right then and there.

At the end of Episode III, Yoda flat out states that he's not strong enough to take down Palpatine, and it's why he was so desperate for Luke to complete his training in Episode V.

But he didn't, for the exact same reason - plot.

>>78994049
That assumes both that the Republic can get their shit together, especially their their political upheaval since the Chancellor and all the senators are dead and need replacing, not to mention all their ships, and once they do will they have the stomach for another long term war? Especially against an enemy that has its evil space giant wizard man leading it. Leia is just with the Resistance and we have no idea how advanced her abilities are. With Von Sydow he was never refuted, in fact the actions of Snoke affirm his feelings on the matter.

You don't just balance the Force and fix everything forever. There will always be new threats. If not the Sith then someone else. The galaxy needs people who can keep the peace, maintain the balance, and in the old days that was the Jedi. This new trilogy is basically return of the Jedi: the long edition. If they'd made the sequels much earlier this would have been about Luke's new Jedi order. Since the OT cast is so old they had to account for why Luke didn't start his new order earlier. So in this version he did but it didn't work out. Now he has to be convinced to try again.

The comics are still in their early days, so it's very easy to catch up and read them all in just a few hours. They're all decent-great, except IMO Leia, which was very weak and felt more like some unnecessary social commentary which I didn't care for.

Rebels is much weaker than TCW, but still has its high points, and is improving pretty quickly. Again, it's in its early days, and wouldn't take more than a few hours to fully catch up, so there's no reason not too.

If I can tempt you, well it's possibly the last time you'll get any on-screen Vader action, and definitely the last time you'll hear James Earl Jones.

I don't disagree with you, but the problem I have with "Kylo doubters" is that you are talking about Kylo's skill as if he already reached his full potential. He clearly hasn't. Abrams called him the "anti-Luke" and said that he wanted to create a villain who has his own arc and gets more powerful over time, just like Luke. Just compare ANH Luke to ROTJ Luke and you'll notice how different they are, and not just in skill and power, but also the different attitude. Kylo Ren and Rey have already shown us some pretty impressive feats. Now imagine how strong they'll be in the next movie. And in Episode IX. I think the new force users are going to surpass the prequel Jedi and Sith by far.

I doubt it. If anything, the Sequel Trilogy is an indication that both the Jedi and Sith are truly dead, and their secrets and techniques with them.

Snoke isn't a Sith, and Luke barely had any training himself. At best all he'd be able to find would be Jedi Holocrons.

The Sequel Trilogy will carry the exact same concept as the OT - the most skilled and knowledgeable Force Users are all dead.

The "Awakening" just means that the power vacuum left behind by the Jedi and Palpatine's empire is finally filling itself, and more Force Users are being created - mainly Rey (assuming she's not just Amnesiac)

Notice how I said skilled and knowledgeable - not powerful like Snoke and presumably Luke. Although I highly doubt that Luke will do any fighting in the ST.

The replacement of their elected officials, I can't say much on. As for their armed forces? I doubt all of them were in this Hosnian system. Though to make up for it? Well depending on how things turn out, there may be a possibility of them hiring the Mandalorians to act as their vanguard assuming they've had the resources to regain their "muh warrior culture" and arm themselves accordingly. But that's totally up in the fucking air.

>There will always be new threats. If not the Sith then someone else.

No doubt. But none will ever be as bad as the Sith. No one will ever be able to disrupt balance other than the Sith. Maybe the Jedi are necessary. Yes, there will be threats. Anakin's purpose was to restore balance. And HE DID. It's Luke and and Luke's successors to keep the force In balance. So far it isn't. And i doubt it will be out of balance again because, well, like you said, it's "return of the Jedi: the long edition".

Not that I don't agree with this, but honestly, for something like Star Wars, it probably would have been better not to adhere to closely to this rule. Especially in regards to the first film of the new Trilogy. Episode VII definitely leaves you wanting more, except more out of Episode VII rather than more in the form of the next movie. It's kind of why I haven't mustered the interest in seeing it a second or third time. There's very little to no intrigue or exposition to keep me hooked into what's going on

Either way, the ONLY SW game with a story that really got to me was KotOR II.

The First KotOR (besides the "twist" that everyone saw a mile away) was pretty cut and dry.

The Sequel was only better in terms of the dialogue and character development of the cast as well as the villains. The Planets were mostly a bore though.

It introduced concepts like Force Wounds, Residual Powers and Draining, and it expanded upon the morality of the mythos.

That's the same reason I like him.

Star Wars goes out of its way to make every villain sympathetic, even fucking Vader. And tha's fine, I'm ok with it, because the one character Lucas never touched was Sheev, because Lucas knew that what makes Sheev so fun is that he has no reason to be evil other than he just loves it.

In the modern day, this is quite a daring thing, no?

Even Snoke already has signs of a sympathetic backstory, and I think everyone here would agree that he is already uninteresting.

Signs? They literally point towards it in the Visual Dictionary, with JJ giving them direction that Snoke should look as if he were once the most beautiful person in the world before getting as fucked up as he did.

I can kind of level with it in that the First Order is full of pretenders and people so indoctrinated towards the Empire's way of doing things that they don't really understand the gravity of their blind, violent fanaticism, essentially turning ALL of the bad guys into brainwashed kids playing war.

You must be new to Star Wars. It's always been known that the folks opposing the Republic during the Clone Wars were referred to as the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

I disagree.

The Jabba scene is redundant and repeats exposition we already got in the Greedo scene (a scene written only to fill the gap since they couldn't fit the SFX for Jabba into their budget or schedule). Also reveals Jabba prematurely, and sticks Boba into the first movie rather than him showing up as a mysterious badass in Empire.

I know 'le Han shot first xD' is overplayed, but it really does just look dumb having Greedo shoot and Han dodge it.

Boba's original voice was way more badass.

Replacing the Emperor's hologram in V would be fine if they'd not used the III makeup and less ragged cloak.

Sebastian Shaw's Anakin makes way more sense since he redeemed himself before death. Putting Christensen there as he appeared in III doesn't make sense since he was definitely already on his path to the darkside after slaughtering the sand people in II. The people that claim Shaw would be too confusing to people watching in chronological order are autistic and can't draw associations themselves without having their hands held.

From that same link, a sample of what Chinese audiences think about it:
>If a science fiction film lacks imagination then what makes it different from a soap opera? The story was completely in service to fans of the original trilogy and it only relied on razzle-dazzle effects. The most laughable element is that all the force in the galaxy could belong to one family. Creating nostalgia while introducing a new conceptual story doesn’t have to conflict.
So yeah, they're seeing it from a much different perspective than American audiences who grew up with the franchise.

True. I however like it because it's got some of the most fun Han Solo dialogue in the franchise.

>Also reveals Jabba prematurely, and sticks Boba into the first movie rather than him showing up as a mysterious badass in Empire.
The Blu Rays are made in mind of watching the movies in Chronological order, in which we have already been introduced to the Hutt's, and Boba.

>I know 'le Han shot first xD' is overplayed, but it really does just look dumb having Greedo shoot and Han dodge it.
I will not disagree with this

>Boba's original voice was way more badass.
But I will disagree with this. Original Boba sounded way too tryhard, there's something satisfying with Temuera's voice. Check out his Battlefront lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssWwcrYgt_Q

>Replacing the Emperor's hologram in V would be fine if they'd not used the III makeup and less ragged cloak.
I don't mind. I kinda' wish they tried harder for a mid-way look, a combination of III and VI, but ehh, doesn't bother me.

>Sebastian Shaw's Anakin makes way more sense since he redeemed himself before death. Putting Christensen there as he appeared in III doesn't make sense since he was definitely already on his path to the darkside after slaughtering the sand people in II.
Gotta' completely disagree here man. Anakin never looked like Shaw as a Jedi, ever. The fact that Shaw had hair and limbs that never should have existed is a plot error in of itself.

Well yeah, Disney/Lucasfilm was banking heavily on nostalgia and "it's just like the OT!" as we've all seen. It paid off everywhere else though, so even if China doesn't love it and that's going to prevent TFA from topping Avatar worldwide, Disney is still making bank.

It probably won't work this well a second time though, since now that the hype is wearing off a lot of people are coming around to the "this was just aping the OT and didn't do anything new" viewpoint. Hopefully that means Disney will let Johnson be more imaginative with Episode 8.

That's all fair enough man, well reasoned counter-arguments. I think it really just comes down to which way someone thinks they should be watched - personally I think it's release order, as the prequels were kind of written with an audience that had seen the originals in mind (various call-backs, or call-forwards, that allude to the events of the OT).

If you prefer to watch them prequels-first, then the changes make a lot more sense.

I still disagree regarding Shaw, however:

>Anakin never looked like Shaw as a Jedi

He did look like Shaw in his final moments after saving his son, redeeming himself - I'd consider him a Jedi again at that point.

>Anakin never looked like Shaw as a Jedi, ever. The fact that Shaw had hair and limbs that never should have existed is a plot error in of itself.

I feel like if I can accept someone living on beyond death as a Force ghost, I can also accept that they might look different than they did in their physical form, taking on a new look which better reflects the positive aspects of their personality, ie. seeing Anakin as the warm father figure he never had the chance to be.

Regarding Sand People, it was still an act of violence in the name of vengeance, which is pretty damn dark side. Whether they had souls or not, he was doing it for the wrong reasons.

I'll give that video a watch in a moment, on my phone at the moment.

>I think it really just comes down to which way someone thinks they should be watched
100% true. The changes are much more "acceptable" if you're watching chronologically.

If you're watching release order, then seeing Boba in ANH is going to feel really out of place. Even more so if it's your first ever viewing of the movies.

As for Shaw, that is a very common argument, that he was a Jedi again in his final moments. One I can't really disagree with. All I can say is, with your arguement about being able to change how you look as a ghost, I could ask, why would you WANT to look like that? If the ghosts could change who they looked on their own accord, wouldn't they all choose to look young again?

And the thing is, I actually agree with that idea.

Someone mentioned a while ago how they could have a book or comic show that Force Ghosts can change appearance. You could explain that the only reason Obi-Wan stayed old was because it was how Luke knew him before he died, so he appeared to Luke as he did.

Then, you could show him de-age, and we could get Ewan McGregor to return as a Ghost to Rey or something.

But back to Episode 6, in the context of the movies alone, I think Anakin looking young is perfectly fine, especially if you watch chronologically. If you was to watch release order, it would be really out of place though...

Like I said, the Blu Rays were made in mind of the viewer watching Chronologically/having seen Star Wars before.

They were NOT made in mind of people who would be watching for the very first time in release order, because its frankly not how Lucas wanted it.
>>
>>78999063
I like this idea, but if I could tweak it, have Ahsoka damage his suit, kinda' like how Starkiller did in TFU. Make it so that his voice changer gets fucked, and THAT'S when you hear Lanters voice.

And yeah, I'd probably shed a tear.

>>
>>78999302
>why would you WANT to look like that? If the ghosts could change who they looked on their own accord, wouldn't they all choose to look young again?

I guess, though I just of meant that it's the will of the Force, that they're judged or whatever, or that their image is a visual representation of their standing in the Force at the time of their death.

It could also be the case of, like you said, they're shown the way the viewer remembers them - in Luke's case, an old Obi-Wan and Yoda, and the father her truly saw when he took off Vader's mask, looking past his physical deformity.
>>
>>78999391

Well, Maul is currently alive in canon.
He's the only one alive who knows how to use the Dark Side.
And he'd be very old in TFA.

I still wish Lucas hadn't thrown out all of Clone wars 2003's characterization of Grevious. I liked the slasher movie villian vibe he had, and keeping that at least would have made him less of a joke save for a handful of Eps.

I don't think Lucas ever intended Greivous to be like that to be honest.

His initial concept for Greivous was a cowardly coughing droid general.

And then the 2003 cartoon came along and made him a pro mlg jedi killer who only cowardly runs away coughing in literally the last 40 seconds of the show.
>>
>>78999492
Watching Grievous in Clone Wars, and then seeing Obi-Wan best him in the movie was really just kind of a let down. I mean I'd watched this guy take out, what was it in that one episode? Four? Five jedi masters? All at once? He was huge. He was an imposing character, and not just because he was big. In the movie he comes off as pretty much a typical mustache twirling villain.

>>78999550
I think Gendy felt that you couldn't have his general that commanded what was the largest army the galaxy had ever seen, basically being number two in the power hierarchy below Sheev and Dooku, and have him be a coward.
The chest crush, I think was Gendy's way of trying to have both visions work out, making Grievous in the movie a fallen villain. Still he did still do some pretty bad ass stuff while being a coward at the start of the movie.

I absolutely will not deny this. As much as I do accept Genndy's portrayal was simply inaccurate, seeing Greivous so quickly die in the movie was upsetting.

That being said, I've learned to love Greivous since then. He's still a badass, and he still gets shit done on multiple occasions during TCW.

And in Revenge of the Sith, well he is one of the best special effects, practical or otherwise, in the entire franchise. Maz Kanata hasn't got shit on this.

I know, just a mild rant. We didn't get that kind of stalker type villian often in Star Wars so it made an impression on me. Mostly juggernauts like Vader or scheming force nukes like Palpatine

We need one in canon. Maybe they'll bring Durge back or something.

I'm pretty sure the first 8 months (give or take) of the clone wars are a blank slate right now, so they could have a comic or something with Durge being the primary villain for that part of the war. Or they could come up with a new character, I dunno...

He really did and still does look great. The CGI scenery was often bad in the prequels, like the terrible Jedi temple hallway scene, but the CGI characters I've never understood the hate for. They looked good.

The saddest thing about Grevious though is that like many things in the prequels he is a great idea Lucas had but he's not fully exploited. Same way with Maul. They look interesting and when you see them the first time your thinking about all the cool things they might do and then they just die and your like oh... Okay.
>>
>>78999798
speaking as someone who's not seen much of TCW at all (the only episode I know for sure I saw all the way through was Ahsoka and that kid going to the Mandolorians on that snow planet, and maybe an episode where a bunch of clone troopers were stuck in a base, I think?) I can astill say that Grievous was pretty cool in the movie, his escape pod scene being ignored at least.

I don't even care about how the fight ended I actually really liked that he had to shoot him to death. Really my biggest problem with his final fight is that he's just so quickly rendered harmless by Obi-Wan. I was expecting a hard fought lightsaber fight between them. I mean in Attack of the Clones Obi-Wan is talked up by Anakin, and maybe it's admiration or maybe it's true, but I wanted to see the Jedi who was "as wise as Master Yoda and as powerful as Master Windu" in his prime fighting an almost insurmountable foe. Instead our lightsaber wielding cyborg general is quickly put on the run and seems to lack any idea for tactics at all.
>>

>my biggest problem with his final fight is that he's just so quickly rendered harmless by Obi-Wan.
That's my only problem with the fight, he lost his extra arms within like 20 seconds.

There's a lot of cool quad-arm action in TCW, but people expecting it in live action were left dissappointed.
>>
>>78999906

Durge would be cool, especially if they'll keep the insane backstory of his race. Or if they were smart they'd use Donnie Yen for such a character in the new trilogy.

At that point, no. Vader is too full of hate and anger. It's been said before but I also feel like the original's line after he is rejected by Luke does a great job of showing how, even after all these years, Vader can have trouble controlling his anger.

Television Directing and Movie directing are two different monsters altogether, at least with what he's doing now he has great control of his staff and resources and isn't beholden to the Hollywood elite that would push him and to do what they wanted. Filoni is better off where he is and not becoming ruled by the thumb of Hollywood.
>>
>>79000670
I agree with this. Filoni has a lot of freedom right now, and the Story Group have been happy to let him do his thing.

If there was one thing though, I would love him to tackle animated movies. Not like the TCW movie, which was just 4 early episodes slapped together, but an actual planned out Animated movie. He could do one or two a year alongside the cartoons. They could be from different era's too, allow him to mix things up.

Give it a netflix release so he can have more freedom for mature content too.

so one thing that i feel Anakin always did wrong was never talked to anyone. like sure there were some jedi who wouldn't have cottoned to that shit but like, there was straight up a point where Obi Wan offerend to talk to Anakin about feeling he suspected him to have for Padme, even relating his own experiences with Sabine! and like he could have talked and have been honest and Obi Wan wouldn't have condemned him! and like its not like there haven't been Jedi who lived outside the Code either!
no Anakin had problems and he had people to talk about them with but instead he decided he was tough and could shoulder them.
which lead to him cutting off Mace's arm and then the empire
i mean yeah Sheev contributed to that but hey Anakin fell on his own

Shouldn't they use someone else? 15 years and lung problems might make his voice different. Lanter was good for early 20s Anakin/Vader. Vader in Rebels is pushing 40. They'd need either an older actor or someone with a deeper tone. Not JEJ, deep, but deeper than Lanter.

I was shown the main movie summary article people were quoting. It was 30% right at best, and that's after giving half credit for things from trailers, but at full credit it's still only 50% right. There were a solid few random bits that were right but again, the large majority was some EU fans projecting of old stories.
The movie was supposed to have lukes lightsaber as the big plot device for the whole first half (fucking surviving re-entry onto Jakku, God that was retarded), but it didn't even show up until the halfway point in reality. That's a pretty big fuck up to get half the movie wrong. And there were no definitive "you are my (insert type of relative here)" moments either. Han or Leia doesn't say Rey is their daughter, nor is it definitively addressed. Only hinted at vaguely, and even then. But msw said it'd be said outright.
Msw was laughably wrong, and shit I got for saying how rediculous it seemed before TFA came out only made it more satisfying when I saw I was fucking right.
Jesus Christ, the fucking articles all have little banner saying they're based on rumors and hearsay, the msw folk themselves aren't even painting it as certain. You'd have to be a fucking autist to ignore ALL OF THIS and STILL think msw will be 100% right for eps 8 or 9.
It's downright pathetic. And the fact I'll probably get shit for this post only makes me want to laugh a little bit, because I know it'll be maybe a handful of butthurt msw faithfuls trying to silence criticism.
