His predecessors. The IG-86 model is a top-of-the-line enforcer droid, capable of posing a challenge even to Jedi. IG-88 was supposed to succeed it as an even smarter, tougher assassin droid. But, well, skynet happened.

>>79149752
I believe they are IG-86's

they are unlockable in Galaxy of Heroes too

>>79149770
I hope they don't do that in nucanon. It's much easier to just say IG-88 was in-production in the clone wars and then Holowan got liquidated by the Empire since they had been building Magnaguards and lancers for the separatists. IG-88 just happened to make it out of the company meltdown and became a bounty hunter.

I mean, still keep him a heartless killing machine that butchers meatbags for sport, but don't give him control of the death star or his own matrix planet.

Better watch what you say about Matt.

So after Episode 1, did the galaxy know that the Sith were back or did the Jedi keep it a secret? There was Padme and Death Watch, but was this common knowledge?

It wasn't that big of a fall.

>>79149927

>>79149875
They kept it secret until AotC, but Dooku never really downplayed his darkside powers, so news of Sith and Dark Jedi quickly spread throughout the galaxy, especially when Ventress, Maul, and Savage became more publicly visible entities.

>>79149875
not really
like the galaxy at large wont really react to "hey there are these two really bad guys out there!" and for the most part people don't distinguish other force uses from jedi
like you have to remember Sith were a threat to the republic was millennia ago. anyone who remembers them dosen't consider them a possibility.

I thought Dooku did keep his identity as a Sith a secret though?

I mean, he was a Jedi so people didn't bat an eye when he used the force, but only went full Sith when did shady things under Tyranus.

>I thought Dooku did keep his identity as a Sith a secret though?
More or less. The Jedi knew he was a Sith, though for the longest time they didn't know his Sith name. Apparently they also weren't really clear on where he stood within the Sith heirarchy: if he was working for Darth Sidious, if Darth Sidious even really existed, if Dooku was actually the Sith master and thus the master of Maul, or if Sidious and Dooku were both Sith Lords but not working together. When you throw Maul back into the mix, that just confused them even more.

>>79150022

Did they even know that there was a Darth Sidious until Sheev was outed?

Do you guys think the writers for Rebels will ever get a good idea of what to do with Sabine, or will she just show up the bare minimum needed to push her merch?

>>79150041
Yeah, they got his name and other data from Gunray's throne when he was captured back in TPM, but not enough to match chins and voices with the Chancellor. It's the reason why Yoda does that whole "or should I call you Darth Sidious?" line in their duel. Finally found the bastard.

>>79149972
scaly skin >>>> orange buttcheeks

>>79150041
Dooku told Obi-Wan that Darth Sidious existed, but the Jedi Council wasn't sure if that was true, a misdirection, or a blatant lie. The only one who had any inkling that Sidious was real was Yoda after his spirit quest, though it wasn't confirmed until Mace and his posse peeved the Sheev.

>>79150044

Sadly, it's looking like the later. She's perfect at everything and is one of the more level-headed and mature members of the crew, so there's nowhere she can develop to as a character, no easy way for her to grow. Maybe visiting Mandalore will change that, but they built her up too much on concept.

>>79150058
Not only is that EU, but they didn't get that information from Nute's chair until days before ROTS happened. The very first time they ever heard about Darth Sidious was from Dooku.

>>79150075
They forgot she needed flaws for there to be any real character development, and unlike Hera, who is fairly flawless herself, Sabine doesn't actually have a strong place in the plot either. You really could remove Sabine completely and the show wouldn't really change.

Why were the Episode 3 figures so much better than the EP 7 toys?

I remember i had a bunch of the ep3 figures (obi wan, windu, siduous, vader) as a little kid but they are lost in storage. The grievious figure was based in particular.

it seems al the toys have regressed

>>79150086
Probably better that way. Taking 12 years to extract chair data is pathetic. Maybe if their shitty analysis droids didn't just focus on symbols.

>it seems al the toys have regressed
Hasbro's started clearly separating toys meant for kids and toys meant for collectors. They realized kids will still buy the figures even if they're cheaply painted and have very little articulation, so that's why the main figures have regressed. Meanwhile, Hasbro also realized collectors will pay extra for a line aimed at them, so the Black Series has a 4" figure line (in addition to the main 6" figures) that are articulated just like they used to be... for twice the price of the regular cheap ones.

Not really, you can find most of the ROTS figures for pretty cheap on eBay. In a lot of cases you can get them for less than what they sold for in 2005.

>>79149984
I don't think he went out of his way to hide it, he just didn't use it as a political figure because his original name and title have political weight.

does anyone else want Leia to do some cool force shit in EP 8 or 9?

Like, maybe an assassination attempt that she thwarts with a force push when all seems lost?

that would be fucking cool. I also predict she's gonna be the only one of the main 3 to survive the new trilogy.

>if Dooku was actually the Sith master and thus the master of Maul

There's a great scene in Son of Dathomir where Mace Windu is talking to Chancellor Sheev, and he's all like "OMG, I've finally solved the mystery! Dooku is the Sith Lord! He trained Darth Maul! I know this on account of the fact that I saw them fighting together this one time!"

And ol' Sheev's reaction is basically, "Dooku and Maul working together? You don't say."

>>79150198
>>79150198
really?

thanks man. i miss those figures. Theres a lot of nostalgia in there.

>>79150219
I want her to use force powers, yes. Nothing overly fancy. I don't want her hopping around like Sheev or something. Just some minor mind tricks, force pushes, that sort of thing. Just enough to know she can use the force but never really bothered to develop it much.

>>79150219
She's got no training with the Force. She understands and recognizes the sensations and feelings like when Han dies, but that's it, she can't use it to do anything because she chose not to learn it. Also, she'll probably die in the next one.

I'm going to be so pissed when Luke dies. Old canon Luke was a fucking unstoppable force god. This Luke will probably die to Kylo Ren who will then get killed by Rey, who somehow is now stronger than Luke ever was, or something stupid like that.

>>79150275
Rey wasn't trained either. Maybe Leia will listen to the force just like rey did. Its not very farfetched. Especially when Kylo inherited his skills and aptitude through her.

>>79150264
>implying they never got separated from the main battle and proceed to hatefuck.

I bet Luke will end up being double teamed by snoke and a fully trained kylo.

Nah, Luke's too much of a fan favorite to be just executed by that. Han's more than enough. Any more and it'd just be an obnoxious pull for the feels.

>>79150321
J.J. Abrams already gave a pretty definitive answer on this. Leia refused to undergo training because she didn't really want anything to do with it and instead focused on politics and the military. Sure, maybe she could manage some minor telekinetic shit or a Force push if she really tried, but she won't.

>>79150361
Ford said he would only be in another Star Wars movie if he died. Thats why he died.

>>79150304
>>79150339
I'd prefer Luke make it out alive through the trilogy, but doesn't remain to overshadow the new cast like he did in the EU. Especially because it would fuck over the Obi-Wan stereotype hard.

Have Luke help defeat the First Order, then just sort of leave Rey the keys to the plot and just fuck off to be a hermit elsewhere.

>>79150288
I can honestly see her either being killed by Snoke, which would possibly cause Kylo Ren to lose it and destroy his master, or maybe she'll kamikaze a capital ship into a First Order flagship or base as a final fuck you in a losing battle.

>>79150364
>Leia refused to become the one of the strongest psychokinetic warrior she was destined to be in case of failure.

Her loss. Hopefully Luke taught her a few things that she finds useful.

>>79150364
oh, thats pretty cool too though. maybe she used her force sensitivity to be a more aware general. i just like to think that leia user her innate abilities to be a very competent general.

but then if she does all these thing without truly using the force she seems more impressive. i dunno.

>>79150357
>Poe has a droid fetish.
>Both Hux and Poe have an irrational fear of women who look like Alicia Vikander.

>>79150379
how do you get rid of him though? if he becomes involved he's either too op, or not.

if he decides to fuck off like obi wan, he'll look bad.

>>79150420
>poe is a really good dancer

make it happen disney

>>79150379
It would be really hard to get Luke involved directly in the plot without him ending up dead. At this point, he has decades of time learning the force, and he was canonically super powerful just at the end of Episode 6.

If he trains Rey but refuses to participate any further, it will feel like a cop out, and also be kind of annoying since finding Luke seemed like such a big fucking deal to EVERYONE in the movie. I mean, whats the point of him getting found if hes adamant about just staying out of things?

But if he gets involved, balancing his contributions without overshadowing the rest of the cast is going to be a monumental task I doubt anyone at Disney is capable of handling.

>>79150421
Unless he's not at all as OP as everyone expects him to be. I really want Luke to be a fun hippie full of wisdom. Everyone's so hype that he's going to explode mountains with his mind and shit, but I'd love it if he's not really much more powerful than he was in RotJ.

Plus, he already fucked off like obiwan. Can't get much worse than a bunch of Sith fanboys butchering innocent people just to find a map to your hideout.

>>79150346

Gleeson is a pretty legit young actor and I hope there's more Hux in VIII.

>>79150441
>But if he gets involved, balancing his contributions without overshadowing the rest of the cast is going to be a monumental task I doubt anyone at Disney is capable of handling.

see thats why i think he has to be overwhelmed by numbers/outgunned. if he takes on multiple powerful darkside users at the same time he can look powerful whilst still fight a losing battle.

>>79150453
RotJ he was canon one of the strongest Jedi ever.

>>79150453
It wouldn't be too hard to have him have one scene directly involving him with the plot (maybe something with Snoke to actually get some backstory for that fucker?) but yeah, it'd be great to just see him be a hippie teaching Rey the ways of a space hermit.

Oh, and the Force too I guess.

>>79150479
How does that work out though? Do we get an entire stable of Rens next movie that just overwhelm him? If so, who deals with THEM? Are they going to get split up and have each main character deal with one on their own? I mean, it would be kind of weird.

>>79150379

My dream ending is for Luke to be at the head of a restored Jedi Order as grand master with Rey and whatever other force sensitives as its founding members.

I don't want him to get offed heroically, I want him to build that bright new age we were promised in Episode VI.

>>79150482
And that's fine. I just don't want him to show up and start colliding Star Destroyers into each other while Snoke cries digital tears of anguish.
>>79150479
Or play him as a trickster. Have him fuck with the FO without even visibly using the force.

>>79150496
idk, i think a fully realized kylo plus snoke can do the job while still not belittlinh his GOAT jedi status.

i'd rather the rest of the knights of ren take on finn and poe somehow.

If Ren gets redeemed I'm going to be legit pissed off.

>>79150642
Han died for that very outcome anon, that's why he helped his son do it. It is inevitable, he obviously isn't evil.

>>79150642

I can already see the exchange between Rey and Luke where she wants revenge and he tells her about how revenge isn't the Jedi way.

Luke forgave his dad for killing Obi-wan, it's going to be pottery.

>>79150663
Han died to cement Ren as fully going Dark Side. Its literally his entire story arc in the movie. If he gets redeemed its basically going to be a giant middle finger to the entire thing.

>>79150663
>he obviously isn't evil
Leia please go, that line of thinking got your husband killed.

>>79150642
Same. It's too fucking cliche, even for Star Wars. Kylo needs to die a monster. But I'd certainly love to see him kill Snoke and takeover the First Order. Would also be a nice change from the Vaderbitch/masterSheev dynamic of the past 6 movies.

>>79150686
>If he gets redeemed its basically going to be a giant middle finger to the entire thing.
Considering the movies general plot was a giant middle finger to the originals Disney will probably do it

>>79150556
I just wish that they gave him more to do since he looked exactly how I pictured Bill when I read the books.

Luke has no business dying until he successfully trains multiple jedi to knighthood. Not just Rey. Multiple Jedi.

>>79150686

I legitimately think that killing Han didn't cement anything (like Snack told him it would) and that he's going to be wrestling with the guilt in VIII.

>>79150686
It doesn't count as an arc when everything but the climax violates "show don't tell"

Just say subplot

>>79150736
Its his own personal character arc.

Spends the entire movie fretting about how hes terrified hes not capable of going full darkside, then he kills Han to finally make the jump.

Thats literally the point of everything "Character development" related about his character.

>>79150686
Welp, you would have a coronary if you read the novelization then, because it confirms the opposite. He kills Han thinking if will finally make him fully dark side and instead of anger and strength, be feels immense sadness, regret, and weaker. He will be redeemed and you can fully expect him struggling with it in the next film.

>>79150686
Ignoring the verbal statements (poor writing), his actions said he was dark side through and through with nothing to temper it

Actions speak louder than words

>>79150752

Yes, that is the arc but there is no indication that killing Han accomplished what Ren thought he would.

Instead of cutting himself off from his old self it is entirely likely the anguish he was feeling has worsened with guilt.

>>79150754
Kind of silly that they do something with the books that they completely failed to translate into the film.

>>79150752
>>79150754
>>79150768
If that was the intention maybe they should have given him actual scenes of ambivalence or mercy/compassion. etc. instead of him just whining about it.

>>79150686
He will use a forbidden force technique to split off his light side half into a separate being, like kami from dragon ball

>>79150786
>whining

>>79150773
The movie's full of moments where the intent isn't properly conveyed.

>>79150787
Would be hilarious.

>Rey don't kill me I didn't do all that bad shit, my dark side did

He should also be the one to kill evil him once and for all.

>>79150786
There wasn't a single scene in the film or book of him whining. Try again. Also, they did show that side of him, not the film's fault you couldn't catch on. He ignored what Finn did at the village despite knowing he didn't shoot because he felt his struggle and confusion and it reminded of himself. He also didn't kill that officer who told him about BB-8 escaping Jakku. He was also 100% genuine in his scene with Han, he didn't even want to do it but he thought he had no other choice.

>>79150787
The ending would be better if a cloned Anakin was there beside Luke, with a Force ghost Anakin beside them. Say the Empire cloned him and Luke rescued him years ago.

He could be like Char in Zeta Gundam,

>>79150831
Also, dark side Kylo should be in black face to help the casual viewer tell the two apart.

I hate star wars. I wish there was a way to ban this shit out of /co/

>>79150861
These Kylo apologists are making me physically ill.

>>79150868
>He could be like Char in Zeta Gundam,

Char wasn't in Zeta Gundam though? I think you have him confused with Quattro.

>>79150876
Kylo should get his face burned in the next film for more pottery.

>>79150891
Well, he did take a saber to it.

>>79150876
Why not just make him melt like Sheev?

I wonder what becomes of Luke and Leia's cousins in the new canon.

>>79150868
The twist is clone Anakin has little Force ability besides super piloting skills, since he's a clone. Or he refuses to hold a saber because of what happened last time.

>>79150441
Maybe he trains Rey, then goes off on his own. Then in the climatic battle at the end of episode IX, suddenly bam a bunch of Jedi that Luke was training offscreen show up to throw down with the Knights of Ren.

>>79150903
Because Vader was burned.

When does the first episode of the rest of the Rebels season start?

Really excited to see Rian Johnson display his pottery skills desu lads.

Sith do have the best pajamas.

There's something I'm unsure of.

During the Clone Wars when Palpatine was living a double life as High Chancellor and secretive Sith Lord mastermind, was there anybody who allied with him on the dark side who knew that he was playing the role of the kind humble chancellor of the Republic? I have to imagine he kept that a secret from them, so such info couldn't be used against him and I don't think the Separatists would've appreciated a Sith helping the Republic (even when Palpatine made subtle moves in an attempt to sabotage Jedi missions)

No, everybody knew except the republic. Palpatine's plan only worked because the entire galaxy was fucking retarded.

It's one big reason why I dislike the political/Palpatine moments of the clone wars so much.

So can we bury this "CGI don't age well lel, Practical effects do" bullshit? The effects in the OT don't hold up because they were practical, it's because they had been doing practical effects for decades at that point and were released a few years before the film industry began experimenting with cgi.

Return of the Jedi only has practical effects that sort hold up because practical effects started to get phased out just a decade later.

>>79151815
I agree. Lucas's CGI doesn't age well because it sucked.

>>79151234
Apparently it's part of the "child ruler" tradition that used to be practiced on Earth. And in some cases still is when reincarnation is believed to be in play.

I don't want to say a child is considered purer, since that has creepy connotations especially here, but ... less cluttered? Able to see the world without all the bullcrap you have acquired by the time you are an adult. It's the whole "a child shall lead them" bit. I think some of the ancient Britons practiced it, ah it's been too long since the topic has come up.

At any rate Padme wasn't standard as we've seen the other queens are older. She was just really acceptable in debate class after her all night cramming sessions with Clovis no, not really, that came later. Probably her future handmaidens and body double for causing maximum premature firepower in Anakin's pants when Padme was telling him.

>>79151815
They used less CGI than most people think. A lot less, actually. But it was using modern cimemotography and digital effects (though what was cutting edge at the turn of the century doesn't hold up as well today).

For instance, compare the digital effects and CGI replacements in TFA compared to the Prequels. It's all still ILM, the effects company Lucas founded to do his on-screen wizardry. The current use is far more sophisticated and refined than it was in 1999-2005, and even then you can track how their effects improved with each movie.

>>79151723

Just the Sith knew.

As in, Maul and Dooku.

>>79151815
There are plenty of practical effects that look phenomenal, and plenty that look like shit.

There are plenty of CGI effects that look phenomenal, and plenty that look like shit.

Anybody who strongly disagrees with this is kidding themselves, and if you let either matte paintings or CGI backdrops ruin your immersion, you should probably just find a new hobby. Star Wars is a fantasy series, just let yourself believe whatever it is you're seeing like a child would. Puppets are no less convincing than CGI aliens IMO. At least when both are done well. Which in Star Wars, they almost always are, because Star Wars always pushed top of the industry special effects.

>The effects in the OT hold up

Nice meme. Try to watch OT in a good resolution someday, anon. Poor effects in many scenes with not-real-landscapes (i.e. Bespin shaft, some Death Star interiors) or starship/vehicle models (i.e. Hoth assault sequence) are quite fucking glaring. So is the fact that, say, Chewbacca's face is a rubber mask with a very limited range of motions.

If you apply the same standards to both trilogies, OT would probably end up having more more moments where you spot realism failure without having a commentary that explains to you where SFX are.

>>79151815
Are you honestly suggesting the rubber masks, matte paintings, obvious puppetry and fake backdrops looks "better" than modern CGI?

I understand you're holding on to nostalgia but dont kid yourself into thinking the OT holds up. It's extremely outdated 70's/80's technology. The entire Courscant chase in AOTC looks more realistic than any scene from the OT. Ask any person over 50 about modern technology. They'll mostly agree CGI looks better than what they grew up on.

Modern technology is capable of amazing things. There are many movies that incorporate CGI and you never even notice it.

To be fair him heading off to thrash Maul and bro didn't take very long at all, he probably just said he needed the evening off because he was feeling tired or something. The rest of his plotting we see was also mostly just hooded holo-messages ordering his minions to keep the ball rolling. He probably did most of the actual legwork, like firing up the clone cookers, years before he was such a public figure.

Kawaiilo Ren

Reading this comic makes me realize something about Luke and why he kid struggled so much with the Force.

He really did have too much Uncle Owen in him.

As much as the vocal minority hates Rey she grew up on her own with stories. She was still very much like a kid in so many ways. Chomping away at her meals like a kid, licking her plate clean, wearing an old pilot helmet and dreaming of getting the hell off of Jakku. Hell, even the way she slides down dunes. She has the stories of the Jedi, believes they are stories until some old guy says they're all true. She believes him. She has no concept of what her limitations might be.

Ezra was on his way to becoming that. Again, no parents, left to his own. He lived like a street rat without a formal education, did what he pleased, and managed to flourish. When he sees what Kanan can do he tries to emulate it. If it weren't for the awkward teenage boy qualities getting in his way... But at least he's gotten a lot better.

Luke, however, had Uncle Owen grilling a harsh style of reality in Luke's head, verbally beating the dreamer out of the boy. Luke struggles to reach out to something greater, something intangible and wonderful. Even after he sees what Yoda can do he can't believe it.

>>79149732
From what lightsaber form does Sheev's patented "its treason then" spin originate?

>>79155063
Form Eight, Sheevo.
It focuses on using retarded spins to stupefy enemies into just standing around and letting you stab them.
Maul uses it on Qui-Gon as well.

>>79150072
Attempted to peeve the Sheev, attempted.

They did not succeed.

>>79151674
Only through comfy clothes can you fully feel the embrace of the dark side

>>79150256
That and trying not to reveal how turned on he was when Anakin fought Dooku.

>>79155038
Good post, anon. I never liked Uncle Owen.

>>79155063

Its probably a derivative of Form IV: Ataru, the Way of the Hawk-Bat.

>>79151666
My friend saw Sheev take off his shirt in the shower. He's got an 8 pack, he's shredded.

>>79155242
Sheev pls stop trying to entrap young boys

>>79155228
Well he did what he could but he was as far from a Jedi as could be, and wanted Luke as far from it as possible. You get that line in the OT when Obi-Wan tells Luke, "That's your Uncle talking." While Luke has a lot of Anakin he also wound up with a lot of Uncle Owen.

One of the reasons the Jedi like to start training so young. Get to people before they have any notions of what is possible or impossible. Plus it helps to fully indoctrinate them into the Jedi philosophy. Oh, and keeps them from any outside attachments for the most part.

>>79150146
I kind of sort of collect the 6-inch Black Series, and I would definitely buy more, but they make truly odd choices about characters (the alien X-Wing pilot from TFA...who dies? Constable Zuvio, who isn't in the movie?) to produce and never make more of the really popular ones (Darth Maul now goes for $200 at the lowest on Amazon) or explore the new EU.

Is it still canon that Sheev is a master of all forms? Also why didn't he use his second lightsaber v Mace or Yoda?

What form does Yoda use?

>>79156309
Like how TPM got that CGI Yoda? I agree actually. It would be nice for them to get touched up a little

>>79156413
8.5 hours

>>79156387

Nothing can be said just yet about Sheev knowing all forms, but Yoda being the Grand Master of the Jedi Order, should be able to know all forms. Thats why their lighsaber duel in the senate was so close.

>Also why didn't he use his second lightsaber v Mace or Yoda?

This is only speculative, but when the need arises, he only keeps a one lightsaber on his person and two for full out sheeving(as in the case for Maul and Savage). One was lost during the fight with Mace. He probably still has the other one though.

>>79156447
We should do "touch ups" to the Prequels and add extra scenes, and more updated CGI!

only then will they understand our pain.

not that guy, but castrati have their balls cut off. They still have their dicks.

I like it. Its original release date had it so soon after Guardians of the Galaxy 2 that it was kind of ridiculous.

>>79159566
What if they add an asian Twi'Lek? YES, PLEASE!

Sorry.

>>79159552
>Every Star Wars had always been released in may for the summer movie season because they knew that the movies were just shitty blockbuster hopefuls
>Now they're released for award season.

No.

What

>>79159566
Finn gets a sex and race change to go undercover.

His sudden change has left him feeling very strange when Poe-sempai opens the door.

>>79159595
How can a Twi'lek be asian?

>>79159473
Could be a good thing. The script they threw away had new main characters for some reason, I've heard. And Rian rewrites it right now with more focus on Rey and Poe.

>>79159566
>The lesson the Chinese took from Star Wars is that democracy doesn't work and that the Empire was right.

>The rewrite the script so the heroes abandon the dream of having a republic and embrace totalitarianism.

THANKS CHINA

My mind drifts to the backup singer for the Max Reebo Band in RotJ for some reason...

>and adding an asian girl to the main cast
Wasn't this something that was known before TFA even premiered?

Also holy shit what, I know this girl

>>79159566
What's the source you got that from? I can't find the site that says that?

>>79159552
>It would be awesome if watching Star Wars became a Christmas tradition!

I wouldn't mind this at all

>>79159640
How can anybody be an Asian?

>>79159566
>>79159629

The source didn't mean just Rey and Poe.

What they said was that they were making the roles of two new characters smaller in order to have the focus be more on the characters we got to know in the first film like Rey, Poe, and probably Finn. They are also replacing the old two new characters role with a role for an Asian actress as.

>>79159566
Who cares?

Disney already proved their going to destroy Star Wars like Marvel. This industry will be dead in the next 30 years at this rate.

>>79159720
What's the source itself?

>>79159699
Dug around a little and found this. I can keep looking for more if you like

>they're going to destroy star wars

Lucas already did that though. three times. in a row.

>>79159733
But Marvel movies are better than the comic books right now

>>79159699
So it seems like the quote is a little out of context

>I said before there were two young female roles, now I actually heard that the rewrite will make these roles smaller. They want to get to know better the characters they already have. So the new rewrite is shrinking the new roles in order to spend more time with Rey, Poe and so on.

Basically, there's an Asian girl who was being added to the main cast, but they're rewriting the script and reducing her role to spend more time with Rey and Poe "and so on," which may or may not include Finn.

also they just wanna make December Star Wars month I'm guessing

>>79159586
No balls? Ew. Gay.

>>79159816
It worked for TFA, and they probably realized they can keep summer for the Marvel movies.

Future generations will celebrate Life Day instead of Christmas, I swear.

>>79159787
Tumblr's gonna have a field day with this...

Fugg, Finn was my favorite character. Are they seriously going to pander to the Chinese Audience? Will it actually help?

>Asian
Could it be Jessica Henwick getting a bigger role? I'm cool with this. She'll be like if Wedge was an asian qt.

>little Timmy, what do you want for Christmas
>I wanna see the Star Wars movie

>>79159852
Nah, the writers a woman so they can't complain about it.

>>79159864
>will it help

Yes. China is the new America in terms of "hit the right notes and make bank."

>>79159874
nope, because she's obviously white without her helmet

>>79159852
Will they be happy about a new female character, or angry that her (and possibly Finn's) roles are being reduced?

Ehh, I think we already know the answer, Tumblr can never be happy about anything.

>>79159864
China is huge, if they think they can squeeze a few extra million out of them by adding asian actors, I have no doubt they will.

They did the same thing with the recent Marvel movies, although I remember it backfired hilariously.
