>Hey, I want to watch this show, but I haven't seen "The Clone Wars"
That's ok. "The Clone Wars" isn't entirely important, but there are multiple characters, and other things from the show that are being carried over to this one, so it is worth your time watching.

>Is "The Clone Wars" any good?
For the most part, yes. There's a few lame episodes, but it's generally fantastic. You see Anakin as a war hero, the Clones get some much needed personality updates, the rise of Boba Fett, the return of Darth Maul, and a lot more. Attatched is a guide that showcases the highlights of the series.

>So should I follow the guide, and skip the other episodes?
Completely up to you, but I would personally recommend you don't skip any episodes, not even the Jar Jar ones. You'd be missing a lot of much needed character development, and the occasional fanservice ala' Filoni.

>I heard about the episodes being out of chronological order?
It's not necessary to do this, but you can follow this guide instead of watching it in release order: http://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-the-clone-wars-chronological-episodeorder

>Wait, what about Season 6?
Season 6, also referred to as "The Lost Missions", is an extra 12 episodes. Just watch them all.

>Anything else?
There's an extra 4 episodes in the form of Story Reels here, set on Utapau, and oddly ties very closely into a "Rebels" subplot: http://www.starwars.com/tv-shows/the-clone-wars-legacy

There's also a comic following Darth Maul set after the episode "The Lawless", titled "Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir" that you will wanna' check out, and a currently unreleased Novel about Ventress called "Dark Disciple".

Lastly, we've been told we're getting some "Bad Batch" news soon, meaning something to do with Captain Rex and ARC-Trooper Fives, so keep a look out for that.

Enjoy!

>>70610957
Something I really liked about his and Kanan's fights was the fact that they showed you they were getting more evenly matched with every fight, and that Inky saying Kanan's been improving isn't just banter.

it wasn't just repeated curbstomps with kanan using the power of friendship in the final fight to utterly reverse it, you could see him adapting with every clash. They even foreshadowed his idea of using the blaster/saber combo

when does the next UK Rebels magazine come out? The Rebels comics in them aren't anything special but i've been trying to collect them when people storytime them anyway for the sake of canon.

also does anyone have blade squadron? ive read Last Call at the Zero Angle and One Thousand Levels Down here before but never saw anyone post that one

>>70611416
Yes, you could see Kanan starting to get back his Jedi training. He was becoming more sure of himself and his abilities.

I have just learned that the EU had a Jedi Master character named "Soon Bayts"

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Soon_Bayts

Jedi Master Bayts. Thank you EU.

Is it wrong that I was practically jumping out of my chair when they had Vader come out in the last few seconds. Dude has been my favorite villain of any franchise since I first watched the OT under the age of ten

>>70612311
>less about villain/husbando circlejerking
Where do you think we are?
Seriously though, what else are we going to talk about? Right now there is nothing going on at the moment. We could talk about the Empire did everything wrong.

>that article length

>Stradley had initially planned to use the name as a practical joke on Comic Editor at Lucas Licensing Sue Rostoni, who would often put the word "Master" in front of any Jedi's name. Stradley created Bayts as an unimportant tertiary character simply to play a joke on Rostoni, but the character made it through to publication.[4]

>Perhaps due to the nature of Soon Bayts' name, references to him outside Jedi Council: Acts of War and Star Wars: Obsession have been virtually non-existent

Only wookiepedia would bang on so much about an obvious joke character

>>70613039
Well, that saves them from doing actual work on canon articles I suppose.

>>70612576
no because i did the same

Possible spoilers ahead: the first thirty shots of TFA

>>70613076
have they stopped getting triggered yet, or is there still work to be done?

>>70613039
At least they're not writing more articles on banals subjects like water.

>>70613245
No. Their butthurt has left damn near every canon article a stub.

>>70613260
or chairs.

Also the Genre of music played by the Cantina band and the Max Rebo Band is known as "jizz"

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jizz

And they are known as Jizz Wailers.

I bet Master Bayts was a big fan.

>>70613186
Interesting.

So maybe the theory that Luke started the Order but it was destroyed again is true.

>>70613290
I fucking hope this is retconned to "jazz". Somehow, Wookieepedia spergs would still defend jizz.

>>70613283
Or flatulence and rape - oh wait, that's the Doctor Who wiki.

>>70613406

Well Jizz Wailer is from the ROTJ novelization. just "Jizz" is from a "Tales from the Mos Esley Cantina" which was an anthology book from the mid 90s.

One thing I hated about the EU (which is what Wookiepedia is bloated with) was how they'd go ahead and make intricate backstories to random characters that appear for a few seconds tops.

Like the ugly guy and his buddy who start shit with Luke in the cantina, I'd always assumed they were just your typical drunken self-styled tough guys who just liked to pretend they were master criminals/murderers when they'd probably just earned their scars from other bar fights, but surprise surprise some guy went and made a wanky backstory where one of them is an evil surgeon and they meet Luke again.

You know Quinlan Vos owes his existence to someone seeing this totally random background dude sitting on a chair in Episode I and going "THAT GUY LOOKS COOL, IMA MAKE HIM A JEDI". I think that is one of the more extreme examples of that.

>>70612390
It's a hero/waifu though :^) Also the only circlejerking I did was between me and Togrutafag about whether the Mortis vision or the Rebels version of adult Ahsoka was better, not "man Star Wars would sure have been better if my favorite bad guy won" like the last thread. I don't mind some of that, but it's not cool when that's the whole thread

>>70612743
I like the cut of your jib

>>70613494
I think your non-canon fan model is not very good, but I respect your opinion.

>>70613490
>>70613352
>>70613290
I think it might also be in the ANH novelization, and I know it's in the Dorling Kindersley Star Wars Visual Dictionary from the early 90s.

>>70613878
I think the most extreme one is that guy who got one line of dialogue in ANH, saying that holding Leia is dangerous due to promoting sympathy.

That got mutated into him being Vader's right hand man due to being willing to be a Devil's advocate

Oh yeah, theres a ton of comic stores that ship comics.

Try Forbidden Planet. Just know that, along with the postage/packaging, the price may be steep.

What I actually recommend instead is waiting a few months, and buying the Graphic Novel instead, much better value for money than ordering individual comics online.

It was more humorous given WHAT they created - and which then killed them all and destroyed the base. And apparently they built torture protocol droids, too, ones with a craving for tasty blood. Seems like his major flaw is that he has a habit of going straight to lethal, which is a fairly major flaw in a torturer.

At any rate there is kill and then there is overkill and yet again there is OVERKILL. With a side order of flaming droid crotch sockets. If you wanted an assassin droid you could have an astromech with a needle equipped with neurotoxin (maybe even install a little chemical factory for making it's own tailor toxins), any of the dangerous critters we've seen like the ones sent to murder Padme in AOTCs, or release clouds of micro/nano droid swarms which we know can be weaponized. Hell a mouse droid with the equivalent of a brick of C4, zip up to it's target and then ka-boom.

But noooo, this is a TARKIN Initiative so anything less than enough dakka to take out a moon is just not that interesting.

>>70615418

Sadly no, it's a custom model. The Micro Machines version is the only Nebulon B that ever had a toy form, except possibly the impossible to find Titanium Collection errata that came about after ROTS.

Tarkin saw surveillance tapes of Chopper in action and knew if he could replicate him he would be even more powerful then the Emperor himself.

What does this have to do with the Prequels?
Don't these people have better things to talk about in terms of Star Wars, instead of just talking about something you hate. We do a better job about talking about Star Wars during our hiatuses, with all the husbando/waifu talk and trolling than they do during peak Star Wars activity.

>>70616383

Oh trust me, though find ways. On /r/StarWars most people like the prequels, but almost anywhere else there's a bunch of haters who find any opportunity to hate on them

>>70616425
Someone explained why a few threads back, but on websites like Youtube, Reddit, ect, everybody is looking for people to echo their opinions, vote them up, ect. The only way to do this is to parrot the same shit over and over and over and over and over again, so even 18 years later, people talking about Star Wars on Reddit will still destroy any hope of an interesting conversation, by bringing up Jar Jar and generic prequel hate, for the sake of seeming like the most intelligent person in the room.

It's why for a lot of us, this thread is generally the best place to talk about Star Wars, because we, you know, ACTUALLY talk about Star Wars. Because we're mostly anonymous and care more about interesting discussions than trying to earn upvotes by criticizing the prequels.

If 4chan wasn't (mostly) anonymous, you would be able to spot the Redditfag a mile a way, because they would come to the thread and the first thing they would do is try to win over some popularity by talking about how great the OT is compared to the Prequels.

The Prequels had some shit moments and yes there were tons of missed opportunities, and certainly they could have been better ... and it was when TCWs came out. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the setting or characters or even the plot elements, the movies just came together as a bit of a mess.

It is an echo chamber, that's why I can't stand going to Star Wars forums and haven't been going to them in years, there is too much follow the leader/cult mentality to it and you can't discuss anything with civility unless you talk about what the "Leaders" tell you to. Sheev forbid you actually want to talk about anything that has to do with the Prequels.

Anon, asking which Star Wars song is the best is so hard for me because the entire Saga has some of the best music ever made in my opinion.

Every single movie features some musical masterpieces

The Clone Wars and Rebels has had some great stuff too, despite not being John Williams.

Can we assume that the "Technical" stuff about planets from the EU, such as number of moons, climate and those sort of things are still canon?

>>70616997
Not 100% confirmed, but I mean, a lot of stuff about planets and vehicles and stuff is being re-canonized without any changes, so yeah, they're probably not going to change much about that stuff, as it isn't story-centric.

Only the batshit retarded EU stuff is staying non-canon really.

>>70616924
>too much follow the leader/cult mentality to it and you can't discuss anything with civility unless you talk about what the "Leaders" tell you to

That's one of the reasons I like this website, despite it's own (many and varied) problems. No offense to some of our namefriends but we always did good by having the vast majority of posts anonymous. You focus on the content of the message, not who it comes from - not that it guarantees any civility or thoughtful response. It does seem to help a bit, though.

>>70617057
Yeah, that is good. Sure, some story EU stuff sucks that its gone but if that means that Yuuzhan vong or whatever their name is and other batshit retarded stuff is also gone - Then nice. I do wonder though if the Vong will ever be introduced in some shape.

>>70616997
No. Several planets are wildly different from their Legends selves
Examples:

Ryloth isn't tidally locked
Mandalore's entire surface is a white, endless desert.

There is a new reference book coming out in September, dunno what it'll include though.

>>70616997
Not really. For example Nar Shaddaa hasn't shown up despite Nal Hutta making an appearance or three.

Hell most of the species technically don't have names for the moment.

>>70616864
That's a good one. I think most of my favorite Star Wars music comes from the Prequels, although I'll always love the Emperor's theme and Luke watching the sun's set.

>>70616997
It's safer not to assume anything, sorry to say, but most of the technical stuff so far seems to be what they are recanonizing. Not always, but a lot of the "fluff" details are showing up.

There's a new technical guide coming out later this year. Something like that, anyway. "Everything you need to know about Star Wars" or whatever. Part of their Journey to TFA.

>>70617116
Yub Nub was okay, but the newer song feels much more fitting.

>>70617142
Actually I think it's mentioned in Star Wars: Commander

>>70617124
Mandalore's entire surface isn't white in the "new" canon though. Either way, i will wait for a more offical statement than your words.

>>70617116
Yub Nub is so underwhelming though. It's fun, I guess, but the first time I finished he saga and the new song played, I found myself overwhelmed with emotion, the way I should be after watching the saga.

>>70617168
Hm perhaps i was wrong, it is apparently all white. Either way, dno if i like that change.

Likely, yes. It's called Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know

Here's the publisher summary

>Star Wars®: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know explores the world of Star Wars through lively lists, interesting facts, and questions and answers via a highly engaging infographic design. Whether it's a chart of who is the oldest Jedi, a list of all the owners of the Millennium Falcon, or a diagram showing all the Jedi Yoda has trained, this guide will excite readers of all ages and provide facts they never knew about the Star Wars Galaxy.

>>70617445
Definitely buying this...

>>70617445
Have they confirmed it will be new canon?

Because there are still a few legends books getting put out like the Imperial handbook last month.

>>70617445
Alright, nice.
Found this btw. http://viewcomic.com/star-wars-v3-001-2015/
It only have that first comic though, the rest of them aren't there. Anyone know if there is a place i can read the new comics online in good quality?

>>70617504
The Win-O thread?

I don't get why people worship the 2003 Clone Wars so much, like whenever i see Clone Wars brought up on a bunch of parts of the Net I see people go on about how much better the Genndy Clone Wars was and going on about how "kiddy" the CG Clone Wars is.

How is it better? I rewatched it recently and it was good and entertaining but beyond looking very beautiful and having impressive action pieces there's really not much substance to it. There's almost no plot until the time skip and even then Anakin is really the only character who gets much interesting characterization.

>>70617546
Hm i can have a look. Didn't find anything though when i searched there a few hours earlier.

>>70617502
Yes. It's part of the "Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens"

>>70617564

Nostalgia, anon, its a powerful and painful force.

>>70617564
The people who prefer the 2003 one are EU fags dude, that's about the best explanation I got. They don't care about continuity or substance, they just want colorful shit and explosions, and characters to act like gods,

>>70617660

I don't know, the first season of TCW is kinda meh but at least I typically know why the fuck things are happening. The whole first half of the 2003 Clone Wars is basically a string of unrelated action scenes starring a random Jedi each time, with the throughline of Ventress chasing Anakin. The second half actually does have a story to it.

>>70617761
>Gr8 b8 m8
Now you're being nostalgic if you think that TCW the movie and the first season were any better than CW.

>>70617564
Fan IS short for fanatic.

They really don't compare, in my view, because they weren't meant to be the same thing. The 2003 series were shorts, meant to keep up interest in the time between movies, introduce some concepts, and maybe show off a bit since they weren't ever actually going to show the actual damn war, just the first battle and the last couple of battles. And of course introduce Grievous. It was more of an animated advertisement, but the people working on it tried not to make it cheap, and I mean cheap as in the bullshit that was the Star Wars Holiday Special. It's certainly left a lasting impression for some people.

TCWs, however, was intended and designed to flesh out the war and play a supporting role to the films by firming up and in some places plugging holes in some of it's weaker construction. It gave us some decent performances with decent character development, something the Prequels were sorely lacking for certain characters.

>>70617761
Also, not from the movies, I liked these from the KotOR games

Well she found the armour in old Jedi ruins, she might of found the crystals and parts in a familiar fashion.

>>70618018
>familiar fashion
I meant similar.

>>70617964
She stole from an Ancient Jedi temple, thus cementing that the new Aesthetic for the Old Republic was that they were all Space Samurai.

The white sabers are considered old and Rare. Ahsoka probably has the only ones left in the Galaxy, and Filoni says she uses them for this reason, as it helps people understand that's she's not an actual Jedi, as she left the order.

>>70617761
>Gr8 b8 m8
I'm not a big fan of the Genndywars. A lot of the supposed awesome art was incredibly stupid, like the launching of hundreds of fighters and LAATs at the same time in the opening videos.

That said, there is also a reason why the viewing guide tells people that the movie is really only important for introducing Ahsoka, which could be iffy too. /co/ took a LOT of work warming up to Ahsoka. It's amazing how well liked the character generally was by the end. I honestly think the "orange buttcheeks" thing helped around here, it's just that kind of website, but really as a character she was a lot better.

I don't know, though. The Genndywars had plenty of stupid stuff. Ghost Hand was boring and frankly felt out of place, Windu's SUPER PUNCHES and taking out an entire army single handedly was too over-the-top. And of course while yes certain people liked it Grievous was WAY too much. I think they toned him down a bit from his first appearance wiping out an entire Jedi team, including several Masters, which was ridiculous given we saw Dooku complaining about his sloppy techniques later on and disarming him. Dooku is no slouch, of course, Grievous versus multiple Masters?

Magnaguards were pretty op, too, but then they tended to be in the games too. They were definitely toned down a bit, on par with their movie version.

>>70618009
The Leia comics actually confirmed 100% that Chewie doesn't get a medal.

Rebel scum.

>>70618121
Maybe he still did off panel

and ate it. Never know with Wookiees.

My favorite Star Wars songs (one from each movie):

The Phantom Menace - Trade Federation March

Attack of the Clones - Zam the Assassin/Coruscant Chase

Revenge of the Sith - Padme's Funeral

A New Hope - Ben's Death/Tie Fighter Attack (anyone who says this isn't their favorite is lying)

Empire Strikes Back - The Rebel Fleet/End Title

Return of the Jedi - Battle of Endor Part 1

I like how the Leia comic also confirmed that the Yavin Rebels aren't the only Rebels in the galaxy.

Honestly, I'm just loving the direction Star Wars is going now. It feels more like "Star Wars" to me than the EU ever has. I like the whole "Space Samurai Jedi and Sith" idea brought forward by Filoni with Darth Bane and Ahsoka. I like the fact that the Rebel Alliance is a lot larger that what we see in the movies. It's just all so fresh and interesting.

What I really like about the direction things are going with ancient stuff is that it looks a lot less stereotypically boring Japanese but a lot more South and Southeast Asian. Darth Bane's design reeks of Dravidian and Siamese aesthetic in the best possible way

>>70618297
Not just Filoni, Lucas originally came up with the idea of the space samurai. Hell, that was the original idea for the prequels, but I guess he realized that it was too close to the OT to make sense.

And I agree, everything feels so much better, it makes sense, and feels Star Wars.

>>70613914
I liked it. It was nice seeing snippets of Vader wandering the galaxy murdering various people. Including a Toydarian. A Toydarian who was a connection to a woman who deals in reactivating droids.

Almost certainly not Watto but hell it could be. Watto dealt with droids but let's face it he was ridiculously small time.

Loved the Indiana Jones elements, good to see people still use SBDs, and I actually liked Aphra more than I thought I would. Her excited geeking out over her work was an interesting contrast to her suddenly huddling up at the end, a very "oh shit" posture as she basically runs out of excuses for her brain to avoid focusing on the fact that she's got a notorious Imperial butcher in her ship and is unlikely to survive the encounter once he gets what he wants.

This leads to Vader's seeming out of place activity. Usually he's very take charge, right up to choking Jabba to speed "negotiations" along. Here, though, he puts up with Aphra basically tell him him whatever he's interested in will wait until she's done with her current work. And he LETS her. It does make sense if you assume he's curious about her work and wants to see her in operation before deciding she's the right person for the job, and he certainly profits from acquiring some new murder droids. And they're holdovers from Tarkin's expansive projects, so I'm sure he appreciates that in his own way.

Aphra really does seem like she's doomed, though, given what Vader is doing is so far off the books he'll murder anyone to cover his tracks - and did just that to Tagge's minion. Granted that guy was specifically and openly spying on Vader for the Empire, and plus Vader has already hired Boba Fett and a Wookiee to hunt down Luke. We know Fett at least survives and still works for Vader down the road. Still seems like the more she learns the more likely she is to receive the traditional lightsaber through the back payment for services rendered. Depends on how useful she is, I suppose.

>>70618491
Me too. I'd also like to see a cartoon or series of books bridging The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones

>>70618618
Do you think Revan will be made canon in the future?

>>70618633
Probably not the same Revan from KotOR/KotOR 2, but I think it's at least possible.

>>70618277
>A New Hope - Ben's Death/Tie Fighter Attack (anyone who says this isn't their favorite is lying)
I could never decide between Luke staring at the twin suns, the ceremony at the end and the jaunty tune when the jawas show up. I completely forgot about the song when Ben dies in the mean time.

>>70618633
I do for sure. Filoni and Lucas were going to have in in TCW, but couldn't work it into the episodes and have it make sense.

But that tells us at the very least, they like Revan, and are willing to do it if it makes sense.

Plus, the character is insanely popular. Even if they didn't like KotOR they'd find a way to reference him, or make him canon (with a different story), just because it will print money.

Revan will return in some shape or form soon.

They've been trying for a while now, it's really only a matter of finding the right way to sneak him in. I suppose the most logical way would be if they explain what Ahsoka found in her exploration of ancient Jedi temples. Not a bad way to sneak in ancient Jedi/Sith, just not sure they'd want to do it.

Hell it all depends on how they use Ahsoka. Is she just using ancient tools that match her old training, or has she sought out some old truths of the Force, something the last Order had forgotten?

>>70618708
It's less about the part where Ben dies and more about the part in the Falcon where Luke and Han man the guns and fight off TIE fighters

>>70618618
If we can get the Bro Adventures of Obi Wan and Anakin in the Outer Rim, I'll be happy.

>>70618633
There'll probably be a name drop, but nothing more substantial.
Though I will be happy if the Story Group retcons TOR and just makes him a legend of the past, like Bane. Maybe they find his ancient Robes, which are pretty much the only unique looking part of KOTOR, aesthetics wise.
Him in his armour adopting the Ochs guard against a group of Jedi is the most memorable part of the game, in my opinion.
He looked like he gave nary a single fuck, and was only interrupted from handing them their asses by Malak.

I agree.

Also, they don't need to retcon SWTOR since it isn't canon anyways. I see what you're trying to say though.

If there is a battle between Vader and Ahsoka that results in her death, 2 things will happen. I will die from happiness from the perfection of it, and Tumblr SW fans will implode since they praise Ahsoka as a god since she is a female lead

>>70618821
Revan is the classic Old Republic Jedi turned Sith turned Jedi again - probably. Based on what they were going to use him for in Mortis he and Bane would have been manipulating the Son so almost certain Revan couldn't have gone good or at least went bad again?

Anyway given this thematic similarity to Anakin/Vader I can see no reason why they'd withhold it. It would be easier for Ahsoka to draw on Revan as a parallel to how easily or how far Jedi can fall when describing what Vader is (if not who).

I'm kinda' hoping that she's going to grow on Vader, almost becoming some kind of Batman & Robin duo, only for it to end with her reminding him too much of Padme, he snaps, murders her, and then we can enjoy Tumblrs butthurt reactions.

>>70619100
I think he means for the former, that it's pretty much the most fitting end to her character, not that he's looking forward to her actual death.

And tumblr shitting the bed is always hilarious. They're like EU fans dialed up to 11 when they throw a fit.

>>70619160
That is exactly what I meant. Ahsoka has to die since she isn't in any of the OT. So it damn better be by the hands of Vader while Ezra has to watch

why does everybody want every female character in the new canon to die

I'm not entirely opposed to a girl character dying but tons of people in these threads practically fetishize their hopes for Sabine, Hera, Maketh Tua, Ahsoka to get brutally and pointlessly massacred, and now Aphra and Evaan from the comics, and even hopes for Leia dying in TFA. /tv/ not even once I'm just sick of hearing people begging for Star Wars to be turned into Snuff Wars

>>70619228

>>70619160
This.

I love Ahsoka, but I don't want her to be some unkillable Mary Sue. She's the ex-apprentice to Darth fucking Vader, there's no way I am going to believe that she is alive during and/or after the OT.

Filoni need's to kill her, and bring me to tears. Not because I want he to die, but because it's the tragic and most fitting end to her story.

Some characters just have to die for their story to be told. Vader is one of them. I believe Ahsoka is another, and it has to happen on Rebels.

Hell, even George said he wanted her to die, before TCW ended.

>>70619239
Out of all of the new female characters, I wants Ahsoka and Aphra to die, because I feel like it would be best for their characters, and for the development of the characters who interact with them.

The others can live though, I don't really care about the genders of characters, just that some have to die.

I'd like to see a reverse Luke situation when she confronts Vader.
At first, he's uncertain (or at least not 100% committed) about severing what he believes to be his last tie with his former life, allowing her to escape the inevitable defeat. When they meet again, he's lost all reservations.

>>70619268
>Filoni need's to kill her, and bring me to tears. Not because I want he to die, but because it's the tragic and most fitting end to her story.
This, I've liked Filoni so far but if he doesn't give Ahsoka a fitting end I think I'll lose all respect for the guy.

>>70619239

If the plot demands it and the story need someone dying to progress, I'm all for it be it Luke, Han, Kanan or Sabine.

>Ahsoka has to die since she isn't in the OT
>there's no way I am going to believe that she is alive during and/or after the OT.

I hear this every single time someone argues for character deaths, and its completely groundless and ridiculous. The same thing about "character development." It's the laziest and most clichéd tactic in modern fiction to kill off a character as a substitute for emotional emphasis than actually taking time to flesh them out. Need I remind the supposed fans of Star Wars, that the only major protagonist "deaths" of the OT were Obi-Wan, Yoda, Anakin, and Han Solo, of which only one was killed, and all of which came back anyway.

I really don't want to argue this for the umpteenth time because I've been trying to refute these exact same arguments for the past twenty or thirty threads since Fire Across the Galaxy. Kill Ahsoka, sure, but make it meaningful, don't ape Obi-Wan's sacrifice and don't make it a guro anime.

>>70619580
Ahsoka has been fleshed out though, arguably more than any character in the entire franchise.

Her story is done.

Jedi Padawan to the chosen one, lost her trust, left the Order, but then helped start the Rebellion that goes on to defeat her ex-master.

That's it. She's learned her lessons, and it looks like she's about to be passing a few of them on. But that's it, there's nothing left for her character. There's no happily ever after for her.

And I dont think any of us are trying to say it should be over the top violent for the sake of it. I want her death to be meaningful, perhaps even pivotal for the success of the Rebellion.

But anon, you DO want her to die, because you cannot fathom that the creators could possibly concoct a well written scenario in which the character survives. To you, any outcome in which Ahsoka lives, is simply not good enough for you.

Where are you getting the idea that Happy endings belong in the Star wars universe? I love ahsoka as a character, but I would sell a bone marrow right now to see her get cut down mercilessly by Vader in front of Ezra, tempting him with rage and the dark side.

>>70619778
I disagree, I dont believe every character should die. But I think that some characters should, for the sake of having a tragic story, and developing the characters involved.

Ahsoka just happens to be one of these characters that I strongly believe should die to be able to tell the best story imaginable.

Besides, the move to keep her alive until Rebels is great, because if you're arguing about keeping her alive for the sake of character development, well there's a 15 year timegap for just that.

I can accept her dying, what makes me mad is the defeatist droning about it being inevitable and unavoidable. That right there is 95% of the reason the EU after ROTJ was garbage. The other 5% being Mofferences and Skippy the Jedi Droid.

>>70619994
It's not inevitable or unavoidable, even Filoni has made that clear with his interpretation about Yoda's "Last of the Jedi" speech. (In fact, Filoni doesn't even consider Ahsoka a Jedi, so...)

What we're saying is that it SHOULD happen. Our opinions of course, but I sand by it.

George thought so too, if that means anything. Some characters die, plain and simple, and I believe that some great character development from Kanan and Ezra, and a great story can be told, from her death. A far more fitting one than if she survives.

Happy ending? Sure. But that implies that Ahsoka's death would be the ending. That doesnt make any sense. What does make sense is her death propels the story foward, same as the death of the entire planet of Alderaan. Star wars may have happy endings, but during the adventure, its harrowing to the core.

You're making the classic blunder.

Never once was the main thought "is this a fitting end to their character?" or "how would other characters adapt and evolve from it?"
It was just

>She plays off Vader's ever-prevalent silence and she seems to be an empathetic character while still being shady.
YES! Not her, but Vader's silences were VERY well used in this issue, saying more, and better, than they could with words anyway. Especially that significant "look" his immobile mask gives when she mentions Geonosis. Often what he doesn't say is more powerful than what he does.

For her, well, she's got to be a woman after his own heart in a weird way given her love of tinkering with droids. Give this and her general adventurous nature, and apparent tendency to play more by her own rules than anyone elses... I think Aphra has the kind of personality Anakin would have loved in his own daughter.

But Vader? Yeah she'll be lucky if she survives.

About him using those codes to unlock the droid. I wonder if that was his knack with droids showing, some deft use of the Force, or if he happens to know a lot about anything that Tarkin was up to, especially the black projects.

Who knows. I gave up trying to figure this shit out when people were complaining that only male characters died in season 1 of rebels and we needed gender equality.

I don't care about the gender of characters who die, and can't see why that's anyone's focus. I just want it to make sense storywise. And regrettably, especially since they weren't going to die originally, Aresko and Grint made sense for establishing Tarkin's cred (Tua is a civilian administrator and thus less impact on the rank and file over executing military personnel) and, though I wish it was otherwise, Inky's suicide.

>>70620724
now you mention it, that does seem a bit odd. I suppose their fairly abrasive natures mean that their lack of dialogue is more indicative of them being comfortable around each other, as opposed to having nothing to say.

I wonder what they're doing with Leia in Episode VII. I think it would be a shame if she never learned to use the Force, it's her birthright after all, but I can understand when people don't want to see her wearing robes and whipping out a saber.

On the other hand while I'd also love to see her follow her mother's and adoptive father's path, is it too much of a cheat? Imagine Padme or Bail with the ability to wave their hand and say, "You need to go home and rethink this Senate appropriations bill."

Is it just an interesting pattern that fits her theme as a lady who digs up and restores droids? Is it possible it's a cybernetic arm? Or - wilder - what if she's a droid herself? One of those rare humanoid models like Guri. Because we've had two other droids introduced so far whose theme is blending in: a torture/murder protocol droid and astromech War Machine.

We know they can cover cybernetics in realistic and reactive synthetic flesh, so what are the odds one of these Tarkin Initiatives wouldn't create hot asian skinjob cylon infiltrator babes? It's been done before...

I've heard this argument made before and it has some basis on reality.

Cities require importation of food since they do not have sufficient agriculture on their own. This actually is very cost effective for cities. I imagine this is on a larger scale with Star Wars. You could have entire planets devoted to agriculture (lke EU Reytha) and whose to say the food in star wars isnt processed clone food which could be manufactured in factories?

Coruscant in Star Wars is literally and explicitly based on Trantor in the Isaac Asimov Foundation novels. And in those books it's specifically spelled out that it takes about 20 different agricultural worlds constantly shipping massive amounts of food to Trantor to keep most of its massive population from starving.

It's also mentioned in later books that they use yeast-based production on Trantor itself to supplement imported food, but ultimately, cutting off shipping for even a short time would result in billions of deaths.

I'm new here. What were peoples theories about Ahsoka's fate before Fire Across the Galaxy??? Did most people think she was wiped out by order 66? Also I'm watching Revenge of the Sith right now after watching TCW, and it's really sad. I'm seeing so many great Jedi struck down. Systematically, so many greats fall.

>>70624261
I think most of us agreed she survived because she was too important to have an on screen death.

Dont think any of us predicted she would have anything to do with the Rebellion though, not until Rebels was announced and people figured Filoni would bring her in.

Once "Fulcrum" became apparent, almost everyone figured it was her.

>>70624414
were there clues?

>>70624449
yeah, the voice and the mark on the crates.

>>70624261
It was pretty obvious she was Fulcrum to most of us. Prior to knowing of Fulcrum however we assumed she was alive and would make an appearance at some point in the series.

>>70624370
I would rather say Dooku was badly utilized in the movies. For how much they built him up in AOTCs they just tossed him aside in ROTS.

Oh and him falling to Vader has some ironic lulz, I suppose.

>>70624449
The mark on the crate Hera and Sabine picked up and the alterations done to Fulcrum's disguised voice.

Admittedly the marking doesn't exactly match TCWs Ahsoka but it does match her Rebels version.

>>70624448
*Off-screen death, excuse me.

>>70624449
Togrutan symbols on the crates, and people edited the voice and it sounded like Ashley Eckstein.

Funnily enough, Filoni admitted that most of Fulcrums lines weren't even done by Ashley. Just a girl who sounded close enough that people assumed it was her.

And they ended up being right that it was Ahsoka by coincidence.

>>70624398
I think there are very fair odds she does't die in Rebels either. I suspect Filoni will use a similar route of leaving her ultimate fate unknown.

Kanan MIGHT die, Ezra I'm absolutely certain will not.

>>70624449
A few, but mostly the reasoning was that the mystery of Fulcrum likely meant their identity was someone noteworthy and probably meant to be a surprise. That leaves a very small number of candidates.

>>70624449
It could have been anybody really, but a bunch of autismals un-modulated the voice clips until it sounded like Ashley Eckstein, and the retarded French VA tweeted "fulcrum is ahsoka" like 3 weeks before it showed, otherwise there were no real clues, even false evidence to the contrary, that it was Ahsoka, or anybody really. Could have been Bail, Asajj, Mon Mothma, Rex, Gallm bel Trayvblis, Leia et cetera or someone completely new

I didn't quite get that. It's true that the first voice sounded like it might have been Sabine's VA, however I thought they only used other voices after they realized fans had "decoded" the first.

I could be wrong, and easily, but that's just how I understood the issue.

>>70624550

>everybody assumed Kanan would die
I never understood why, he's part of the main cast. Like was that just Inkyfags praying for a miracle. "Here's your mentor Ezr- OOPS HE'S DEAD."

>Trayvis becomes Garm Bel Iblis
...Why? If Bel Iblis needs to be here just introduce him instead of turning an existing characted into him for no reason.

Darth Vader just showed up, and you expect nobody to die? That's some huge optimism on your part.

Yeah the crates were pretty sketchy evidence. There were people who swore it matched exactly, which of course it didn't - if you considered TCWs model. Of course Torgrutan markings change with age.

I think it was clear to people, especially with the evidence mounting, but we still talked about other characters it might be or characters we'd prefer instead. I rather liked the "fulcrum is a shared codename rather than a single person" theory. Ah well, it's nice to see Pulp Free Vitamin C back in our lives.

Because character development, recanonization of legends material, and because their names sound similar

Characters eyes turn yellow when they become consumed with the dark side.

He started killing people and screaming and getting angry and mad, and his eyes started to change.

The whole Obi-Wan mentor thingy from ANH and the show was aiming for ANH feel. Someone thought he had to die. That was before they announced a comic about him and there were still doubts until after Fire Across the Galaxy.

They seem to be avoiding using him. He wasn't in Episode III and so far no material even hints at his existence.
