Updated Canon Guide.

+Added the newly announced YA Series
+Added the Obi-Wan & Anakin Comic
+Minor fixes and Layout Changes
+Added text briefly explaining Battlefronts canonicity.

Currently working on the Timeline. At the request of a few anons, I am updating it so that the summaries are more in-depth. Will take a while.

The OP link to the guides has been updated too.

>only canon video games are mobile shit

When are we getting a proper RPG

I'd give massive sums of money for a Clone Wars RPG made by Bioware.

>>77367521
>Force Unleashed game where you play as Ahsoka after TCW

>>77367521
Well I have some news for you anon, Bioware is currently working on an untitled Star Wars game. We don't know the Era though.

>>77367521
KOTOR era Bioware I'd agree with but current Bioware... eh.

>>77367521
Given their recent track record, I'd pay just as much to make sure they're nowhere near it.

>>77367575
DAI wasn't that bad, just sort of underwhelming.

>>77367558
Plus an Action/Adventure game by Visceral Games that's being called the "spiritual successor" to 1313, if that interests anybody.

does ANYONE have Insider 161 or the short story Inbrief yet?

>>77367661
That does sound interesting.

>>77367716
Obviously not since no one has said so every time you ask.

>>77367769

>>77367950

It's getting pretty tiring.

Aside from Vader's onslaught in S2E1, the plot armor's been way too thick.

>>77367474
Why is Clone Wars not canon?

>>77367995
Replaced by the better 3D version.

>>77368021
Its not a contest, they compliment each other well.

>>77368021
Do they conflict? I didn't watch either but I believe Tartakovsky can do no wrong.

>>77367950
The Rebel victories are getting a little rediculous.

Aside from Kanan being captured in Season 1, and Vader wrecking shit in Siege of Lothal, the Empire has jobbed every single time.

I know WHY this is happening, but the writers need to try harder to make the Empire a genuine threat. The OT also suffered from this, the Empire only really feeling like a threat in Episode 5 because Hoth set them up to be a threat.

We need something on the scale of Hoth to remind us that the Ghost Crew aren't safe.

>>77367995
Because it contradicts Canon, and was way over-the-top in what the characters could do. (Windu taking on a field of Super Battle Droids bare handed, Greivous defeating a group of Jedi Masters, ect.)

A lot of the stories were replaced in the 3D Cartoon anyway, the Battle of Mon Calamari to name but one.

>>77368045
Yeah they do

>>77368044
Not really. There's some cool stuff in the 2D one sure, and we see Anakin get knighted, but this is nothing that isn't going to happen in the new comics and books anyway.

>>77367474
>Boba and Jango aren't Mandalorians

What? Is Sabine not one either?

>>77367987
Yeah, definitely. I know the Imps aren't supposed to succeed overall, but they have to win a few skirmishes every now and again, at least once or twice. They have to be shown as a threat.

>>77368046
> Greivous defeating a group of Jedi Masters

That will always be canon in my head. That episode is just too incredible.

>>77368045
>but I believe Tartakovsky can do no wrong.
Problem identified

>>77368075
Sabine is.

Jango is from Concord Dawn, and Boba is just his Clone son, born on Kamino. According to George Lucas and Dave Filoni, neither were ever intended to be Mandalorian. They just took Mandalorian armor. (Presumably after killing them)

>>77368100
Incredible, but ridiculous. You see Greivous in Episode 3 and TCW, and he is good, sure, a bonafied Jedi Killer. But able to do what he did in the 2D cartoon? No fucking way.

>>77368107
>Jango is from Concord Dawn
We got cannon confirmation on that?

>>77368064
I'd rather watch Genddy's exciting cartoon than some decompressed marvel comic.

>>77368075
What, no, Sabine is definitely Mandalorian. We're getting some Mando stories with Sabine in the forefront soon in Rebels.

>>77368107
I thought Concord Dawn was a Mandalorian moon?

>>77368046
>people still think Windu going ham like that actually literally happened
there's a reason the fucking kid was there
shit I would think 4chan of all places would know how implying works

>>77368169
You're thinking of Concordia. Concord Dawn was always a frontier world on the fringes of Mandalorian space, only sometimes a part of the Mandalorian empire depending on how much they expanded at different points in history. By the time of TCW, the pacifists reduced Mandalorian territory to just their system, so Concord Dawn was just like any other Republic world at the time, only with a little Mando culture. Hence why Jango and Rako Hardeen seem very Mandoish and are fanboys for the culture.

>>77368136
Yes, Ultimate Star Wars, starwars.com, ect.

>>77368169
Nope. That's Concordia. Concord Dawn has no association to Mandalore in Canon.

>>77368148
Then do so? Nobody is stopping you from watching that cartoon. Just saying it got replaced (and will continue to be replaced) by canon stories instead. Hell, I suspect that upcoming Obi-Wan/Anakin comic may even be the new story about Anakin getting Knighted.

>>77368206
There's a bunch more things that were ridiculous in that show. And your whole "kid retelling an exaggerated story" theory isn't explicit in the show at all. (although I like it, don't get me wrong)

>>77368211
>By the time of TCW, the pacifists reduced Mandalorian territory to just their system, so Concord Dawn was just like any other Republic world at the time, only with a little Mando culture. Hence why Jango and Rako Hardeen seem very Mandoish and are fanboys for the culture

Huh, that's actually a really cool touch. I like that a lot. Keeps Death Watch kinda special too since they think themselves "true" Mandalorians.

>>77368211
You explained it spot on.

>>77368046

A good amount of the fights in the 3D series can be Tartakovsky tier. For example in "The Zillo Beast", Anakin just runs up the side of the titular monster like he were in some anime. And the lightsaber fights with Anakin can get very aerodynamic. This passes on even onto Star Wars Rebels with the Inquisitor and Kanan performing nigh-improbable acrobatic feats.

>>77368128

If there's one gripe about the new canon, its about General Grievous and sliding-scale of competence. He's supposedly this jedi killing machine, when he only just kills one in the entire cartoon. Then the new Kanan comic goes on to tell that he virtually destroyed a Jedi Master's army, but its never shown to us. And then the film only lets us see his lightsaber collection as evidence for his brutality.

>>77368250
I don't recall there being anything as over-the-top as the Windu episode. One could argue Grievous schooling the masters but look at it this way. Up until now the Jedi of the clone era have done nothing but fight random criminal scum on occasion and fairly predictable battle droids. Then all of a sudden a reincarnation of Space Gilgamesh with an extremely unorthodox fighting style trained by canonically one of the greatest duelists in the known universe literally bursts through a hole in wall. You're not gonna be ready for that shit.

>>77368269
Yeah, they handled Grievous with a lot of tell don't show, but I've grown to greatly prefer canon Grievous to epic Tartakovsky Grievous. He's such a nefarious loser, I love it.

>>77368269

Exactly. I only admire Grievous because of his 2D TCW appearance. Everywhere else he's all bark no bite.

>>77368315
Well, it looked like they tried to back up a bit in Season 2 when the Magnaguards backed him up more and Shaak Ti was ready for most of his tricks this time. Except for the four-arms thing.

>>77368046
>Because it contradicts Canon

Okay, thanks guys.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqvkarUF8xs

>>77368340
That's how he works, and I kinda like it. He gets a bunch of kills in the early war because Jedi literally don't know how to react to a four-armed murder machine. He usually tries to get by more on element of surprise and sometimes being genuinely cunning than pure skill (even though he's still a marked competent fighter in his own right still being Space Gilgamesh and all).

>>77368269
I agree about Greivous. We contantly get told how dangerous he is, but we're only shown twice. Once when he kills that Jedi, and once when he let the attack on Dathomir.

Oh, and if it means anything, he also defeats Vos in Dark Disciple, and Talzin in Son of Dathomir (while slaughtering dozens of Clones and holding his own against Maul)

We need a comic showing him in the first year of the war. We know he killed at least four Jedi there, we need to see it.

However I completely disagree about "the fights in the 3D series can be Tartakovsky tier.". TCW seemed to have a very focused and balanced view on the abilities and limitations of the Jedi, whereas the 2D series often had them jumping around like ninjas and acting like gods.

>>77368330
But Greivous's entire character comes from TCW/EP3 though. Even his damn accent!

All he was in the 2D cartoon was a near-mute flashy Jedi Killer. I mean, if that's your thing, sure, but that really was not Greivous at all.

>>77368401
Yooooooooooooo......

>>77368409
One thing I noticed is that Jedi tend to grow more badass by the moment when they're dueling each other. Like they start developing this focused Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon action buildup with other lightsaber wielding opponents. But against normal people in fistfights or shootouts, they fight with barely superhuman capabilities. I don't know if it's intentional, but it's neat if that's how it actually works - you get more powerful while channeling the Force with your opponent.

Doesnt say anything about Jango here. does anyone have proof?

>>77367125

>I dont believe Anyone should have to pay for anyone elses education

Too bad. Might be te only actual instance where a rising tide DOES lift all boats.

If everyone in a society is smarter, the whole society benefits.

But that is because, unlike finance / economics, knowledge is an unlimited resource, so it is unnecessry to have to compete for it.
Of course, you wouldnt know that bsed on our over-privatized higher educational system, buuuuut....

Here, lets bring Star Wars in: privatized eduction is Naboo under the Trade Federation, but before the invasion, and what education should be is a combintion of the Jedi order / younglings and Tattoine moisture farmers (education not contingent on ability to pay, free for all in a vast space to accumulte as much s you can / wnt with no central governing body-– except more like Jedi order because education is not scarce like moisture)

>>77367661
What else has Visceral done?

>>77368409
>a near-mute flashy Jedi Killer

And that's what made him cool. He was vicious, you actual feared for the Jedi.

That chase sequence with Shaak Ti is simply amazing.

>>77368211
As someone who loved Haden Blackman's Jango Fett: Open Seasons comic, this is an explanation I love.

Even in that now-legends comic, Concord Dawn wasn't portrayed as a highly militarized Mandalorian planet, anyway. The Mandalorians just happened to be there when Jango was a child and he was adopted by them.

I'm holding out that hopefully they change their minds and make Boba and Jango canonically Mando again, but in all honesty I'd be fine if they didn't.

I'm of the mind that ultimately it doesn't matter or affect the greater Star Wars continuity/universe if Boba or Jango are or are not Mando. Either way it affect nothing.

>>77368596
Dead Space and Battlefield Hardline I believe.

A long time ago, I read about the early development stages of The Clone Wars cartoon. I believe it came from one of the art books, but Dave Filoni talked about what it would have been about. Here's what I remember:

>The cartoon would have focused on Ahsoka and Plo-Koon, and their adventures during the war.
>Other non-force users would be on the ship with them.
>Anakin and Obi-Wan were only going to be guest characters that showed occasionally.
>Clones would be around, but probably little to no episodes based or centered around them.

I remember this, and when Rebels came out, it definitely seems like the show Dave originally planned for years ago.

>>77368571
Not a source exactly, but Rako Hardeen uses Ralph McQuarrie style Boba concept armor, and comes from Concord Dawn, which was supposed to be a reference to Jango Fett for obvious reasons.

>>77368614
My favourite scene from that show in fact, but again, that character is simply not Greivous in anything but name. Do you see what I am saying? They're completely different characters.

>>77368648

Thank god we got what we ended up with.

Much, much better than a show focused on specific characters.
TCW feels much more like an anthology, like the old DH comics, than a strict cartoon series, and that is how I prefer.

>>77368648
Rebels very much feels like the show Dave always wanted to do, which is odd because TCW is the one that is widely praised by fans and probably what he will be remembered for most of all, unless Rebels seriously picks up.

Eh, doesn't do it for me anymore. I need my Grievous to cough and wheeze while hatching sinister schemes doomed to fail and letting his droids soften his victims up for him while he twirls his mustache.

>>77368595
Look mate, we had /soc/ last thread. This isn't the place to discuss this, this is for Star Wars. This is a new thread, lets not bring in the old.

>>77368706
The problem I have with dastardly Greivous is that he looks far too fucking cool and badass.

>>77368648
It works better this way. The OT was about a bunch of misfits going on adventures bumping into these near mythological people.

The PT centred around the mythological people and events of the Clone Wars.

Rebels and The Clone Wars fit with each of their respective trilogies.

>>77368642
Neither of those is exactly an action/adventure game. I was hoping they'd be the Uncharted guys or something. Dead Space was fun I guess.

>>77368723
>problem
wait, that sounds like a good thing

>>77368738
It just doesn't fit his character.

He looks like the monstrous Jedi killer of Genndywar but acts like a moustache twirling villain.

It confuses and angers me.

You know /co/, I'm going to miss these threads. It'll be all hell breaking loose when The Force Awakens finally gets into theaters.

>>77369010
If you don't understand it, it was 2deep4u. It really was

>>77368765
He's both, and arguably it works better. Lucas likely never intended for Grievous to actually stand up to Jedi 1 to 1. In fact given he didn't even want cortosis blades and the like to block lightsabers because he wanted lightsabers to remain visually distinct (in other words he didn't argue such swords do not exist, he just didn't want them represented in visual media outside of the games; he was fine with other saber blocking weapons).

The thing is past Grievous' first Genndy curb stomp battle they actually toned him down a tad. Dooku emphasized where he was lacking and stressed his tactics have to be about compromising the Jedi before he confronts. In other words there was never supposed to be a "mundane" way to become the equal or even greater than a Force user even using cybernetics. Lucas certainly had no problem with Jedi running into obstacles they couldn't easily overcome even with the Force, like Droideka shields, but with Grievous it was always about "cheating". It's built right into him with his four arms, his enhanced strength and multitude of other onboard gadgets. And, of course, utilizing droids to soften his targets up first. Even in his first appearance Grievous only showed up in person after the droid army had overwhelmed the Jedi's clone forces and hounded them relentlessly, leaving them physically exhausted, wounded, and under great mental and emotional strain.

>>77369023
Yep. This place has already been victim to more shitposting as of late. TFA is going to turn this thread into a warzone.

Depends on who survived the initial purge and hasn't been hunted down by Vader yet. Don't think Yoda or Obi-Wan will show up, in person at least, though.

I'm rewatching Clone Wars after getting up to date with Rebels, and jesus fucking christ.

Since the new canon is so afraid of deviating from the former canon, it's a guarantee that he's still a Muun.

>>77368925
He had a cool design and his action figures sold really well, so they figured people really like him and pushed him in the marketing to take advantage of his popularity. So he kept getting more and more popular.

>>77371702
There's no need to change a lot of the broad strokes pre-The Phantom Menace. Things like Darth Plagueis still works besides a few inconsistencies.

The real stupidity lies in the timeline, not the series of events.

Disney have the ability to redefine the events into a more coherent timeline. This is what they should do for pre-The Phantom Menace.

>>77368615

Well in the old-EU Boba didn't becoem an actual Mandalorian until just before the Vong war, when Shysa made him Mandalore as a dying wish. And even then Boba acted as Mandalore because he felt obligated to, he didn't take much of an interest in actual Mando culture until he met his granddaughter and some of his troops pushed him a bit.

I do miss Jango being Mandalorian because, like you said, that comic was fantastic.

A lot of people complain about the "death of the EU", but I don't mind having two canons, really.

I'm more than used to stuff like this, with Marvel always pulling retcons and DC rebooting their universe twice already.

I actually think it's pretty incredible how Star Wars managed to keep a single canon for so long. The comics, the games, the films, the novels, everything was canon, and it was about to burst.

>>77372284

While Delta Squad does appear in TCW and Gregor is also a commando, Dave Filoni suggested at Celebration Anaheim that Lucas probably wouldn't have done a Delta Squad arc but that the Bad Batch arc was deliberately pretty Republic-Commando-ish.

We could get TCW novels or comics with more Bad Batch stuff. Would that fill the gap for you?

No, the models make you angry. The animation is as smooth as late seasons of TCW for the most part. Learn the difference, it could save a life! But probably won't.

I was just watching some of season 3 and it is similar. I'll admit that seasons 5 and 6 do a lot better subtle work though by far. For the second season of a show, having the model manipulations be on par with the part of TCW when it really got great isn't a bad thing.

I hope Rebels lasts to season 4 at least, I want to see if it can beat that final stretch of really good TCW stuff. If at least in animation, since I doubt they'll ever have the budget to beat the art and lighting.

>>77367995

Because the canon purge got rid of anything George Lucas wasn't significantly involved in.

He was significantly involved in the six films of the main saga and The Clone Wars.

He wasn't very heavily involved in the Tartakovsky Clone Wars show.

The two shows also have minor conflicts with one another anyway, and the point of making the new canon was to avoid retcons going forward, so one of them had to go, and they sure as hell weren't cutting TCW loose.

Something not being canon is not a statement about its quality in the slightest. Canonicity has nothing to do with quality and everything to do with "does it fit in the timeline?" The Lucasfilm Story Group decided that, going forward, the answer would be "no" for most stuff in order to give Disney a blank slate to build off of.

>>77372695
>I want to see if it can beat that final stretch of really good TCW stuff

I don't know why, but something deep down tells me not to get too hyped.

TCW showed that it could do great things even early on, with some of the S1 arcs being pretty damn good. I just didn't get that with Rebels yet.
It's a fun show, but that's it. It hasn't pulled me in like TCW did.

Carson is amazing as Ki-Adi in general. He was quite young when they did TPM but he still gives him the movements and voice of an old, venerable man. It's a shame he never gets to do anything in the movies and very little screen time in TCW. Which surprised me, really.

>>77372366

>>77373504
>>77373529

Yeah he had a lot of roles in the early prequel comics because they were pretty much forbidden from doing anything with Yoda, Qui-Gonn, Obi or Mace, so they looked around.

>So uh, there's these other 10 people on the jedi council, what if we make some stuff with them?

That's why Quinlan Vos became a protagonist as well and why they did a bunch of stuff with Shaak Ti.

>>77373593

Wut, he's probably like late 20s, just like a lot of people on /co/.

>>77373607

>>77373748
I kinda want them to continue Vos's story after Dark Disciple.

>>77373666

Vos was based on a background extra seen in Mos Espa in TPM. He's sitting at a table in the scene where Sebulba meets Jar-Jar, and the Dark Horse guys basically just went "What if this guy was an undercover Jedi?"

Funny enough George liked the idea and the character a lot, which is why he got namedropped in ROTS and was going to have an Order 66 scene.

holy shit, thank god THAT never happened!

>>77373863

It's in the comic adaption, along with the (also unfilmed) Barriss death scene.

Funny enough both of those saved the characters for totally different kinds of story arcs later.

>>77373895
We never find out about Barriss, did we

>>77373983
No.

She was either executed, recruited or escaped in the confusion.

>>77373983
as far as Dark Disciple she is still alive

>>77367474
Doing great work, anon. Gets better every update. What program are you using to design?

>>77373983

Well keep in mind that before TCW it was assumed Barris continued to be a dutiful Jedi knight through the clone wars, and as one of the few spotlighted Jedi from AOTC still alive at the end of ROTS they wanted to show her being offed as well. There was also a Luminara death scene planned which didn't get filmed either. Probably they felt the Order 66 sequence was already dragging on.

So if they had killed her off, the betrayal arc would never have happened.

>>77374410
No and you have shit taste..

>>77374410
Not since the 90s. Even if there wasn't a stigma against them, RotJ kind of paints them as a little-known race of a backwater planet no one really knows about.

No Ewoks yet.

Also, go and finish TCW. You wont regret it.

>>77374398

It really bothers me how they never cut people with the lightsabers in Rebels. It makes it feel like a Saturday Morning Cartoon; at least they still get shot.

>>77374482
Sure thing, not that it matters but does finishing TCW add to Rebels? In terms of plotting or set-ups?

>>77374476
Makes sense, but I figured knowing how Star Wars love to bring out the old familiar haunts in their tertiary materials they might have come across Endor or a person who had.

I'll be honest, I thought the stigma had largely subsided, what with the generational gap and all that.

Honestly the worst part about Revenge of the Sith.

It's not even a case of "not muh." It's just bad writing.

Bad from one perspective in that it makes the Jedi look like fucking retards and not in the "the Jedi have lost their way" sense but in the these Jedi are legitimately mentally handicapped how did they manage to survive this.

And then it just makes for bad film making the way it was all shot. Sure in real life people die like nothing and we move on. But these are films not movies. Clones and Stormtroopers? You can cut them down without a second thought. They're nameless faceless mannequins. But in the same way it would be shitty to just have Wedge shot out the sky immediately on take off with no reaction from anyone else it just watches badly to rapidly kill off the council in quick five second bites of them getting shot or chopped down.

I'm normally a pretty staunch defender of the prequels but Order 66 + Palps cutting down the other masters has always felt like the most rushed and lazy piece of shit.

>>77374442
Shut up, Ewoks are fine. Star Wars isn't supposed to be badass all the time.

>>77374576

Inky literally decapitated people with style.

>>77374956
But if you're watching the movies and only the movies it's just a bunch of background Jedi getting killed.

And no, if you've never read anything from the EU you probably wouldn't give a shit if Wedge had bought it during ROTJ.

Something else is dropping on Thursday. I hop ethey don't get carried away with too many TV spots.

>>77374607
I doubt it was discovered, or at least there's no reason to believe they were only discovered during ROTJ. Especially assuming the Empire didn't just pick Endor out of a hat and picked it for known qualities that fit what they needed. I'll go with what another anon pointed out, they were just too primitive to be well known - until they played a significant role at the end of the Galactic Civil War.

One of the very few enjoyable parts of Aftermath involved the descriptions of Ewoks dragging screaming Stormtroopers through the brush. The moral of ROTJ is apparently never piss off a bunch of furry bastards who are a. short enough to run invisibly through the scrub brush and b. come at you at anything between knee to crotch height.

On the subject of Ewoks during the pre-ROTJ period, you should totally read Dark Horse's Ewoks Shadows of Endor, which ties in a lot of the stuff from the TV movies and the cartoon.

Not if you pay attention it's not. These people are on the Jedi Council.

It just reeks of George Lucas filming like a child. The child only pays attention to the main characters so they do all the badass stuff. And we're just gonna throw a bunch of other characters on the bad guy's sword so they look even cooler.

Anyone should be able to put together that these are the best Jedi in the order. And so it just feels wrong when you view the movie and see then all unceremoniously taken down in seconds. It feels cheap and lazy because these people who are the best of the best were killed before they could even finish swinging their lightsaber.

The Palpatine part looks especially bad because Palpatine wasn't even doing anything particularly impressive. It looked like every other duel we've seen. So when young Anakin and Obi-Wan have survived, held their own and beaten Sith Lords it cheapens the council even further.

>>77375296

Oh, but I'm talking about the Jedi slaying Stormtroopers with their sabers.

What's the point of having a cool Jedi in the series if all he does is shoot people and deflect blasts?

>>77375360

Holy fuck I hope so

>>77375237
This guy might have info on Ezra's parents. He might be a Jedi that completely removed his past or he could just be a regular hermit.

>>77374956

I think it only really becomes an issue when you take TCW (and possibly Legends) material into consideration.

With no extraneous material than the movies you have no sense of these Jedi any more than any other background extra, and you know from the lines in the movie that all the clones lack individuality and have been bred to be totally obedient.

It only gets heartbreaking when you see TCW and take in all the retcons about the clones and realize they are as much victims as the Jedi are, and not just a race of organic battle droids which Lucas presented them as.

>>77375368
I dunno man, you seem really upset about this. Of all the problems with episode 3 I think background Jedi dying is at the bottom of the list. Doesn't matter if they're powerful or not, it's not their story. They're not main characters. Most of them don't even have speaking roles.

>>77375371
This isn't TCW man, you can't just swing a light sword every chance you get to. You'll get noticed by someone and then you'll get Inquisitors and Vader on your Jedi ass. If you want to stay low-key and only look like regular scum then the first weapon you pull out would be a blaster.

That's what I'm talking about though. That line of thinking just makes for bad film making. It doesn't matter if it's their story you should be thinking about things from all directions and perspectives. Throwing everyone in the fridge to further your main characters is shitty writing.

>>77375646
>That line of thinking just makes for bad film making

Nah man, you're overreacting. If such a simple thing equals bad filmmaking for you then I have no idea what you're doing in a Star Wars thread. Star Wars has always been about broad strokes.

>>77375564

Kanan pulls out his lightsaber all the time! But he uses it only for deflecting shots and shit.

>>77375646
They were basically extras. They don't matter. If it wasn't for the EU they'd be credited as jedi no.1-6.

>>77375646

What the fuck are you talking about? Lucas should have predicted that TCW was going to be made four years later and these characters were going to be further developed?

>>77375316
I do enjoy how Stormtrooper helmets are able to look either sad or pissed as their squadmate is shanked. And then two Yodas are bugging the fuck out as they watch.

>>77375703

Never said it's the only example. Prequels are full of them. But it's just one that always stuck out to me because it seemed like such a rushed and childish decision.

>>77375826
>>77375849

I don't understand what you guys don't get about this. Background characters =/= mook. The Jedi Council does not need individual characterization because you put together through some pretty elementary level context clues that these motherfuckers are the baddest of the bad. These people sit around YODA. They are all above Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Anakin. They're the highest level of Jedi you can reach.

All three of you also forget Genndy Clone Wars was made and canon with George's supervision before Revenge of the Sith came out. So we had canon examples of these best of the best Jedi showing why they were considered such.

>>77376249

And? They were caught unaware, backstabbed, and died.

That was the entire point of Order 66, it was the only way to kill the Jedi in one stroke. This wasn't some random "oh shit we did it!" thing, this had been in planning for literally over a decade. The clones were bred SPECIFICALLY for this moment.

>I don't understand what you guys don't get about this.

You don't understand because you're the one who's not getting it. Jedi aren't gods, never were.

>>77376434
>And? They were caught unaware, backstabbed, and died.

Palpatine stood there with his RED saber drawn talking to them. They were pretty aware.

>>77376249
I don't remember any of them doing anything particularly impressive in genndywars. I remember them running away from Grievous. That's about it. I don't know what YOU don't get about this. Jedi aren't that big a deal, it's okay for the ones are completely unimportant and that don't have lines to just get killed.

>>77376554
Did the entire jedi order see that? And did they thereby know that the clones would instantly turn on them?

>>77376554

Oh, those were just a few.

Also, get off your Anime mindest. Jedi Masters aren't Hokage, they aren't Masters because they're awesome, they're Masters because they're wise and experienced, not necessarily in combat.


They're definitely good, REALLY good, but they can be bested. Maul killed Qui-Gon in Episode I, after all.

>>77376554
He was talking about Order 66, anon. Where the Jedi were literally caught unaware, backstabbed and died. Sidious' duel with the Council Masters happened as it did because none of them had any real clue as to his abilities aside from his being "the Sith Lord they've been looking for". While I agree that the choreography of the duel could have been much better, what with all the Jedi other than Mace struggling to wield their blades properly (though you can really forgive that due to the incredibly limited space they'd been engaged in), the general idea was to convey that Palpatine, despite all of his prior and later posturing as the weak old man, was indeed far more powerful than each and every one of them. The other Masters' being cut down ended up being relatively comedic, but it proved its point nevertheless.

It probably wouldn't have come off so much as such if we'd been treated to a display of their own abilities beforehand in the form of TCW, but it's honestly a moot point.

>>77376665

We're not talking about the entire Jedi Order. We're talking about Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar and Saesee Tiin.

>>77376592
>>77376748

And don't get me wrong I have no problem whatsoever with them dying. I just think it was lazy to feed them to Palpatine with such poor choreography and planning. Even just a short battle with Palpatine still coming out on top would be fine. But letting them all get Sheeved one after another doing nothing more than raising their hands just looks visibly awkward and cheapens the council imo.

>>77376806

It was completely unexpected, none of them expected him just fucking AAOOORRGGHH out and starting slicing and dicing.

Mace, the obvious superior combatant, actually gets his shit together in time, and defeats him, but only because the death of the others bought him time.

He could easily have been the first one killed, and then one of the others would have dueled with Sheev.

Celestials are another thing I'm glad they threw out the window. The extinct ancient precursors with better technology than everyone shit is so cliche.

I liked the Rakata.

I didn't like the Celestials though.

>>77379118
The Rakata were an interesting twist on that trope though.

They had no real idea of how their tech worked, it all ran on the force and when they lost their connection to the force they were fucked.

So more First Assault ramblings.

I found this video from a week ago that shows of First Assault gameplay. This build is from the closed tech beta, and shows off weapons, items, and one game mode.

You can hear a piece of the First Assault theme and a Round Ending Reprise at 6:28.

It is rough and unfinished,so there are unfinished textures and animations, but the game was 5-10 weeks from going gold.

Reminder that this was supposed to be the building blocks of Battlefront 3. First Assault was 8v8, close quarter style game, meant to be the first in a series of games leading up to Battlefront 3.
