it should be a two parter.

In the first episode, he totally overpowers the Rebels and captures Ezra and Chopper

in the second episode, he holds off the Rebels attacks with ease. It looks like he's about to make a clean get away when Ezra and Chopper break out, attack Fett, and he totally gets jobbed in a humiliating fashion.

You know what?

I'm glad that the new movies aren't overstuffed with AAA movie stars like the prequels were.

>>77991081
All of them were relatively unknown at the time though.

Lee and Jackson are the only real standouts, which is no more than Guiness and Cushing in ANH alone.

>>77991156
and McDiarmid and Neeson

>>77991040
I have come to hate that model ship.

I blame the Rogue Squadron game.

>>77991202
McDiarmid is in no way a AAA, and Neeson wasnt that big at the time of TPM at all.

The Prequels casted relative unknowns, much like the OT, and the ST.

>>77991015
It really shouldn't surprise me as much as it does that people have been speculating "Who Kylo Ren is" under the mask, when we've known for months, and the actor's identity was never hidden, but it kind of still does. People have a powerful desire to form headcanons and speculate, even when the truth is right in front of them.

>>77991081
Yeah, but I honestly think that Driver could be one of the best actors of the new cast, including the veteran actors.

>>77991081

>overstuffed with AAA movie stars like the prequels were

I'm counting Liam Neeson, Christopher Lee, Samuel Jackson, and MAYBE Ewan McGregor. And Ewan was still fairly fresh when he was cast.

>>77991202

McDiarmid's career is full of stage roles, for the most part. His film roles are all minor except for Sheev.

I agree. They just confirmed that Snoke is "just" 7 feet tall and the Plagueis theorists are using that to support their theory. As if Abrams and Kasdan would ever use a prequel character as their main villain.

>>77991015
He kind of looks like a white Zuko without the scar.

>>77991394

Plagueis isn't a prequel character. He's a pre-prequel character. Even Legends had him die during the events of Episode I. Who knows when the new canon killed him off?

The thing that nobody seems to remember is that PLAGUEIS IS DEAD. You don't come back from that in Star Wars. You can come back from ALMOST dead, like Maul, or Vader, but Sheev killed Plagueis and he would have made damn sure Plagueis was dead.

Her entire career at that point was a handful of preteen roles in the early 90s, most of them secondary characters. Leon the Professional didn't make that big a splash, anon. She had zero star power when she was cast in The Phantom Menace.

>>77991576
I'm legit mad. Or, since it's settled down to a dull ache, I suppose bitter might be a better word. I had hope for the nuEU, and so far it's all been pandering shit, with a few mildly interesting bits (such as Imperial Sherlock, and Vader being badass). And I can't get over how generic Rebels is. I actually miss George. That's how dire this is. The Force Awakens trailer has not hyped me. I am unhyped.

>>77991510

Phantom Menace: Obi-Wan goes into town, Qui-Gon stays with the ship and radios in frequently. This focuses the overall movie on Obi-Wan, as it should, and does a better job setting up Obi-Wan's relationship with Anakin and setting up Obi-Wan as the deuteragonist of the overall saga. Qui-Gon still gets his Chosen One bits in over the comlink.

Attack of the Clones: Cut parts of the arena battle to tighten it up. It's too fucking long.

Revenge of the Sith: It's good as-is.

>>77991981

I've missed George since Rebels began. He's great when he's got a good team to help him sort the good ideas from the bad, and he has this delightfully inventive sense of ADVENTURE to everything he does.

Under Disney, I feel like we're losing that.

>>77991887
Wouldn't be surprised. I mean, Ford, Fisher, -and- Hamil -DID- put up a fight to ad-lib a good deal of dialogue because they didn't like how Jorge wrote it all clunky.

>>77991981
You know.

Your short, shit and shallow sex life.

>>77992067

I will add that Dave is certainly trying very hard to keep it. Rebels started weak but has become a very respectable effort.

It still feels like Disney is just limiting it too much. I hope Bill Wolkoff becomes more of a staple writer and Saul Ruiz becomes more of a staple director, because Brothers of the Broken Horn and Future of the Force were the first time I really felt like Rebels was finally up where it should have been all along. It would be a shame for them to remain occasional treats instead of regulars.

Likewise, I hope Michnovetz gets to write more episodes. He really knows what he's doing.

>>77990722
Make him a notorious badass in-universe who doesn't quite live up to his own hype, but is still an awkward combination of extremely competent and extremely unlucky. Have Sabine fangirl over him because dammit she needs to display emotion at some point. Friendly to any other bounty hunter except IG-88. Very talented, able to go toe-to-toe with any of the Ghost Crew, and able to hunt them easily wherever they go, but nothing flashy. Make him practical, have him fail in plausible foreshadowed ways, and maybe one joke scene of Kanan beating him while blind. It's becoming a tradition at this point.

Everyone seems to demand that Boba become a joke loser now out of spite for 90s Boba. I want them to reconstruct him into a better character.

Agreed with everything you said. Why can't the nuEU grow some balls already. It's okay in places but it feels like flashy fanfiction in most instead of telling stories not weighed down by having to be star warsy (which basically means it has to copy the OT) which is what rebels and most of the comics have been doing. Especially battlefront. And TFA is going to be the biggest offender in terms of nostalgia fan-wanking.

Can we just let go of the OT having to overshadow everything and just tell a good story that's fresh and exciting, hell George would've at least made it fucking original and set it apart. TFA feels like the OTs extra limb rather than the beginning of a new trilogy.

Not a one.

Acutally I'm lying maybe a throwaway line to Clone Wars but I don't think it would be necessary. Ahsoka has left by this point and Satine is dead. Both have moved on.

>>77992067
The budget's murdering the show. The Hondo and Sabines ex episodes were so painfully obvious filler. It just put me off the show because it feels like a cheap generic cartoon.

It may be good occasionally but it needs less episodes otherwise season 2 will look weak as shit with all this bad filler and I don't think much of the show as it is.

I like some characters but Kanan is so fucking whiny and inept for a grown man with decent combat skills and experience.I actually like his comic because his personality fits his 14 year old self better and muh clone wars.

Ezra is young so I can tolerate the way he behaves most of the time but he looks intentionally like Aladdin which I can't get over.

I don't know if anyones noticed but the shows animation, in terms of character movement is very exaggerated and cartoony in contrast to tcw. There's no reason for it either if these guys worked on the other show. Sometimes characters will move a certain way or do something that looks unrealistic and cringy. That coupled with the bland art style makes the show seem very immature visually.

I feel embarrassed to watch it. Nowhere near even the standard of quality set in TCW season 1. They need to put more money into this show. They've got enough manchildren drooling over it why not raise the budget!?

>>77993106

on the upside, we still have the original films, Clone Wars, and the old EU. It's pretty much the biggest fictional setting there is, unless you include entire companies universes (such as all DC, and all Marvel).

To my mind, Disney bought the rights, but not the soul. Disney under Star Wars is little more than a reboot. The original and true Star Wars ended when Lucas sold it and stepped away. Not flawless logic or thinking, but it works for me.

It also allows me to leech some enjoyment from the new stuff.

Amen to that. The soul is what I feel they're missing. They've got the aesthetic, the actors, the music but it's missing what made all six movies special along with the EU. Which is to tell exciting stories at #1 priority which is what lucas did, if you focus on the SW aspect too much you lose something, which is why he was the best man for the saga, with fanboys and corporates in charge it's lost that edge. It's about letting your experiences and films you've watched inspire you to tell a story in the SW setting like GL. And the EU writers then expanded that horizon but kept it fresh.

. Sure there was some crazy shit in the old EU but such is the cost of allowing creativity. Without courtship of princess leia the nightsisters wouldn't exist etc. But like you said. There's years of stuff good and bad to go through so I'm not bothered. And I feel optimistic there will be gems to be found in the new EU among the mundane stuff so it's cool.

No, I mean the arm-blade that can block lightsabers.

I'm fine with stormtroopers being a threat now, but the idea of them being able to go against a Jedi hand-to-hand like that is just wtf.

When did Jedi become common enough that this would somehow become standard issue? I thought the Jedi were still really rare in this age, rare enough that stormtroopers would probably try to just overwhelm them with blaster fire instead of trying to fucking duel them.

And I was GLAD when the new canon got rid of all the old lightsaber-immune materials. TCW showed us that electrostaffs can block a lightsaber, but only with the electrified parts; the center part that's not electrified is just as choppable as anything else. That feels RIGHT. The idea that a lightsaber can only be stopped by other energy weapons feels RIGHT.

This just looks dumb. Even if that's supposed to be an arm-mounted electrostaff or something, it looks dumb.

>>77991993

It's amazes me how often people thinking they can improve the prequels demostrate utter blindness to the most basic plot points and themes of a movie literally made for 10-year olds. Like, why Obi-Wan cannot replace Qui-Gon as Anakin's father figure.

>>77994571
He died as he lived: Actually competent.

>>77994543
Finn isn't a Jedi (yet) and this is the first time he actually uses a lightsaber in combat. What do you expect?

>>77994637
>Like, why Obi-Wan cannot replace Qui-Gon as Anakin's father figure.

He could have easily replaced Qui-Gon. You're just a close minded fanboy.

>>77993745
That a fact?

>>77994571
I'm not as crazy about that scene as I was when I first saw it. Tarpals' last line delivery sounds off, and it's such a shame that his sacrifice gets wasted by Grievous just getting traded back for Anakin.

Still a badass Gungan, though. Tarpals was what every militiagung should strive to be.

>>77994637
Not the same guy, but why can't he?

>>77994717
>He could have easily replaced Qui-Gon

He couldn't though

The whole point of Obi-Wan's character in Fallout 1 is that he's the doubter who doubts shit and says sarcastic things

>>77994637

Oh, I didn't forget that at all.

My idea was that Obi-Wan would MEET Anakin on Tatooine and, being Obi-Wan, not think much of him, but then Qui-Gon, over the radio, would be like "hang on, wait, go back".

Qui-Gon would guide Obi-Wan through all this shit over the comlink, with Obi-Wan occasionally complaining, reinforcing the master/padawan dynamic already present in the film.

This comes across to Anakin in Obi-Wan's interactions with him, as Obi-Wan keeps answering Anakin's questions with "my master said so" and the like. Despite this, Obi-Wan has some measure of respect for the boy, and this comes across as well, from time to time.

Finally, upon reaching the ship, Anakin meets this mysterious father figure who's been managing the whole Tatooine thing by proxy.

Everything else after that happens as before. The reason we send Obi-Wan in is not to have Obi-Wan replace Qui-Gon as Anakin's father figure: it's to foreshadow both their friendship and their conflict, and to make Obi-Wan the center of the film. As it stands, having Qui-Gon dominate the middle makes it unclear who the protagonist is supposed to be. This fixes that.

It also makes things a bit more tragic on the Qui-Gon front: by limiting their interactions even more, Qui-Gon becomes less real and more ideal in Anakin's life, the father figure he never had and never will. Anakin can project more onto him as a result.

>>77994076
>You're the biggest fucking idiot if you think the prequels are more exciting than a JJ Abrams Star Wars movie.

No. You're an idiot if you're excited for a movie by JJ after his Star Trek reboot. Which was technically competent (save for shitty fight choreography), but very much... average. There was nothing especially terribad by ST standards, but nothing particularly awesome either.

>>77992558
>Everyone seems to demand that Boba become a joke loser now out of spite for 90s Boba.

Awuh?

>>77993711
Reminder that Chuchi is technically George Lucas' daughter.

>>77994796
Because a central part of Obi-Wan's character is how he failed to walk the line between being a mentor and a brother to Anakin. Qui-Gon, on the other hand, immediately and perfectly filled the father-figure role for Anakin, so when he died, it foreshadows Anakin's deep fear of loss that would eventually corrupt him.

The way the Prequels and Anakin are written, Obi-Wan needs to try and fail to fill Qui-Gon's place.

>>77993162
So if he pushes for it, it will be canon canon.

>>77994899
I'm exaggerating. It just feels like so many people actively want him to be a complete fuck up in order to better match his faildeath in ROTJ and/or to bully mandofags. I just want a middle ground between loser and Mary Sue.

>>77994848
wow, this would not translate well to film

>>77994924
Chuchi isn't a Papanoida. She's just a friend of the family.

>>77993162
Can this even work?

>>77994924

No, Papanoida's children are based on Lucas's kids.

Riyo Chuchi is not one of Papanoida's children.

>>77994972
Can't Abrams just get Temuera Morrison back as Boba for the ST?

>>77995049
What if he doesn't wanna come back?

Kidnapping is generally frowned upon.

>>77995049
Age difference between him and Solo would be through "humans from different planets" shit.

>>77994992

There's gotta be a way, dammit.

I guess a simpler solution would be to have both Jedi go into Mos Espa, on the logic that the Trade Federation wouldn't dare come here and Panaka should be able to hold down the fort on his own.

Then we get Qui-Gon's father figure stuff and Obi-Wan's cold sarcastic stuff all at once, and Obi-Wan gets to stay at the center of the action where he belongs.

Actually, that's probably the best way to do it. Send in both Jedi, leave Panaka with the Queen, and let both Jedi be themselves in Mos Espa.

>>77995049
Boba is ded m8

>>77995088

Morrison is 54 and Ford is 73.

Boba Fett, in the ST, would be about 62 years old.

I think Morrison could play 62 without THAT much difficulty. A little makeup to add about ten years and he's golden.

And for all we know, Han could be older than Boba.

>>77994796
>Not the same guy, but why can't he?

Obi-Wan is doomed to fail Anakin as a master, therefore their relationship cannot be too good from the beginning. I think we have enough people accusing Anakin of being an irredeemable asshole already, imagine what it would be had Obi-Wan been potrayed as a good teacher, and not as a man who decided to train a kid whom he did not trust despite being unqualified as a mentor out of his sense of obligation.

>>77994848

Hm, that in principle can work. Sorry for badmouthing you.

>>77995180
Clones age twice as fast as normal people. By the time of the OT he was biologically around 40. By the time of the ST he should be around 100 biologically.

Reminder that Han will die in ep 7

>>77995082
The mental image is funny

>>77995225
Boba doesn't. Remember, he ages at a normal human rate.

He's Schrodinger's plaything, neither alive nor dead until they say for sure either way. Aftermath suggests he may be alive, though if so he's ditched the armor he wore in RotJ (but Filoni suggests he probably has a whole bunch more of it in his ship).

>>77995180
Han was always portrayed as being ~10 years older than Luke and Leia, so 34 or so in RotJ. Boba would be 36 in RotJ.

>>77995225
Boba was an unaltered clone. No accelerated aging.

>>77995254
*insert Hutt joke*

>>77995221

Yeah, I'm trying to find some way to center the action on Obi-Wan but preserve the themes and relationships.

Currently, I'm up to >>77995098

Because I realized that yeah, like >>77994992
said, my idea doesn't translate well to film.

Sending both Jedi in might get a little clumsy because you're adding a whole other person to the ground party, but it might be the only way to properly keep Obi-Wan involved in the action without compromising Qui-Gon's relationship with Anakin.

>>77995225
Jango's one condition to being cloned for the army is that he got a normal clone as a "son."

>>77995259
Aftermath suggests he is dead, anon. Sure, we don't know how well a sarlaac can digest things, but it can be assumed that biologicals like flesh get destroyed much easier than synthetics like armor.

>>77995254
BBW Twi'leks really do need to be more of a thing.

>>77995225

Boba has no growth acceleration. He ages at the normal speed.

But yeah, my math was slightly off. He'd actually be about 66 by the ST.

>>77995201
Light purple/lavender, anywhere between 5'4'' and 5'10 (though past that is okay), slight hourglass, and early adulthood.

>>77995354
Dengar's interlude suggests he thinks Fett could still be alive, since it's 3 months later and yet he falls for the "look, it's Boba Fett!" trick.

Also, not officially canon but JW Rinzler sat down with George and he did say that Fett did survive after all.

Dengar might not have known that Boba went into the sarlaac, though. Everyone that was on the sail barges were either shot, strangled, blown up or went into the sarlaac. Only the main heroes survived, and unless they ran into Dengar and told him about it, I doubt he would know.

I think that he'd know simply because the death of Jabba would be a huge fucking deal and he'd probably know that Fett was there, given that he was at Jabba's palace earlier, presumably with Slave I.

>>77995455
The story is fine. Get the audiobook, I've heard that the writing style is supposedly a lot easier to deal with there, but I never really had much of an issue with it. Aside from the prose (which does shift as the story progresses), the worst thing about it is that it contains about four fakeout "deaths" that end up not actually killing people.

>>77997392
I'd actually be onboard for that as well.

>>77997144
Because planet busting guns are kind of stupid to begin with. Or because blowing up the planet might have just sent the moon barreling off in some direction that they couldn't easily follow given that they had just created an asteroid field. Or because blowing up Yavin wouldn't have destroyed the moon but all the debris would have fucked up the targeting systems. Or because it's a literal range issue with the Death Star moving at full speed and not being in range for the laser to blow up the moon. Or because there was something on Yavin they didn't want to blow up. Or because there may have been a reason the laser couldn't fire for 15 minutes and it was prudent for THEM to be hiding behind the planet. Or they didn't give a shit because the rebels couldn't do anything anyway. Or they wanted to give them time for an evacuation so they could find more rebel bases.

>>77993759
>He was the most badass mando in galactic history in-between trilogies, and now he's a pathetic, bloodthirsty jobber.

Just like he was in the movies and the cartoon.

>>77997610
Well, in the OT, he doesn't really do much of anything. In ESB, he proves himself a brilliant hunter, and is perceptive enough to find Luke following him and the stormtroopers in cloud city, but he doesn't excel in any action scenes. In RotJ, he's got those alien dancers charmed, but he fails miserably and dies in the put of carkoon fight.

So for some reason, kids these days only want him to be seen as a bumbling loser with a crippling weakness against blind men.

>>77997682

He relies on his senses and is a little clever. But the fact that he's willing to work for Jabba should give you some hints on his character. He's wasted potential.

And he doesn't have any girls charmed. They're paid to be there of course they're gonna treat Jabba's enforcer/bodyguard well.

Boba was only some epic badass int he minds of fans.

>>77997682
>kids these days
It's a funny give and take we've got now. Darth Maul and Boba Fett, two characters with more style than substance. Except all of Boba's added substance is a thing of the past. Maul is the new Fett, brought back after falling into a pit and getting a significantly greater development after the movies.

So you can look forward to the next reboot in 40 years when TCW isn't added to the new new canon and Maul remains an edgy karate man who got cut in half by a padawan despite having the high ground.

>>77997199
I don't like the design of the weapon either, though strictly speaking Finn seems to be stormtrooper and the other guy is obviously as well. So similar training would result in similar skill, the only diffrence being the weapons wielded by both parties.

It looks stupid, sure, but if you follow the internal logic of the setting and the plot as far as we know it's right.

All the time they spent building and researching it, I feel like they should have known exactly what would happen to a gas giant.

>>77997936
IIRC, in the old books, the Death Star only ever fired on two planets, Alderaan and Despayr, both rocky terrestrial worlds. I don't think they ever managed a successful weapons test on a gas giant.

>>77997953
>Despayr

Heh.

>>77997144

Because a gas giant is so much bigger than a normal planet, that unless the Alderaan shot was at the small faction of full power, it wouldn't have exploded like a bomb - disintegration likely would have taken half a day, enough time for the Rebels to evacuate the moon.

Serously? He's one of the most successful independent filmmakers in Hollywood. He's a good businessman but he knew how to treat his franchise contrary to many fans belief.

They're kids films but they've always retained something for older viewers to enjoy. Rebels has nothing that really makes me want to watch it. Vader will become a jobber, Ahsoka is barely recognisable and they've put her to work as the kiddie version of starkiller instead of continuing her true story that was written in clone wars. Back then Filoni had different plans for her, when Disney shoved Rebels in his face he decided to rewrite her future to shoehorn her in alongside the terrible main cast, same with rex; he deserves more than to end up with some crazy old men doing jack shit but fish. I'm just disappointed by the way that Rebels has determined the fates of such good TCW characters. Can't wait to see them butcher Barriss and ventress is dead in nucanon or they would have made her Ahsokas punk haired sidekick or something completely awful.

The first season of TCW was a collection of serial style episodes chronicling the early events in the war, it gave us diverse stories and experimented with storytelling which is part of what star wars is about, taking risks. Just because rebels had the generic A-B 13 ep story in S1 doesn't make it better like everyone seems to think. It doesn't stomp TCW yet though I doubt it ever will unless the show puts it's big boy clothes on and starts being of a better animation quality and a decent script.

>The whole point of Obi-Wan's character in Fallout 1 is that he's the doubter who doubts shit and says sarcastic things

Which is why people don't like it, it expressly contradicts what little was known of Anakin & Obi-Wan's relationship prior to that point and only makes Ben look like even more of a pathological liar than he already seemed.

>Obi-Wan is doomed to fail Anakin as a master, therefore their relationship cannot be too good from the beginning.

Sure it can. In fact, that's when it needs to be the strongest, so that when Anakin does fall, and they have their climactic duel to which their final confrontation on the DeathStar is only a shallow echo, you genuinely feel for their lost brotherhood and Anakin's lost potential. As it is, Obi-Wan's lament on Mustaphar is just hollow because it doesn't ring true to how they'd been depicted over the previous two films.

>using more practical effects and less blescreen
>some people think this is a bad thing

This is just baffling to me.

>>78003747
It's not the fact that they're using practical effects.

It's the way it was worded, pandering to the "lol prequels are 100% CGI" crowd.

This is despite the fact that the prequels used a shitton of practicals and sets, moreso than the OT did. There's even a parody of the Comic-Con BTS reel using prequel footage showing that.

>>78003747
/co/ does

Prequel safe space

>>78003747
The idiots in the media claim the OT didn't invent bluescreens or people standing in front of nothing. That these things LITERALLY didn't exist until the Prequels.

>>78003791
I think it's less about the prequels, since it's probably a jab at where Hollywood is at right now.

>>78003829
Nah, it's pretty clear who it was aimed at, and it's not the generic "lol hollywood."

>>77993106
>It's okay in places but it feels like flashy fanfiction in most instead of telling stories not weighed down by having to be star warsy

That sounds more like old EU stuff. New EU is making all the same mistakes of focusing too much on the established characters that no one gets to just have fun with something new.

I think that's why the Darth Vader comic is so popular. Vader wank aside, the edge-droids and the archaeologist/looter are fun OCs where their future isn't written.

>>78004008
>fun OCs

they are literally awful

>>78004021
They're more interesting to read than another shitty made up sword fight between Luke and Vader between Star Wars and Empire.

At least you're free to say "these character sucks and their comic sucks" without having that attach to anything but the already muddied brand of Star Wars. Shitty OCs can at least be forgotten, not like that time Han, Leia, and Chewie found a bunch of lightsabers and ran around swinging them like idiots.

>>78004008
I'd say that's true to a degree, telling stories that fill in the blanks between the OT films or link the PT/TCW to the OT, but there's a portion of the new media that DOES center around characters who aren't from the films and won't likely be in the ST.

I mean, Rebels' entire cast is just one crack in plot armor away from being vaped, all the central characters in Aftermath and Lost Stars are there.

But, unfortunately, what sells when it comes to Star Wars is what's recognizable - and that's Darth Vader and the OT heroes.

One of the nicer portions of the SE, along with seeing Coruscant, Naboo and more of Cloud City, imo.

>>77994076
Found the JJ shill.

>>78004132

I actually don't like seeing those except for coruscant and cloud city a bit.

Tatooine I don't like cause you never see that many people there, and Naboo I don't like cause it feels shoehorned into the OT.

>>78004160
It feels that way because it was a deliberate shoehorning. They were trying to display all the most important worlds from all six movies celebrating the end of the story.

>>78004184

idk man, its one of the changes that George did in the SE that I think he went overboard with.

>>78004008
>>78004083

I'd say the novels have been doing great with orginal characters or fleshing out older ones that had little time.

Lords of Sith made me caee more about Cham Syndula than the clone wars Eps did. Lost Stars had lots of new interesting characters, the comics aren't the end all be all of nuEU.

>>78004220
For me, nothing's as bad as Christenson coming back as Anakin. I know people defend it as "this is what he looked like before "Vader killed him"", but the scene was already fine with Shaw. Luke has no clue what Anakin looked like in his 20s.

>>78004132
Why would people on Tattoine care though? They're still under control of the hurts/crime syndicates.
>Naboo and Bespin I can understand
>Still iffy on Coruscant though, wouldn't there still be a major military presence there keeping the people in-line even after Papa Palpatine's death?

>>78004160
Tatooine is based on Dune's Arrakis and even that desert world had a few heavily populated areas where the majority lived. It was either that or being a miner or nomad in the book.

And even in pre-SE scenes, Luke and Obi-Wan were walking through narrow city streets packed with people.

>>78004184
It was really bad though. There are still people around who remember the clone wars. The leader of the Empire getting assassinated is bad news even if you hated the guy because that means there is going to be a nasty succession crisis, and the local governors were probably not too happy to see people flooding the streets celebrating because someone assassinated the leader of what is basically the federal government.

>>78004287
I guess the road block in ANH is meant to show the Empire having a presence with the ID-checks etc. Luke also says he hates the Empire, which means they must have a negative impact on Tatooine.

this, plus han shooting second, Vader saying No in VI, Vader not saying bring my shuttle in V, the jabba cgi scene in IV, the jabba dance cgi scene in VI, and most of the cgi cheese in Mos Eisley during IV are the main changes that really make me go "UGH, WHY JORGE"

Right now they're about the only thing I care about because I have no idea where the cutoff is for "this is still relevant, this isn't."

>packed with people

you've clearly never been to a large city anon.

HK-47 is in that new game galaxy of heroes. Does this make KOTOR canon?

>>78004303
I don't think it's supposed to be as muddled as if it were like people in real life with all our different feelings about our leaders around the world. Sheev and the Empire were supposed to have a 0% approval rating almost galaxy-wide. Remember how black and white this setting is. Also, remember how background characters in this universe tend to be actual sheeple. If you're not a main character, you just go with the flow.

I've never seen the original Star Wars, so I loved SE Mos Eisley.

>>78004346
The recent additions to Mos Eisley and Ben's Krayt call in ANH bug me the most, they're just really offputting

>>78004367
The sets in Mos Eisley had a lot of characters. All recycled from the Cantina scene, true, but that's for filling out the streets.

>>78004452
>The sets in Mos Eisley had a lot of characters

they did, but the city streets weren't "packed"

>>78004392
No, Pablo said it wasn't and him being in the game didn't recanonize him.

>>78004356
A New Dawn
Tarkin
Lords of the Sith
Heir to the Jedi
Dark Disciple
Weapon of the Jedi
Smuggler's Run
Moving Target
Lost Stars
Aftermath
Ezra's Gamble
Whatever the books are called with Zare Leonis

Those are the canon books. All others released prior to September 2014 aren't canon.
>>78004392
Not how it works, anon. Also, that game isn't canon.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:GoH_Tweet.png

>>78004473
Are you thinking of the area outside of the cantina? That's the only place that wasn't filled with people.

>>78004474
>>78004489
that's a shame, I'm still holding out on them doing something with KOTOR. thanks anyway

>>78004494

no Im thinking of when you see the stormtroopers walking through the alleyways looking for the droids

>>78004287
>>Still iffy on Coruscant though, wouldn't there still be a major military presence there keeping the people in-line even after Papa Palpatine's death?
Literally right after the scene in ROTJ, police start fucking up the crowds gathering to celebrate, as seen in Aftermath.

>>78004527
I thought there were a lot of extra in those scenes.

>>78004557

no, there some, but the streets aren't packed with people

>>78004489
>Those are the canon books.
You forgot Twilight Company, anon.

>>78004514
For what it's worth, they did say at Celebration that doing more Old Republic era stories isn't off the table.

But when it happens, it probably won't be for a while yet. Wouldn't be surprised if we got more hints in Rebels like we did in TCW before we got a full book or game set thousands of years before the movies.

>>78004579
So I did. Which is odd, because I'm almost halfway through it...

>>78004600
How is Twilight Company btw?

there are a bit more extras than I remember, but those aren't packed streets.

Anyways, didn't notice until a recent viewing of ANH that han and chewie have a pair of dice hanging in the cockpit of the falcon, you can clearly see them in the above video.

>>78004624
It's okay. Well written, but the story is just kind of boring.

And the main character has seriously had like four name changes.

>>78004639

My favorite part of that clip is watching poor R2 going down stairs without falling over.

>>78004624
Not that anon, but I'm about halfway through and although it takes a while to get going, the payoff thus far has been worth it. Probably my favorite canon novel aside from Lost Stars, though that could still change. Depending on how the remainder plays out, as well as the fact I still need to read Lords of the Sith and A New Dawn.

>>78004624
It's great if you can connect with the soldiers on some level, good if you can't. It gives a nice look into the wars fought against the Empire outside of the movies. A bit of a drag to get through at some parts, but overall it's not too bad.

>>78004661
