Star Wars Rebels

Which is currently the best Star Wars game available?

>>78376923
Kotor

>>78376923

Galaxy of Heroes

>>78376943
This, to be completely honest, family.

>>78376923
Probably KotOR, Rogue Squadron 2, The Force Unleashed, or Jedi Knight 2. The new Battlefront is honestly a lot of fun though.

Ciena Ree best girl.

Phasma inflation porn when?

So I was hoping you guys could point me in the right direction. In the EU, there are some "good" bad guys, good people who are stuck on the wrong side of the conflict, like Soontir Fel.
What I'm looking for are some "bad" good guys; people working for the Rebellion that were willing to go to any length and use any unscrupulous edge to unseat the Empire.
Does anyone fit that bill?

>>78376988
No, it was Podracing

So I found a torrent for all of TCW organized chronologically and in BluRay Quality

The catch is it's 101gb. And there aren't any seeders.

>>78377167
Yeah, I don't really see why it was marketed as a young adult novel.

Is the chewie mini worth reading?

>>78377129
I found it very endearing and admirable that she was so loyal, honorable, and honest. Too bad no such would woman would ever exist

Not really, it's pretty boring like most of Marvel's comics.

>>78376923
Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight is on gog, and is fuckin dope. It even has live-action cutscenes, which are surprisingly good

>>78377098
It looks cool, but I don't see all of the hype about it.

>>78377093
Is Maul the only one who uses one? Does anyone else use one in canon or EU?

>>78377089
But which one?

>>78377255
The cutscenes are pretty funny.

>>78376923
The best game right now is Galaxy Of Heroes the other is Battlefront but is shit.
So if ypu have a good phone you can download it for free is pretty good. There are other ones too like Lego Star wars or Uprising but i prefer Heroes.

>>78377505
I doubt that's ever really going to be worth that much to be honest, doesn't seem like it's be that rare, so you might as well. Nothing like me having opened Revan and Malak figures which would be worth like $300 each in their packaging today.

>>78377034
someone already uploaded TCW in blu-ray on KAT and it's only 29 gigs and in mp4

>>78377856
Yeah got to take we we can get though. It took people ages to upload this collection so you may be looking for a long time. I'm just happy to have season 5 in HD now.

I can't tell the difference between 1080P and 720P

He lived and will probably be a bigger deal in Ep 8

>>78378333
I'm betting Ben stole the Falcon when he went to the Dark Side and made his escape. And then left it on Jakku for Rey for when she was old enough.

>>78378250
No, creepy attachment and an unwillingness to accept that his loved ones would die is what caused Anakin to fall.

>>78378280
Well Aftermath was a by the numbers, group brought together by circumstances to accomplish objective X story. The same one that we've seen in a shit ton of EU books. Am I the only one that fucking loved Lost Stars having just a random mook's perspective from the major battles of the OT?

>>78378321
It was that one alien that wasn't Nien numb that blew up. Temmin lived as did girl pilot.

would you press the button?

You know more than the deaths of Han, Vader, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Ventress or any other tragic moment in the series the thing that bums me out the most is Threepio getting his memory wiped after Episode III. And they play it for laughs too.

>>78378394
I thought Lost Star was fucking brilliant, it was really cool and refreshing seeing the Imperial soldier's perspective on events and how the propaganda was fooling them so much. And I loved Thane's personal conflict with helping the Rebels because it was better than the Empire yet not fully agreeing with their cause and being skeptical. If you haven't already, you should read Battlefront: Twilight Company, you get a whole lot more of that kind of "foot soldier's perspective on the war and the ideology" type stuff. Very grounded, Band of Brothers type story with lots of good action. Highly recommend it.

I've always felt so sad that Vader never got to hang out with Threepio and R2 ever again, especially since the former was his best friend as a kid and he built him. I will always love this, no matter how not canon it is now.

>>78378646
Yeah. I ended up liking the B-1s.

>>78376923
KOTOR II

>>78378763
He gave her full portions of alien cum.

>>78378657
Yeah, reading it right now. pretty good so far.

So the new books I've read so far

Great tier
Lost Stars
Dark Disciple (Even if the end part is kinda retarded)

Good Tier
New Dawn
Heir to the Jedi

Ok tier
Lords of the Sith
Tarkin

Mr Bones tier
Aftermath.

>>78377585
Just Vader

>>78378763
Gross

>>78378839
>Mr Bones tier
Fuck you Davis, Mr Bones was great

>>78378896
That's why Aftermath gets it's own tier Temmen and Mr Bones are great characters that are just trapped in a shit book.

>>78378909
I think you mean Temmin, Mr Bones AND Sinjir

>>78378925
Too true, not to mention Sloane.

>>78378949
Oh yeah, Sloane was fucking great too.
She needs to appear more. I'd love a book focused on her.

>>78378961
I really hope we get a Rebel episode that acts as a followup to New Dawn with her in it.

Also I'd like some more info on what other post-imperial fations are up to.

So it really was a riot control baton.

>>78378680
Why would a kid build a protocol droid to help his mom? She could use something to cook or clean or do repairs around the house instead, not a droid that is fluent in over 3 million forms of communication.

>>78379024
Because Lucas did not think for very long about it. Internal story logic was not his concern.

>>78378973
Kind of funny they have riot gear with anti-lightsaber capacity but against a true Jedi those guys would be absolutely fucked just from Force Push alone. And of course Kylo Ren has that weird Force Bind ability he can use not just on people but also blaster bolts, so depends on if those are Knights of Ren specific techniques.

While I'm talking about the picture did anyone else hate the majority of the vehicles introduced? That transport is just really bland, lacks the style of the old LAATs and the Imperial police version dropship/gunship. Also that stupid as fuck Resistance dropship.

stormtroopers are actually competent and merciless now.

you can thank jj for that.

>>78379024
He built what he could with what he had. Threepio has always been useful for more than just translating anyway. From a story standpoint, it's just supposed to convey that Anakin has a talent for repairing and tinkering with technology.

>>78379071
They were always merciless, however their competency is as variable as ever depending on plot requirements.

Is that something you do on purpose or a joke for when you down an enemy?

Hmm. Something I also noticed in the movie, but why are Troopers so short and stocky looking? The ones in 4,5,6 were all tall and lean. Probably the only tiny nit pick I have for some odd reason.

It's an old reference to the character. At least they didn't use "Piggy."

Of course NOW I regret not buying the Star Wars swag when it was a little cheaper pre movie, cause I just couldn't trust myself to trust a new Star Wars movie. I wanted to get some Kylo stuff, but I was like...nah, he's going to be such a lame villain I just know it! Fuck, now I can't even FIND figures of him. Silly me.

>>78379046
You know....I'm just really not interested in the lore or backstories of TFA like I was with the other films.

I think it's the rehashing of it. The fact that nothing is actually new, just the same story with a different coat of paint. I'm not interested to learn about Jess Pava because I know the era she lives in is boring as fuck. Nothing feels new...and it makes me sad...

>>78379072
I've never seen a Phasma. The only figures I've managed to get are a 3.5" Stormtrooper, a Black Series Guavian Enforcer, and a Black Series Kylo Ren. Really want Phasma, Hux, and Poe still. Might grab Rey, Finn, and some random aliens if I get the chance too.

I feel that way about buying some of the Lego figures outside of their sets. Should have done it before Christmas, now the prices are insane. Oh well, there will be plenty of chances to acquire a BB-8 and so on.

>>78379150
Same. The universe doesn't feel quite as intriguing this time around. The characters are, so it's a tradeoff, but I'm not as eager to learn about Alien #4 or why the guy who hired Han to get those rathtars wanted them. Hell, I think Han mentioned having a crew and those things killed most of them, I'm not even that eager to find out who those guys were, and that feels weird because they had to have been pretty cool if they were working for Han and Chewie.

It's all rehashes, man. It's the same story. All rehashes.

>>78379214
I'm not a fan of Maz and Snoke being both 1k years old. It just feels cheap. Poppa Palps was only 85 in RotJ

>>78379183
Porkins' legend will live for as long as pilots have to eat a quick meal and fly at the same time!

>>78379246
Yoda was 900 by the time he died. But yeah, it's kind of lazy for both. One would be fine, personally I'd prefer it to be Maz and not Snoke because of how eclectic she is so it makes sense, but that's just me.

>>78379225
Instead of expanding the universe, TFA shrank it to fit in the narrow perceptions of the general public.

I miss George. He had imagination. I realize now that literally every film JJ has done has had no imagination in it. He's never really crafted a world before like George has.

>>78379225
For me the story was compelling enough (even if it was a strong rehash of ANH) but the setting is weak. They didn't bother to flesh things out, which was a pretty bad misstep given it's been thirty years since the battle of Endor.

Whatever else the Prequels suffered from, the allure of the setting, the designs for people, places, and vehicles, created a fairly compelling backdrop to a story that sadly lacked cohesion. TFA is a step too far in the other direction (and it doesn't help that they carbon copied a lot of the plot points). Still it's something that can be built up, so I won't really complain.

>>78379245

>>78379280
Name one good idea in Star Wars that is purely from George Lucas

>>78379309

great argument.

>>78379313
Making Star Wars movies was a pretty good idea.

>>78379313
No underwear in space, for one.

On a more serious note you do realize the vast majority of ideas came purely from George, even if other people refined them later. He was still the impetus and the driving vision was his. But of course not everything he came up with was golden.

>>78379317
Okay.

>>78379267
I'm okay with Maz being super-old (it also helps that she's endearing as a character). I'm not sure I want Snoke to be that old, but I guess it really depends on what his backstory is. They should have gone into that a little more, if only to explain to the audience why, despite the heavy emphasis on destroying the Sith and restoring balance in the previous films, there's suddenly another really big dark side user who may not technically be a Sith but seemingly behaves like one (at the very least we're not given enough information about Snoke to explain tell if he's completely different from how the Sith act and operate or if he's basically the same thing with a different name).

>>78379349
As it is we're not given enough to really distinguish him from Palpatine, let alone from the Sith in general.

>>78379349
The entire prophecy is an odious retcon that has nothing to do with what nakes Star Wars good. Fucking Naboo has a better chance of being referenced

I can see us getting a book that's set between 7 and 8 dealing with Republic politics concerning the First Orders brazen attack on their capital. Hopefully they print something that'll give us a little more context on the status of the Republic.

>>78379372
It's part of the story now whether you like it or not.

>>78379377
I want a book set before Episode 7 showing how the Republic/Senate worked BEFORE being destroyed again.

So can he use the Force to satisfy Rey?

>>78379364

Why do people keep saying Snoke is just another Palpatine.

He's not at all. The problem isn't that Snoke is just another Palpatine it's that we don't know jack shit about Snoke. But he doesn't look nor act like Palpatine. And he's actually directly involved with the going ons of the First Order whereas Palpatine largely sat in the back and let his Moffs and Vader manage everything.

I mean the movie is full of flaws and is a total rehash of ANH but I don't see why Snoke being a bad guy suddenly makes him identical to Palpatine.

>>78379372
Even if you ignore the prophecy, this is basically just "Another Empire with another Palpatine" and we're not given enough to explain why this is different.

>>78379388
It is, but Anakin is dead and they have much better options

>>78379214
The CGI for Maz was pretty decent, though I'm a bit curious why they made her digital given their otherwise strong emphasis on "practical effects". Seems like Maz could have just been a short person with a prosthetic face embellishments and some animatronics. My best guess is they didn't feel it captured the "human" appeal enough as she interacted with people. Some of their effects, like Ackbar, really seemed lacking.

>>78379392
>The problem isn't that Snoke is just another Palpatine it's that we don't know jack shit about Snoke
That's exactly what I'm saying. There isn't enough to distinguish him because we don't know anything.

>>78379390
It's pretty heavily implied that they're related. Like Rey is probably his daughter.

>>78379417

But that's retarded. We don't know anything about a lot of characters. All we know about Maz is that she's old, small and related to the Jedi. MUST BE A YODA NOT ENOUGH TO DISTINGUISH OTHERWISE

>inb4 Rey's real name is Padme or Ahsoka

>>78379427
Red herring

>>78379403
Still kind of wondering what their ghosts are doing. It's possible they were only allowed to exist for a short time to fulfill their destiny after death and then had to fuck off into the Netherworld of the Force, or I guess they're just, what, hanging back and letting the new kids on the block deal with stuff? Seemed like Kylo Ren actually felt Vader was showing him things and it's hard to imagine Yoda doesn't show up at some point. Also it raises the questions of whether that was really Obi-Wan speaking or some kind of weird Force echo.

>>78379392
He's another Palpatine because so far, he's filling the exact same roll Palpatine played in the OT.

There's more to these things than "looking and acting" the same. The story elements are all the same. You'd probably ask how people can think Rey and Luke are the same role because Luke is a boy and Rey is a girl. THEY'RE SO DIFFERENT!

>>78377034

>>78379450

>>78379225
I don't know, I really want to know more about the Guavian Death Squad personally. I have the Black Series figure of one of those guys and I think he looks awesome. Some of the other aliens in Maz's cantina also piqued my interest. Mainly though, I'm just dying to know more about the Knights of Ren and Kylo.

>>78379450
I want to believe Anakin is the cause of Kylo's tug at the light

>>78379389
Anything would be good really, now that 7 is out at least they can probably start setting out ideas for books in the long 30 year gap.

>>78379463
I hope so, though I'm curious. If they do Obi-Wan will they use Ewan McGregor and make him look older or use some of that Tron magic to digitally recreate Guinness with McGregor's voice? That seems...creepy.

That's a surprisingly sweet idea. Could also be that Kylo Ren has been trained to resist the Force Ghosts ability to manifest to him with Snoke claiming they are lies meant to deceive and lead him astray.

>>78379512
b-b-but it's canon!

>>78379024
That's not useful. Now, a droid fluent in more than 6 billion forms of communication? Now we're talking.

>>78379392
Snoke is leading a military unit that looks just like the Empire's and he communicates with his minions with a huge hologram like Palpatine did in ESB.

>>78379479
Do not buy Aftermath. Do not even read Aftermath. My god, it's so bad. Literally put your money toward Lost Stars, Twilight Company, and Lords of the Sith instead of those.

Older looking Ewan McGregor and a puppet Yoda. Make the Force ghosts a little fuzzy and it can work

Animatronics have come a long way but they're not quite as emotive as CGI.

>Some of their effects, like Ackbar, really seemed lacking.
Yeah, it was kind of weird to see his mouth just kind of flapping. It works in ROTJ because everything else is on that level, but in 2015 it looks weird. The most bizarre part is that ILM actually developed a really good emotive Mon Calamari facial rig for Episode 3 (which unfortunately we never see in use in the film and the one deleted scene where that character appears has her sitting silently). Lucas liked it enough that he considered digitally replacing Ackbar in ROTJ with the more enhanced animatronic but apparently decided it was too much trouble.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQcw_D8i0Po skip to about 4:00 to see the animatronic

>>78379494
>>78379463
See, I think that Anakin might appear as a Force Ghost and tell Kylo that he's a fucking idiot.

>>78379503
I know that.
I've listened to the audiobooks :^)

>>78379512
>>78379532
Eh, I enjoyed the book (in audiobook format)

I already own A New Dawn and want to fill up my book collection. Plus I have the money to burn so why not?

LotS, TC and LS will be part of my next pay.

>>78379524
And it's shit. Read what's good.

>>78379487
I think it'd be neat if Ren actually has hallucinations or visions of Vader speaking to him. They all tell him how the Dark Side made him strong and powerful etc. Then the very last vision is Vader taking off his mask with the face of Anakin and saying "It wasn't worth what it cost me." Something like that :P

>>78379494

Guiness was a piece of shit anyway. Just go full Ewan and age him up.

>>78379551
But the people in the thread told me not to....

>>78379516
Ostensibly true, however the Priestesses were charged with existing to teach others deemed worth to become Force Ghosts, should the need arise. They aren't just rare but intended to exist for specific purposes. We know they follow rules. Qui-Gon talked about how he was limited in what he could say to Yoda, and Obi-Wan made it clear that he couldn't help Luke in his confrontation with Vader.

There are limitations and rules that govern their state, and it's possible one of those rules is that they aren't supposed to continue after they've achieved their purpose. This is what the old EU did, anyway.

>>78379518
Qui-Gon had a mission, though.

>>78379487
I think Kylo Ren just isn't really a bad person. He's literally forcing himself down this painful, violent path against his own nature and conscience because he believes it's the only way to accomplish his ultimate goals, whatever those may be (I'm partial to the idea that he wants to kill Snoke and didn't see any other way to become powerful enough to do it). Which is exactly what Jacen did.

>>78379543
Have the force Ghost look like Vader sans helmet and tell Kylo Ren he's a little shit.

Aftermath is better as an audiobook. Still not good but tolerable

>>78379531
Not to mention he's a big dark side user who is responsible for seducing a key dark warrior to the dark side. He's acting almost identically to Palpatine so far, with any differences in his behavior but pretty minimal.

>>78379574
>>78379531
>>78379458
STOP IT! Snoke and Palpatine are not the same! Snoke is way fucking different. Fuck you guys.

>>78379566
There's a difference between not manifesting haphazardly and just plain up disappearing

>>78379543
That's $32 dollars you can spend on a nice dinner at a restaurant reading another one of the books you bought that wasn't Aftermath.

>>78379588
Sort of depends. I think we can all agree the Episode 1 puppet was terrible.

I love the ESB/ROTJ puppet, but it works when surrounded by other effects of the time. If you put it in a modern movie it would look really out of place. I could see them making a more sophisticated puppet for Episode 8, though.

>>78379567
That is my first thought, but killing your own father to become more evil so you can kill your evil boss is about the stupidest "ends justifying the means" thing I have ever heard.

>>78379588
You have a point ep3 yoda looks fine. And I still cringe at that godawful episode I puppet...

>>78379588
I wouldn't mind puppet Yoda as long as it isn't goddamn TPM puppet Yoda. Damn that thing was just wrong. Well, in more ways than one, especially how they for some reason de-aged Yoda a bit, forgetting that at his advanced age of nearly 900 he would still be as much a wrinkled frog as he was in ROTJ.

Of course the old Yoda puppet in the OT was a headache to work with too. Depends on what they want him to do, but if he's just a ghost standing around I could see him being a puppet again easily.

>>78379552
Kylo Ren basically needs the Scrooge treatment. Get Vader, Obi-Wan, and Yoda's ghosts to show him what's what.

>>78379595
There's also a potential difference between being given a very rare gift only bestowed for very specific reasons and being allowed to exist for perpetuity long after you've fulfilled your purpose.

If they were told that their time is done and they should give themselves willingly to the Force and leave the new generation to their own devices, then I can't see Obi-Wan or Yoda arguing.

>>78379627
>>> Kylo Ren keeps trying to be edgy
>>> has ghosts shw up when he's on the shtter to roast him

>>78379627

Eh just Vader would be fine. He wouldn't know who Obi-Wan and Yoda are nor would he care.

It'd be interesting to see Anakin's ghost come to him and see Kylo dismiss it and go down some even darker path now without the guidance and idolization of Vader in him.

>>78379620
For what it's worth, Frank Oz was actually suggesting a CGI Yoda as far back as Episode 1 because he was getting tired of puppeteering. It would probably be easier to just make Yoda CGI again rather than find another puppeteer who can mimic Frank's puppetry well enough AND sync it to a recording of him doing the line, especially if all he's going to do is appear as a ghost for a scene or two.

>>78379650
Why not motion capture the puppet?

>>78379633
the entire premise was to last forever

not for long enough

>OK, but kind of made shit up you did, bitch

>>78379642
I liked the idea someone had of Anakin appearing to talk sense into Kylo, then noticing him having a heart-to-heart with his helmet, going "NOPE" and just disappearing

>>78379661

What is this Marvel?

>>78379642
I don't know, if not Obi-Wan and Yoda (I'm sure Luke told Ben about them though, they were good friends after all), then maybe 2 other past Sith along with Vader. From different eras. Have it set during Life Day while exploring tombs and temples on Moraband.

If you're going to motion capture anything, you're going to implement it in a computer generated environment anyway. Motion capturing and object that has less expression of movement is counter productive.

>>78379659
the last arc of tcws season 6 made it clear yoda was only being taught because they needed him to ensure someone was there to train luke to defeat the emperor. filoni also implied the longer they exist the more fragmented they become because he conceived of the priestesses as different aspects spun off the original so ghosts can change and even degrade.

>>78379106
This brings back memories of Battlefront 2...

*sigh*

Anyone have images of Snoke? Wanted to make some fan art but can't without a reference.

Why would Han and Leia name their son Ben? Han only knew him as a crazy hermit who died and Leia, to our knowledge, never met him when she was alive and only knew him from what Bail told her. Ben was of far more importance to Luke.

>>78379710
Of course to be fair it would have taken the Priestess a very long time, presumably, to fragment. Also they exist outside of the normal bounds of time and space since Qui-Gon said that the past, present, and future were all the same to him now. Makes you wonder if they could manifest in different points in history.

>>78379743
Maybe his uncle got to name him

>>78379743
Maybe he's named after a different Ben. One who didn't manage to lose, from a certain point of view.

>>78379774
>>78379765
Or maybe Leia got to know Obi-Wan better as a ghost. Weird but possible. At any rate he and Yoda sacrificed to protect the twins.

So I have yet to watch The Force Awakens but from what I've heard it makes me wonder, why didn't they just remake A New Hope?

Is it because of some stigma against remakes? Is so they could have an excuse to cast the original actors? Is it to fool people into thinking the movie has som reason to exist other than profit?

Indeed, they named him after a galactic legend who proved that even if you're born ugly and start your career as a laughingstock, you too can one day aspire to greatness

>>78379802
A remake wouldn't be nearly as exciting as seeing the continuing adventures of characters (and actors) they're already familiar with. Nobody wants to see Hip Young Actor #3 play Han in a remake and they can see Harrison Ford come back and play an old Han.

>>78379802
The Force Awakens is a remake of A New Hope

>>78377833
That is kind of the problem with CGI cartoons in general. Despite better camera movement more fluid motion of the characters, they ironically end up becoming more sterile because they typically don't have the budget to flesh out the world.

The characters in this pic are from cartoons that display this rather well. Transformers Prime mostly takes place in a desert and only has about 20 characters. TMNT 2012 makes NYC look like a ghost town that consists of a single block.

>>78379876
Thats it, was it a limited tun or can you still get it?

>>78379863
i was surprised they didn't talk about Rey being a Mary Sue.

I feel like the movie could have been perfect if it had an extra 10-20 minutes of breather scenes, BUT at the same time, I think including them in the premiere theatrical release would have been a mistake. This was not a regular sequel, this movie was to be scrutinized into oblivion as the resurrection of the franchise, making it a spectacle from which you have no chance to recover until it ends works better for the first impression and works better in general for the "casual" audience. Imagine what would have happened if Lord of the Rings premiered with the 4 hour extended editions. Now all Disney has to do is actually release an extended edition.

>>78380115
I don't think it even needed 10 minutes of breather scenes. You could probably add a minute or two here and there and make due with about 5 extra minutes.

>>78380255
In some scenes you could probably take a few extra seconds to add some exposition, like explaining just how the First Order came about or what the situation is between them and the Republic (beyond "they're enemies").

New Rebel episode?

>>78380225
I know how you feel, they were released almost three years ago and I only found out about them a few months back. I don't think anyone who didn't preorder got one. Not that I'd have $350 to drop on one of them either. They're now $500-$1500 on eBay but I don't see any listings for Obi-Wan.

No Mace Windu sadly.

It's the Sideshow Star Wars Mythos collection: http://www.sideshowtoy.com/brands/star-wars/star-wars-mythos/

How powerful can we expect Luke to be canonically now? If the First Order and the Resistance are both obsessed with him (him especially as compared to any of the other surviving Jedi or other Force users out there like Nightsisters) this suggests he's a pretty big deal. Will be reach EU levels of insanity?

>Luke safely landed himself and Isolder from a free fall drop from orbit with the Force.
>In the middle of a massive midday meal food fight at the Jedi Praxeum's mess hall, Luke instantly froze every morsel, drop and item, solid and liquid in midair as if trapped in time, only falling after Luke had consciously released everything within the room.
>Luke was able to knock down an AT-AT by pressing against it with the Force; he also absorbed the initial cannon blasts from the AT-AT, before deflecting the rest with his lightsaber.
>In combat, Luke was able to destroy a group of hot-wired battle droids just by waving his hand, subtly displacing their master servos and causing the self-destruction of the group of droids.
>during the Black Fleet Crisis, Luke used the Force to rebuild Darth Vader's old fortress on Coruscant. Luke would later use the Force to crush the rebuilt fortress of Darth Vader to rubble, shattering the building piece by piece and throwing it into the oceans of Coruscant.
>During the Battle of Dantooine during the Yuuzhan Vong War, Luke managed to telekinetically sustain a black hole while simultaneously flinging the dovin basals into it.
>In arguably the greatest fight of his life, Luke Skywalker walked Beyond shadows and had a final duel with Abeloth. Using his bare hands and offensive Force exertisons, Luke was able to temporarily destroy the dark side entity, with help from Darth Krayt, who also attacked Luke as well halfway through, and attempted to drain him.

>During the Eye of Palpatine incident, Luke subconsciously used his Force powers to overcome a particularly vicious form of brainwashing, able to easily siphon all the information he was seeking.

>While searching for the kidnapped Solo children, Luke used the Force to create an illusion over his face in order to disguise his identity. After the Black Fleet Crisis, with new found knowledge from the White Current, Luke removed the Teljkon Vagabond from view using the Force.

>During the Death Seed Plague, Luke used the Force to communicate with the sentient crystals Tsils; despite the fact that the more dissimilar the type of mind, the more difficult it is to communicate with via the Force.

>Toward the end of the Swarm War, Luke used the Force to call all the Jedi across the galaxy to Ossus to make the announcement of him taking on the role as Grand Master of the Jedi Order and to issue his views about the role of the Order to his Jedi.

>While he was re-creating the Jedi Order and was searching for potential candidates, he walked on lava while still throbbing with the Force after defeating a Fireworm living in the lava just moments before.

>During the early days of the Dark Nest Crisis, Luke used the Force to generate a physical copy of the Jade Shadow to fool the attacking dartships. This usage of the Force was so extreme, Luke burnt out and his face was temporarily sunken and shriveled like Palpatine's.

>While battling UnuThul, Luke was able to resist the combined Force power of the Colony and triumph. When UnuThul attempted to Force Push the Grand Master, Luke rooted himself with the Force so strongly that it was said that he had become the very essence of the immovable object, and that not even the black hole at the center of the galaxy could move him.

>>78380780
>During the Battle of Kashyyyk, Luke shut his presence down after being fired upon by Jaina to make it seem like he died. Later while Ben was in the Embrace of Pain, Jacen gave Ben back his ability to sense the Force temporarily and Ben felt the life force of his father and realized Luke was shutting himself down to everyone except Ben, something no other Jedi has been able to do.

>Right before the Battle of Fondor, Luke made Caedus "see" a fleet of ships, causing him to panic in front of his navy. Luke directed it right at Caedus in general, to show him what he could do and also to scare Caedus.

>Luke revealed to Jaina Solo that he was capable of perceiving Shatterpoints, a very rare Force ability

>During the Battle of Yuuzhan'tar, Luke had shown himself capable of consciously reaching a state of Oneness. He was described as a maelstrom of luminous Force energy, against which there was no shelter. So calm and focused was he that his actions were not interrupted by any thought. Luke merged with the Force to such a degree that the Jedi Master did not seem to be there, physically or as an individual personality. Luke's control over his lightsaber blade was so great that he was said to might as well have been wielding ten, or twenty lightsabers against the Vong.

>Luke used a powerful and unique ability of the Force related to his signature green Electric Judgment in the chamber of Shimrra Jamaane. This technique had been described to look like "green sparks," which instantly killed the Slayers.

>Skywalker learned the "lightning-rod" technique Ayna-seff, which he use to safely travel through the Kathol Rift.

>During his duel with the Columi Qresh brothers, Luke dispensed powerful blasts of Force energy that manifested itself as golden flame.

>Upon death, Luke was able to retain his consciousness in the Netherworld of the Force, and could henceforth manifest himself in spirit form.

>Luke was proficient in unarmed combat. He was able to defeat Guri, who was an expert in unarmed combat. He often used physical attacks when he was in lightsaber combat to defeat enemies like Jabba's thugs to even kicking Darth Vader down a stair case in their final duel. In the duel at the lake of apparitions, Luke killed the entity Abeloth by pushing his elbow through Abeloth's head. He also overpowered Darth Krayt when the Dark Lord tried to Force drain him by bashing him and throwing him to the surface of the lake.

>Luke was able to speak a variety of languages such as Galactic Basic, Huttese, Jawa Trade language, Shyriiwook,and Yuzz, and he claimed to know twelve other common languages.

>>78380814
>Though Luke received little training, he became an exceptionally skilled Jedi in combat, making him one of the most powerful Jedi to ever live.

>In the fight against Darth Sidious, during Operation Shadow Hand, he rebelled against the reborn Emperor and despite losing initially, Luke again engaged Sidious in a final duel. The fight was so intense that Leia could hardly see the movements of Luke as he engaged the Emperor, but she sensed waves of power generating from them—dark from the Emperor, and light from Luke. Luke took the upper hand and sliced off the Emperor's hand with cho mai. Darth Sidious, whose lightsaber prowess rivaled that of Yoda's, laid defeated.

>Luke was also able to display his amazing dueling skills with dual blades during the Yuuzhan Vong War. When his nephew, Jacen Solo, was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong Luke wielded his own blade, as well as Jacen's, and easily defeated three Yuuzhan Vong Warriors, before freeing Jacen. Later in the Yuuzhan Vong War, Luke participated in the Battle of Artorias and defeated over a dozen Yuuzhan Vong Warriors. Luke's abilities with a lightsaber allowed him to fight his way through countless Yuuzhan Vong warriors in the Sacred Precinct. After defeating numerous Yuuzhan Vong warriors in Shimrra's Citadel, Luke defeated more than five Slayers; while Kyp Durron, one of the most powerful Jedi of his time, could not best the Slayers who were exposed to Alpha Red. Afterward, Luke slew Supreme Overlord Shimrra Jamaane, who was stated to be the best warrior of the Yuuzhan Vong, despite being injured by the poison of the Scepter of Power.

>>78380828
>>During the Battle of Tenupe, Luke dueled Raynar Thul, who at the time could draw on the Force energy of every single nest member and Joiner, and was able to defeat him by cutting off his dominant hand. Before he could get Raynar to surrender he was attacked by the Queen of the Dark Nest, Lomi Plo. Although Lomi Plo wielded two lightsabers, Luke was still able to block her attacks and kill her by slicing her into four pieces, thus destroying the Dark Nest and ending the Swarm War.

>During Luke's exile, the Lost Tribe of Sith sent out a strike team to kill the Jedi Grand Master. Despite being outnumbered, Luke along side Ben, fought his way through approximately fifteen Sith until only the Sith Lady, Olaris Rhea, and her apprentice, Vestara Khai, remained. Luke dueled the both of them and killed Olaris, only allowing Vestara to escape so he could track her with a Blood Trail.

>While looking for the Sith on Dromund Kaas Luke, Ben, Vestara, and Jaina Solo were attacked by 10 Sith sabers led by Gavar Khai. Despite being outnumbered and the Sith powered by Dromund Kaas' dark side nexus, the Jedi and Vestara fought them. Luke and Jaina fought back to back, bonded by the Force, in perfect harmony and defeated six attacking Sith.

More stormtroopers were gunned down without even scratching the enemy than probably in V and VI combined (I'll make an exact count just to deal with delusional fanboys like you, once I have the movie on my PC). The First Order's security is worst ever. The stormtrooper captain is one of the most cowardly villains in the history of blockbusters.

If it's a red herring then I give up on anything else Disney does with the franchise.

Hello. Star Wars newfag here

When did Obi-Wan graduate from Knight to Master to Council Member? Is it shown anyone?

I'm watching the Clone Wars and he's on the Jedi Council but iirc he was just promoted at the end of the phantom menace to knight

>find another puppeteer who can mimic Frank's puppetry well enough AND sync it to a recording of him doing the line

Literally just hire Eric Jacobson, the guy who took over pretty much all of Frank's Muppets. Hell, I'm shocked they never tried getting him to be Yoda's stand-in voice and just kept having Tom Kane come in to do a bad Yoda impression.

>>78377023

Twilight Company is right up your alley. As for classic EU, Winter and her Devorinan buddy was the closest I can think of.

>>78382356
Offscreen, hasn't been shown anywhere yet.

>>78382469

What are the requirements to be on the Council?

I assume Knight --> Master is training a padawan?

>>78382483
Think so. Only Masters can be on the Council Anakin in Episode 3 was the only exception, although Obi-Wan did imply they were probably going to make him a Master soon enough.

>>78382356
Pretty sure Jedi are granted rank of master after successfully raising an apprentice to knighthood. So, in between AotC and Clone Wars

>>78379567
Ren killing Han will never be forgiven by the fanbase

>>78382483
>I assume Knight --> Master is training a padawan?

Rank from highest to lowers goes Master > Knight > Padawan >Youngling.

Masters can sit on the council.
Masters and knights can train new Jedi.
Masters, Knights and Padawans can run around kicking ass with lightsabers.
Masters, Knights, Padawans, and Younglings are all Jedi.

Obi Wan was a Padawan in 1, a Knight 2, and a Master in 3.

Anakin was some strange rank between Youngling/Padawan in 1, a Padawan in 2, and a Knight who was granted special permission to sit on the council in 3. He has always been a special case since he's the "chosen one".

>>78379743
>Why would Han and Leia name their son Ben? Han only knew him as a crazy hermit who died
Maybe that's exactly why.

Full of Sith put it into my head that we know now that Han became a full believer of the Force and the Jedi and all that by TFA and probably realized how great of a person Kenobi really was so he kept that part of the memory alive through Ben

>>78379743
>Why would Han and Leia name their son Ben? Han only knew him as a crazy hermit who died and Leia, to our knowledge, never met him when she was alive and only knew him from what Bail told her. Ben was of far more importance to Luke.

Maybe "Ben" is a generic name in the Star Wars universe? Keep in mind, when she sent the message via R2 D2, she called him Obi Wan Kenobi.

Obi Wan didn't start going by "Ben" until he went into exile so people wouldn't recognize him. Ben is the name Luke knew him by.

So I'm guessing that Ben is just a nondescript name like "Bob" or "John" in the Star Wars universe. That would make Leia and Han's choice to name him more of a mundane thing and take away a lot of the symbolism.

Beside, I always hated the tendency in various fanfictions and EU to have teenage couples stay happily married injto their middle ages, and have a bunch of kids that look exactly like them, and are all named after people who died, and those kids all be close friends.

Harry Potter was especially egregious in this regard.

>>78382483
There's nothing saying that you become a master immediately after training a padawan, but it is probably one of the requirements.

>>78382803
>Masters, Knights, Padawans, and Younglings are all Jedi.
"I'm just a Padawan, I'm not a Jedi yet" - Anakin

>>78383003
>"I'm just a Padawan, I'm not a Jedi yet" - Anakin

Anakin never says that. Padme says that after some guy on Naboo refers to Anakin as "Master Jedi". Anakin then looks offended and quickly moves to reassert his authority.

Also, just a scene just earlier, Padme refers to Anakin as her "Jedi protector". And let's not consider all the other times Padawan Obi Wan and Padawan Anakin get referred to as Jedi by others.

Padawan are Jedi. Not fully realized Jedi, but Jedi nontheless.

>>78382483

You have to be elected to sit on the council. I think there probably are Masters who don't sit on the council, either because they weren't voted for, or decline to sit.

>>78382895
Harry potter is a little different though. It very much tried to have a "happily ever after" ending due to the nature of the series. Definitely more fantasy-focused and geared to kids/teens than Star Wars, so of course all the protagonists got their happily ever after with their waifu's.

Except Neville.

Anyways, I agree with you. Kinda' like that Han doesn't work out with Leia. They didn't really click together at all in RotJ.

Might just be the directing or the actors faults though. I believe Fisher and Fords performances in 6 are some of the worst in the entire franchise, much more lifeless than most of the Prequel actors. It's weird because in 5, I would have said they had some of the best performances in the franchise. But upon re-watching all the movies, I found RotJ to be the weakest in terms of acting. Except based Hamill.

>>78383137

Because in VI, they made Han and Leia all lovey dovey.

>>78383192
Even without those scenes though. Like Leia on Endor, felt like Fisher had snorted a line right before the camera started rolling.

Ford just seemed like he didn't even wanna' do the movie. I kinda felt that way with TFA at times too, but I think he pushed through it because he got paid like 20 million, and was promised to be killed off for good.

>>78383087

Is Jedi Padawan a thing?

There's Jedi Knight, Jedi Master

So I'd assume Jedi requires knight status

>>78383003
When does he say that?

V > IV > VI = VII > III > II = I

Agree/disagree?

>>78383305

Younglings are less commonly known as Jedi Initiates, and Padawans as Jedi Apprentices.

"Jedi Knight" and "Jedi Master" exist because just saying "Knight" or "Master" without specifying you're talking about Jedi would make things confusing out of context.

But when you say Youngling/Padawan, nobody's going to mistake you for talking about anything other than a Jedi.

Is there no chance this just becomes a story about Chewie going through the grieving process of losing Han?

>It's over Anakin! I have the high ground

Okay so can someone explain to me what Obi's plan was from that point? Was he like expecting Anakin to just be like "oh my god you're right. Well I guess that's it. We should stop fighting and entertain a dialogue about how I killed a bunch of children" or was he intentionally baiting him which would make the I LOVED YOU scene kind of fucked up (and why couldn't Anakin just slowly surf to the edge of the cliff and casually walk off and keep fighting?)

We were told those two people had a connection to the TFA and yet we saw nothing in the movie that was prominent.

If Rey was looting the ship that they were on, then that just becomes poetry.

Or Rey is a child of Ezra, linking all the fans growing up with Rebels to the new movie series would be a great marketing ploy.

I have. These women will bitch to no end witjout looking online for an answer so simple Google will tell you on your phone now.

I do a lot of road traveling and see Rey and Phasma all over the place. 4 and 6 inch. Now in a fairly populated area? Less so. In the hood and tiny towns? For sure. And if these women would just once aim their bitching not at Disney for their difficulty finding the female figure, but Hasbro who makes most of the toys and decides to short pack the woman over a Han or Finn or Iron Man... the problem might get solved. But women do eventually become pegwarmers because you only need so msny to fulfill the needs of the public.

Lego has the females easy to get, but they bitch about Widow coming with the quinjet or phadma with the dropship. Omg, how awful they want you to buy a set gor them. Disney has their own Elite version readily available of both girls at their own store.

But NO, women demand the piece of shit 12" Titan figure which onky morons buy... bitches be tripppin

Exactly.

I don't live by the theory Rey is related but, hey, look at Ciena, she has a bit of force sensitivity based on how things were written. I mean jesus, what she did with that speeder bike... and she has a touch of 'be a good person' that Rey exhibits. I don't know. Its possible, that's all.

>>78384333
