Yeah, it's gotta be a double hander.
Or at least her quarterstaff with blades on the end.

In her fight with Kylo, she made a lot of thrusting attacks with the saber. Not slashes or swings like we usually see.

It was a nice touch by the choreographist for her to fight more like she was using a staff weapon than a sword

16. “[The Ancient Fear] refers to Max von Sydow’s villain who makes Pazuzu look like a pussy!” — Ain’t It Cool

17. “Imagine the standard Star Wars crawl, and when it ends the camera pans up to the stars. But instead of a spaceship zooming into frame we see ... a hand! A severed hand, tumbling through space. A severed hand gripping a light saber.”— Birth. Movies. Death.

18. “Han and Chewie recognize the lightsaber as Luke’s, and they say they haven’t seen their friend in thirty years, since the events of Return of the Jedi.” — Birth. Movies. Death.

19. “There's been a theory circulating for a while about the death of beloved fan favorite, Chewbacca.” — Moviepilot

25. “Jar Jar Binks was a trained Force user, knowing Sith collaborator, and will play a central roles in The Force Awakens.” — Reddit

>>78409958
Finn used the sword like a knife, too.
>>
>>78410015
28. “While Chewie is still on the ship shutting her down with Finn, Han talks to Rey in private and he passes on one of, if not his most, personal gun to her for protection in Maz’s stronghold. This is where Rey gets her DL-44, the blaster Han Solo made famous.”— Making Star Wars

29. “One banner features the ‘Boba Fett Symbol’ ... these banners appear above the heads of Finn, Rey, BB-8, and Han Solo as they enter what we can only assume is the headquarters of some nefarious criminal organization.” — SlashGear

30. “The idea that these banners represent Boba Fett specifically is absolutely within the realm of possibility ... We're banking on it being a suggestion that Boba Fett is still alive. He survived the Sarlacc, after all.” — SlashGear

31. “After they meet “Rose” in a pub, they head to the underground of the pub. I believe Korr Sella, an emissary for Leia, is also at the pub to speak to “Rose,” probably about what Poe Dameron encountered on Jakku.” — Making Star Wars

32. “Thankfully the heroes are in the catacombs below the pub and survive the assault after suffering through some shaking and rumbling. They head through tunnels where they meet some Stormtrooper resistance and “Rose” uses her “special powers” to dispatch them. I assume this means she uses the Force to slam them against a wall or something unless she Jedi Mind Tricks them.” — Making Star Wars

33. “After Rey and her friend get into Maz’s stronghold, Rey gets into a bar fight. Finn is little help ... However, Chewbacca helps sort out the problem, as it turns out a Wookiee at your side is a little better than an ex-Stormtrooper for bar fights.” — Making Star Wars

34. “A short time after this encounter, Rey enjoys a few drinks, and gets tipsy on the pirate ale.” — Making Star Wars

35. “Back at the Resistance base, Maz gives the lightsaber to Leia.” — Making Star Wars

>Anakin built his own podracer, used it toake first place when he had never even finished a race (and no othrr human could do it), built C3p0, and piloted a Naboo fighter all when he was 8 years old

So, he's naturally utracompetent in one area (note, that not finishing a podrace before does not mean that his competence suddenly skyrocketed for the movie, given the demonstrated racers' crash rate), and even in it he cannot keep up without sheer luck if given unfamiliar tools (he doesn't take down a single droid fighter in the control ship battle). That's what makes him a suitable action hero, who has skills to be useful to the team.

Rey is instantly ultracompetent in FOUR areas - piloting/repairs, shooting, unarmed combat and Force, in fact, in every single thing she ever tries to do, and in every single of these areas she matches or overshadows known experts, even when she is EXPLICITLY shown to be an absolute noob minutes before. That's what makes her a Mary Sue.

>Rey had piloted plenty of ships

Fanfic. Certainly her lifestyle could not provide her any opportunities for that.

>was familiar with hand to hand combat

With a completely different weapon.

>and already knew about Luke and the Jedi and the force

I know about Hawking and astrophysics, doesn't make me capable of accomplishing anything useful in that field.

>before she got her powers.
>she got her powers.

Is it some sort of false flag operation, or did you just admit that yes, she's a Mary Sue who got superpowers because a Mary Sue ought to have them, fuck the rules of the universe, unwittingly?

39. “Luke brought a cataclysm to Tatooine soon after Return of the Jedi after he visited Anakin’s birthplace and for whatever reasons it’s changed him... Luke goes mad because he discovers he f***ing can’t control himself. He destroys everything around and kills people with his powers, unconsciously.” — Star Wars News Net

40. “Luke Skywalker is an evil robot who has fallen to the dark side of the force.” — The Daily Beast

41. “Luke reveals to Ridley and Boyega that the Inquisitors — who are indeed actively hunting down any Jedi Masters or Jedi-in-training when Episode VII takes place — are very much connected to the Sith.” — ScreenRant

42. “There’s a huge fight. It’s everyone vs Luke (Luke has his father’s red lightsaber here, so it’s obviously visually implied that he’s the bad guy). This fight is epic as f***.” — Star Wars News Net

>Luke, did I ever tell you I am your father? I betrayed the Jedi code and secretly impregnated your mother, who was secretly married to my best friend, and whose impending death due to childbirth is what drove him to the Dark Side and triggered a galactic genocide followed by decades of tyrannical rule. Nonetheless, I gave your sister, which would also be my daughter, to wealthy royals of a stronghold planet while leaving you with relatives of your assumed father that are, in fact, not your uncle and aunt. I stayed by, though, watching you from afar, waiting for the opportunity to give you the lightsaber of the man I NTR'd, with which he slaughtered children, to you as a rite of passage.

Han does say he hasn't seen Luke in a long time, though not because of the Lightsaber IIRC

>Sticking the knife in further, the review adds, "Abrams' direction is in fact modelled on the sloppiest current action films derived from the world of videogames."

I just realized how weird having Teedos in Commander is now that I've read Rey's short story. There's so much weird shit about it like Teedos being essentially tribal retards not suitable for civilized culture like the Tusken Raiders, Teedos seemingly only being on Jakku, Teedos seemingly making their Luggabeasts using scraps from the Battle of Jakku but using them before that, the Empire even deciding 'hey lets recruit these random retards riding dog things from this planet in buttfuck nowhere'.

In Commander, the description of the Luggabeast says that the riders are Er'Kit, not Teedos.

From what Rey's Survival Guide suggest, Teedo's have never left Jakku.

Oh ok that makes more sense. So in my headcanon filling in the blanks I'm just going to assume the Er'Kit made the Luggabeasts out of leftover scraps from battles while the Civil War was happening on their planet, the Empire then recruited them, then some of them ended up at the Battle of Jakuu with the Teedos taking their Luggabeasts.

>>78412133
Nothing about the DLC is known other than that there will be 16 new levels, 4 new heroes (presumably 1 per DLC), 4 new game modes (presumably 1 per DLC)

And all of it is going to be OT Era.

They're also promising free DLC alongside this, but don't get your hopes up for much more. EA aren't known for their generosity, And Dice are having to come up with more DLC levels than they shipped in the game at launch, which frankly, is embarrassing.

I feel pretty betrayed that I waited a decade for a new Battlefront game, and got it with 1/3rd of the content of its predecessors.

It's not, but I think the problem is they never establish she has any piloting skills at all before she expertly flies the Falcon through Star Destroyer ruins. Even showing her playing the flight simulator game from Before the Awakening would've helped.

Aside from Ben Kenoni and Chewbacca, who could the other 2 heroes be?

I was thinking, if Dice have any shred of care for the fans, they'll add Ahsoka/Inquisitor as lightsaber users. Because if they're going movie-only, it literally means there will be no more Lightsaber users, unless they added Ben Kenobi for some reason, which would be uneven for the villains side.

It will mean that 2/8 (after DLC) would be Lightsaber users.

Thats so fucked up, I feel like adding Ahsoka is their only option to redeem themselves for such a shitty heroes selection.

I cant understate enough how much of a disappointment Dice are. It's to the point where I would love to personally sit them down in a room and lecture them on where they went wrong.

EA made a statement where they acknowledged fan disappointment in the game, but it's not enough. I want to know that Dice knows they fucked up.

Sauce?

Additionally, I don't think it was Dice as much as it was Disney trying to cash in on the movie. Everyone wanted the hardcore OT pandering.

>>78412374
Im hoping for Ahsoka, Inquisitor (NEW DESIGN, surprise us), Bossk, and Sabine.

I expect Lando, Chewie, Bossk and IG-88 because Dice can't into anything that isn't muh Empire.

As for locations, I am fully expecting more Tatooine because why put effort into new locations, right?

I also expect them to have at least 1 space battle, despite previously saying that they arent fun, because they're money hungry cunts.

I figure I might as well ask here too.

I am thinking of giving Empire At War friend for Christmas. I've never been a fan of RTS's, but my friend is. If my friend likes RTS's and likes Star Wars well enough (but is not fanatical about SW), would it be a good gift for him? Basically I'm asking if it's a good game in its own right Star Wars or not.

General public has no idea Anakin is Vader. The people close to him (Tarkin, Yularen) had to guess at it.

Galaxy is a damn big place.
>>
>>78412639
Well, 'we're going for the OT market' seems to be the line with the new battlefront (even though the clone wars were probably one of the best things to come from the prequels if only for the visuals). So I'd imagine they would be hesitant to put him in.
>>
>>78412645
Baby shit for babies.
>>
>>78412617

Considering that random guy from Jakku apparently knew, it's possible that some of the better-informed citizens do, though not everyone.

I think Darth Vader's identity was a secret, though. If it was common knowledge, I doubt that the Rebellion would have just overlooked the fact that their new ace pilot and their greatest enemy have the same last name.

Why? Oh god why? So fucking stupid, I thought this was suppose to be about rebels and bounty hunters, why do they feel the need to add all these Sith peons. I remember reading the back of a lightsaber toy box that said something like "When these two forces of good and evil meet in battle, the clash of their blades echoes throughout the galaxy." and I was like FUCK YEAH. But you know, every time you put cheap lightsaber battles like these in the show it just washes them thinner and thinner. The Inquisitors just feel like they were shoehorned in so they can have flashy fight scenes, as if this is a show for kids.
>>
>>78412645

>>
>>78412692
True, unless they want to have Yoda just Force push everyone, the lightsaber is kind of needed
>>
>>78412513
I can't find source. IIRC, the actual statement was that they acknowledged they made mistakes which led to the game not selling as well as they hoped. I remember IGN did a video on it if you wanna' sift through that shitheap.

And I dunno', I got the impression that Dice genuinely only like the OT, and most of the developers probably haven't looked twice at anything Star Wars for a decade until TFA was announced.

>>78412572
I sadly, paid full price. I'm enjoying the game, but I will not shill for it when it is so poorly presented.

>>78412573
HAH, I wish. You can be killed by a Wampa if you go out of bounds on Hoth.

Nah, just kidding, your character just trips over and "Killed by Wampa" pops on the screen.

>>78412574
Nah. Only other established OT-Era Lightsaber heroes are Kanan and Ezra, neither of which would be nearly as fun as dual-weilding as Ahsoka. Kanan would just be a Luke clone. Ezra would be interesting actually, with his blaster-saber thing, but Ahsoka would clearly be the more popular and desired choice.

>>78412582
I dont think anybody has been able to explain what Dice were thinking when they said space battles aren't fun. Because there's no logical reason for it. Just take Fighter Squadron, put it in space, slap on some Star Destroyers to fly around, a cool planet in the distance, and bam. Laziest space battle ever, but it would have sufficed. And imagine what could be done with some effort.

>>78412586
I was thinking about him. But I remembered the GOD AWFUL NEVER WORKING SABER CLASH feature, and realized it would be hilarious for them to try figure out how to animate Yoda in a saber clash against, say, Vader.
>>
>>78412687
He wasn't some random guy, he was clearly an old friend and ally of Luke and the Rebellion.
Also, I meant that if Darth Vader's identity became public after his death, I know it wasn't before it
>>
>>78412710
>as if this is a show for kids
Where do you think you are?

The original EU had Anakin's identity as Vader public, with him being framed as the only jedi who didn't betray the republic and helped them deal with the uprising.

>>78412710
>I thought this was suppose to be about rebels and bounty hunters
You'd be forgiven for thinking the show would be more focused on the Rebels. That was a big disappointment for a lot of people, that it turned out to be more focused on a much smaller "family", including 2 (now 3) force sensitives.

No idea where you got Bounty Hunters from though. They'll show up from time to time, but I never expected them to be common in the show.

Although technically, with the reveal about Sabine being Ex-Bounty Hunter...

Moreso than Boba the entire point of Greedo is that he's a stupid punk who's in over his head and dies for it.

How do you give him a plot-centric role? It's like how every little person in the EU ended up with this incredibly overly intricate backstory because they were in the original film and thusly they needed developing

She obviously learned ship mechanics from scavenging parts off crashed ships.

As for the force and swords...she wasn't actually any good in the lightsaber fight, it's just that Ren isn't either. And besides, the whole way the Light Side works is it takes the wheel for you if you believe hard enough. It's like when Yoda was trying to get Luke to lift the X-Wing out of the swamp, his whole point was there's nothing to learn, it's not like schoolwork, it doesn't require practice, the training simply consists of "stop doubting yourself and do it, faggot."
>>
>>78413432
That's in line with the original idea for IG-88, it was meant to be a team of 6 or 8 IGs initially in the EU iirc.

There was Embo graffiti in Rebels already so it'd make sense to see him again. Elderly Cad could be fun, too. The rest wasn't very remarkable or is already confirmed to be dead or retired.
>>
>>78413430
Rey or Finn shouldn't have even been in the film. it made sense to have Obi-wan and Luke together, but even then Obi-wan dies partway through. Here we have two main characters and we don't get to know either of them well enough.

Rey was designed to be a mystery that unfolds in the sequels and there's nothing to know about Finn except possibly how someone could be raised in Stormtrooper Indoctrination school and still turn out a nice person with free will.

Is Luke still the strongest force user in Disney canon or will they give that spot to Rey just to stick to Lucas even more?

We have no idea. Luke hasn't really been shown to be too strong at all in Canon. Doesn't help that he doesn't have a proper Master, outside of the week or so with Yoda.

But considering Luke is (presumably) Rey's Master, I doubt she will end up much stronger than him at all.

Stop spreading this meme. Ren is a Jedi trainee from birth, he knows or at least should know how to fight better than some scavenger using a lighsaber for the first time.

The force isn't a power tier wank in the movies.

"strongest" just means "if I pushed an object with TK and you pushed the same one, it'd be a back-and-forth but one of us would eventually win" like arm wrestling, not "I can make a giant storm with my mind" or "I can pull a Star Destroyer out of orbit" or some dumbass DBZ shit.

That's clearly not true. He was probably in his teens when he started demonstrating force sensitivity and Han and Leia sent him to Luke, and we know he never finished any of his training. And who the fuck would he have to practice his fencing against once all the other trainees are dead?

I can probably tell you who Rey is in roughly the same amount of detail.

Luke is a naive, wide-eyed, somewhat whiny kid whose father died a Jedi hero and his aunt and uncle adopted him. He wants to do heroic adventure shit but they kept him sheltered so he doesn't end up like his dad...and then the plot happens.

Rey is an orphan who was abandoned by her family in the care of a junk dealer. She's lonely and a bit cynical and pushy from scavenging to survive in an environment full of shitty petty crooks but still good-hearted. All she wants is for her family to come back for her but deep inside she knows they're not coming, though she refuses to admit it...and then the plot happens.

>POTTERY

As Plagueis expired, his apprentice experienced a monumental disturbance in the Force, which he interpreted as a shift that anointed him the sole agent of the dark side. But he also experienced a sensation of sadness and loss in the Force. Sidious initially feared that the cause of this unease was a sign that his master's experiments had succeeded after all, that Plagueis' spirit had somehow survived earthly destruction, and would return at any moment to exact vengeance on his treacherous apprentice. However, after learning of Darth Maul's apparent death at the hands of Obi Wan-Kenobi on Naboo, Sidious dismissed his concerns, deciding that this was the true cause of the feeling of loss he experienced.

The Lucasfilm Story Group. Disney has no involvment in the story of Star Wars. They basically just make money off of merchandise and put their logo on everything.

>>78414044
>Me either, wrong bodytypes in fanart of my favorite character irk me.

Fanart shouldn't really be restricted I guess, but I just don't get the point. Let's not kid ourselves, 90% of Phasma's appeal comes from how Christie looks. You can draw 90% of SW women with giant breasts, but it really seems pointless here. Don't like that she's a head taller than you and flat? Draw any random twi'lek instead.

George gave Lucasfilm Story Group the name directly when Luceno was writing Tarkin and was asking if he could actually reveal Palpatine's first name.

Probably George's notes, the LSG would never change something George established before selling the franchise. And if Palpatine really had no first name, then the Story Group Woulda' come up with it. But I honestly suspect George came up with it, but just never put it in anything. That happens a lot. Like with the Wookies and their connection to nature, Lucas has treated as fact since ANH, but we've never seen it implemented into canon.

Back to your question though, Sheev was first mentioned in Canon material in "Tarkin", by Luceno.
>>
>>78414167
>Disney has no involvment in the story of Star Wars
Yes, believe all their lies goyim, Disney clearly never effected the franchise so far in any way. It's still going the exact same as it would have without them buying it.

Finally saw TFA after successfully avoiding spoilers all week. Really enjoyed it, but am I the only one annoyed at how little they seem to be planning on revealing outside of movies for now? We've got 30 years of these characters' history, but all the new EU stuff is pre-RotJ only or immediately post-RotJ.

I really want to know more about what the hell has been happening for the past 30 years but it's looking like I have to wait til 2017 for Episode VIII before we'll get any more info.

Disney seems set on leaving the new EU stuck in the Rebellion Era for the next 4 years.

Also did they just kill Han off because Harrison Ford is too expensive for 3 movies?
>>
>>78414971
Because they knew how high the expectations for the new main villain were, so they tried their best to make him look, sound and appear both unique and "Vader-like" at the same time. That's why they casted based Driver for that role. He really killed it.

Harrison Ford's wanted Han to die since Empire. The Carbonite was meant to be a way to write him out in case he decided not to do Jedi. And he didn't die in Jedi because George wanted a happy end and really, it would have made the first act of rescuing him kinda pointless.

Speaking of Phasma. I was amused how before the movie everyone was making a huge fuss about how she was going to be this strong female figure and whatnot, then the movie comes out and she did absolutely nothing except get captured.

I hope she does something more in the next movie, otherwise it's a waste of what could be an interesting character.
>>
>>78415325
Yeah man, look up any of his interviews. Some of them he was flat out saying he hates Star Wars. I know he said he found Han a boring character to play. And yeah, he asked repeatedly to be killed off. The entire Carbonite scene was supposed to be his death, and he was the only member of the original cast that didn't agree to do RotJ. I dont know why he changed his mind in the end. I'm guessing it involved a lot of money. He also never went to conventions, and avoided the fans. Something in common with Alec Guiness I guess.

Anyways, he made by FAR the most money of any of the actors on TFA, and he died. It's not impossible that he only agreed to do the movie because of a huge paycheck, and the promise that he'd never have to return.
>>
>>78415448
>then the movie comes out and she did absolutely nothing except get captured.
that's not true

she displayed her excellent memory skills by saying Finn's number over and over again

She's slowly growing on me.
>>
>>78415082
Keeping Han alive would've been stupid. His arc is finished and he would just be there and take away screen time of the new characters for no reason. His death will most likely give Rey, Finn and especially Kylo Ren more interesting character development and who knows what Leia and Chewie are going to do now? Yes, Ford probably demanded it, but every competent writer would've done it anyway.

I can understand peoples disappointment though, they were kinda' led to believe there would be important things. The only thing of note was the possibility that the force tree somehow affected Poe to help him be a great pilot.

I'm going to rain on your parade and say he was shit

Not even because he was a whiny ass who faps to Vader for ill-explained reasons. I don't like it but I can accept that details have been saved for future movies. It's because he says he's conflicted over the light and dark sides but never does anything good to show it. They dropped the ball.

I don't think people were expecting any big reveals or anything for the movies, but people were hoping we could get some stories that take place outside of the the Rebellion era.

Everything seems so focused around the OT these days. Give us some interesting stories that take place in that gap between Return and TFA, even if they don't feature any of the characters from TFA.

Aftermath was a nice attempt, but they hired a writer with all of the talent of a 10-year old fanfic author, and who had the attitude of one too when it came to criticism.

I liked to think that the dude Poe got the map from at the beginning of the movie was Kanan or something, since I never caught a name in the movie.

Reading TFA's novelization now to see if there's any new/extra info or scenes not in the movie, but so far it hasn't really added anything outside of giving names to a few characters like him.

The prose is atrocious and it reads like a lazy it was written in a weekend with no edits or rewrites from the first draft.

Chuck Wendig wrote it. He hadn't really done anything of not prior. The book was very awkwardly done, written in second-person, and the writing style in general was just really frustrating to read. (That being said, I switched over to the Audiobook, which was really well done and adapted the book to an entertainable state)

The characters in the book were really weak. He was going for a "WWZ: Star Wars style" feel, but the execution just didn't work.

Then there's the LGBT drama. The book opens with him thanking his twitter followers for whom he claims are responsible for getting the job. If that sounds like a red flag to you, well its because it was. There's numerous gay characters in the book. I wouldn't have a problem with this, but it starts getting obnoxious when there's like 3 gay families, and a gay protagonist.

The absolute worst of it however, was the """reveal""" of the gay protagonist. He realized way too late into the book that the only single woman left in the book to take interest in the character was this hardened Zabrak Bounty Hunter, which led to the most awkward exchange ever. Like, Attack of the Clones tier bad dialogue, where she tries to hook up with the dude, and he's like "But, I can't, for I am gay!"

My god it was cringy.

Anyways, the backlash he got, well, this is where things got pretty damn annoying. He was attacked by "The Alliance to preserve the Expanded Universe" or some shit, which is certainly unfair on Wendig. HOWEVER, Wendig goes full retard, making a couple posts on his blog/twitter claiming that a sizable portion of the "haters" were only disliking because he included gay characters, essentially using them as a shield from critisism. This climaxed with him posting an example where he discredited someones completely legitimate review because he found anti-gay marriage posts when lurking the dudes Facebook.

Incredibly immature behaviour.

Oh, and he had a bitchfit on twitter about how he wouldn't do anymore books, a week before he announced that he was 100% on board for two more.

TL;DR - Just a very poor writer, and very poorly behaved, and has created probably the worst book in Canon so far. The only good thing about it, is that it's so uneventful, that it doesn't hurt Canon in any way. It's just kind of there.

>Rey is instantly ultracompetent in FOUR areas - piloting/repairs, shooting, unarmed combat and Force
Force governs all of that barring the droids (maybe?), you don't remember the other Jedi being incredible pilots? And TCW revealed if they pick up blasters they become aimbots.

>Fanfic. Certainly her lifestyle could not provide her any opportunities for that.
You're outright told otherwise in the film. Remember that even Luke fly in his T-16 even if he never left the planet.

>With a completely different weapon.
Shame there's no magical power that can help hone her instincts and form while also in an incredibly potent state from being restored due to the events of a millennia old prophecy...

>I know about Hawking and astrophysics, doesn't make me capable of accomplishing anything useful in that field.
Except the Force is about belief and once she knows it's real and can feel it she is free to try the techniques she's heard about, her belief and the restored balance to the Force fueling her great power.

Author's name is Chuck Wendig and he's the worst writer I've ever seen. He's also an insufferable, loudmouthed SJW who put a couple of gay characters in to use as a shield against criticism, so when people were calling his shit book out for real problems like bland characters and bad prose his only response was something to the effect of "You're all just as bad as the Empire if you hate gays and Star Wars isn't for you". He openly credits tumblr going on a campaign against Disney on social media as the reason he even got the job. He's a cancer and is shitting on the franchise with his terrible writing and pointless agenda pushing.

I just want to add my absolute highlight of the book; Nora.

This bitch hijacks a TIE Fighter, and crashes, believing there to be no ejector seat. You turn the page, and I shit you not; "I guess TIE Fighter's do have ejector seats after all!"

Then later in the book, she ABANDONS her son who goes off to save Wedge Antilles off-screen.

She steals a TIE Fighter, only to discover that the Rebels are obviously going to be shooting at her unknowingly.

Then Wendig pulls the "she dies! jk" card again by having her TIE caught in an explosion as the Chapters cliffhanger.

She is then awarded a medal at the end of the book.

Don't be retarded. He didn't put gay characters in to use them as a shield against criticism, he put gay characters in because that's his advocacy.

Chuck didn't even really use gays as a shield. He acknowledged that some people hated the book because of it (there were people legitimately doing that) but he attributed the criticism to other things as well, like the Alliance to Restore the EU.

That bit confused the shit out of me. Huxley says something about "the effectiveness of a clone army" early on when talking to Ben, but the First Order's stormies are taken at a young age and indoctrinated early on just like Jedi, not cloned.

Fuck was Huxley talking about?

He better fucking not be. I'd rather Rey was related to Windu than him. at least it would explain how quickly she learned to fight with a lightsaber.
>>
>>78416069
There is no real distinction, using them as a shield against criticism invalidates him using them to begin with because the characters do not hold up on their own, they're there to push an agenda, and he clearly just wanted to continue to argue about it on the internet to get more tumblr followers. If you're going to use a gay person's rights as a weapon against people giving you a hard time for other reasons, then the original intent behind those characters is lost regardless. I should also mention that despite not having anything to do with the video game industry, he spent a great deal of time insinuating himself into gamergate shit just for attention and to argue as well. And he tried to link people negatively reviewing his book to that.
>>
>>78416177
You obviously weren't listening. Ben is the one that says the FO should use clones instead of indoctrinated children.

It's certainly the best fight in the series.

I like that Rey and Ben's fight in the forest mirrored it but I feel that Rey and Ben hadn't really, you know, EARNED that poetry, you know? Vader and Luke have a long history of mutual acrimony and ultramurder between them, and of course Vader's Luke's dad.

While sure Ben killed Rey's Han and royally fucked up her Finn, she's already trumped him twice before.

Rey beating Ben feels a little less like Luke raging out on Vader and more like He-Man fucking Skeletor's shit.

Their very different duels, though. This whole "there's real emotion in the RotJ duel!" thing that people go on about is way too simplified. Of course there's more emotion. It's not a physical battle of good vs evil or anything. It's father vs son. It's only about passion.

The prequel fights are about simply Jedi vs Sith. It's a totally different ball game.

The fight choreography in the prequels is mostly outstanding. Yeah, they're over-the-top, but that's kind of the point. Obi Wan/Qui Gon vs Maul is top tier; Yoda vs Dooku is awesome (that's right, I love Yoda with sabers); Obi Wan vs Anakin is outstanding, even if overlong.

>cameos in the anthology movies
Not a chance.

For one, I think they're going to do a decent job keeping the main saga out of the anthologies. But mostly -- which Anthology would Luke show up in?

>Rogue One
Luke didn't enter the story until after the plans were stolen
>Obi Wan
We don't know when it takes place, but it's obviously gotta be before he and Luke team up
>Boba Fett?
I know that's not confirmed by any means for the third one, but why would Luke be there?

And even more to the point -- even if he WAS in there for a cameo, he's 40 years too old to play a 20-year old Luke.

Oh fuck you're right. I'm retarded as fuck.

Point still stands. Unless the Han Solo movie takes place in between 4 and 5 (0% chance of that happening), Luke won't be there.

I honestly think C-3PO is one of the best character designs of all time. It really nails the whole robot-designed-to-be-human thing. It's like a god-tier version of a Cyberman. The eyes, mouth, chest piece, exposed midsection ... man, I love it. And even the new red arm is rad as hell.

The werid thing is that her Gears of War novels aren't that bad, I just hated her star wars stuff with Cadeus. Then again Gears's story wasn't it's strong point so any fleshing out helped. And not that much of a fan of Halo but I hear she pissed them off royally.

>>78417302
It never happened. Saw it while I was doing ROP work. By the time I got enough money to get it, it was already off the shelves. It was part of this series based on Silent Movie monsters (along with the Edison Frankenstein and the John Barrymore version of Mr. Hyde)
>>
>>78417257
This is correct.

Lando is good because it succeeds on its own merits.

Honestly I took the "same for me, big secret" thing as a joke.
>>
>>78417463
It's a pretty meta hint imo
>>
>>78417501
Possibly. If there is a big secret to her, it's probably nothing she herself is actually aware of. I don't really buy the idea that she was part of the Jedi trainees before she got dumped on Jakku (I especially don't buy the idea that Kylo was the one who left her there)
>>
>>78417550
>Kylo was the one who left her there

Good thing I never once said Kylo was the one who left her there
>>
>>78417585
I never said you did, but it's one of the more frequently mentioned ideas around here, usually alongside "Rey was a Jedi trainee"
>>
>>78417377
Her Halo books were like building a ginormous middle finger to fans.

There's a character called Catherine Halsey. She came up with the SPARTAN Program. Before Traviss's novels(and outside of her novels) Halsey has been portrayed as morally grey. She isn't evil, but she isn't exactly nice either.

It's mainly because the SPARTAN-II Program involved kidnapping children from their parents and replacing them with a flash-clone(which would then die soon after) and then training those children to be soldiers and then augmenting them to be super strong and durable. While this is really bad in the long run, the Spartans ended up giving humanity a fighting chance against the Covenant, the evil alien hierarchy that began attacking humanity. Halsey also treated the children like her own, and genuinely cared for them.

Without Halsey, Master Chief wouldn't exist and Humanity would've been annihilated.

In Traviss's novels, she completely takes away the good aspects and makes basically every character, old and new, hate on Halsey and criticize her. She makes a bunch of heavy-handed nazi comparisons and beats you over the head with the idea that Halsey=bad.

Basically, she replaced her Jedi hate with Halsey hate.

Also, her GoW stuff was pretty trash too IMO.
>>
>>78417621
well that's dumb since Kylo never said or hinted to knowing her
>>
So what is the point of Rogue One when the plot of this cartoon pretty much is the same thing? Seems like such a waste. New movie should happen between Jedi and TFA
>>

She demonizes Halsey and transfers her Mando love into ODST/Helljumper love

>>

Not really. The show is focusing on how the Rebel Alliance is formed, the movie is focusing on how they got the Death Star plans.
>>
>>78417737
>So what is the point of Rogue One when the plot of this cartoon pretty much is the same thing?

Rebels is about how the Rebellion formed from a bunch of individual rebel cells.

Rogue One is about the theft of the Death Star plans.

They're two different things.
>>
>>78417812
They could get to that in the show though?

While fans are all up in arms over the lore and politics not being shown off more in TFA
>>
>>78417842
>They could get to that in the show though?
They won't. It was never the point of the series to show the Death Star plans being stolen, and now that Rogue One exists we know it won't be shown. Rebels was always about the formation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic.

This isn't the EU where we have like 7 different people steal the plans and then retcon them all to have only stolen part of the plans or just copies.

>>
>>78416655
They did yes. As is often done they were offered shit pay, this is standard for unknown actors (which they pretty much were) especially on movies that may or may not be successful.

They were offered a cut of merchandising to make their bad pay seem less bad, no one knew the merchandise would be so huge though. This is why Hamil has said "I worked one job and never had to worry about money again." When asked if it bothered him he didn't get any more big roles. He didn't need them, none of them did.

>>
>>78418127
Fox only allowed all of that shit (and let Lucas hold on to the property rights while they only kept distribution rights for ANH) because they apparently didn't expect the movie to be that big- by promising actors and some crew members percentage based cuts, they could keep the cost down and once it became successful they'd make a tidy profit and they'd only need to give these other people a pittance afterward.

Of course, Star Wars exploded and suddenly those contracts meant that not only did Lucas get to keep the rights to sequels, but he and a several of the cast and crew were now soaking up a lot of the actual profit (apparently Spielberg is also involved there through a deal he made with Lucas, where each would get a percentage of the profits of each other's movie being produced at the time, in Spielberg's case it was Close Encounters). Fox has been pissed about their mistake ever since and for that reason they don't allow cast and crew to be paid with gross percentages anymore (in fact I don't think any of the big studios do this anymore purely because Star Wars made them see how badly it could backfire on them).

It's a good thing they got both anyway.

A difference of 3% on RT and 8% does not mean TFA is an objectively worse movie than Fury Road: That's well within the margin of error. Mathematically speaking they might as well be exactly the same.

Oh, and of course there's the fact that TFA has made $200 Mil more and has been out less than two weeks certainly helps.
