So, what eventually happened to Jar Jar Binks? Dubs decides the dunce's fate.

So...what are they going to do with Rex next season?

What arc can he finish?

Im 4 episodes into this show and I cant get over the amount of plot armor the main characters all have.

I know "storm trooper aim" is always joked about but holy shit, storm troopers, turrets, ships, etc can never land a hit on them. Or they just dont shoot at them. And if a hit is magically landed, LOL they have shields.

Im also amazed at how casually storm troopers die on a disney channel show.

I really don't know what happened there. But then again, you see those kids in a special class where the cadets Aresko is screening might have the potential of being Force Sensitive. So it makes sense they might have better aiming skills.

>>81432886
The only part I found disappointing was how they didn't explicitly show the result of the ahsoka-vader fight. If she had survived, we'd have seen her process the final revelation that Vader was Anakin, and we'd get a better emotional payoff; if she had died, we'd have gotten a satisfying, touching conclusion to their relationship. Instead we get some metaphorical horseshit.

At least she didn't become a lumberjack

You know, considering the whole point of Disney's nucanon is to expunge the sins of the prequels, why are there so many constantly moving lightsaber blades?

Wasn't that one of the big problems with the prequels? Lightsabers out the ass, lightsabers fucking everywhere. TFA does a pretty good job limiting lightsabers but they're fucking everywhere in Rebels.

>>81432968
It would have been fine if Mauls story had a good conclusion. He gets tossed of the pyramid because he knew Vader was coming and attacked his allies anyway. He was fucked when Vader came down anyway, even if the battle station was operational. Did he really think he and Ezra stood a chance by themselves? No, it was lazy writing and the payoff was shit.

It'd be cool if Ezra just kinda went away with him for a little while. Have an arc where the crew is looking for him and Ezra is undergoing sith training and kinda realizes it's not what he really wants. That would be cool. What I expect is for Ezra to act like a edgy cunt for awhile and for Maul to job to not! Rom Kota

>>81433118
The only part of Maul's plan that made sense was conning someone into helping him get the holocron. He went full retard on everything else. Even if he hadn't decided to betray Kanan and Ahsoka way too soon, he already fucked up by sending Ezra up alone because he was confident that after having talked for a few minutes and shared a few things about each other Ezra was now going to be loyal enough and immersed enough in the dark side to just go along with the plan. The moment he realizes what the holocron-temple combo will do, he goes "oh shit I didn't want this, fuck Maul tricked me" and that's without Ezra even knowing that Maul had already turned on the others. So Maul pretty much engineered a scenario that had no way of ending favorably for him. He keeps trying to be Sidious but he's horrible at it and doesn't even realize how bad he is at being a mastermind.

Worst part is he got away with it. TFA was a huge economical success and critics loved it, all thanks to Disney's huge media empire. Fuck this gay earth

>>81433288
Okay, well yeah, that's TFA. But that's not what the nucanon is about. Abrams has no control over canon or any input on projects outside of TFA and to a lesser extent Episode 8.

>>81433273

He decided to rush things in hope of gaining control over the superweapon before Vader arrived

> sees vader
> sends Ezra to initiate the process
> kills inquisitors
And if the plan had gone right:
> kills kanan and ahsoka
> "ezra im so sorry, your friends are dead. They weren't strong enough to protect themselves from the dark side"
> uses superweapon on Vader once he arrives
> rules the galaxy with a new apprentice at his side

Of course there are a couple of holes in this plan (like what if the superweapon can't target just one person, or Ezra knows how good Maul is at fighting and doesn't believe he tried to stop the inquisitors)

>>81433288
I was talking to a buddy awhile ago, he said if I didn't like a TFA I didn't like ANH. I love ANH, I hate TFA because it copies it plot point for plot point. It doesn't break new ground, and it kind of makes the OT seem pointless. They coulda done anything, and as long as it was well written it would've been loved. But they chose to make a sequel that rehashed the first movie. I haven't been more disappointed in a movie in a long time.

No. Lightsabers were among the things the prequels did better than the OT.

More or less this. Tough arguably there were some gems in the old EU. But as a whole it was plagued with inconsistency and retcons that weren't retcons but were sorta retcons twice removed on the Solo's side.

Yeah, pretty much. Even his Shadow Collective didn't have a strong foundation because he just bullied everyone into it. The moment he was captured the Hutts bailed on him, and the Pykes and Black Sun were already having doubts about the arrangement because it was clear Maul was just using them as a personal army for his personal problems and this had absolutely no benefit for them.

The only group that was even really loyal to him were the Mandalorians and that was thanks to him exploiting their rule about challenging the leader. The others had no reason to stay with him beyond fear. Sidious and even Dooku both know that fear alone isn't the best way to get minions to obey, it's a handy tool when they get out of line but incentive works better.

>would it be ok if they invented a thingy that slows down his aging?

Not really. I don't think the Kaminoans are interested in altering a mature clone's aging process. Especially a clone who's served the purpose they were paid to create him for. And even if they did know how, I doubt the Rebels would dish out what would probably be an outrageously huge amount of credits just for one guy.

>>81433937
>What do you know about how long humans live in Star Wars

Enough to make a logical assumption that they age the exact same as we do. They outright say that Clones age twice as fast as a normal Clone, and that a mature clone takes ten years to make.

Aging twice as fast says nothing about longevity, anon. That says even less about what their medical technology can do to keep someone relatively active in old age. Face it, anon, your "facts" are uncoordinated.

They don't outright say the clone troopers age twice as fast as a normal clone. They say "a mature clone would take a LIFETIME to grow" without growth acceleration. Since an unaltered clone is just a human, this is referring to the fact that it would take as long to grow a clone to maturity as it would to grow a typical human.

The clone troopers have growth acceleration. Sifo-Dyas placed the order approximately ten years before AOTC. Therefore, the first batch of clone troopers is -- at most -- 10 years old in AOTC. So we know from canon that clone trooper growth acceleration must at least double the rate of development to produce an adult human male ready for combat in 10 years.

For all we know, they may actually grow faster than double speed.

That said, this is a galaxy full of all kinds of very old people in very good physical condition. Most of the ones we know are Force-sensitive, so that probably has something do with it, but it's not outside the realm of possibility that a man in his 70s -- or equivalent -- could be kept in fighting condition with the aid of Star Wars medical science. Tarkin was doing well enough at 60 to go on combat operations to capture a Jedi and destroy a comm tower.

On top of that, the Alliance needs every man they can get. If Rex is the equivalent of a 72 year old man and wants to go on a combat op, they're not really in a position to say no.

I'm not saying Rex IS Gramps. I'm saying he COULD be. The slight difference in skin tone is something they can gloss over; perhaps all that time hiding out with the fleet has made him a bit paler on account of less sun exposure and more artificial light exposure.

watching rebels season 2, I honestly thought I wouldn't like this as much as I do, though it'll never compare to based Fives fucking shit up.

Filoni has more say on the matter than one disgruntled anon.

I hope Vader kills Maul, maybe not in Rebels but just eventually at some point. And preferably in some way that mirrors his original supposed death on Naboo. That way Maul could go out in some tragically pathetic way that seems to be his style, and Anakin's Sith Lord kill count could be bumped up to 3.

Where the fuck did you ever get this idea? No, seriously, where?

You are aware of what got axed and what didn't, right? The purge happened April 25, 2014. The only things that survived are the OT, the PT, and The Clone Wars, i.e. anything George Lucas had a direct hand in.

The prequels are all canon. So is The Clone Wars. They were specifically kept deliberately, not by accident. They didn't try to purge them and "miss" somehow.

The fact that JJ decided to do the whole prequel hate dogwhistle bullshit is because JJ a shit. That's his own damn fault. And I guess it's also Kathleen Kennedy's fault for letting him. Still, the only reason they did that is because they correctly guessed it would make money, not because they're somehow committed to the idea in itself.

>>81434653
I'd rather it be Obi-Wan to do it, but at this point I'm not even picky. Maul just needs to be put down.

I thought it happened in 2013.

>>81434716
A lot of people could have at Lucasfilm. They have some talented enough people. End of the day their original writer dropped out on them and they called in JJ and Kasdan to complete it. They also didn't want to delay production as much as possible. End of the day Kathleen Kennedy signed off on it.

Honestly I think it has more to do with playing it extremely safe, though at the same time I feel, yeah, they didn't have to rip off ANH to do that. The only good thing about the situation is imagining the entire First Order is a bunch of tryhard fuckups just as bad as Kylo's Vaderboo worship. They are probably proud their super weapon was destroyed, just like the Empire's. Their next one will be even cooler! And involve some kind of overly elaborate but still pretty obvious trap!

>>81434872

Nope.

2013 is when it was announced that the Story Group had been formed and was working on reorganizing the canon.

April 25 2014 is when they finally showed everyone what they'd been working on and announced the creation of Legends.

Seriously though Snoke? Out of all the things you could have called your villain you went with Snoke?

>>81434899

It's a little more complicated than that.

Lucas and Arndt were already working on a screenplay, but it kept breaking down around the time their female Jedi heroine got off her shitty home planet and used the map to find Luke Skywalker, because he couldn't avoid taking over the whole damn movie after that.

They were still working on it when Lucas decided that it didn't matter, people would hate it anyway just because his name was attached to it, he should just sell it all because fuck it. So he sold Lucasfilm.

Disney took a look at the story treatment, made some requests as to things to change, and brought in Abrams and Kasdan. Arndt said that given the circumstances, he would need 18 months to produce a screenplay that would be ready to go. Disney told him he had 6.

Abrams and Kasdan decided they could do it in 6, and let Arndt go, then hammered out a screenplay in 6 months. And that's the story of how TFA's screenplay was written.

I know a lot of people who don't like the movie blame JJ, but Kasdan to me was always kinda shit without George to reign him in. I feel like TFA was made with a lot of George's ideas in mind though. Rey especially.

>>81435231

The problem is that Kasdan can write good dialogue and that is IT. That's all he can do. He needs someone else to do everything else.

George is the kind of reckless idea factory that pairs well with that. Kasdan can steer George's crazier ideas a little, while George gives Kasdan material to write dialogue for.

Reminder to anyone doubting Rebels or Ezra's character:

Filoni has the amazing power to create or retcon the most implausible or broken characters and settings and make them compelling and interesting. We saw it with Ahsoka and Maul, we saw it with the Clone troopers, we saw it with Asajj. We saw it with the peaceful Mandalorians. Hell, we've been seeing it with Kanan over the past two seasons. He basically redeemed Anakin into a likeable character, by tempering Movie Anakin with his own flavour of Cartoon Anakin. The man knows how to make you attached to characters and make that attachment pay off.

I have no doubt that by the end of Rebels Ezra will be in a much better place than he is now.

>>81435460
>>81435509
At least we still have Dave and his TCW team. The guys at Lucasfilm are alright and Disney likes them.

>>81435520

TCW didn't get good until season 3. It was sure trying, and it had scattered great episodes in season 1 and 2, but it didn't get consistently good until season 3.

That's the benchmark Rebels needs to meet. It needs to get good in season 3. Hopefully it will.

>>81435509
>People still are shocked to hear how much he did.
Yeah, I still see people who think he just came to a meeting or two and signed off on stuff like he did with a lot of EU projects, but when people say this was George's show, they mean it. He didn't just slap his name on it and call it a day, this was his baby.

>>81435520
>>81435541

Dave should make a movie.

I mean, he made the Clone Wars movie, but that was before he and his team had learned how to properly do their jobs. Plus it was meant to appeal to children. Without those considerations he would probably be better than Abrams.

>>81435585

I have a theory that TCW is actually Star Wars in its purest form.

Think about it.

Movies, as a storytelling medium, are horribly hamstrung by several factors - need to make back money / appeal to a large audience, need to fit within a certain length of time, and need to spend money on special effects.

Lucas wasn't constrained by any of these factors when he produced TCW. It's far more practical to fully animate a show than create special effects for a live-action TV show or movie He was spending a million dollars per episode to make each perfect. He was often sitting in on meetings and getting very involved in every stage of the production.

And he trusted Filoni to do a good job with it when he wasn't there. This factor more than any others makes me think Filoni is our only hope if we want a proper Star Wars movie again. Problem is I'm not sure the guy knows how to work within a time frame and outside of animation. Those could be big hurdles.

Finally caught up. Oh boy. Now I can write my fanfiction AU where Ezra agrees to be Maul's apprentice.

>>81435705

That's not a theory, that's a goddamn fact.

>>81435762

It's not an AU when it's obviously going to happen in canon.

>>81435587

>I mean, he made the Clone Wars movie,

Actually, that wasn't meant to be a movie. It is/was what was supposed to be the show's first three episodes. Fox or whatever just made them cobble them together into a 'movie'.

But yeah, Dave should totally do a movie when/if he gets a chance.

>>81435585

That makes me sad. People shit on George too much, he gave us a lot of things to love.

4 episodes.

And iirc it was George's idea to stitch them together.

It was the early days. George was still rusty and having questionable ideas. Ziro was originally going to speak Huttese, but then George came into the office one day and said he wanted Ziro to speak Basic and sound like Truman Capote, so that's what we got.

can I watch this season without watch 1 and 2 and still catch on?

>>81435923

This was season 2.

Watch Rebels season 1. Honestly, I feel like overall season 1 was better than season 2, even if season 2 delivered some excellent episodes that far exceed anything season 1 offered.

Then watch this season.

>>81435947
Oh only one? I tried so hard to really get into it, since I missed out on TCW fun, but after 6 episodes I just can't bring myself to care about anyone. And as anon said before, their plot armor really takes all the fun out of it. Gee, I wonder if the gang will get out of this mess. Oh they do. ....But then again I guess the same goes with TCW? Not like you didn't know Obiwan, Anikin and Asoka were not going to make it.

>>81435798
Doubt it. Ezra seems to have decided that Maul had some good points but I think he's also decided that Maul himself is a shit.

>>81436013
Yeah, Maul totally blinded and fucked up his Mater/friend/father figure. You think he's going to jump ship and go hang out with him?

Maybe the holocron contains a red lightsaber crystal

Ezra makes another one, Kanan is horrified, but accepts due to limited resources.

>>81436013
If anything I think losing Ahsoka is what may have inspired whatever Sith-like thoughts led him to open the holocron. So he may have taken some of Maul's advice in how he thinks and what he needs to do to protect the people he cares about, but I really doubt he'd fall for Maul's "trust me" act again (especially since Maul has already proven he's actually pretty shitty at it). I think Maul's purpose in Ezra's character arc is just to plant those seeds, not to actually become his teacher.

>>81436043
What if Ezra just learns from Maul then betrays him at the last second? Like becoming a balance in the force. Purple lightsaber wielders are said to use an aggressive style that incorporates both light and dark side teachings.

>>81436059
>Purple lightsaber wielders are said to use an aggressive style that incorporates both light and dark side teachings.
I still laugh at Stover having come up with that.
>Mace's lightsaber is purple... so that means HE MUST BE DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO THE DARK SIDE AND DAYDREAMS OF MURDERING PEOPLE FOR NO REASON

>>81435996

TCW has plot armor in full force when it comes to characters who were in Revenge of the Sith, but absolutely everyone expected Ahsoka to die by the end of the series. For the first season or so, some were praying it would be much sooner; she was an annoying little bit for a while there.

The thing is, The Clone Wars didn't have a central crew to follow. It just told various stories that happened during the war. A lot of these center on Anakin and people he knows, but there are tons that don't involve Anakin, Obi-Wan, or Ahsoka at all. Season 1, episode 5, "Rookies" is one of the best episodes the show ever had, and it focused on a squad of clones stationed on Rishi Outpost during a CIS attack. The only character in this episode that you know for a fact has to survive is Commander Cody. Everyone else is expendable.

It was one of the episodes that got everyone to actually sit up and take notice of TCW. The rest of the season did a poor job of keeping the hype going, but eventually the show figured out what was great about Rookies and how to apply that elsewhere. Episodes that focused on Obi-Wan, Anakin, and/or Ahsoka remained common throughout the show's lifespan, but episodes that focused on characters who really COULD die became steadily more frequent, just because they could do more with those characters.

TL;DR: Rebels is Star Wars family-friendly Firefly, with all that entails. TCW is Star Wars teen-friendly Game of Thrones, with all that entails.

I admit that I was one of these people. But then Ahsoka started getting better each season. And then she left the order (which was something I figured from the begining would happen if she didn't die). And when it happened, when she walked away from Anakin and the credits ended, I sat quiet for like twenty minutes processing what the fuck just happened. That's when you know that you've made good shit when there's a character that someone starts off hating, and by the end of it all they actually, genuinely care about what happened to that character.

Eh. Though that doesn't speak to quality either way.

TFA was as "proper" a Star Wars movie as TPM (using the original film/s as the standard) it just wasn't very good and rarely interesting. Not unlike the TPM and the other two prequels.

>>81436508
>ROTS
>Not being good

>>81432352
Thinking about it, two things:

1. they weren't going to alter Kanan's model to show damage to the structure of his nose, they just did a simple texture replacement to show the burns

2. they REALLY weren't going to show damage to his nose and horrify the children with kanan having a horizontal chunk of his face removed

Definitely a fwiw. People have played up the damage but it's a huge blink and you miss it moment, which is surely how they got it past S&P.

Mostly it's sad to realize the next time he calls members of his crew by the wrong name it won't be (as) funny.

>>81436508
Hell, TPM was a decent enough movie too. Never got why people disliked that one. AotC has the shit romance, the shit dialogue, the shit everything else (only the action is good) - what was TPM lacking? except for the obvious fact that it had Jar Jar

>>81436564
Ian McDiarmid served his ham with a masterful elegance. Otherwise no, I don't think RotS is good or interesting.

>>81436564
Doesn't surprise me, I mean opinions are all over the place anyway especially with these controversial movies.

For the most part I agree with this fairly common assessment:

TFA was a popular movie that had a solid enough plot (even if it borrowed heavily from earlier movies). It was story strong but sorely lacking in world building.

The Prequels are generally considered rather flawed. The stories are weak, and a good way to describe them is having the proper ingredients but with incorrect proportions and overall very sloppy. But it built the Star Wars universe like a champ. Very alien planets, cool ships, cool droids, cool aliens (for the most part), overall a cool setup for the war. TCWs shows that you can take the Prequel Era and tell some damn fine stories in that setting.

Say what you will about Lucas, the man has a damn fine vision. Execution can get out of hand at times but with the right creative team backing him up they did some of the best work in the franchise. I'm sure that'll come off as controversial for some, but for a "mere kids cartoon" it did a lot with the lore, the characters, and even found ways to make the politics largely work.

I'd watch the prequels over TFA any day.

JJ and his entourage are useless sacks of shite at best.

>>81436584
I found the Obi-Wan parts were generally enjoyable, Anakin's was just painful to watch and too often got just plain creepy.

Kamino was very well handled, not too many problems with the dialogue and provided a lot of scenery porn and briefly gave a very convincing look of the clone's creation (the three actors used to show the stages of clone development were a bitch much, should have just left it at two). The scenes in the Jedi temple, however, blah. The missing planet puzzle was so obvious it made Obi-Wan look like a child himself for not figuring it out.

>>81436707

the movie became less stupid after the asteroid scene. Of course it didn't become stupid-free - we still see stuff like Padme jumping around a droid factory - but it became less painful at least

Kamino was a tad boring but the concept of the clones and the Jango Fett chase were good enough to draw attention away from that

What is with the way characters talk in Rebels? It's like every time they open their mouths their entire bodies have to move with them.

Why didn't Ezra start picking up sabers left and right? Spare parts for days. And I guess they're going to have Ezra convinced by the holocron that he NEEDS to be tutored by maul if he's going to have to fight more inquisitors?

>>81436787
I can understand that opinion of Kamino. Mostly I appreciated the view, the scale, and the brief setup for how it was done. The growing vats especially. All those sterile sci-fi columns with little glass bulbs containing embryos. Elegant but creepy.

Lucas had an eye for setting up adverse dichotomies. Inside the complex it was very bright, clean, medical. The Kaminoans were very sedate, serene even. Outside the weather was wrecking ten kinds of hell.

Beautiful and peaceful but also foreboding, threatening.

Rather like the clones themselves. The rows of clean white armor, gleaming in the light, the calm, quiet professionalism - but knowing in the end they were destined to become the first Stormtroopers.

>>81436870
That's how people talk anon. Hand gestures, movements of the head, switching your weight from one door to the other. Very few people just stand still and talk.

More exaggerated communication. Easier to read their intentions, alignments and emotions.

>>81436967
Guess he thought he didn't need it. What I'm wondering is how Vader cut through the lightsaber, handle and 'handguard' without cutting Ezra's hands and/or fingers off.

>>81436981
People don't bob up and down like chickens. Watch any conversation on the Rebels ship, especially Zeb. It's like he's trying to jump out of his chair.

>>81437012
>Zeb.
He is an animal, though.

The expression is exaggerated, and this is because it's aimed at kids. They miss many nuances from mere speech, but they can intuitively read body language.

>>81433782
That I wouldn't mind. I'm not sure how likely it is since it would require a diversion from the usual plot, but I would love an episode where they make a trip to Kamino hoping to help the clones.

Rex seems to be very lucky, a lot of the clones are described like Gregor and Wolffe. Okay Gregor was through some shit, but Filoni has mentioned a lot of them have mentally degraded. Effects of their genetic programming and conditioning, they tend to break down in their early old age.

Basically it would be nice to see the state of Kamino during the time of the Empire. Good to see them forced to do something right from their role in screwing over the galaxy and the Jedi. And just good to see them finally take some responsibility for their "products" and treat them like people. It won't reverse the early aging but just something to normalize it so they can enjoy the rest of the time they have left. Some kind of gene therapy or something.

I realize the Republic Commando novel series explored this, but who cares about Traviss. It's still not a bad idea. Rex and his brothers deserve better.

>>81437040
I guess they don't understand Chopper at all then. I also forgot how animated Zeb gets. From what I remember he does let his shoulders slump until he becomes more active in a conversation. I kinda figured that was just his ego/arrogant speech pattern but maybe it's something all lasats do.

>>81437012
But...sabers for days!

>>81437161
Respect, then? A lightsaber is important to a Jedi, and looting it might be considered taboo among them.

He would just be...recovering them. Yes. Perhaps they could help a new generation of jedi. As long as he doesn't let Hondo know.

THIS IS HOW A SABER WORKS:

(Or at least NEVER fails to be able to answer a saber related question/situation/interpretation presented by the show/books/etc that I've seen)

Plasma encased in a magnetic energy field. Bam, the end. The sabers clashed and the sparking energy you see is the plasma bursting/attempting to burst free as their fields are compromised/warped for brief moments.

I never have any issues applying anything in the works with this interpretation, it answers how they can function just like swords and stay embedded in stuff, the force seem to create on their own when impacting things etc etc.

I'd field anything specific but I'm going to bed atm. I'll check to see if anyone has any thoughts on this though when I'm up.

A lot of the dialog was excruciating and the plot meanders through three planets before eventually ending back on the first one, for pretty much no reason.

People have made an effigy out of the Prequels and let their hate get away from them, but the Prequels are, to greater or lesser extents, not very good movies. As shown by all the EU and New Canon shit that came out of them, the basic ideas were solid. But as movie in it of themselves? Not great.

>>81436584
TPM is a horrible movie. The plot doesn't make any sense, the characters aren't likable, there is no sense of adventure, no humor, no tension and half of the characters are cartoons. The villain is a generic bad guy with no lines and no personality and there isn't even a main character you could root for. The dialogue in TPM is just as atrocious as in AOTC and ROTS and there are so many plot holes that even the most die hard SW fan can't suspend their disbelief when watching Phantom Menace.

The fact that you're defending this piece of shit movie shows that you're a young nostalgia fag who never watched TPM with a critical eye.

>>81438484
But him as a producer would be great.

>>81438484
That was nearly a decade ago, before he and his team had any experience. That movie was also a mess of Season 1 episodes thrown together because Lucas wanted to introduce Ahsoka (and the series in general) on the big screen.

Once he got off his feet, Filoni and his team turned TCW into essential Star Wars viewing, and he is starting to work the same magic into Rebels.

Filoni easily deserves another chance at making a movie.

I know Filoni did concept art for TFA, but I doubt any of it was used. In the Art of TFA book, he drew concept art of Felucia which looked neat.

Thing is though, I don't think Filoni actually WANTS to do movies. I think he and the LSG are happy for him to work in his little bubble of small screen adventures. He actually probably has more freedom that way, and can actually produce a lot more content in a Season of episodes than a movie, and he has previous experience so he knows how to make a Season of episodes work.

So while Filoni "gets" Star Wars, and probably could make a great movie, I think I am happy, as he is, to stay in the realm of tv.

>>81438398
I don't like TFA much either. I'm willing to acknowledge both TFA and the prequels as being somewhat shit.

>>81438535
>I won't leave you again

Jesus christ, Matt is a punk.

>>81433607
Wait, snips didn't die in the last episode?

>>81438568
Yeah, Filoni himself and his team grew very noticeably over the years. I don't think they would have done such a good job back in '08.
It didn't help that they pushed a couple produced-for-TV episodes smushed together into a theatrical release, of course.

I'd be down with them tackling a movie again - something that was conceived and produced as a movie - but at the same time I don't know if he could work his magic in live action.
And I don't know what the market is for a theatrical production of an animated movie in the style of TCW. Seems like a big risk.

>>81434531
just let him make a throwaway SW movie about some unimportant shit and see how it goes

>>81435698
What's the probability of Ezra getting a slight time skip growth spurt to make him look intimidating when he finally duel with Kanan?

>>81438568
Not that person, but I don't think Filoni could direct a good or even decent movie. People here think that being a good story teller or being knowledgeable about the lore does make one a good director, but a director doesn't just have to be a creative person. I mean Lucas himself is a great example.
Did Dave Filoni ever have to direct real actors? Did he ever have to fight with demanding producers? What about building sets, balancing the use of practical effects and CGI and being pressured to make a financially and critically successful blockbuster movie for the masses? For people who might wanna go to see the new Star Wars movie but have never even seen any of the previous films? People hate Abrams for doing exactly what you have to do when you direct a major blockbuster movie. I don't think someone like Filoni could do that. His SW movie would probably be very similar to the prequels.

>>81438724
Why would Filoni agree to do a high profile movie when he has more influence on the SW universe by doing the cartoon?
By creating long-term, nuanced stories he's actually created the bedrock of the nu-canon. You even get the feeling that TFA was influenced by his work in places.

Man that finale was pretty good. Shame Asohka isn't dead. I really wished they'd tie that whole thing up. Oh well, hopefully season 3 she'll finally kick the bucket. Also Maul was really good. I'm a little iffy about him bring back in the game but at least his lines were good and even through his retarded decisions I still couldnt help but think he was the best part. Also I'm glad they made his light Saber sound like it did. Everyone else's sounds so flimsy and soft but his just tore through the air. RIP seventh sister you won't be missed.

>>81438819
You raise valid points.

I think that people want Filoni over JJ because, yes JJ knows how to make a movie, but his movie was sorely lacking in anything new to get people really talking. And also lacking, lets face it, fanservice, that wasn't just winks and nods to the OT.

You're right though, I think a Filoni blockbuster would probably be closer to the Prequels than to TFA, for better and worse.

Also also agree with >>81438827 that he has more influence on Star Wars by doing tv because he can just pump out SO MUCH lore and shit that other creators have to abide too.

I think just about every book and comic released thus far has in some way been influenced by TCW, some of which even influenced by Rebels. And even TFA has some nods to TCW/Rebels thanks to their influence on the universe of Star Wars.

So I think Filoni should just stick to what he is doing.

Maybe if they ever do Live Action tv, they can get him on for a few episodes of that and see what happens, right?

>>81438827
That's fair, of course. He seems to have found his niche, he has appreciable amounts of freedom and a lot of influence at this time. And from the looks of it, less pressure than someone in a high profile, high budget situation like JJ was.
He's already living the dream.

>>81436436
Listen, Plinkett was definitely right about that, but you're missing the forest for the trees. It wasn't that lightsabers and the flippy shit that he objected to. It was that there was no emotional depth to those fights, where in the originals, underneath each fight was a philosophical, or personal battle being waged. Clone Wars and Rebels have the advantage of being a television series firs, and thus do not need to make every lightsaber fight this climactic thing, but when they are big ending of the season fights you get...

>>81438876
I kinda hope Maul and maybe Ezra will preserve the Sith legacy to resurface again in another trilogy after Snoke.

>>81438917
could Ezra be Snoke? The same lifeforce sappy shit that happened to Sheev in episode 3 could have made him look all old and fucked like that.

>>81438905
>>81436436
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7hBZNsPnyg

So theres a ton of flippy shit here. Shit that would never happen in a real swordfight. But there is still a ton of emotional depth and payoff here.

>>81438952
That's a big stretch. I'm still on board with the Pelagius theory. I'd be very disappointed if it's Ezra. I'm getting more and more nervous we're going to see Asokha on the big screen.

>>81438905
Plinkett also criticized the prequels for focusing too much on lightsabers and not enough on the force like the OT did. I too think that introducing new ways to use the force would be more interesting than showing us lots of lightsaber fights, both in the movies and the TV shows.

>>81439022
Why is it so hard for people to accept that Snoke is a completely new character who has never been mentioned before? The galaxy is vast enough for new villains. We don't have to use the same old characters again and again.

>>81439053
The problem is the people who could show that off are either dead or palpatine. Yoda helping as much as he does is a stretch.

>>81439071
Because it makes him even less interesting.
That's why.

>>81439053
>>81439074
As it is the show is doing a lot with Ezra's Force empathy with animals, and some interesting question of why some animals seems predisposed to the Dark Side

>>81439074
You don't have to be a master to learn new abilities. Kylo Ren is still an apprentice and he can freeze blaster bolts in mid air. Why shouldn't Maul or Kanan be able to do other neat things than push, pull and choke?

check the Star Wars facebook, Andi asks Ridley

>>81439022
I just finished the first half of the rebels season 2 finale. Ezra and Maul are the only mouscannon dark side force users I know of who actually hate the Sith. I don't know much about Plagueis other than what was said in ROTS, but from what I understand if he decided to make a comeback, he wouldn't make an entirely new order as he was a faithful Sith.

Maul would be too old to be Snoke, so Ezra does make sense. It probably will end up being Plagueis or some brand new asspull secret Sith character invented for the movies though.

Oh I'm sure he'll be some new OC. I don't really care either way since it's not like I have a say

>>81439121
We don't know what Kylo Ren knew or didn't know before joining the knights. I sorta think a lot of his demonstrated force proficiencies (Energy redirection, Paralysis, mind meld, and push and Pull) were the basics Luke taught his students. All defensive techniques, All light side techniques. But thats rampant speculation, so feel free to ignore it.

Like I said, Ezra is doing new things with the force, and its not exactly brand new, but we haven't had a canon blind Jedi yet. And if you really think about it, this season has done quite a bit that has nothing to do with sabers. It just happens that this finale brings together almost all the forcewielders that use lightsabers left in the galaxy to one spot.

>>81439133
Maul hates the sith only because they betrayed him. More accurately he hates Sheev. If he enacted his revenge then I'm almost certain he'd keep up the old traditions. He still buys into the rule of two and the sith faith.

>>81439133
Snoke is Luke's apprentice who killed all the other students.

Think about it. When Han is telling Rey and Finn about what happened to Luke, he doesn't mention Kylo by name. We're lead to believe it was him, but all we really know is that Luke took on a bunch of new students, one of them turned dark and wiped out the rest, and Luke went into hiding. And it seems like he's been hiding for some time.

Kylo isnt that old, and DEFINITELY isn't that talented or experienced. But he has this new dark side master whom we've never heard of before.

So I'm putting my money on the theory that Snoke was one of Luke's first students, likely his most promising. He turned dark (for unknown reasons) and defeated or corrupted the others. Kylo was only a kid or teenager when he turned, and the Knights of Ren aren't just his lackeys but the original students who fell with Snoke.

Snokes scars are consistent with what could be lightsaber wounds, too.

Seems way more likely to me than some random leftover sith, or some character from a cartoon.

>>81439238
I wouldn't be surprised if they retcon all the jedi temple guards to have been blind to make themselves closer to the force or some other bullshit

>>81439443
It might be that the helmets simply limited their sight, but I can't see the Jesi perpetuating that

I can imagine them regularly undergoing blind training, as the little padawans do.

That's why I don't get why everyone was upset that Maul lost against a blinded Kanan. The latter was trained to fight without sight.

>>81439429
Snoke is much older than Luke. We know that he saw the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Empire. He might even be older than Sheev.

My one worry for lego TFA is going to be length.

The first and second lego SW games had 3 movies to work with, with 6 levels each, for 18 levels plus bonus missions.

Then the Complete Saga (not so complete now) had all 6 movies, with 6 levels, making 36, plus bonus missions.

Lego Clone wars had 6 levels for each boss, plus a final mission where they meet for 19, plus at least two bonus missions that i can remember where you play as the bad guys, for 21, plus mini games.

TFA, from what i've heard, is only going to have 18 total levels, including the Endor bonus levels, the movie itself, and levels showing what happend between RotJ and TFA.

The missions about what happened between, unlock every couple of main missions you complete.

So we'll probably get 10 main missions for the movie, 5 for in-between, and 3 for Endor. Shield Generator assault, Luke and Vader Vs. Palpatine, and the death star run.

I don't know that there is enough movie to get 10 levels of a game from it, unless they stretch it out really thin.

Also characters.

There could be at least 3 Finn's, 3-4 Rey's if not more, 2 han's, maybe 2 poe's, 2-3 Kylo's, etc...

Honestly I would have preferred a SW rebels game now that season 2 wrapped up, giving them time to at least get Rouge One done so that could maybe have characters, vehicles, or DLC story for the game to expand the play time.

I'm cautiously optimistic about TFA, but i'm too jaded to be anything more.

>>81439498
dunno senpai, I really should get up to speed with the good parts of the old EU so I can get all these references and discuss shit with /co/. I've just finished all of rebels (and TCW) so I guess I better make my way through that endless old canon backlog while waiting for new mousecanon to arrive. I've read Knights of the Old Republic, and the story of the jedi going into exile after order 66 (I remember one jedi took a bunch of younglings in hiding with him and they all lived on some uncharted planet). Not sure where to go from here, I've heard good things about the Thrawn trilogy though, is it a good place to start?

>>81439521
We've seen before that when Kanan has no distractions he connects very strongly to the force and lets it guide him in battle, when he fought the High Inquisitor. It may be that his mediocre fighting ability normally isn't the result of being a former padawan who never received full training, but rather a gifted individual who never had the time to master his talent

>>81439594
That doesn't mean he couldn't have bbeen Luke's student. He may not have had any formal training prior to meeting Luke.

The new canon is being very cautious not to overshadow the Holy Trilogy, and having a secret hidden dark side master who is totally just as bad as Palpatine or Vader that no one knew about (IE Maul, rebels characters, Plagueis) kind of sabotage that effort.

Unless he's a clone of Palpatine with some or all of his memories (accounting for witnessing the rise of the Empire and his force origins)

So, what's up with Sith eyes then? What's the background behind them?

Why didn't Dooku really get yellow eyes compared to the other main Sith lords?

>>81440015
The dark side corrupts the body, that's what is happening to the eyes. The yellow eyes only occur during times that the Sith are closest to the dark side. I believe this is mentioned in the commentary on either the DVD release or the blu rays.

If you'll notice, when Anakin attacks the Jedi temple, his eyes were normal Sheev told him after the attack on the temple he would be strong enough to feel the full power of the dark side.

You'll also notice that his eyes go yellow after slaughtering all the seperatists, which would be a huge spike in the use of the Dark side.

They go back to normal when Padme arrives. They are also normal while fighting Obi Wan. His eyes go yellow as his rage and hate fill him when Obi deals what should have been a death stroke, and (my opinion here) he hates Obi Wan even more for letting him suffer.

You'll notice in ROTJ, His eyes are back to his normal colors as well.

As for Dooku, He was a Sith Lord, but I honestly think he was a Sith Lord trying to do right. More of a Grey Sith Lord than a true Dark Lord. He's never really put into a situation where he would have to call upon the full power of the Dark Side. You'll notice even during his duel with Yoda, he appears to duel only to find a way out and run. Same with his Duels with Anakin and Obi Wan.

Now for the Emperor, There is no doubt he is under the full influence of the Dark Side at all times. Once he made his "Change" into his true form, his eyes remain Yellow all the time, but when he was Senator Palpatine, he avoided using the Dark Side any more than he had so that he could remain in hiding.

>>81440015
It's just something to make them look cool there isn't a DEEPEST LORE explanation for why they have different sith eye styles

>>81439631
I played only Lego LOTR and the side content is really big with puzzles and shit. I hope the TFA game would be like that.

>>81440015
Same why Palpatine didn't have them: Cloaking one's Sith eyes is some high-level force magic that they did to easier be the political navigators in the war. Maul, Vader and Palps as Emperor didn't need to do it.

Not really. When you have a bunch of overly-elaborate lightsaber fights just to have them, it diminishes the very emotional depth you suggest is lacking. You're suggesting that these are separate points, but they're not. There's also the simple fact that the "shit's getting real!" aspect is undermined, too.

I also didn't find the Mail/Opress/Sidious fight all that emotionally interesting. Partially because the whole plot was intensely stupid. It was entertaining, but not gripping in an emotional or thematically resonant way.

Which Star Wars villain did the most literally nothing wrong?

>>81440015
The real reason is that Lucas did never care about subtlety at all. For him, evil dark siders have to look like monsters with yellow eyes and burned flesh because a normal looking person can't possibly be evil. Dooku didn't get this treatment because he wasn't really evil in the movies.

>>81440015
It's just a less-than-subtle visual metaphor/cue. You can reconcile inconsistencies with ideas like Palpatine and Dooku being able to control how their corruption showed, but I don't see the point in hunting down consistency with it anyway.
