Just finished the "Battlefront: Twilight Company" book. Average overall, but damn, that Vader vs. rebels scene was chilling.

If only they would do something similar in Rogue One.

>The stormtroopers halted their advance long enough for Darth Vader to claim the vanguard, taking long, unhurried strides like an Imperial walker disdainful of the stings of rebel snowspeeders. He made no effort to find shelter. He held no weapon Namir could see.

>In the back of his brain, a voice told Namir that Vader wasn’t a threat—he was a bogeyman, built and dressed to intimidate instead of fight—yet the front of his mind screamed not to let the armored figure close in.

>“Concentrate fire!” Beak yelled. His voice was forceful but shaking, as if he was trying to convince himself. “Burn the shield out!”

>Vader didn’t hesitate or fall. Instead, something appeared in his hand between the pulses of crimson light and suddenly he was holding a weapon, a blade of coherent energy that danced with a twist of his wrist.

>If Vader had been protected by a force field, it appeared no longer necessary: His energy blade deflected bolts impossibly swiftly, humming and buzzing and crackling as it swept aside a storm of fire.

>Then Vader leapt forward and, in a single motion, landed before Beak and bisected the Twilight soldier with a swing of his blade. For a moment, the air smelled like burning fabric and plastic and muscle.

>Namir was aiming his rifle again when he heard Roja shout an oath. A chrome cylinder just smaller than Namir’s fist arced through the darkness toward Darth Vader: a fragmentation grenade.

>Namir barely had time to hope before Vader lifted his blade and gestured to one side. Toward Namir. Like an obedient droid, the grenade adjusted its trajectory in mid-arc. The events seemed to follow the logic of a nightmare—Vader’s capabilities seemed limited only by their horrific implications.

They're not, if test screening rumors can be believed.

So we skipped 2 years now? Now we're about 2 years before ANH so it's likely that the 'big Rebellion mission' they keep talking about is actually the theft of the Death Star plans. Also now that we know that Rebels will go on for it's intended length (7 seasons) we're almost guaranteed to see later seasons set in the OT.

Put it simply, Vader comes in at the end of the movie and it's dialogue stuff and no action. No idea if he kills anyone though since he doesn't exactly need to fight to do that. But yeah, he's not slaughtering Rebel scum in R1.

Well, anon. That's just the rumor. A test screening rumor no less. Even if it was a proven truth, the mere fact that it came from a test screening means it's subject to change. It's still very possible that me may actually see him ignite his lightsaber to kill people.

Seeing ass Episodes 1-6 are all about about Goddamn Vader, I'd say no one is as important as Vader. Hell even Lucas, when asked about making anything after Jedi said "Star Wars is the story of Anakin and that's done now"

>>85965260
Anything added at this late stage wouild be completly disconnected from the rest of the movie, honestly they could film a brand new scene with Vader being the ultimate awesome villain and it would actually only serve to drag the film down because it obviously wouldn't belong.

You can't just slap in awesome at the last minute and hope it fits. It would be... well. It would be as unfitting as everything in the special editions.

The testscreen rumors have been around since late spring. This shit is very old news. And reeshoots happened a couple months ago. From when those testscreen rumors happened, they had plenty of time to add Vader shit during the reeshoots. It wouldn't at all be last minute.

> It would be as unfitting as everything in the special editions.

Except everything did fit. With the exception of the 'Nooo' they added before Vader threw Sidious down the elevator shaft.

That's more or less what I'm expecting. We know, at the least, that Krennic's motivations for the movie is to make sure that there's no excuse for Vader to show up under his watch. So, if he survives, we'll hopefully see Krennic rightfully scared to shit of Vader.

>>85965582
Well, given that it's just a testscreening rumor, there's still very much a possibility of an action scene with Vader.

yeah we needed that frog burping, or the terrible song, or the extra fifteen seconds of ESTABLISHING SHOT of Mos Esley, or poorly modeled Jabba and Boba Fett showing up for no reason or Han's neck snapping to let his entire head move tot he side and then reattaching itself.

I agree with your assesments though, no arguments.

>>85965863

>>85965863
Yub-Nub always sounded like something out of Sesame Street for some reason. At the same time, Victory Celebration always felt out of place.

That said, I have a soft spot for Lapti Nek. Snit can wail a pretty mean flute.

>>85965833
Lapt Nek sounds like a literal remix of a relatively known 70s or 80s disco song. It's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't quite pin it.

That said, now that I've heard Lapti Nek in its entirety (it was in Battlefront II and I had no idea what the fuck I was listening to) I actually prefer Jedi Rocks. It's a little more timeless and can't be as easily dated as Lapti Nek. It's also a lot less all over the place.

Yub Nub = Victory Celebration

Lapti Nek >>> Jedi Rocks

>>85966009
>Victory Celebration always felt out of place.

How so? I thought it was a perfect celebration/"end of the saga" song.

>>85966009
Yub Nub really fails to underscore the significance of the Rebellion's victory. Even watching it on Youtube gives off a wave of secondhand embarassment and awkwardness. I can't even imagine how it must have felt like in theaters, after such a climactic battle, to have gotten... well, that. Victory Celebration washes you in the bliss you're supposed to feel.

>>85966037
Lapti Nek sounds more alien, and in a palace of a Crime Lord Space Slug surrounded by aliens, it fits

>At the same time, Victory Celebration always felt out of place.

It felt anything but that for me. I thought it helped portray that the biggest evil of the universe was defeated once and for all, and that alot of what the heroes fought for had been won.

Of course, we know by the time of TFA that this was only half true (I'm referring to the latter, of course). But yeah, the special edition version was very much fitting for me. It even sounded like it was made back in early 80s. Like it was part of the original score.

> I have a soft spot for Lapti Nek.

That's cool. Nothing wrong with that.

I understand that, but it clashes with the overall feeling of the environment and kind of takes me out of everything. Jedi Rocks has much better sound and direction.

I can also easily sing and move to it. Lapti Nek I'd have expected to hear in the Outlander Club on Coruscant in Episode II.

>>85966283
I find the exact opposite. I would expect Jedi Rocks on Coruscant, seeing as how it has a temple full of Jedi on the planet, the singe would have a more obvious source for the song name.

>>85966498
You're thinking a little too in-universe citing names when we're discussing the feel of the songs themselves.

>>85966569
Even the feeling of it. It has the sort of jazzy tune I expect to hear in a seedy bar in the underbelly of a city.

>>85965824

>> or the terrible song
>The one Sy Snootles and the honey comb monster sings? The original wasn't any better.
like most changes in the special edition all it really does is pad run time, it ends up making the whole scene forty or so seconds longer, and introduces us to some of the worst CGI ILM has ever made. The only real positive to the scene is that we get the extra bit with Femi Taylor back in the Oola costume and make up and she looks even better than before (rrrowr)

>>or the extra fifteen seconds of ESTABLISHING SHOT of Mos Esley
>Literally nothing wrong with that.
It needlessly pads run time while adding nothing, not only that but it ends up being a redundant "look aliens!' shot when the whole thing leads to the Cantina which was made for "look aliens!" shots

>>or poorly modeled Jabba
>It wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible.
The worst example of CGI in the whole series. Aside from needlessly extending the movie it too is redundant and takes focus off of our main character Luke. We already had a scene of Han talking about his money problems with Jabba, we watched him kill a "man" over it. We don't need a second scene talking about the exact same stuff we just saw.

>>85966127
>>85966152
>>85966176
I dunno. It always felt underwhelming considering the moment. It fits better than Yub Nub, but it still left me wanting something more grand. Then again, maybe it's just me expecting something as big and bombastic as 'The Throne Room'.

I thought it had the perfect combination of action, suspense and drama. Otherwise, It would've gotten stale. But then again, I loved Tarkin from beginning to end. Especially the moments Tarkin recalls his youth. People called it boring but it humanizes and gives great insight on why he became the man he is/was.

>>85968658
I was really hyped for the book and with the name like "lords of the sith" may expectations were elsewhere. also I think it would have been better if when it all ended sheev revealed that it was all part of his plan.The resistance came off as shitheads so it would be a nice touch if sheev had allowed some things to happen for PR and to flash out the traitors.maybe did do it but I would have liked it spelled out more (even if it would be bit of a sheev wank)

It was pretty clearly all orchestrated by Sheev. Maybe everything didn't go exactly how he wanted it, like getting stranded in the woods, but throughout the book it's heavily hinted—I think he even explicitly says so multiple times—that he wanted to both draw out imperial traitors and make the rebels blow their load prematurely before they could build up a sizable force by acting as bait.

yep the big hint for me was When they jump out of hyperspace and he takes a moment because he sensed something but I really would have liked him and vader to talk about it, maybe in the "power of the dark side" way. maybe even few notes on the public reaction to the event.

I don't know about a PR thing, but everything that happened did so because he allowed it to. It was all his plan. To rout the Free Ryloth movement by using himself as bait (forcing Cham to roll out and spend his full arsenal), to expose traitors within the imperial ranks selling intel (Belkor) and, above all, to test Vader's loyalty. Almost everything that had transpired had done so according to his design. It was the Endor play done right.

I meant he explained his plan to Vader at the end. He didn't tell the public jack because that kind of ploy would seem too insidious for his kind old man persona that everyone believes him to be.

The "kill everyone order" was in character but I still wish the writer had found a way to write around that, just because I personally don't care for "everyone dies" endings.

>>85969247
>its lip service. its not like he will lead people or have any real power
you say that now, but in two years when he's able to fend off Vader and is the person that set up all of the Rebel bases after Yavin you'll look back on your comment here and shake your head and wonder how you could ever have been so naive.

>>85969963
>fend off Vader and is the person that set up all of the Rebel bases after Yavin
no that is not true, that is impossible

>>85969984
He won't.
Here's how Thrawn will meet his end.
A Rebel will infiltrate the Imperials, and rise through the ranks because they're a good guy and the good guys are the only ones that can be shown to be competent unless they're a main villain, and only then if they're not a new character.

Anyway, this rebel will rise through the ranks and eventually become Thrawn's attendant and will kill him or work his down fall from the inside, therefore the Rebels will have outwitted the tactical genius Thrawn. The rebel character will then also be presumed to be dead, but that won't really matter because he was only made up for this purpose.

I believe Dave and Pablo have said it before. Either on Twitter or in interviews.
>What will they even do for three more seasons after this?
Probably show the transition from little skirmishes and searches for resources to full scale battles and taking over entire worlds for the Rebellion. I could easily see the final season (assuming they skip some years here and there like they're doing with Seasons 2 and 3) showing how the war slowly ended in the final year right before the Battle of Jakku.

>>85971574
Probably showing Ezra and Kanan as the rebellion picks up momentum. See some characters come and go(I'm betting Rex is going to kick it by Endor), and new faces get introduced, and play on the conflict with Ezra being seduced by the dark side.

All the way up to Jakku, with some climax. Like, I dunno, Bendu Kanan fighting Sithed up Ezra?

At any rate, what will probably actually happen is Thrawn will be Vader 2.0.

He'll show up, be an unstoppable badass for two episodes, then dispatch an Inquisitor or three and disappear until the season finale. The Inquisitors all die, especially the waifuable one. Governor Pryce probably dies. The Rebels think they win, until Thrawn shows up with a Gravity Well equipped Star Destroyer and a massive fleet. Then a "To Be Continued..." to tie into the start of Season 3.

You're right, it was all a test for Vader too. There are several moments Vader has where he regresses into being Anakin. His compassion, his memories of ahsoka, the Clone Wars, Padme and saving the little Twliek girl.

Dave and Pablo have said. Something else said recently (by Freddie Prinze Jr. on his Twitch) was that Rebels doesn't get picked up season to season, Disney picked up the show in it's entirety, so Dave obviously has his story planned out and is allowed to see it through, meaning no (foreseeable) cancellations.

You have to admit that the evidence so far is pretty fucking sketchy.
The timeline and their appearance makes it not guaranteed in the show.
Deleted scenes or concept art aren't canon.

What are some other hybrids? The Moncal/Quarren one makes sense since they evolved on the same world.

As far as I know, hybrids don't exist in Star Wars. They'd be very common if they did.

There are new things introduced with every new piece of material anon. From TCW to Rebels to the new films, there's always something new in Star Wars. Just because you've never seen it before doesn't mean it's uncommon to the universe.

>New Races/Species don't exist, they would be very common if they did
What sense does that even make?

>>85973298
Yeah, yeah.
I'm just saying that it's retroactive. Like they were intended to be his kids, then they forgot about the timeline, then they made the old husband a human to keep it consistent.

Since twi'lek females are literally made for sex, why aren't there more hybrids?

What are some other human hybrids?
Once is always a coincidence, evidence-wise.

>>85973272
"Word of god" from the Lucasfilm Story Group is canon. They've directly stated the kids are Twi'lek/Human hybrids. That's not sketchy in the least little bit.

>>85973353
Other races/species can be hidden because we've always been told that the galaxy is a big place. Again and again, the galaxy is a big place. So it makes sense that there can be a common species that we never see.

But hybrids would occur anywhere where there are humans, and since 90% of Star Wars stories involve humans, hybrids should be fairly common

>>85973272
Are you a Star Trek fan by any chance? Would make sense if you are since the shit you're shouting about not being canon is absolutely retarded.

>>85973357
>Like they were intended to be his kids, then they forgot about the timeline, then they made the old husband a human to keep it consistent.
You don't know how the story development for that episode went, that's pretty ridiculous conjecture.

A clone deserted and met a woman and raised a family with kids that are not his own, which happen to be Human/Twilek hybrids. Somehow that is far fetched for you in a fantasy about space wizards with magical powers, among other things.

What do you mean? The authors who wrote the original book in the eighties, nineties, etc.

Those authors had to use existing character traits for pre-existing characters. They had to write the trilogy characters as they were portrayed in the movies.

>>85975443
Almost everyone in the Story Group has been working in Lucasfilm prior to Disney even happening to them. They were all brought together into the Story Group to consolidate the stories and make them all fit. They oversee literally everything in the Star Wars canon, to the point where they had JJ come to them to ask him about things he wanted to put in TFA and they had to say yes or no to it. Story Group has fingers in literally every pie and they decide on everything.

>>85975332

No, Lucasfilm is still in control. And we know that the film crews are in contact with the Story Group to keep things from contradicting.

Energy based shock riot sticks. Lightsabers have been weak against energy fields for over ten years now.

it's why I keep bringing it up

>>85976204
Yeah? And Luke has a canon force kick ability with a delayed reaction to his target. You can't even see the point of contact so for all you know the energy rides along the length to fend off the lightsaber just like Anakin found out against a Magnaguard in Episode III where he also tried to strike the middle of the weapon away from the energized tips and was deflected.

>>85976342
Well you misfired, but all I see is the arm in the way and a huge glow. Hence you don't see the actual point of contact, even if you know where along the length it hit. AND ONCE AGAIN

things happen in movie production, mistakes happen, and those are legitimate errors. See, once again, Luke kicking that dude on Jabba's barge.

And again the energy traveling down the length of a weapon regardless of the energized ends has been shown before in Episode III. That tech existed over 50 years ago in-universe. So big whoop.

>>85976204
I think it's obvious the choreography didn't take it into account, and we're triggered by it because we care for hating Star Wars.

The lightsaber didn't make contact with the energized part of the baton on film, but it did in universe. Just like Luke probably did kick the dude on the sail barge, but didn't on film. It's ridiculous to think that this was intentional.

The text is surely a bit much, sarcasm won't help. But this is an older debate than Episode VII. I remember there were theories that the weapon destroyed in TCWs is because Dooku wouldn't give his personal guards weapons that were 100% effective against himself.

>>85976510
>The lightsaber didn't make contact with the energized part of the baton on film, but it did in universe.
Since the start it's been said that "what is in the movies is what is canon" it was always the highest level of the canon, back when it had levels. It's why dumb ass shit like the "force kick" exists, it's why Leia's only force ability to remembering things she never experienced and she gets literally nothing else. Ever since the first movie people have been making excuses to make what happens in the movies make sense with each other.

So just saying "oh well in the REAL canon, which this isn't, it happened this way" is pretty fucking funny to me.

Anakin again this time striking right next to the Magnaguard's hand. He cuts the droid in half a moment later.

It's possible they hadn't 100% decided at this point. George specifically requested non-lightsaber weapons that could stand up to lightsabers. I remember for awhile The Wook had them made from...not cortosis, but i think phrik? It's been years since we've discussed this in /co/ Star Wars threads.

Guess what failure got him kicked out to the unknown reaches.

>>85976683
I realize that most of the time we get in-universe explanations to explain everything, but stuff like the brief part of choreography in a second fight scene really is pushing it.

Has fun as explaining away is, we can either treat them as errors until they're addressed in whatever manner Lucasfilm chooses or come up with explanations ourselves. In this one specific case, I choose the former. The contact was held in the scene for 4 seconds. I'm don't see the point of getting bent out of shape over it.

>>85976780

he's going to defect to the rebellion and then die heroically.

I use all of it to show that lightsaber pikes should be a thing, because spears and polearms have always trumped swords, and it's time for shithead Jedi lightsaber fellaters to learn their goddamn place.

>>85976835
Nah, that's Kallus. Thrawn is gonna die at the end of S3, Ezra's gonna kill him out of anger, then his journey will be complete.

>>85976774
It's possible George hadn't 100% decided yet. He is the one who requested the weapons and approved them. We have the clip of the guy working on TCWs talking about how by season 2 the directive was no metal should stand up to lightsabers, so it's possible he did indeed just not decide.

If he saw this and approved it this suggests some possibilities:

1. he was initially fine with certain metals being lightsaber resistant.

2. he wasn't fine with it but didn't care because he didn't think it would matter in such a frenetic scene. This would further suggest that he either underestimates the fans willingness to freeze frame everything and debate what we see as inconsistencies and/or he's less autistic than people claim.

Or he could intend to fix it in a later Special Edition. Or he is actually just fucking with the fans on purpose knowing this shit drives us crazy.

>>85976835

to add to this there is no way the thrawn in outbound flight can turn into the thrawn in the thrawn trilogy. the vong thing was a poor excuse.

>>85976908
Not like Thrawn has to die specifically. He could get reassigned. At the very least his boasts of dismantling the rebellion piece by piece doesn't pan out.

I mean he COULD still do a shit ton of damage and seemingly defeat them, but ultimately the Rebel Alliance (which doesn't yet exist) will form, so the most he could do is delay the inevitable uprising.

No matter what happens Thrawn WILL ultimately fail, no matter what. He could actually win every fight and still the rebellion won't stop.

>>85976908

eh, pretty sure thrawn knows ezra is a loose canon and wouldn't put himself in a position to be murdered by someone with force powers.

We're a bit heavy into arguing at the moment, so I don't know if this is a good time to bring it up or a bad time.

It's not really a complaint, as such, but I'm rewatching TFA and enjoying the idiotic Hollywood tactics of the First Order despite them supposedly relying on elite, highly trained troopers because they have such smaller numbers than the Empire had access to. They want the map to Skywalker so they don't just bombard Lor San Tekka's village from orbit, but neither do they just surround it and force a surrender. Instead they land in craft that only open at the front so the troops rush headfirst into direct enemy fire instead of out the back so they can use their own craft's amor as cover. LAATs at least let you disembark from the sides and you have ball gunners to cover you.

They didn't even send a recon ticket first to detect things like Poe's X-Wing. Instead it's spotted and then only TWO dudes charge it. This is most certainly not the elite fightin' force of the First Order that's superior to Imperial Stormtroopers they swore it would be.

>That issue in the comics where Sheev blows up an entire building of people just to kill 6 rebel spies

>>85977437
The First Order's MO seems to be to do everything the Empire did, only bigger- and that seems to include mistakes. Starkiller Base was already a really bad idea and they not only failed to learn from the weaknesses of the first two Death Stars, but they made the same mistakes on a larger scale. Also how stupid is their crew if they didn't notice that the shields had been turned off until a bunch of X-Wings suddenly show up?

I can't fault the stormtroopers for falling victim to, well, stormtrooper syndrome though. No matter how elite or superior they're meant to be, they're pretty much doomed to fail against plot armor.

>>85977608
>Also how stupid is their crew if they didn't notice that the shields had been turned off until a bunch of X-Wings suddenly show up?
How do you know they didn't notice?

>>85977608
On paper, the Starkiller Base works though. Reminder: the X-wings were getting shot down in droves. They alone didn't have the umph to blast open the armour shell.

If Han and friends hadn't blown the exhaust port, the mission would have been a failure, the Starkiller would have fired again, and the Resistance would have failed entirely.

It also got rid of one of the weaknesses of the Death Star. That being that is HAS to be in orbit around the victim planet before it can blow it up. Imagine how short Return of the Jedi would have been if the Death Star 2 sniped Yavin 4 from three or more star systems away?

>>85977673
Nobody bothered to turn it back on, for one, so that alone implies nobody realized it had been turned off. Worse though, when Hux and the crew see the X-Wings and start losing their shit, you can hear one of them go "SHIELDS UP! SHIELDS UP!"

Here's more of a massive security failure: the entire reason the Resistance has schematics of Starkiller Base is because Snap Wexley and his team apparently flew all the way to it right after the Hosnian massacre, got close enough to get a full detailed scan of the entire thing, and flew back to D'Qar without the First Order ever noticing.

>>85977748
>Imagine how short Return of the Jedi would have been if the Death Star 2 sniped Yavin 4 from three or more star systems away?
I get your point here, but just to play devil's advocate:

The Rebellion leaves Yavin right after the medal ceremony (Leia comic, a couple of books). Even after ESB they didn't have a real base planet anymore, and the Alliance High Command was sticking to secret meetings on various planets or on Home One. Not until the NR is formed do they have a base planet again, which is Chandrila for the start.
It also would have been against Palpatine's keikaku boner to just shoot the laser from lightyears away just to kill the Rebellion. He wanted to make an example of them and draw them into a draw, which is did until it all went wrong.

>>85968605
Should I take that as a no? Is the graphic novel that bad?

>>85977856
>into a draw
into a trap*

>>85977748
>Reminder: the X-wings were getting shot down in droves. They alone didn't have the umph to blast open the armour shell.
True, but an entire chain of security failures let Han and Chewie get in there and plant the explosives, lower the shields without anyone realizing it had happened, and allow the X-Wings to show up to finish the job. On paper it works, but all it took for Starkiller to get its shit pushed in was for the entire crew to come down with a sudden case of complete carelessness.

>>85973707
But he's going to be a jobbing self-parody of his former self because Disney is a retarded money-grubbing pile of shit and won't fucking DARE to write anything that would jeopardize their 'ten-year-old boys' market.

It would have been more merciful to let him die.

>>85977608
The best part is how despite needing intel from the village they march in their troopers who start shooting indiscriminately and even send in fucking FLAMETHROWER TROOPERS. You FO guys are the absolute worst at intel retrieval. I mean I hope the Empire remembered to interrogate the Jawas and Owen and Beru before burning them all down. I guess you never know, though!

The thing I love is what is in the background material that never made it on-screen. Like the FO has actually SOLVED the problem of unlimited energy. With their Quintessence they could create an ever-expanding, ever-lasting Empire beyond Palpatine's wildest dreams. The New Republic could never compete with that. Instead they use it to build a giant planetary gun that not only causes extravagant overkill and waste to the target but also requires they destroy a local star to power it. Incredibly wasteful.

And the idiots didn't even relocate their base despite having Finn's file so they should know that he knows where they are parked. JJ is not known for making bulletproof scripts in terms of logic. Not that we aren't used to things not making 100% total sense in Star Wars, but TFA had some doozies.

They don't ruin the movie for me. I find them fun nitpicks that make the FO seem like a bunch of children playing a game of empires and totally failing. Not that Luke fares much better, though so far we don't really know what happened. It's probably best left mysterious.

Disney have no involvement in the show's writing.

Remember the descriptions of the yet-unnamed Fleet Admiral Gallius Rax at the end of Aftermath, and everyone thought that was going to be Thrawn?

Maybe Disney will ruin Thrawn. I don't think so, but I acknowledge the possibility. But I am soooo glad Wendig didn't get his mitts on him.
