>>87698337
The Han Solo poster was one I threw in months ago back when I was giving everything an image, including stuff with no official covers. I had Filoni's Ahsoka art for the Ahsoka book for example. Now the Solo movie is the only one that doesn't even have an official placeholder image, so it sticks out. I'll have to change it next time I post the image.

The Rogue One image was just a mistake I forgot to change.

>>87698329
Ezra's Gamble is fun, and Servants of the Empire is actually surprisingly engaging. They're fun enough and quick reads.

However Adventures in Wild Space I am less sure of. I only read the start of the first book, and it felt way more dumbed down and "kiddy" than the other books. First time I felt a bit embarrassed to be reading a Star Wars book. Maybe I'll pick it back up when there is nothing else around.

This is excellent. Once again your work is appreciated. This is easily the best layout too. I'd stick with it

Only comment though is that I feel like its kinda pointless to have "animated spinoffs" and "live action spinoffs" when you can just merge them. Its not like there are any animated movies planned

Thoughts on the Legends explanation for the theft of the DS plans? It seems convoluted at first but in hindsight it's pretty neat. One of the retcons I feel worked out desu.

I actually prefer the legends interpretation because it feels more realistic that the Empire would separate the Death Star's schematics and send them to different Imperial instalments. It makes the destruction of the DS even more meaningful because there's been an active campaign by the Rebels like Kyle Katarn, Bria Tharen, Biggs and Leia to find all the pieces.

It feels a little too simple, convenient and "Hollywood" that all plans would be on only one physical datatape ripe for the picking. So in hindsight I like the original idea more, but the film may change my mind. I'm looking forward to learning more about Galen the designer and his relationship with Jyn more than most, he seems like a unique character.

>>87699934
>Thoughts on the Legends explanation for the theft of the DS plans?
I'll be honest, it was fucking stupid. The simple fact is that the EU told multiple independent stories about the theft of the plans, with each one supposedly being the linchpin to the Rebel Alliance. About 6 different individuals AND groups stole the death star plans. The retcon doesn't make it any better when each one was supposedly the catalyst for the opening of A New Hope.

I am not against the idea that the plans would be split up. But it wasn't planned that way, and the narrative suffered because of it,

why are there no comics releasing this week?

>>87699934
The problem with this is that it was never intentional, nor was it even official. As it stood in Legends, there were several contradictory explanations for the plans being stolen. The idea that each was actually one component of the plans and they needed all of them was just a theory to explain how all these separate plots could be true at the same time, but it was never actually an official explanation.

The reason it's worse to have separate plots is because it means the Empire's security consistently failed to protect the same project 5-6 times.

Can anyone give me a good reason to keep Poe Dameron on my pull? I tend to forget each issue straight away. It's not that it's bad, it's just plain vanilla, and with Marvel sometimes hiking the price up to $5 for some issues I'm wondering why I'm still bothering. I liked Soule's Lando series, and I guess I expected the same from this one.

I do like Noto's art though.

I agree it was convolotuted and messy but concept was neat and the explenation Leland Chee gave in the end was good. But yeah, they really shouldn't have made so many different damn stories about it.

My favorite is probably Bria Tharen given her sacrifice is a good catalyst for Hans resentment for fighting for a cause and the rebellion. So that turned out to be I think the best one in the grand scheme of things.

I have a feeling Jyn and her family's story might top that though, I'm excited to read catalyst.

>>87700232
Good to hear, if anyone else is still getting the "undecrypted file" error with the pdf, let me know.

>>87700189
I can't justify keeping it there. Poe's a pretty bland protagonist and the book seems like it's just going to continue treading water and not doing anything really substantial. Part of that is just the nature of the comic being a direct prequel to TFA and likely not revealing a lot because some revelations are probably going to wait until Episode 8, and part of it is just that Poe having no real story means the book has no real hook.

Would you rather be reincarnated as a Stormtrooper or a Jedi?

If you choose a Stormtrooper, you're going to be reincarnated onto the Death Star five minutes before Luke blows it's exhaust port. You don't know how to fly a TIE, and you can't warn anyone about about the station's impending doom. You'll have a droid with you that can get you off the station, but only if you swear to be his bitch for the next 10 years.
You cannot blast the droid if you make it off the station.

The droids you can pick from are a Protocol , an Astromech, or a Probe droid.

You're equipped with a blaster and some slicing equipment.

You cannot slice the droid.

If you chose Jedi, you're dropped into the Jedi Temple five minutes before Anakin marches up the steps with the 501st. You can't fly a speeder, and you're only gonna be about 12 years old, so no Jedi Master or Knight will seriously look into your concerns. Only a handful of other younglings will believe you, and they'll help you in anyway they can.

You can take with you: one 12 year old youngling, two 10 year olds, three 8 year olds, (and so on).

You're equipped with a lightsaber and a hydrospanner.

You cannot ditch the younglings if you escape the temple, and you must care for them the way you would a brother or sister.

If order 66 and the slaying of Sep leaders didn´t happen.
Who would win between the republic and cis?

According to the super tactical droid from the last battle, the cis only had about 23.8% chance to lose.

Okay, I'm going to be blunt here. I dabbled in the EU before it became non-canon, mostly enjoying the jedi vs sith stuggle of the old republic and the likes. Is there anything that is canonical now that is worth the time to invest in if you are mostly interested in jedi/sith lore, or are we still stuck in the loop where everyone is just establishing lore for the rebel bullshit and filler between each of the first three movies.

And as much as maul is a neat character, I'm personally sick of him because he became a literal mary sure that will never fucking die. So not super intrested in the new maul comic that's coming soon.

No. Some things give you very small kernels of info about ancient Sith and Jedi history (and other things unrelated to them), but it's never the focus. Really, apart from a couple comics, anything pre-TPM is for the most part unexplored as far as published media goes.

Canonically, Lucasfilm might have a shit-ton of it planned out for all we know thpugh.

The Jedi/Sith conflict is spread out throughout all the canonical material. Some materials have more lore on the subject that others, but there isn't one series that I would point to that focuses specifically on their conflict.

Maul may be stubborn, but he loses all his big encounters, I wouldn't call him a mary sue when he constantly gets knocked down. His new comic is set before TPM.

>>87702787
>>87702827

It's been a year and no one on this shithole of a place knows what a Mary Sue fucking is.

>>87702762
Nah, it's like the U.S. election. Hillary had a 95% chance of winning before result day, then it went to a 90% chance of Donald Trump winning over the course of 6 hours.

>>87702903
Yeah okay if living through getting bisected on "pure hated" isn't literal mary sue garbage then you can fuck right off. He can "fail" as many times as he wants but he needs to go the fuck away, he is past his prime and outlived any relevance he once had, just like stan lee. Stop giving maul any kind of plot importance outside of his first death, anything prior is neat because at least it sizes up that obiwan is pretty bad ass and can take down a very strong sith, or that maul is the galaxy's biggest jobber and people try to make him seem super bad ass to compensate it. Either way I stand by my mary sue remark, he's pretty bullshit by any other standard and he keeps coming back because fan favorite villain.

>>87702762
It would still be the Republic. The thing is Kalani doesn't have all the information. The CIS was lead by Dooku who no one knew was answering to Sidious the whole time, and Sheev wouldn't favor a scenario where Dooku's side wins. His plan was always to put himself at the top.

>>87702762
There are many reasons the republic would have one. The two major ones being, jedi since every time they showed their face the fight became a decisive victory for the republic, and clones. The clones were far superior soldiers to droids, the only reason droids were a feasible army was because you could produce so many so fast, that it didn't matter they were shit soldiers, one died and two took their place.

I mean shit even sheev knew this, after taking over the republic, he kept the clone troopers and tossed away the droids because they weren't really beneficial or good at anything since clones were about as numerous as them, but follow orders better and had an actual mind.

The cis was always going to lose on a grand scale because the jedi could take down as many robots as they needed to without ever being shot down in the process. The cis never had a large number of useable units that could make a decisive victory where needed, all they had was doku, ventress, and grievous. But even then two of the three wouldn't be able to hold any solid footing against a real jedi

Only for a couple years at the most. But before long, he threw them away too in favor of what's basically riot control rather than actual soldiers.

Personally i'd love to know how Luke built his green lightsaber, and how he finished his jedi training between 5 and 6

>>87704748
Well Lucasfilm (and the Blu Ray releases) treat the TCW movie as it's own movie, whereas the Rebels "movies" are officially just episodes of the show, so I was using that as a basis. But I discussed it a little earlier in the thread and concluded that the theatrical spin-offs shouldn't be separated by Live Action and Animated, yes.

Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, Anakin, Padme, and Jar Jar all fit the bill of protagonists.

He's not supposed to be our Luke. The prequels are not the OT. We do not need a "Luke" or a "Han" or a "Leia".

He's our Anakin.

>He doesn't discover anything, he doesn't develop into anything
He discovers about as much as Luke did in ANH, and develops about as much. That's not to say he is supposed to be a "Luke" since, as I said, this is not the OT.

>>87706362

Luke and Han are the definition of bland stereotype.

>>87706209
>Not him but no one felt like a protagonist in TPM.

Qui-gon, Obi-wan and Padme were the three protags of TPM. Just as Obi-wan, Anakin and Padme were the protags of AoTC and RoTS. And Han, Leia and Luke with ANH, TESB and RoTJ. AND with Finn, Rey and Poe in TFA.

The Star Wars films have never had a singular protagonist. It's always centered around trios.

I guess Jar Jar does since he shows emotion and actually changes from a goofball to a general.

In case you don't know, a protagonist that gets a better understanding of the conflict and develops into a talented young man is not exclusive to the OT. It's basic storytelling that Lucas could not get right.
>He discovers about as much as Luke did in ANH, and develops about as much.
Like what? We never see him perform any Force abilities, he never does any training, he never changes his attitude, he never matures, he goes from a scared little boy to a scared little boy with a lightsaber and a hair braid.

>>87705401
The Separatists planned it. As the novel reveals, Krennic convinces Poggle to enlist the Geonosians into actually building it for the Republic as a gesture of goodwill and reconciliation for the Republic's offering the chance at putting their manufacturing expertise to the ultimate test after the Separatists left them to waste after the second Battle of Geonosis. Not long after the Geonosians finish their share of the work, the Empire submits them to genocide so as to assure they're never able to partake in such undertakings again.

>>87706570
So in short, the Republic offers the Geonosians an opportunity to revitalize their economy and hive productivity through the construction of the Death Star for the Republic after the Separatists threw them under the rug during and after the second Battle of Geonosis. When the Empire is able to move forward with its construction through the use of civilian contractors after the war (I assume), they sterilize the planet of its population, inadvertently sterilizing its last Queen as seen in the Vader comic.

Mostly. But he's right there the whole time enough that he can't really be dismissed to being support like Chewbacca, 3PO or R2-D2.

>>87706640
He was a damn fun side character at least.

>>87706640

If not him then Han. Though he'll probably take that spot in Episode 8.

>>87706524
>In case you don't know, a protagonist that gets a better understanding of the conflict and develops into a talented young man is not exclusive to the OT. It's basic storytelling that Lucas could not get right.
1. That's not the only way a protagonist is. Also, Luke does jack-all to develop in ANH.
2. He did get the role of protagonists right in all 6 films.

>Like what? We never see him perform any Force abilities, he never does any training, he never changes his attitude, he never matures, he goes from a scared little boy to a scared little boy with a lightsaber and a hair braid.

1. Yes we do, he successfully wins a podrace(which is established to be impossible for a normal human) to name one.
2. We don't need to see him do training in the first film.
3. He does change his attitude, actually. He goes from a relatively happy kid stuck as a slave to a scared kid who misses his mother, to a kid who helps defeat the Trade Federation ship and gets to become a Jedi like he wants.

I still really hope they didn't actually doom them to extinction, and some still happened to survive off-world to continue the species. Otherwise that'd really be shit.

I NEED MORE BULLYING

>>87707372
Okay so wow, fuck Poggle. He used Krennic's olive branch as an opportunity to return to the Separatists. He deliberately ordered the worker drones to start fighting and killing each other over what menial work they would do and eventually start dismantling what work they ended up doing. The clones on security are forced to put down these struggles, killing the workforce on many an occasion. Poggle uses the confusion this causes to escape back into Separatist space.

Requesting that "tarkin didn't rise to the bait" image, for some reason it's one of the few in my meme deposit that didn't get backed up.

I guess when Pablo hinted in the recon for the Geonosis moon episode that we'd see the planet again, he meant Catalyst.

>Why should we care if the protagonist (Qui Gon?) didn't care?
Did you miss the part where they sent Qui-Gon and Obi-wan back with Padme? The Jedi Order knew the bullshit on Naboo was linked to the Sith. The Dark Side users who were suppose to be wiped out. I don't think you're getting the implication of how fucked the Jedi and Republic were that they still existed.

>Besides all the necessary info is given in AOTC in a more comprehensible form.
No. TPM showed how weak and fragile the Republic had become after centuries of weakening by the Sith. The Naboo incident inspired many worlds to be persuaded by the Confederacy rising in the background.

>>87706209
>Not him but no one felt like a protagonist in TPM. Especially Anakin. And he's supposed to be our Luke. But he isn't Luke, at all.
Because the PT isn't a retelling of the OT. It's a completely new story with a different theme and group of protagonist. Anakin was never meant to be like Luke. Ever.

>That's not the only way a protagonist is.
Then what exactly makes Ani a protagonist other than the fact that he's a Skywalker and he's space Jesus? This isn't a deep story, it's a fucking space adventure. A protagonist like Luke is absolutely necessary.
>1. Yes we do, he successfully wins a podrace(which is established to be impossible for a normal human) to name one.
2. We don't need to see him do training in the first film.
3. He does change his attitude, actually. He goes from a relatively happy kid stuck as a slave to a scared kid who misses his mother, to a kid who helps defeat the Trade Federation ship and gets to become a Jedi like he wants.
1. Seeing him win some race doesn't give us any Force discovery. It's just some race.
2. You're right. But he doesn't do any training on any of the PT movies whatsoever.
3. Except he goes back to being a happy kid when he ACCIDENTALLY blows up the TF ship. And again, we never see him perform any Force abilities, so his Jedi status is literally nothing in the film. Yippee!
Long story short, Anakin isn't a protagonist. He never changes for the better. He's always a sad or happy goofy kid.

Checkmate son. Nothing personnel

The fact that once he enters the film he becomes one of the major characters.

>protagonist - the leading character or one of the major characters in a drama, movie, novel, or other fictional text.


>1. Seeing him win some race doesn't give us any Force discovery. It's just some race.
When we're told that no human has ever won a podrace, it definitely showcases Force ability.

>2. You're right. But he doesn't do any training on any of the PT movies whatsoever.
Because again, we don't need to see training. The films aren't focused on Anakin's training, but him as a character changing.

>3. Except he goes back to being a happy kid when he ACCIDENTALLY blows up the TF ship.

Yes, but he still is different from where he was as a somewhat happy kid before. Please watch the film you're """attempting""" to critique.

> And again, we never see him perform any Force abilities

Like pilot a ship at age 9?

>>87708248
I made the image a year ago, the quote is literally from Tarkin. I think it was from the short story interlude when Vidian with trying to piss him off.

>>87707790
>It's a completely new story with a different theme
TPM doesn't have a theme. There's no discovery, no friendship, no romance, no adventure, no bonding, nothing. TPM would have been a better film if it had at least ONE of these themes. Why don't Anakin and Obi-Wan bond or talk? Why doesn't Anakin ever train his Force abilities? Why does Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon's relationship feel dead? All we needed was ONE good relationship to invest on but TPM had none.

How is he a major character if he never does any developing or is never given a good understanding of what the TF is doing to Naboo?
>When we're told that no human has ever won a podrace, it definitely showcases Force ability.
So now we have to feel like we're discovering new things because we're told to? Gotcha.
>Yes, but he still is different from where he was as a somewhat happy kid before. Please watch the film you're """attempting""" to critique.
How? He still feels like the same kid from before. Compare that to Luke, who went from a kid with hopes and dreams to the hero of the Rebellion. He actually got somewhere. Anakin didn't, he's given a lightsaber because he's the Chosen One.
>Like pilot a ship at age 9?
Luke already pilots ships. Where's the discovery of the FORCE? We don't get anything equivalent to Luke closing his eyes and deflecting bolts. All we get is him flying cartoon spaceships.

>>87708288
>TPM doesn't have a theme
it sort of has. Symbiosis, like Naboo people and Gungans, like midichlorines

>>87708288

>How is he a major character if he never does any developing or is never given a good understanding of what the TF is doing to Naboo?
You don't need to develop to be a major character. He takes up plenty of screentime once he enters the film..

>So now we have to feel like we're discovering new things because we're told to?

So it's fine when Luke does it, but not Anakin?

> He still feels like the same kid from before
Does not. He's happy, but not exactly the same kind as he was on Tatooine.

> Compare that to Luke, who went from a kid with hopes and dreams to the hero of the Rebellion. He actually got somewhere.

Anakin goes from a kid with hopes and dreams to a hero of Naboo who gets his wish of being accepted into Jedi training fulfilled.

>Luke already pilots ships.
He pilots speeders.

> Where's the discovery of the FORCE? We don't get anything equivalent to Luke closing his eyes and deflecting bolts.
Stop acting like this film needs to be like ANH.

>You don't need to develop to be a major character.
So all we need is for Ani to be space Jesus in order to relate to him. Gotcha. No growing or developing here folks.
>So it's fine when Luke does it, but not Anakin?
Here's the difference, Luke changes throughout ANH and the trilogy itself. Anakin does not.
>Does not. He's happy, but not exactly the same kind as he was on Tatooine.
Such amazing character development. He's a different kind of happy.
>Anakin goes from a kid with hopes and dreams to a hero of Naboo who gets his wish of being accepted into Jedi training fulfilled.
He becomes a hero by barely understanding his enemies and allies and accidentally blowing up a space donut. So similar to Luke, yet Anakin still manages to make zero development.
>He pilots speeders
What is an X-Wing?
>Stop acting like this film needs to be like ANH.

You weren't talking about relating to him, faggot. Stop moving goalposts. There's plenty to like about Anakin.

>Here's the difference, Luke changes throughout ANH and the trilogy itself. Anakin does not.
Anakin does change through the trilogy, Luke barely changes in ANH.

>Such amazing character development.
You never specified amazing development. I just gave you evidence of development. Again, quit moving goalposts.

>He becomes a hero by barely understanding his enemies and allies and accidentally blowing up a space donut. So similar to Luke, yet Anakin still manages to make zero development.
Same with Luke.

>What is an X-Wing?
Luke never piloted an X-Wing before Yavin.

Just like Anakin never piloted a ship before Naboo.

>I guess anyone who dislikes TPM or AOTC is a troll then.
No, but someone who uses "cartoon" is obviously trolling. Don't try to play the victim here.

>>87709263
>Anakin does not

Did you watch the movies? It's ABOUT him changing. He falls to the dark side

>>87709334
A mere change in status and name. Throughout the film he's whiny, impatient, angry, frustrated, or scared. He never changes.

>>87709384

>>87701000
Go read the books and comics, you'll be surprised at how much character development there actually is in there. It's one of the staples of Legends material for a reason. Only the Rogue Squadron games are all about dogfights.
