What's Geppetto doing in Star Wars?

>>88103823
Look at this filthy traitor. The Empire gave him a secure job with regular hours, and how does he repay his debt to society?

By sabotaging the very vehicles our brave soldiers use to keep us safe from criminals, slavers, aliens and Rebel scum!

Someone ought to burn his balls off for such treason.

Then meet the True Enemy of Lothal.

The Empire's goal on Lothal isn't Kyber Crystals. That's a smokescreen. Krennic only thinks Galen Erso can help him, however the true intent of the Empire is to capture Loth-Cats and rub their fur with glass rods to acquire raw power charged with pure Loth-Cat FUCK YOU energy to generate the Death Star's super laser.

This man is a hero.

Are the Rebels comics in the Rebels Magazine canon?

How are they quality wise?

Reading Bloodlines makes me realize again what bothered me most about TFA: barely anything has changed after 30 years. The New Republic is incompetent and gets absolutely nothing done ever, just like the old Republic that allowed the Empire to come power. 30 years and barely anything has improved politically, especially with the whole Centralists vs Populists. Then the heroes you care about have barely changed either. Han and Leia are essentially seperated because of their work, Chewie fucked off home for years apparently, everyone just seems miserable in general. Luke is the only one doing anything, trying to rebuild the Jedi order, but we know he just gives up and fucks off once Ben kills everyone.

For as shitty as the old EU could be, at least interesting shit started happening after the Empire fell, instead of everything remaining rather stagnant just because they need to set some status quo for the sequel trilogy. At least in the EU Luke was making progress with new Jedi and some sense of balance was coming back.

>>88105268
Yup. The new post-RotJ stuff basically reset their accomplishments.

So whose idea was that, anyway? How much of it was JJ?

>>88105217
Yes to the first.

Can't answer the second, though.

>>88105306
It's such a terrible idea. I understand ignoring the EU so you can freely develop a new story for a major movie, but the fact thay hardly anything got done in 30 years makes the First Order seem like not such bad guys. At least they want shit to get done. Does the New Republic even have a fleet? They're going to get hosed in Episode 8.

I guess on the bright side it makes me feel better about the lack of comics/novels that take place in that 30 year gap, since any dealing with Luke and his Jedi or Leia and the Republic would just be pointless. Disney doesn't seem too keen on exploring new characters, like the old EU used to do.

Maybe with any luck that sense of fresh ideas/adventures and progress will come back to the books once the sequels are all out and we can hopefully finally explore the future of the Jedi order and whatnot.

He probably means he still wakes up with the image of this page seared into his eyeballs, his testicles trying to retreat into his body.

That's... a lot of Star Wars, frankly.

I mean, with like 6000 years of pre-movie history, the comics, games, and novels managed to do "And then all the Jedi were massacred" like, what, 6-7 times? And that's without going into the two or three times it was supposed to have happened again AFTER the movies over the next century.

>>88106262
A stormtrooper with a lightsaber is too much.

>>88106327
He actually has an excuse for having one. You'd know that if you actually read the comic and weren't just losing your shit whenever you see a page posted.

>>88106345
I read the comic. Just because there's an explanation doesn't mean it's not stupid. You need to understand that you can't defend every piece of dumb writing in Star Wars by saying 'well there's a reason for that!'

>>88106327
Still waiting for that "everyone" Anon

>>88106408
See but that's your opinion

>>88106408
I think if you had read the comic you wouldn't be going "w-why does everyone have a lightsaber now?!" when this guy's actually a rarity.

Basically you're just kneejerk reacting to stuff like that and this >>88106306

>>88106444
>I think if you had read the comic

I think if you read my post, you wouldn't be going "w-well if you read the comic!!"

>>88106453
I did. All you're doing is bitching that you don't like it and don't care about the explanation.

>>88106466
Just because there is an explanation doesn't mean it has immunity from being stupid.

Why exactly does this get a pass, but Boba Fett fighting Darth Vader with a lightsaber is 'lol EU fanfic shit'?

>>88106511
>he thinks they're comparable
So you didn't read the comic.

>>88106511
Boba didn't spend years undercover working in a Jediboo's gladiator ring. We knew that about Kreel before we even knew he was Imperial.

>>88106530
That and Kreel isn't fighting someone on Vader's level.

>>88106511
I don't even like Kreel or the Edgetroopers but even I don't think him having a lightsaber is as stupid as Boba being able to fight fucking Vader with one

So maybe he should just fight with a vibroblade or something.

I just read the new Star Wars Annual, and I think it might be the first legit good comic from Marvel so far.

>>88106739
I thought it was alright, though I have been liking the way Leia has been written lately. Her solo book was kind of meh despite this, though.

>>88106727
Lucas said nothing can engage with a lightsaber other than energy charged shit, or another lightsaber. It's why we have the darksaber, it was going to be a vibroblade.

I'm aware of that, but Marvel and Disney clearly have little regard for what Lucas has to say anyway.

Luckily Lucasfilm makes these decisions then! They've been following the Lucas way as close as possible.

>>88106800
That seems to only hold for TFA- with almost everything else, they've been pretty consistent with what Lucas had set in place.

You'd know this if you ever actually paid attention to anything in the franchise beyond /tv/ memes.

>>88106854
TFA couldn't get away from Lucas at times either. Finn vs Nines is something he would do for example.

>>88107195
There's two plots going on currently.

The Rebels are gathering ships, munitions, etc.

Thrawn is studying the Rebels tactics and what lengths they're willing to go to & is trying to coax the larger Rebellion out so that he can wipe them out.

I don't give a damn shit that it's a kneejerk reaction, it is fucking retarded. Whatever meme bullshit the writer pulled out of his ass to justify his little fantasy does not change that this bravado-infested disgrace dueling Luke Skywalker and sassing Vader is refuse for lowest common denominator entertainment - and among Star Wars fans, that's really saying something. It is entirely out of character for a Stormtrooper to snark at a superior like that, no matter his special snowflake backstory.

"If you read my shitty meme comic, you'd KNOW."

"I did. I didn't like it."

"Yeah, well, that's just your opinion. You don't matter."

Not either anon involved there, but what the fuck was that too, btw? Absolute fucking autism.

>>88110449
ah alright thanks

any word on whether or not the omnibus collections are directly swappable with the ALTAs in terms of chronology? They have similar names, but there are only 5 volumes as opposed to 6. Should I extract the stories and make separate cbrs with custom page orders or go fit the omnibus volumes as they are directly on the timeline. Since the omnibus compilations are newer I'm not sure if their reading order is more definitive, but the EU timeline chronology on wookieepedia doesn't list them.

other people here have no doubt tried copying the EU list/structure at some point as well, your input is welcome

>>88110667
The omnis are pretty much the same thing as the older volumes, just much larger (I think they collect like 25 issues each), which is why there's fewer of them.

>>88110718
Yeah they collect more issues per volume, just that I wasn't sure about the chronological aspect. As in:

Omni volume 1 would collect 1-27, whereas the older Alta version would only collect 1-20

the wiki comics timeline shows issues 21-27 as part of the older alta volume 2 and thus it places some other comics between 1-20 and 21-27. A similar case happens with every volume as the omnis contain more issues. So the problem is I'm not sure if there's any point cutting and editing the omnis to imitate the older alta volumes so they'd fit the reading order as show on the wiki.

Any tips?

Honestly? I have no idea since I never read Marvel's Star Wars. However, if some comics do take place between volumes, you're probably better off editing those omnis so you can fit the corresponding issues in between. The only problem would be the credit pages, but I'm pretty sure the old school SW comics had a credit page inside the story, so I wouldn't be much a problem at all, really.

I just want to tell you: good luck. We're all counting on you.

What are your favorite droids out of the whole franchise /co/?

>>88112260
I'm a sucker for astromechs and assassin droids in general. For specific ones, though. T3-M4 and the minelayer droid LIN-V8K stand out above the rest.

I also have a soft spot for Threepio; mostly from waiting in line for Star Tours as a kid.

>>88109958

I remember posting somewhere (forgot where) about the nature of race/sex of Star Wars. I've lost it and since I don't want to write it all out it boils down to this:
I don't know why all of a sudden people are saying Star Wars has an issue with race and sex. A brief survey of the old canon (including the films) leads you to find plenty of female, colored, and alien characters, most of the protagonists (and even side characters) actually being quite capable and badass.
No one really noticed though because it felt natural and no attention was drawn to it. In fact I never even thought about it until this stuff started coming out about how Star Wars is racist/sexist/etc.
I feel like all of these new characters and the casting now seems forced rather than natural. To be honest that's how I feel about Star Wars in general now :/

I feel the same way. Though I'd rather have more Trandoshans, Ithorians, or some other aliens like that than a Twi'lek. Too human for me, even if the dumb excuse they have is "The face has to be relatable!"

>>88112554
Go read Darth Vader. Solid writing and art is okay. I dont like Larroca's fleshy drawings but when your lead is in a suit and you have two major characters as droids, you get away with it. Plus he draws great ships.

It's the changing of the times. The generation that first created the lore has passed on the honor to the people of today. Something about this generation seems to favor representation over trivial things like plot coherency or good storytelling.

Which existing species they should have used instead of those two things?

>>88114087
George signed the first U-Wing model

>>88114119
Trandoshans and Bothans?

>>88114119
None, new aliens are fine. Unlike TFA this one's not completely ignoring existing races (except for any that also happen to be OT characters of course) in favor of slapping a bunch of brown toad people everywhere

>>88114119
Every single Star Wars movie has introduced aliens that weren't seen in the previous ones. Why is this a problem now?

>>88114157
Fuck Bothans, I hope they all die

>>88114119
One on the right looks similar enough that it could be an ugnaught.

Really though I don't think it "should" have necessarily used existing species. Isn't there already a Quarren in the jail with Jyn in one of the trailers? One or two cameos from already established species is fine, but basically every movie has introduced a ton of new species. Only the prequels really had species from previous movies in them, and those were mostly background Twi'leks to fill giant crowds in Coruscant or whatever.

>>88114209
There's also some Mon Cala that aren't Ackbar in it

>>88114184
They used previously introduced species as well.
Now, every aliens we see are new ones, Mon Cal reskins, and ones with names like Chewie or nien nunb.


But please, let me be wrong. Show me one Rodian, Trandoshan or some shit like this in TFA or Rogue one.

It's literally about as stupid as the submarine thing I mentioned, yet no one throws a shit fit over that.

>>88115435
It very well might've been.

Kashyyyks hills were based on some mountains in China

They wasted Dark Trooper desing on some droid mooks, what a shame

I honestly can't imagine a person older than 12 enjoying The Phantom Menace even as the first Star Wars movie.

>but the acting is abysmal.
Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
I find the acting in the PT to be less disengenoius than, say, Marvel movies or Judd Apatow comedies.

No matter how stilted the acting is, the actors always feel like they are part of the universe.
There's no stupid wink wink shit like "You got a boyfriend????"

>>88115485
ok
I obviously do, so I don't get what you hoped to accomplish with your post.

>>88115412
>The Fridge is just too much.

I have always seen that kind of "too much" scene like bullshit created by the hero when he told you his story.

-Wait? You survived just by being in a Fridge? No way Indy, it's impossible.

>>88115452
I wanted to like when it came out. I even tried to ignore the CGI Prairie dogs, but surviving a Nuclear Blast in a fridge that flies through the air for that great of a distance, bounce around. Too much. It greats good again until Monkey Swinging and Giant Tree Shenanigans. Bet you all forgot about that giant tree that lands them safely in the river below.

And the giant ants that were so blatantly stolen from the weird beetles from THE MUMMY.

Hello JJ, how are you?

while cringy at parts, the acting in TFA felt more human, so to speak.

>typo
>obvious mistake
A typo would be typing in Rex's name as CT-7568 instead of CT-7567. Sixes instead of Fives is a complete fuckup that somehow made it without anyone blinking an eye.

>>88115546
Don't forget "Darth Voider"

>>88115537
>the acting in TFA felt more human
Again, I disagree.
It definitely felt more Hollywood and more high energy/ADD, but not more human. To me.

Hello, Lucas Internet Defence Force.

>>88115528
Indy was always ridiculous dude- I don't know what to tell you.
Seems like you just have a hateboner for CG and new things.

>Boyfriend

Who else feels sad for Malla?

>>88115574
Confession: I like Jar Jar.
I like his plot thread in TPM.

Got some news from the Pegg?

This.
The acting was just as "artificial" and wooden, it was just speed up and super intense all the time.

>>88115412
But surfing out of a plane down a mountainside in a flimsy life raft isn't?

He stays dumb through the entire movie.
If he had an actual development, that would've been great, yeah.

>>88115596
I don't mind JarJar that much after TCW

>>88115633
He did have actual development though.
He goes from an outcast to a general.
His character doesn't change that much because the point isn't that he needs to grow, it's that the other Gungans can now accept him for who he is.

>>88115673
A complete fuck up who succeeds by pure dumb luck?

>>88115688
Yes.

>>88115596
I liked the parts where he's just bantering with Qui-Gon and Larry Kenobi, he helps break up the didactic dullness of their dialogue. The slapstick parts aren't much fun though.
