Yeah, I thought I heard him! I wonder if that was the last of the Blum Troopers...

>>88587333

Yeah, Blum was credited as having a voice in the movie, along with Dave Filoni and Sam Witwer

More than half the Stormtroopers in Rebels are voiced by Steve Blum.

>>88587330
Pizza cone ship will be a key factor if the rebellion wants to win

>>88587378
It's just a joke. Steve Blum often lends his voice to Stormtroopers in Rebels, giving them their generic Blum voice.

He even got to voice a trooper in Rogue One, so the joke anon was making was that they're all clones

Viewing ANH takes on some new meaning. Tagge being concerned about the Rebels becoming a problem makes a lot of sense. They just got surprised attacked on one of their installations by a sizable Rebel fleet that managed to not only steal data but down two Star Destroyers. The admirals on the ground of Scarrif were freaking out seeing Rebels attack them in force.

>>88587504
No, he knows. He tells his Troopers to search the area for her after shooting her mom.

>>88587504
I don't remember Krennic ever giving much a shit about Jyn in Catalyst.

>>88587454
Thanks bro.

>>88587488
It was on the territory of a complex built on a patch of undeveloped land, but it doesn't mean it is was close to the real surface.
Nothing can live closer to the real surface.

>>88587504
After giving the order to kill Lyra, Krennic tells the Death Troopers that she and Galen have a kid and to search for "it"

I think I'm starting to lose my respect for Disney. They were meant to save the franchise, but instead the killed the only good show, replaced it with a show that I can't believe is as bad as it is while remaking ANH

I mean, it's Disney, generally they don't fuck shit up

>>88587559
>Nothing can live closer to the real surface

>>88587438
I'm more curious about the political side of it, Tagge is talking about the Rebellion "Continue to gain support in the Senate", we know that there were Senators inside the Rebelion. but i doubt that all Senators that sympathized with it were members of the Rebellion, i wonder how the Rebellion was able to make a narrative about restoring the Republic while attacking Imperial installations and personnel

It wasn't just that. Even the production staff didn't want to continue it without George.

>replaced it with a show that I can't believe is as bad
Rebels isn't bad though. It's not as good as TCW, but it's pretty good with what what they're allowed and have to do with it.

> while remaking ANH
This was just the case of Lucasfilm hiring someone who happened to be a massive OT-purist. Mistakes are made.

>>88587587
the dissolution of the senate, destruction of Alderaan and destruction of the death star give the rebellion the legitimacy it desired.

>>88587587
It's not until Alderaan is blown up and the Senate is dissolved that the erstwhile senators go public with restoring the senate and thus making it a real civil war.

Before then the rebellion was, more or less, secret, with the military knowing that there was more to it than the public, but there was nothing official. "sympathy for the rebellion" is more like the Senate wanting to hear the grievances they have for why they would rebel.

>>88587659
It's also worth pointing out that Rebels has had an on-average better first few seasons than TCW did. The early clone wars seasons were... rocky, to say the least.

>>88587504
Read Catalyst

>>88587684
From my experience Rebels has overall been worse than TCW, and I didn't even like Clone Wars enough to watch past the first season.

>>88587684
This. Anyone who thinks TCW had anywhere near the level of consistent quality that Rebels does has their nostalgia goggles on.

Every day it's the same shit, almost worse than the /SS/ closet faggots

>>88587725
I think both shows are pretty consistently good, sometimes dipping, and sometimes hitting greats.

No need to bag on either.

>>88587710
In my experience it's been worse than TCW's best episodes, but better than its worst ones, and more consistently above TCW's average bar in its quality. Both are good when at their best, but TCW had more low points to go with its peaks.

Political star wars Netflix show when?

>>88587438

Lost Stars has some shit take place concurrently or just after Scarif but before ANH. The empire didn't expect to have a concentrated resistance capable of doing that. Up until now all they'd really faced was old retrofits and smaller cruisers. Even the Dantooine base shocked them simply because of it's scale, being able to hold multiple squadrons and battalions at once.

Most people in the empire expected their duty to just be patrolling and handling a handful of pirates. The idea that there would ever be a military force sizable enough to even be any kind of challenge never actually occurred.

>>88587775
Boring as Fuck.

>>88587743
Yeah, it's almost like the body count and the quality of a work are entirely independent of each other.

>>88587775
Never, budget for live action Star Wars shows is too high.

I hope we get some spinoff films around the Prequel trilogy.

>>88587802
All the complaints I read here for this season have been about that, tho

>>88587823

TCW as early as episode 5 had clone troopers being clone troopers which was infinitely more interesting than anything seen in Rebels so far.

>>88587836
Eh, there's nothing about the era that really makes me want spinoff movies set during it.

>>88587842

why have wizards at all?

>>88587659
>This was just the case of Lucasfilm hiring someone who happened to be a massive OT-purist. Mistakes are made.

Abrams didn't even WANT the fucking job. He actually told them to fuck off the first time they asked but so did everyone else and so they begged him to come back on.

Which is something everyone has forgotten. Nobody wanted to direct VII.

>>88587659

Rebels is the most bland thing I've ever seen

I'd rather watch Droids

And TFA is probably the worst film in a long time; plagiarism and Mary Sue, in addition to invalidating the OT entirely

>>88587833

In Rogue One Bail says that he's going to go to Alderaan and publicly announce that Alderaan is at war with the Empire. Plus 2 years earlier Mon Mothma publicly called Palpatine a 'lying executioner' before being kicked out of the Senate and branded a traitor.

>>88587868
because jedi are the most wizard thing

>>88587898

I've been telling you people since forever.
Disney doesn't give a shit about what you think, because they know you're going to watch the shit anyway. They want to get the people that saw Star Wars once, and maybe bought the DVDs and then never watched them again. They're the ones that need to be won over and there's a whole hell of a lot more of them then you.

They were, but if you remember, Lando told all the ships to get closer to the Star Destroyers so that the Death Star wouldn't fire and hit their own ships.

>>88587921
The best thing about a spin off in that era is that all of the actors are pretty much the same age as they were in TFA to reprise their roles in films set a few years before the events of TFA. So we could have a spin off film eventually about the training that Kylo is undergoing with Luke, as mentioned in Bloodline

>>88588051
Yes, and? That was the point. The Rebel fleet is now engaged with a force many times their size and fire power, if they try to retreat from that fight, the Death Star can fire on them.

That was my number one reason for liking rouge one. They actually showed how the Senate from the old Republic fit into the Rebellion. We saw the rebel council turn from a small group of friends sitting in a room to a full sized rebellion. All the political scenes in TCW and the deleted scenes of ROTS payed off.

>>88588077

>Why is Tarkin so goddamn important?

Because he was really fucking ambitious and had the intelligence and cunning to back it. One of the few guys who were just below Sheev in these qualities.

>>88588073
Exactly. So Tarkin was willing to blow up and Imperial base with the Death Star, where Palpatine didn't.

Amazingly stupid.

>>88588124
this was the original intention of the film, to show that lightsabers are weapons in a league of their own

in the (not-canon) FFG books, the lightsaber stats far exceed any other weapon in the game, with the only limitation being range, but with several ways to mitigate that

>>88588104
Fun fact: This is exactly what Plo Koon said when he went to Ahsoka's village to bring her to the Jedi. The Torgrutas had known about him beforehand for his tracking down and ...uh... 'training' of a girl on Ryloth called 'lil Aayla' so they hid Ahsoka.

>>88588130

Well, at the time, it was logical to assume the kid would just starve to death and not cause problems for him in the future.

I mean really. Would you think marooning a kid on some backwater world would one day come to bite you in the ass 20 years down the road?

Tarkin blew up a base that no longer served a purpose and the destruction of which may have stopped the theft of blueprints to the Death Star.

Palpatine however would risk not blowing up a base, but destroying a very sizable chunk of his navy.

>>88588202
the best bit is that when he sees vader, he immediately blasts him without hesitation, only to be very soundly beaten with no effort

>>88588148
>>88588073
>>88588051
actually palpatine was too busy jerking off to vader vs luke to personally direct the battle.

The moff in control of the death star (forgot his name) didn't want to fire on his own troops. In a deleted scene, the moff also refused a standing order to fire on endor if the shield fall.

Isn't the Outer Rim basically that?

Even if the New Republic collapsed, the whole galaxy wouldn't turn into chaos. Regions and sectors like Kuat, Mandalore, etc. would simply declare independence.

Not so much that. Hell, if Tarkin had let Krennic blow up all of Jedha as he wanted Jyn would have died there along with the Guardians, Cassian, and Bodhi. No Death Star plans, no recovery of Galen's message, no knowledge of any weakness or that one exists. Tarkin lives, the Death Star lives, the Rebellion dies.

>>88588231
Yep

>>88588178
Considering how shitty accuracy blasters have I wouldn't be surprised.

Give Lightsabers credit, when they're brought out it ends with someone dying or losing a limb. Hell if Stormtroopers had some they might even be a threat.

I thought he did that to draw the star destroyer's fire away from the rebel cruisers. I don't remember Lando saying anything about thinking the Empire wouldn't shoot their own guys

>>88588188
I don't think it's him knowing Jyn was going to one day lead to his own death, it was the fact that she was valuable leverage against Cassian, he had evidence she was on planet from the toy, but he just gives up hunting her down. You can say it is fortunate since Galen does end up working for them, but maybe if his kid was hostage he wouldn't have risked putting in a weakness.

I have no source to back this up but I feel like Lucas said one of his regrets about Star Wars is that he didn't keep Tarkin alive.

Is there any truth to that?

in the FFG RPG, both the players and the stormtroopers are very accurate, without plot armor you get a whole new perspective on stormtroopers, who can show of what they were meant to be

and on endor they do initially cause the rebel attack to plainly surrender, and the ewoks actually do get utterly crushed after the surprise wears off, only succeeding when chewbacca jacks a chicken-walker, and the ewoks switch to more effective tactics
TIE fighters also inflict heavy casualties on Red and Gold squadron, and even put luke into a bind

The films take artistic liberties with their adventures. Like there weren't THAT many shots or THAT many stormtroopers, but they added it in because otherwise it would look boring

>>88588506

Jesus

Rebels need desperately to start to branch off of the main cast, one of the things about TCW that helped it get so good was that there was such a diverse cast that not every episode had to focus on the main trio, thus giving the audience some breathing between Anakin's last shenanigans and the next ones. The main reason S3 is getting more criticized is precisely because we are getting some episodes that don't advance the main plot while not being relevant enough for the main characters either

It's worse than that, it's the fact that the ONLY good episodes are Kanan and Ezra Force related ones. Hera and Sabine are fucking awful characters that utterly ruin the show in every way. Any time they are the focus or more than just in the background with more than one or two throwaway lines the show turns to complete shit. Chopper and Zeb are fucking nothing, but too much of them is also shit. Maul and Rex are great, not used enough. Hondo has LONG overstayed his welcome and the show just constantly brings him back because they have no other fucking ideas. A little Honda goes a very long way and now I'm just beyond tired of the same old stale bullshit with him. In short, there are maybe 4 or 5 decent episodes in a season amidst 15+ boring, horrendous, filler ones that revolve around some of the worst characters ever created in Star Wars.

Thrawn will loose against the Ghost crew and will lose a bit of his reputation. For this failure, Sheev will send him to chart the unknown regions and shit, ensuring his absence from the original trilogy.

ROTJ's OST is William's magnum opus. Nothing else even comes close. Every theme is 10/10, Into The Trap is 10/10, The Forest Battle is 10/10, the emperor's theme, Jabba's palace's theme, hell even the ewoks have fucking great music.

>>88590164
>>88590063
it would be weird having erza and Kanan around Luke. The both of them will need to leave the ghost by some mean in the future.

rest of the crew can stick around.

So Obi's going to end Maul, right?

>>88590376
imperial march only gets better with age

>>88590372
I'm starting to finally understand Star Wars fans have no idea what they like or even want. Lucas is gone but the fandom is still fighting each other over it

>>88590372
It was much, much looser than TFA. Hell, Phantom Menace was a closer remake of ANH than Heir to the Empire is.

>>88590377
you think luke set up the jedi academy by himself?
he needs some real jedi

Was ANH the first time Luke left his home planet?

>>88590377
>>88590439
In R1, Bail says they'll need every asset they can get, and immediately considers sending for "his friend, the Jedi". Thus Kanan is already out of play and Obi-Wan is their last chance.

>>88590377
As long as they stay afar from the Rebellion actions after RO Kanan and Ezra can stick around the Ghost

>>88590455
Yes.

>>88590439
No, fuck the Jedi. Useless sexless monks who kidnap children and claim ownership over the Force. Luke's order will have pazaak and Twi'lek

>>88590464
That really doesn't mean that at all.

>>88588138
He also just happened to get along with sheev well, for however much that means with sheev ofcourse. He was also one of the only people in the galaxy to earn Vaders respect, and even refers to him as friend.

So he had the ability to back up his ambition, and he had friends in high places.

>>88590476
>sexless monks
They're not celibate

>who kidnap children
do not.

>>88590464
It just means that Obi-Wan is the only one she knows of.

>>88590464
kanan is nowhere near as experienced as obi-wan, and isnt in contact with rebel high command, he also never technically knighted
strategically speaking, he is more of a force-capable soldier then a true jedi

>>88590455
Ever since he was delivered to the Lars, yes.

>>88590467
>sw:REBELS
>stay afar from the REBELLION

that sort of betray the premise of the show.

>>88589919
ah ok. I thought the ship was specifically made for that job. .. an oddly specific job. I guess it didn't make any sense now that I think about it.

>>88590483
Why would he be sending for a retired Jedi on some distant shithole if they had one with them right on the base (provided he is still with the Ghost)?

>>88590494
Bail knows about Kanan.

>>88590496
They joined the main rebellion at that point. Hera is a General there.

>>88590552
kanan is probably hera's aide and bodyguard

kanan is just a rebel with a sword, obi-wan is an honest to goodness jedi master

>>88590496
>Killed an Inquisitor in single combat
>Defeated a Sith Lord Blind
>Continues to be one of the Rebellion's most efficient soldiers, blind

These alone make Kanan an incredibly serious player. It's hard to beat Obi's record, but Kanan's at least knight level.

>>88590510
Forgot to add "main" to the sentence, sorry. As long as the Ghost stay away from the main cast from the movies Ezra and Kanan can stick around

>>88590372

Every single fucking thread.
KANAN AND EZRA
ARE NOT
JEDI
YOU
STUPID
FUCKS
THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF FORCE SENSITIVES IN THE GALAXY AND ITS LIKELY THAT THE REBELLION HAS MORE FORCE SENSITIVES THAN KANAN EZRA AND LUKE.
REMEMBER THOSE FORCE SENSITIVE GUNGANS FROM TCW? THEY MAY VERY WELL BE IN THE REBELLION BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN THAT IT CONTRADICTS LUKE BEING THE NEW JEDI. JEDI IS A RELIGION. NOT ALL FORCE SENSITIVES ARE JEDI BUT ALL JEDI ARE FORCE SENSITIVES.

Maul was able to keep up with Obi-Wan, killed that one Jedi chick on Hondo's planet, handled Viszla, was on par with Greivous and he was able to handle SS,FB and the one that was tracking him..

Dooku,Vader and Sheev are definitely above him but Maul ain't no pussy bitch.

>I actually like Kylo and Cassian quite a bit.
>fucking Cassian

Legit curious: What is interesting about him?

>>88590678
Aphra is pretty terrible, mate.

Adi Gallia was killed by Savage Opress.

Yeah, and how many of those other force sensitives have actual Jedi training? Kanan may not officially be a Jedi, but he is practically as good as one. He is often referred to as one, too.

>>88590698
Wait, remind me. Did Maul fight Grievous 1v1?

You know what, it's been a couple days, and I'm seriously taking the bait, but RLM said some really stupid shit. And I like Half In The Bag.

Complaining about the use of AT-ATs? What the fuck, they were supposed to use some original vehicles for a prequel? And all the other refences they complained about? TFA was much worse with refences and they loved that.

>>88590725
Can you say why? Can you actually elaborate?

>>88590673
Inquisitors aren't the best trained because Vader and Sheev don't need a bunch of assholes trying to overthrow them like Sith Empire. So they're mediocre and hoped that their weird lightsabers would be compensation enough to handle a retired knight or padawan. If it's above their pay grade, Vader gets to go hunting.

>inquisitors are strangely weak in comparison to jedi,
This, as far as we know the only inquisitor that had some serious trainig was the Head Inquisitor since he was part of the Jedi Guard, all the others were far weak than him
