>>88848566
At the start? Vader, next to no shots actually missed.

At that point? Nothing, they couldn't see shit with their eyes shut and full of tears.

Reminder that Rogue One was a bad movie and killed Star Wars harder than The Force Awakens did

They suffered from Stormtrooper aim

>>88848606
Yes. The format gives them more room to provide detail than the two-hour timeframe of a movie.

I actually kind of crushed on her as I was reading Catalyst. Her consciousness of and respect for the Force was very attractive for some reason. There were a couple scenes where she appears to just be basking in a field of flowers or a cave of kyber crystals, with the prose describing her as feeling the Force in the wind or the eery silence of the cave and I just... fell in love. Luceno knows how to make you feel when he has to. You can definitely see how Galen could be so smitten with her.

>>88848640
>They suffered from Stormtrooper aim
More like shitting their pants. Hard to shoot straight when death incarnate is coming for your ass.

>>88848606
Yes. I particularly liked Rogue One's since we get the characters internal monologues before they die.

>>88848566
It's kinda hard to aim when you've shat your pants.

>>88848706
It was like feeling the Force is a constant full body orgasm with none of the tension or convulsions but all of the bliss

>>88848625

What a fucking waste.

Why couldn't Rebels had been about the Rogue One Team, with the movie being the big ending for it?

>>88850007
Because we have two completely different stories being told, and they're coexisting pretty well together?

The Ghost is still at the Battle, and we'll probably get an episode all about it

>>88850096
But if Rebels was about the Rogue One team I might have actually given a shit about the cast for either of them.

Instead you have a show where the main characters are never in any danger, and a movie where you have no reason to care about anyone.

>>88850157
Anon, the main characters in every piece of star wars media in the history of the franchise are "not in any danger" for the majority of their screentime. It's a family-friendly adventure fantasy series for goodness sakes.

>>88850189
Sorry, why should I care about Asian Man 1, or Asian Man 2, or Vaguely brown man, or the white girl and the other guy?

>>88850238
It sounds like a personal problem you couldn't relate to the characters. especially when we are given all the info we need to know

>>88850238

>Rebels will only be good if people die!
Let me guess, you're a huge Game of Thrones fan?

>>88850231
and you consider this good writing? A story with zero drama in any way? why should I watch or read, or listen to something when I already know that any problem the hero comes across will be solved with zero danger to themselves or anything that matters to them?

What are some comics featuring Kyle Katarn?

More importantly, are they any good

>>88850292
Stories are only as good as their conflicts, and Rebels has none.

>>88850372
If you don't like it, you're in the wrong franchise. It's not a Rebels problem, it's a Star Wars one.

And IMO, it's not even a problem. Again, family friendly adventure fantasy series.

It's not Game of Thrones.

>>88850372
>and you consider this good writing? A story with zero drama in any way?
you're acting like what youre saying is fact. there are plenty of people that think the writing is fine.

You've clearly never seen the show.

>>88850381

>good
There aren't any.

>>88850393
This is not remotely true considering we saw Ezra lose his parents and Kanan losing his sight.

>>88850393
You haven't actually watched the show then, good to know.

>>88850393
>I don't actually watch the show but I'm gonna pretend I know what it's about based on shitposts

>>88850417
>It's not Game of Thrones.
It's not even Disney. Star Wars is what you get when you make a five billion dollar "learning to read" book. It's a wonder you don't get stickers at the end of every episode.

>>88850428

Well fuck.

Someday the whole world will know of the second greatest Jedi there is.

>>88850372
If your definition of drama and good writing is as one-dimensional as "Do people die?" then I have no idea how your tastes have evolved to the point where you dislike Star Wars yet still judge media based on such a shallow criterion.

Now that Rebel are confirmed in Rogue One, with both Chopper and the Ghost appearing and Hera being called on the rebel base intercom, will we see Ezra in any capacity in Episode 8?

Will he be part of the Knights of Ren or as one of Luke's new Padawans alongside Rey, considering Kanaan could only teach him so much?

>>88851646
Honestly I doubt we'll see them in 8 or 9. Even if any of them are intended to survive that long, I think Filoni and Ridge would want to avoid showing that and giving it away.

The cameos in Rogue One are close enough to the timeframe of rebels (which is apparently going to go for at least 7 seasons) that their inclusion isn't that big of a spoiler. Showing any of them in Episode 8 would be a different story.

is the novel for Rogue One worth reading? Does it add anything valuable. For reference, I found the force awakens novelization to be worth it

no he wasnt. Anything that says Plagueis was a Muun is no longer canon. He could be anything now

We know that a few cells existed at some point (and may still exist) and there were a lot of Separatist holdouts, but they haven't really gone into much detail about them. I don't think we've had any other major Rebel characters who were former Separatists

>>88851374
I hope we get a Revell kit of this ship.

Can we get that hammerhead cruiser humiliating two Star Destroyers?

>>88853699
Rogue One's novelization is definitely worthwhile. Off the top of my head there are a few pretty decent additions like ground-level perspectives of the Death Star's destruction and Jyn asking about certain members of Saw's rebels.

>>88854291
It wasn't particularly spectacular but I enjoyed it. It does a good job of exploring some of the relationships that are central to Anakin in the prequels and Checchetto's art is nice.

That does raise the important question of why the heck they attack the shield earlier and not just blow up the ring.

>>88854831
He would have handed Valorum his Walken papers when Sheev took over.

>>88854748
There's still room for Thrawn to do damage by offing a main character like Zeb or Kanan (To say nothing about Sato or Cham, who I view as the likely casualties) as the only thing Rogue One tells us is that Chopper, the Ghost, and Hera survive.

It's also probably worth noting that destroying the Ghost and killing multiple (if not all) members of the Ghost crew at once was always highly unlikely from a storytelling perspective.

>>88854946
They tried, they were attacking it but weren't doing any damage to the shield or the gate

>>88855006
I'm guessing Thrawn is going to wreck the Phoenix fleet, but not kill any of the Ghost crew.

I'm also guessing people will bitch that Rebels ruined Thrawn because he didn't kill all of the main cast.

>>88855085
They've been bitching because he hasn't already done it. Apparently these people think Thrawn was some uber-mastermind who completely destroyed the New Republic.

If he does take out Sato's fleet, that would actually be more than he accomplished in the Thrawn trilogy.

where does the Lando comic fit in the timeline of the other star wars and vader comics? I need to know for a fic.

>>88855499
There's no concrete date set, so it's semi-ambiguous, but it's presumed to be shortly after ANH because that is when Leia/Chewbacca's comics were set, and I am pretty sure those three comics are being collected together in a hardback.

It also gives a decent amount of time to pass for him to reach where he is on Bespin in ESB, while not being too early in the timeline.

Nah, bro, nothing beats out him besieging Coruscant with invisible asteroids and ganking the entire Katana fleet while nobody was looking.

Slavery arc was stupid, and it showcased what made the Jedi Order a senseless institution.

>vast slaver empire
>Jedi show up for no reason, trash it, and leave
>slaver empire builds back up decades later
>Jedi do nothing because 'not Republic problem'
>civil war breaks out
>Jedi show up to wreck slaver empire again because other side sells slaves

So let me get this right: it's fine and okay to be a slaver empire to the Jedi as long as the Republic isn't offended by it? Then why did they wreck the Tygerrians in the first place if the Republic had never had a beef with them until they got in bed with the Separatists? It's back-asswards even as an SJW agenda, especially since the Jedi STILL turn a blind eye to slavery in Huttspace, so it's apparent it's not an actual problem with slavery as an institution given how many passes slavers get. Them NEEDING to railroad Anakin's "I hate slavery" schtick into TCW made a mess out of the Jedi's priorities as well as smearing a thick chunk of shit all over the Republic's face that they pick and choose which slavers to prosecute, and THIS is a government people like Padme Amidala support and back to the fullest extent of their power?

>>88856909
The Jedi were never wanting to use the Clones though. They had no choice. They bring that up multiple times in both TCW and the movies.

>>88856459
I was reading the trilogy long after it achieved the level of worship it gets from the fandom and I thought Thrawn wasn't all that incredible.

But that's not really the problem of his character - like you said, especially him fucking over Coruscant and being an effective force with such scant resources at his disposal was impressive. The problem was that I never felt like he was a personal threat to any of the heroes. He was a military threat to the NR as a whole, but he never really challenged Luke, Han and Leia personally. Zahn wrote the novels in such a way that they always got their little victory, even if Thrawn's greater war machine only gained more momentum.

How can Thrawn be a truly challenging villain if he doesn't put the protagonists in danger, directly? He never pushed them, personally, to their lowest. Luke rekts anything that's thrown his way without effort and the whole Thrawn crisis is just a side-issue to him, compared to the whole C'Baoth thing. Leia solos Honoghr right under Thrawn's nose. Han just freely flies around, dealing with the smugglers and other underworld elements. Thrawn gets the Katana fleet, but even that event is written in such a way that the OT3 gets away scot-free (and with a new powerful ally). The only character who is really challenged throughout the whole story is Mara Jade. I never felt any tension regarding anyone else.

Fuck the OT3 worship, seriously. I want drama, I want them to be dragged through the dirt, I want them to earn their victories. Most of TTT is just smooth sailing for them and that's just dull.

So, anyway, I suppose Rebels' impotent "Let them have their little victory :)" Thrawn is a faithful adaptation indeed.

>>88856937
Nevermind, I am retarded, I thought the implication of the post was that the Clones were "slaves" to the Republic, and the Jedi were hypocrites. Which is half true, from a certain point of view.

Didn't realize the post was entirely about the Hutt's and their slavery vs the Zygarrians.

The only answer I have is that the war was namely between Separatist and Republic space, with the Hutt's and their space staying mostly involved in the war. Not to mention the Hutt's would put up a strong fight, and a lot of innocent blood would be spilled if the Republic tried to shut their shit down. The highest bounties possible on every Senator there is.

The Hutt's are simply far too strong.

Plus, Zygarrian slaves were basically prisoners doing manual labour, whereas the slaves in Hutt space were just working however best they can earn money for their owners, and keep on truckin. Kinda like wageslaves irl anyways.

>>88856909
And Anakin had no problem in helping Jabbe when needed.

>>88856972
Thrawn was never meant to be a direct challenge to them, in the same sense the Emperor was never really a direct challenge to them. C'Baoth and Mara Jade were Luke's challengers; Leia is basically helpless until the Honoghr reveal, hampered by her responsibilities as part of the government that's rapidly losing faith in her as Thrawn toys with the NR; Han is essentially no threat whatsoever even with his underworld contacts because he "went straight" and no one trusts him, and if Jade had done her job, Karrde would have neutralized him regardless. Thrawn was aware of who needed to be dealt with and took steps to place challengers in their path while he dealt with his own challenge in the greater military of the NR, in the same fashion that the Emperor had the Imperial military and Vader deal with the Rebellion for him instead of going onto a flagship to fight the battles directly himself.

If you're looking for drama for the heroes, you're not going to find it within a broad domain that antagonists like Thrawn operate in, you're going to find it in the Gar Saxons, the Kalluses, the Mauls, who face the heroes directly and make shit personal. Thrawn, at no point in the trilogy, made anything personal against any of them, even the C'baoth/Luuke thing was just to throw something in front of the token Jedi to keep him from being free to operate at will.

Bullshit. The Hutts were so weak at that point the Republic literally stole one of their own people and threw him in prison without them saying a word. Their infighting alone kept them vulnerable enough the Jedi could have wrecked their shit the same way they did the Zygerrians, but they didn't. Why? Because they're hypocrites, and because the Republic doesn't really give a shit about whether or not slavery exists. It's only when a third party gets involved that the Republic deigns to bother with "cleaning up" slavery, as was the case with Zygerria, but I'm sure that was of great comfort to the Shmi Skywalkers of the Outer Rim knowing how the almighty Republic was going around liberating slaves when they felt like it.

One can argue that they wanted Ziro dead too, and they actually stole him back from them.
But to be fair the srength of the Hutt is simple in the money, they controll the black market, and their currency his the one used by criminals and bounty hunters the most. They are organized crime and the slavery isnt their only way to make profit, smuggling is another one for example.
They didnt put them down for the same reason its hard to put down organized crime irl too, you can put in prison the head, but someone will take his place. It was in jedi interest to keep Jabba in his place, since he was an ally, and taking down his empire would have been too hard

I wouldn't say it makes them senseless, but rather strangled by bureaucracy the moment they decided to serve "peace and justice" within the Republic and only within. The rest of the galaxy, Outer Rim and all could hardly be a factor until the Clone Wars made it convenient.

The Jedi need to be a third party free to act of its own accord while still within the laws of wherever they travel. I think Luke's NJO did something similar at the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War, but they never really got to explore that new dynamic. If there was one thing I liked about that bit of the EU, it was the question of where exactly the Jedi belonged within the hierarchy of Republic institutions.

>tfw the New Jedi Order the series title alluded to came about literally at the end of it

What tricksters. I know Luke's canon Order looks to be a severe downgrade or even completely annihilated at the outset, but so long as it serves a worthwhile purpose at the end of everything, I guess I can be okay with it. He may have been the return of the Jedi, but he was also the last of the Jedi - and if we know anything of titles or prophecies with Star Wars, they usually stick until their need is rendered mute.

Why did the officer not shoot an escape pod that launched during a sensitive retrieval mission? DS plans would not have registered as a lifeform so that's not an excuse. Also, the lifeform comment implies that they would have shot it if it had a lifeform, plans or no plans.

Why did Obi-Wan kill himself? Everything he tells Luke in later movies he could have told him while still alive.

Why does ROTJ pretend that Vader redeemed himself, when in ANH he's an accessory to planetcide?
That's a whole planet of men women and children he just enabled the Empire to destroy.

Why does Leia lead the Empire right to Yavin 4?

>>88859133
why would you waste a laser on a random malfunction? if you shot at every bit if space debris your senior will get mighty angry

he likely foresaw that only one of them was walking off the death star alive, so he accepted his death, by allowing vader to kill him, he shows that unlike darth he has made peace with death

thematically, it shows that even one thought so far gone can still be brought back, luke felt good in him through the force, and he would bring that out or die trying

leia warned han about the tracking beacon, but han was too arrogant to listen

why would you fire such a big and presumably expensive laser to cut 15 minutes off your schedule, especially when you are being attacked by snub fighters, and we don't know how many shots the death star has in a day, it could take hours to keep the shot. if you told tarkin to blast that planet to shave half an hour, he would think you a madman

Straight up incompetence my friend, and plot.

>Why did Obi-Wan kill himself? Everything he tells Luke in later movies he could have told him while still alive.
I dunno, inspire Luke? Luke could've been on the fence about all that hero/force shit, gives him something to beleive in I guess? I really don't know.

Totally, in reality nothing is gonna redeem Vader for the horrific shit he did.

So I've been playing KOTOR for the first time after hearing all the hubbub, and while it's not a bad game at all (even if it has aged horribly), am I the only one who finds it ironic how people gave TFA shit for being criminally derivative yet KOTOR is also the same? I mean, Taris is Alderaan (with upper Taris also being Coruscant), T3-M4 is R2, HK-47 is a murderous 3PO (and there are more 3PO-like protocol droids in the game too), Zaalbar is Chewbacca, Darth Malak is Darth Vader (bald cyborg Sith Lord), Vandar Tokare is Yoda, the Sith Empire is the Galactic Empire, the Star Forge is the Death Star (McGuffin artifacts the bad guys use), the Jedi get BTFO (not as badly as in before ANH but still). Hell, they've even got a sequence similar to the TIE Fighter attack on the Millennium Falcon as a gameplay feature.

Sheesh. I'm surprised they didn't give Calo Nord green Mandalorian armor, or at least a jetpack.

Your argument holds no water when Maul and his brother can cobble together a collection of scumbags and make the Hutt Cartel their bitch without effort, and you claim a concerted effort by the Jedi Order to reduce the Hutts to poverty and bring them under Republic control on the grounds of declaring slavery verboten on a galactic scale couldn't accomplish the same?

There is nothing to suggest the Republic was afraid to take on the Hutts. There is nothing to suggest the Jedi couldn't have handily crippled the Cartel families at will. They simply chose not to do either because it wasn't political enough to do so, whereas Zygerria doing business with the CIS made devastating their culture politically worthy to act on, while the Hutts get a nod and a wink to keep on doing business as usual. The slavery arc in TCW and all their justifications, when applied to actual practice, don't hold up when laid over how the galaxy actually works. The Republic wouldn't have bat an eye if that entire Togruta population vanished overnight if not for the ONE reason of the CIS invading Kiros, and neither would the Jedi Order have cared if not for the CIS invading Kiros. Ergo, it must be concluded that the Republic attack on Zygerria was not, in fact, motivated by freeing slaves or ending slavery at all, and that is why the so-called 'slavery arc' of TCW is a hot mess, and a shit story with a shit plot and shit reasons for why it even happened at all jammed into the continuity for the express purpose of someone (Filoni) deciding they wanted to play with Anakin's "I don't like slavery" personality trait and going about in such a half-assed way that in the aftermath, he's only revealed to be a mama's boy and not an anti-slavery activist, displaying yet another vein of weakness in his character and another weakness in his backstory that's been mishandled since Lucas had his mitts in it. I wish Tatooine and slavery had never even figured into his background.

>Gareth on that infamous bacta tank scene and Vader:

> I’m jealous of moments like in Empire Strikes Back where you see the back of [Vader’s] head and you just go, “oh my God, that is so cool,” and wanted to try and find something like that in our film. [The bacta tank scene] was actually a Chris Cunningham-inspired thing of the idea of being in milk [like in the Bjork music video] All Is Full Of Love. He’s really a burns victim, and it’s not going to be fun for him when he’s not in the suit – he’s going to be uncomfortable. I love the idea of showing that he’s vulnerable as well. Vader’s very, very bad, and so you try and just glimpse something of him that gives him some humanity, or it makes you empathise with him. Just seeing those scars and realising that he’s, you know, an amputee, and just reminding you of that before he does all his stuff, it makes you torn, I think. He’s just such a rich character, in so many ways.

He was surprised Greivous did it so quickly. Greivous usually waits to reveal his extra arms, to get the upper hand on his opponent, but now of course, he doesn't need too. What's more rediculous is the notion that Greivous kept his extra arms secret for three years, only to randomly reveal them in an honor duel with Kenobi.

>Dooku is even more simplistically evil in the show than in the films
This isn't a consistency problem, it's just TCW sadly didn't give Dooku much of a character spotlight, like they did with the other villains.

>Ahsoka just doesn't fit. It's not a question whether she CAN be sqeezed in there, it's that her whole character is completely pointless because ROTS makes no mention of her, and really does not paint Anakin as mature enough to have a padawan (leads back to point 1).
Objectively wrong. Her character was a very important turning point for Anakin. He failed to raise her, she left the council after they didn't trust in her. That has heavy implications for Anakin's distrust in the council. On top of that, there's no reason for her to NOT exist. She is her own character too, the movies shouldn't dictate her existence. She has her own story too, as much as how she played a part in Anakins.

Darth Maul is the Boba Fett of the Sith.
He had a cool design, said two lines, then died.

>>88859860
>Obi Wan having a female quasi love interest just dilutes the whole point of a Anakin's fall
Again, completely wrong. The entire point of Obi-Wan's Arc in TCW was to show him and Anakin in similar situations, and how Obi-Wan (trained under Qui-Gon) made it through such things, compared to Anakin's unstable emotions and attachments. TCW giving Obi-Wan a love interest, and giving him a rival with Maul was some of the best storytelling we could have ever asked for with old Ben.

>Maul came back after being chopped in half and knocked into a seemingly bottomless pit, and came back as a fucking chatterbox to boot (this is where I dropped the show)
Well you fucked up because the show only leaped in quality here. Maul is a "chatterbox" because A) He was driven insane (he talks much less in the following Season) and B) Because he had almost no dialogue in TPM, so of course it seems like he talks more now. And he only never talked much in TPM because he's almost never on screen with someone he has a personal connection too. Only in a quick scene with Sheev does he talk, and you'll find he was very well spoken. They used that as their starting point for how Maul would have to talk, given he is now calling the shots, and in a personal relationship with Savage and Obi-Wan.

TCW was made under oversight of Lucas himself, and incredible care was made to make sure the show fit thematically, visually, and continuity-wise with the movies.

For example, to maintain continuity with Anakin's reaction to Greivous in RotS, they made sure Anakin never sees Greivous face-to-face in the show.

None of your nitpicks break continuity with the movies at all.

>>88860678
Why does Obi-Wan not seem to recognize R2?

>>88860673
But that's not a flaw.
Maul isn't supposed to be deep.
For that we have Palpatine manipulating everyone all throughout the film.
People meme on TPM and the PT in general so hard for no reason.

>>88860712
I'm just boiling down your comment into the shortest possible thing.

Maul is Boba Fett.

And along with that goes all the terrible things about Boba Fett and why anyone that likes either of them and wants fucking books and movies and TV shows based around them should be shot in the head and left in a ditch to rot.

>>88860711
????
He only says that he bver owned a droid, which he didn't.
Obi keeps things close to the vest, seeing as he lied to Luke and Anakin.

Or- astromechs are all interchangeable and he never saw R2 as any different from R4.

>>88860711
I have two parts of an answer for this.

First answer is that Obi-Wan never says he didn't recognize R2. He looks confused at the droid, and answers Luke's question/statement by saying "I don't recall owning a droid...", which is completely true.

Second part to the answer, in a recent post-2014 novelization, it makes a note that Obi-Wan was privately nostalgic to see the old droid. That's the LSG's way of saying "shut up, he didn't forget R2."

>>88860711
Why would anyone recognize a droid they haven't seen in 20 years, when there are literally billions just like it in the galaxy?

>>88860711
I'm hoping it was some sort of sand dementia, since with the amount of times the plot in TCW revolved around R2's presence it would take mental deficiency for him to have forgotten about Anakin's pet "never wiped his memory" astromech droid.

On the other hand, Obi-Wan did say he'd 'never OWNED a droid before', which technically isn't a lie since he never claimed ownership over any of the astromechs or other droids he interacted with. If taken that he's responding literally to Luke's 'says he belongs to Obi-Wan Kenobi', then it's not a problem with Obi-Wan's dialogue at all.

>>88860678
>None of your nitpicks break continuity with the movies at all.
>at all
wrong
LIke I said, you can squeeze them in, but it's not organic.

The Dooku fight in ROTS is clearly meant to be round 2 of the AOTC fight, especially considering TCW didn't even exist when Lucas wrote the PT.

>>88860803
Retroactively changing stuff is a common thing in Star Wars.

Quite literally all three of the Prequels, and Rogue One, are retroactively changing stuff we thought we "knew" in the OT.

TCW did just that, but by adding to the PT.

You can say its "not organic", but that's just how Star Wars is, when the stories being told aren't being released chronologically, taking things you thought you knew, and inventing further context that changes things.

>>88860592
Anakin was infatuated as a kid, but it wasn't until later that he grasped the consequences of his actions, even if he did everything he could to dodge them.

Voyage of temptation implies that Obi Wan and Satine both were old enough to realise the consequences, and old enough that they could hold the torch for decades later.

>We thought Obi-Wan never owned R2

>We thought Dooku and Anakin hadn't met since Attack of the Clones
>Now we know Anakin's line refers to their last fight in TCW

It's the same shit. Stuff written after the original "facts" that retroactively changes how we understand it.

>>88860879
Nope. They're similar, but not the same.

Retroactive changing is adding new information or context that adds to something, or changes it WITHOUT removing any factual information.

Retconning is removing faction information completely, replacing it with something else that never existed.

For example;

>Obi-Wan telling Luke his father was "dead, from a certain point of view"
>This is retroactively changing how we "knew" Obi-Wan explaining the fate of Luke's father in ANH

>Changing Obi-Wan's dialogue or removing that scene entirely to get rid of the possible inconsistency
>That would be a retcon, in favor of changing the identity/history of Luke's father

>>88860857
He's not because he's right.

>>88861049
Again, he's literally right. But my point wasn't so cold.

>>88859685
It's perfectly logical when you think about it. Padawans enter adolescence and so unless you chemically castrate them like Alan Turing things like that are bound to happen

>>88860384
By virtue of his master being Neimoidian? You sound like the EU in its limited scope

>>88860454
That's assuming they let him choose Plaguus's race. If LSG tells him Plaguies has to be a Rodian now he'll abide by it.

Though honestly I don't see them changing Plaguis's race, if only because people are now so used to the idea of him as a Muun.

>>88861329
Fuck, I misspelled Plagueis two different ways

>>88859133
Your idea of redemption seems a little dim considering there's a larger thematic at work outside of just Alderaan.

>>88861370
Like the countless other innocent people and small children Vader has personally killed.

>>88861329
Actually, while it's not concrete...

Plaguise is mentioned in Tarkin, but something that was strikingly peculiar to me was that unlike all of the other alien characters in the book, Plaguise's species is not mentioned.

Then in a Celebration interview two years back, Luceno was asked about the LSG's involvement, and if they made him make many changes to his book, and he explained that his book made it through them relatively unchanged, aside from changing some characters species.

So, if I can give my own two cents on that information, I'd say it is absolutely in the realm of possibility that they don't want Plaguise to be a Muun in canon. If they ever show him, I suspect he is going to have a new design that may be a shock to some people.

I think they'll play it safe by having Luceno write whatever book this happens in though, to avoid any "they're ruining/changing his work!" controversy

>>88861370
Plus a lot of people don't seem to get that redemption isn't the same as absolution, or that the "afterlife" of the Force doesn't work the way heaven and hell do.

>>88860454
I don't think Lucas ever specified what race Plagueis was. Luceno just asked him "can I make him a Muun" and Lucas said "sure".

>>88861422
>If they ever show him, I suspect he is going to have a new design that may be a shock to some people.

Not that I'm against Plagueis' species not being a Muun, I'm totally for it. But what could he possibly be turned to that would surprise folks?

>Rogue One didn't have screen wipes

That's why it felt like things went by so fast. Screen wipes tend to imply a sense of time passing, but RO just sticks to conventional scene transitions and it makes the movie feel so much faster. Though there is of course the pacing itself.

Tfw you realise George had no interest in a hard canon because he didn't want creative expression hindered by corporate over sight.

>>88861532
Anything not Muun, and not human, will make people freak.

Fingers crossed for Rodian or Gungan or something freaky like that.

Gungan would make sense too, considering Sheev is from Naboo. Gives him and Plaguise context for Sheev's origin story to be told.

>>88861493
That's a common issue when peolple regard the Force. The concepts behind it are a mix of religions, so people tend to compare it too closely to Buddhism or Christianity when it's not a 1:1 comparison. People are incredulous about Vader's redemption because they compare it to Christian concepts of final judgement... but oddly forget that the entire basis of Christianity is a get-out-of-jail card in the form of accepting Jesus.

>>88861564
He retconned his own movies to maintain canon and continuity (Boba's voice)

You don't know what you're talking about m8

>>88861564
The only things that were canon to George were thing he made

>>88859689
Except Revan (a LARGE plot point) and his relationship to Malak throws a whole wrench in your little analysis, buddy.

Also Carth, Juhani, Bastila, etc have no real analog in A New Hope, so no.

>>88861532
He should be a Lurmen

>>88861564
George was the man

>>88861604
That's why only TCW and 1-6 were considered canon in 2014, and they built from there.

>>88861567
Plagueis should be a cat. Like a straight up cat. Not even a talking cat.

>>88861564
>he didn't want creative expression hindered by corporate over sight.
Good thing the LSG agrees with him then. They've always talking about how they're promoting creativity, and avoid shutting stuff down unless it's absolutely necessary. They help creators fit their stories into the canon, they're part of the creative process, not hard decision makers.

All the creators at Lucasfilm have expressed positive sentiment to how things are now too.

They're getting as much creative expression and control as possible, for the LSG to also maintain the canon, as built from the roots of what Lucas left in 2014.

It's pretty much what we've been dreaming of for decades, and following his positive sentiments to Rogue One and TCW, Lucas seems mostly happy with how it's going too. He's just trying to do what the rest of us are doing; forgetting TFA.

>>88861567
So make Darth Jar Jar real?

>>88859860
>Anakin is a different character
Not really, he's just a man in his prime, unaffected by things like a pregnancy or visions of his wife dying. So unlike his anger and stress during ROTS, he's cocky, arrogant, and very sociable, like at the beginning of ROTS.

>the dialogue between Anakin and Dooku in ROTS is a parrallel of their AOTC dialogue, implying that they haven't fought since then.
Your headcanon isn't canon.

>Obi acts suprised at Grevious's arms seperating, when he's seen it plenty of times in TCW
He repeatedly fought Grevious with two arms for most of their fights, of course he'd be surprised by Grevious immediately going to 4. It makes things a lot harder, especially by himself.

>Dooku is even more simplistically evil in the show than in the films
That doesn't mean it doesn't gel with the movies.

>Ahsoka just doesn't fit. It's not a question whether she CAN be sqeezed in there, it's that her whole character is completely pointless because ROTS makes no mention of her, and really does not paint Anakin as mature enough to have a padawan (leads back to point 1).
She fits perfectly well, explains Anakin's reaction to the council not making him a Master, and explains why he trusts the Code more than the council off the bat in ROTS.

>Obi Wan having a female quasi love interest just dilutes the whole point of a Anakin's fall
No, it only proved Obi-Wan had the strength Anakin didn't, and why Anakin was NOT ready to be a master like Obi-Wan was. It doesn't dilute anything, and once again doesn't mean it doesn't gel with the prequels.

>Maul came back after being chopped in half and knocked into a seemingly bottomless pit, and came back as a fucking chatterbox to boot (this is where I dropped the show)
Then I can say fuck you, you didn't watch the show to figure out more and are speaking out of your ass. Maul never WASN'T a catterbox, he just got way too few scenes in TPM.

Good day.

>>88861605
I suppose you could argue on the same basis for TFA. Kylo is not like Vader, Rey is not like Luke beyond the surface level, Finn has no ANH analogue, the Starkiller isn't the focus of the primary plot, Luke doesn't play Obi-Wan's role and so on and so forth. Doesn't stop people from whining about rehashes.

It's all bullshit anyway. KoTOR, TFA, TPM all play with the same concepts and ideas, but come to different conclusions. That's all that matters. Nothing's new under the sun anyway.
