IT HAS A CHANCE TO NOT SUCK.

What if Kanan's arc from the comics was featured in TCW?
>>
>>91472377
That's a big name to live up to. Can you? Please do so. Please

Also, are the other SW games getting announced as well? Weren't Visceral making something too?

If it has an at least passable single player campaign, I'm in.

But I bet it's gonna be Battle of Jakku all over again.

>>91472530
Campaign looks like it's Post-ROTJ and we play as the strong womyn. Fuck I wanted to play as a stromtrooper grunt.

HOPES AND DREAMS;

Characters:
>Inquisitors to give more lightsaber-users in the OT era
>Ahsoka
>Kanan/Ezra
>Sheev (with two lightsabers)

Customization:
>Customization is Rebels/Clones only
>Clones get TCW-Style Helmet Decals with a Black Ops style editor

Locations:
>UMBARAAAAAAAAA
>ACTUAL BATTLE OF JAKKU IN THE CAMPAIGN
>>
>"Avenge our Emperor!"
I want it to be Sloane so badly, but it'll probably end up being the MC.
>>
>>91472597
They should get Scott Lawrence. He was the best of the non-JEJ voices.

Matt Sloan only works for comedy stuff like Chad Vader and Lego. Put him in a serious context and you can tell the guy can't act.

Are you a contrarian or just an idiot? Maul was shit in TPM. Only in TCW did he get good.

What if, instead of Maul still being alive after TPM, the Nightsisters brought him back as a zombie instead since that's their thing?
>>
>>91472618
>>91472627
With this game having a Story, the LSG has probably followed this much closer.

It's entirely possible that that IS fucking Sloane.

And we'll be seeing much stronger-cross continuity too.

Another anon already pointed out Seventh Sisters droids are in the trailer too.

Palps is the brains of TPM and Maul contrasts with him.

Vader's VA is actual second best to JEJ. It's just DICE doesn't know how to sound mix. Here's the same actor:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFDUtU_uvlQ
>>
>>91472678
He's a Sith Lord, they're supposed to be very intelligent and cunning, after all it's a rite of passage that they will replace their Master.

>the scene where Qui-Gon meditates while Maul paces like a cat.
My favorite part, and TCW pays homage to his animalistic nature very often. He even growls like a tiger at Pre Visla.
>>
>>91472717
>hey're supposed to be very intelligent
He is, have you not seen the scenes where he talks in TPM?
He's very measured. But he's fueled by pure rage, so is more hyper intelligent lion than man.
>>
>>91472678
>But he doesn't need anything beyond animalistic hate.
Maul was an attack dog in Legends. In canon he has a personality and goals and was a legit Darth. But that is ONLY because Filoni and Lucas decided he had been wasted and so brought him back.
>>
>>91472598
I meant TCW. Matt does a good Vader/Hayden. If you listen to Hayden during the ROTS opening, the sound almost the same.

Genndy anakin is a bit cringy to me, he does a good dark Anakin though.

Second, she is either a stormtrooper in modified armor for her unit (like a scout trooper) or a TIE pilot.

I could almost put Fry's personal crap aside. At least he's not Wendig levels of violent SJW craziness. EGtW is the only thing I've read of his so far, and it was... just awful. It sells itself as being a serious book about the practical elements and gritty tech and details of Star Wars battle and warfare, written by someone who doesn't even have a basic grasp of warfare, militaries, or combat at all, and it shows.

I've heard SotE isn't bad, so I may be willing to give it a chance, but I don't know. Between his book and his social media, Fry's left a bad bad taste in my mouth.

While I agree that Battlefront was not averse to including prequel related content like JJ Abrams was, I believe the poster you're replying to was referring to clone wars era settings and factions, which was a legitimate and major complaint beforehand. I, personally, was able to live with it. What I'm not able to live with is the fact that A FUCKING YEAR AND A HALF LATER AND WE STILL CAN'T FLY AS Y-WINGS IN FIGHTER SQUADRON ONE FUCKING JOB EA ONE FUCKING JOB

DLC:
>Jakku (free)

The point of acting isn't to emulate another, but to make the character your own. That said, JAT's Genndywars Obi-Wan sounded much better than his TCW Obi-Wan. But then again, Genndywars characters didn't really have much vocal range to them, so in a way, TCW was an improvement. I still prefer Hayden as Anakin, otherwise.

That's a good question.

Dice DID have different skins for Luke/Leia/Han on certain maps (specifically Hoth/Endor.)

If there's one thing I hope they take from Overwatch, it's the idea of heroic characters having dialogue. Luke and Vader having a couple of stock lines but I mean almost every character should try taunting or pleading or shouting at every other named character.

I have no idea how you can believe this to be honest. She is a completely harmless and respectable character, and only served to improve Anakin's fall during the Clone Wars. A fantastic decision and execution all around.

>>91475338
Both of those statements are wrong.

Ahsoka even beat Luke in an official fan poll a couple years ago. She is insanely popular now.
>>
>>91475208

Here's why that won't happen anon.

In an average video game, things have some pretense of balance between high end and low end when shooters have to be skill based. In the old Battlefront you had higher tier characters to unlock, but that reset every match so it was self contained. In a shooter like TF2 every character has checks and balances. It's based on what weapons you have and how you use powerups that are limited.

EAfield has none of that. You're expected to grind to win shit for your character that carries over and that's where their money comes from. So pay to win people and guys who can just take a week from everything to grind will always dominate anything below that because long and even most mid range guns are locked behind a wall for the first few levels and good ones are often DLC only. You carry powerups with you so you don't need to strategize about making a run for them, and they work on the same principal of mostly being flat better, in addition to normal powerups that don't really even the score.

Balancing the game would remove all of the microtransactions, and we know that ain't fuckin happening.

Mostly association. She was around for like eight years so when she left people felt something. Personally her leaving was the best written thing since it actually developed Anakins character and resentment towards the jedi.

I'd have been fine if that was her last appearance. The jedi and the system fucked her over, and she decides she doesn't care if the empire replaces it. She doesn't come back, there's no hero thing, and by the time Luke rolls around looking for recruits she's rusty and no longer invested and would probably have kids with some random dude occupying her time.

Eh, it seemed kind of superperflous. Anakin being angry at the Jedi for going out of their way to not make him a master and shutting out him and the Chancellor was enough, because his turn was never about him actually believing the Jedi were wrong or evil.
He just tried to convince himself of that.
His turn was about his inability to let go. Period.

Jokes aside, I think it's really telling to the Lucasfilm mindset, and the wider mindset in general, that literally everyone in Star Wars seems to just be dying alone. Han and Leia couldn't stay married. Luke dies alone and childless. Ahsoka, a B lister, has nobody outside of being a rent-a-jedi up to the GCW and even that leather skinned brown lesbian didn't actually stick around or get mentioned anywhere. Cassian and Jyn had like no chemistry but they're now the rule and not the exception. Rey's thing with Finn was cringeworthy on both ends.

The only guys to actually get laid in Nucanon are Zaire Leonis, a C tier understudy to a B tier wannabe Ben Kenobi literally won't give the time of day; and Thane Kyrell, a guy we're most likley never going to see again because he's below even that.

One thing I can kinda see them doing is an "era version" system where you have a number of heroes, but they change slightly depending on faction and era.

So Luke would be in both OT and ST eras, but as young and old Luke. Anakin would become Vader. Ahsoka and Rex are the only two non film characters who have proper designs for multi era stuff.
>>
>>91475885
They could do Saw too if they really wanted. I doubt it, but they're still riding on movie-hype, and dice/ea seems to be most comfortable with shilling stuff from the movies.

They're scared to dip more than their toe outside of the big screen. But maybe they'll surprise us.
>>
>>91475933

The big problem with it is that you need more bridging materials for the OT and ST.

You have the original trio, Chewie is basically the same so the effect is lost, and nobody else except Nien Nunb who also hasn't really aged.

Base game shipped with only 3 heroes, and I get the feeling that the Republic base game heroes are going to be Anakin/Ewan!Obi-Wan/Padme with Rex and Ashoka in DLC.

It's true, we're never getting The Making of TFA. Rinzler doesn't even work at LucasFilm anymore. It was cancelled nearly a year ago last May, and shows no signs of life support.

In this case it's obvious it was cancelled because the opinions of the people and the Mouse differ.

Now that we're all talking about Battlefront again, does anybody know the source of the firing sound the DC-15 makes in the Pandemic Battlefronts?

You know, that high-pitched "PING PING" noise it makes. That's definitely not the sound it makes in the movies, and I can't think of any other blasters that do make that sound.

Speaking of Grievous, I think one of my main issues with the prequels is how the B-villains didn't seem to connect much.

Darth Maul was badass.
Then Dooku was cool, but apparently he's been around for a while ... okay neat.
Just kidding Dooku is kill, but now there's this cyborg dude who has also been around for a while.

It all just seems disjointed imo. They're all great on their own, but I feel like they could've been so much more.

I mean, he's gotta be in it right?

If we're talking all eras, and each era gets at least 3 villains and 3 heroes, Grievous is one of the 3 main bad guys from the prequels. Plus, he adds variety with not being a force user but still using lightsabers.

I've always wondered - was this because Lee didn't want to do another movie? It's really weird to have him killed off in the opening sequence.

I agree. They felt off to me in the movies.

>>91477422
We can always hope, eh? I can see some interesting mechanics for him if they decide to add him.
>>
>>91477414
You know, if we haven't gotten spoiled that "former Jedi = Sith now" thanks to Vader and the OT, Dooku would have been an interesting villain, and a decent twist. Like the whole time, the Jedi have been saying how this Dooku person couldn't possibly be behind assassinations, he's a former Jedi, Jedi don't do that shit. Then when we see him for the first time he's talking about how the Sith are controlling the Republic, and we start to wonder if he has good motivations for starting the Separatist movement and such. Maybe he's really a good guy in disguise.

Then BAM, he shoots lightning out of his hands and has a red lightsaber, holy shit. Then he meets up with Sheev and we learn Dooku was really this "Tyranus" guy the whole time.
>>
>>91477440
He convinced Lucas to give Dooku a somewhat more dignified death in RotS, as originally he was going to start begging for his life, so he at least seemed somewhat committed with his character.

Also I think he voiced Dooku in the TCW pilot movie.
>>
>>91477514
Dooku was my favourite character when I was a kid and I was incredibly pissed when he died.

Perhaps not the right place to bring this up, but what are the chances of a new Knight of the Republic game ever being made? Isn't that a game series within the Star Wars universe people would like to see more of?

hell, even if we only have 2 heroes and villains for each era, which is already doubling what the first game had, I think he's still got a good shot.

Let's break it down:

New trilogy:
>Rey (confirmed)
>Finn (likely)

>Kylo Ren (basically confirmed)
>Phasma

Classic trilogy:
>Luke
>Han or Leia

>Vader
>Boba Fett or Palpatine

Prequel trilogy
>Obi-Wan
>Yoda (confirmed)

>Darth Maul (confirmed)
>Grievous or Dooku

I feel like Grievous offers a unique fighting style what with having no force powers but still using lightsabers. Plus, y'know, 4 arms.

Oh man they better not fuck this up
As lackluster as Battlefront was, I enjoyed it. It was fun to play, and really gorgeous. I bought the season pass on sales and i don't regret it.
But I hope Battlefront II is a step above, and from that leaked teaser it looks like it can be.
I mean, the mere fact that there will be PT content is great. All the rumors said Battlefront II would be focused on the ST, I guess they heard that most fans actually love the PT as much as the OT.

I wouldn't be too optimistic about TCW, Rebels and other stuff that is not in the movies to be in BF2 though, I'm pretty sure they will still focus on the movies, but then again we had lots of these characters in Force Arena, so why not ?

With PT era included, they have so much room to make a lot of cool playable heroes, maps, vehicles...

>>91479387

In terms of content this is going in the right direction. The real question is gameplay: is it going to be the shallow shit of the first EAfront, something in the vein of a modern Battlefield title, or will the pipe dream of replicating the old Battlefronts happen? If it's stuck in the first option, I'm sure as hell not playing this game. If it's the second, I might give it a shot. If the fucking magic happens and it plays like the Pandemic games I'm in 100%, though I might wait for some "ultimate edition" with all the DLC so I don't have to pay 200 dollars for a complete game.

what even is a mandofag, dude?
someone that prefers clone troopers actually having believable bantz among each other and acting like human men with worries about their lack of a guaranteed future, instead of toy soldiers with "oc donut steel color flashes" and a kill-jedi switch in their brain relieving them of any kind of characterization?

another thing I don't get is why did filoni pretend to be an EU master if he hadn't read a single thing from it? He even pretended to be ignorant about basic shit like mauls robo legs&tats. He wanted to pretend that was a new idea. He didn't even do research for his Grievous episode. He mentions visionaries and stuff but pretends he didn't understand any of it. It's just bizarre to hear his explanations, he's so immature. He obviously had a knack for something, otherwise I don't see why Lucas would have hired him. But overall, what a dishonest, low-energy hack.

It's happening guys. The first canon videogame story, and we're going to get to play out one of the greatest and most exciting parts of Star Wars history. And the best part is the story campaign was made completely separately from DICE, so we have a solid chance of this kicking ass.

He's shown as an aging human supremacist, convinced what he's doing is right. He looks forward to the end of the war, and shows a tinge of regret for everything he's done, and doesn't seem to want to kill Obi-Wan, until Sheev shuts him down.

TCW didn't do much with him at all though. He doesn't really fuck up, because he doesn't really do much, other than occasionally pull some strings, and fight Anakin twice.

He completely rekt Ventress and Savage when they turned on him, that was one of the greatest Dooku moments of all time. And he rekt the Nightsister assassins.

It's just they gave any screentime he could have had, to Ventress. Which is completely understandable and justified IMO, balanced things nicely.

My impression from the trailer is that it's gonna take place right after Endor, so I doubt we'll go into Wendigo territory. Maybe the campaign will center around Sloane gathering Imperial forces together from the ensuing chaos after Sheev's death. It'd be pretty cool to portray the Empire as the underdogs for once, while showcasing the terrorist aspects of the Rebellion.

The "story" part of the trailer showed footage from ROTJ up until TFA, before transitioning into the "Multiplayer" part, so I think we will get Endor, Starkiller, and everything in-between.

The lady rallying the troops must be Rae, there's no other established character it could be.

It would be a total travesty to have a post-ROTJ Empire game, but not include the Battle of Jakku. Especially when it was the only non-movie battle Dice were actually promoting last game.
>>
>>91482484
To be fair the actual events that happened in Empire's End weren't bad, just the OCs and writing were shit. The actual way that the First Order was created was good though and very obviously made by the storygroup and JJ instead of Wendig.

>>91482642
The Aftermath trilogy was actually put together by LSG (and to a lesser extent, Wendig) using notes that George Lucas himself left.

So yeah, good ideas, some good characters, but a sloppy execution on Wendig's behalf.

But it will be good to see some of these ideas realized in other media. Lost Stars was a great alternate view on the Battle of Jakku, and I am excited at possibly playing it from another perspective too.

Not that Anon; but I assume the main complaint isn't with the topic of women being in games itself, but rather how the market's becoming increasingly saturated on females in games/movies that not only overdo it, but just lack character (for the most part).

I've been all for women in games/movies for years, and I always loved it when we got a game with female lead. Unfortunately, especially in recent times, producers feel the need to make a 'strong woman who don't need no help', which normally I'd be fine with; but the problem lies more in the fact that they feel the need to shove their agenda's in our faces through almost any experience nowadays, with no lack of force, may I add.

'spose you could sum it up with: Male or Female, if a character is written/designed like shit, it reflects on them. Unfortunately, a lot of guys don't know how to write (in general, or) women. On the flip side, you have women that are over-indulgent in their own power/romance fantasies. I'm going by the assumption, that this is what that Anon meant. A lot of women in entertainment of recent have been terrible, so his hopes may be somewhat low as of now, especially for a new EA game.

Can't argue with the DLC part, though; been happening since before BF3 was released. EA's old card for making a shitton of extra money on the side used to be online passes. They dumped that method on stage, got good publicity, and then all their games started getting "Premium" which cost as much as the game itself. Terrible way to keep a player-base, having the initial PB chunk cut-off from the new stuff (including weapons that can be rather, well, strong).

It's like counter-advertisement for your own game.

Haven't read the Thrawn book yet, but my feeling is they've got to have fairly significant plans for Thrawn in the Star Wars canon even beyond Rebels. I can't accept that they would tap Timothy Zahn to write a novel about the origin story for a villain on an animated Disney Channel show, even if it's Star Wars and a character he created. I mean, the book isn't called Governor Pryce.

Star Wars is sort of like where were heading where fashion is whatever the fuck you want to wear.

>>
>>91483091
Not to keep this going, but I've always found it funny that it often looks like they keep pushing for this in mediums that they otherwise wouldn't be interested in. (The whole Iron Man thing for example...) Either they get up in arms over lack of representation, or they refuse to acknowledge the work where they are represented, let alone properly. It's like the only thing that matters is reinforcing that whole squeaky wheel mindset; 'if I complain loud enough, I'll get what I want'

It's the Navy so it's a more equal playing field in space combat. She's part of a squadron which involves teamwork. I'm just excited to play as a TIE pilot. Maybe Soontir Fel will show up. It'd be more cliche if she eventually betrays the Empire b/c the empire is evil and muh rebels dindu nuffin.

I always wondered what the status of humanity is in Star Wars. Are they one species which colonized a bunch of planets, or what?

It'd be weird for someone as influential as Thrawn to just exit the scene around ANH, considering he's the best GA the empire has.

Oh yeah there's a good chance he's alive. Might even make a cameo (or namedrop) in the ST.
>>
>>91483222
I'm on both sides of the fence.

One one hand, I absolutely agree that they have more in store for Thrawn. His book is setting up his own story threads, as well as the one we see explored in Rebels.

On the other, I wish people would stop worrying about him being "wasted". The guy has an actual, canon, on-screen representation, and is the protagonist of his own book by Zahn himself. I get that people want even more, because he is a very popular character, but even IF he was killed off in the very first episode of Season 4, he still wouldn't have been wasted. He has had a huge focus this past year, basically more so than he had in the EU at this point.

Liking Star Wars. The universe that was created, the characters, the technology, the stories that are told a long time ago in a galaxy faraway.

Eras can be picked and chosen, but in the end you still like Star Wars.

First thing is; Not hating George Lucas. This is a big and personal reason for me.

Second thing is; embracing and respecting all aspects of the franchise. Star Wars is Star Wars. You don't have to love everything, I can't force you. But don't deny the good stuff that something can bring. I don't like TFA, but I can at least objectively praise the good stuff.

>what, in your opinion, constitutes being a real Star Wars fan?

Actually liking it. The only context that I can conceive a person being a 'fake' Star Wars fan is if they're feigning interest. As long as you like some piece of Star Wars enough, you're a Star Wars fan. You don't even have to like all of Star Wars. Yeah, I would go so far as to consider OT-purists as Star Wars fans. They're the cancer of Star Wars fans, but still fans none the less.

Ok, looked it up. Motive Studios is doing the campaign.

>On 12 June 2016, it was confirmed that the game's development would be lead by EA DICE in collaboration with Jade Raymond's Motive Studios.[2] A single player campaign was subsequently confirmed.[1]

They're a brand new studio so we don't know what to expect. Their executive producer was the producer of Assassins Creed.

Motive are also co-producing the 2018 game with Visceral.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motive_Studios

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Battlefront_II_(2017_video_game)

Not exactly the credentials I was hoping for, but there is hope.
>>
>>91483391
I've been in the Star Wars fandom for a while and, weird as it may sound, the sale to Disney has made it a little bit difficult to figure out what's important and what isn't. I mean, they've specifically said that EVERYTHING is supposed to be canon, which makes you want to think that everything is closely connected. A good example is that tree in the Jedi temple that Luke and Poe's mother retrieve a piece of in Shattered Empire. Rumors say that the recovered piece will be in The Last Jedi. Post-Disney, yeah, something that appeared in The Clone Wars and Shattered Empire might appear in a "saga" film. Pre-Disney, the tree would only ever be relevant to the comic.

It's like, when I played Rogue Squadron on the N64, I never expected to see Kasan Moor in anything besides that game because at that time you knew a lot of elements in the Expanded Universe would be contained within their stories. Now, though, a lot of it is a toss-up.

Maybe I'm giving Disney and Lucasfilm too much credit, but the very fact that Thrawn gets his own novel in the new canon seems like a specific, measured move.

>>91484097
Depending how good this campaign is, it could give us hope for Visceral's game to be good too.

Battlefront was undeniably a failure, but this sequel actually seems like it has a genuine shot at living up to the legacy of this series.

>>91484157
Absolutely. I've said before in these threads. The way canon is being executed is the way I always wished the EU was being treated. And many others felt like that. Characters are absolutely being played and developed carefully, as to not jump the shark with their potential, and Thrawn is no exception.

As for what's "important" and not, it's impossible to say. Nobody could have predicted that Saw Gererra would one day be in a live-action movie played by Forest Whitacker. That's what they mean by Equal Canon.

Not everything will be a Galaxy-changing event, but everything is important to Lucasfilm, so they're always playing their cards carefully in case certain characters may be suited for bigger appearances.

I just started but I don't even hate Ahsoka. How is she more popular than Luke?
>>
>>91484232
>The way canon is being executed is the way I always wished the EU was being treated.
This is why I finally got into Star Wars canon. I always wanted to back in the EU days, and I had a handful of the DH comic omnis, but I could never tell where to start. So obviously it was easy when the slate was wiped clean, but most importantly the people running the movies were also running the books and comics.

Feels good man.
>>
>>91484274
In sheer number, she is probably not. She won a official fan poll, so in the core fanbase it could be debated that she is more loved than Luke. The wider audience would certainly prefer Luke though.

But you have to also realize that she was the Luke-figure to an entire generation. For a decade there was no movies, but there was The Clone Wars airing on one of the most widespread channels in the world. There are kids who saw TFA without seeing any Star Wars prior to that, except The Clone Wars.

She became an incredibly beloved character, and she developed very maturely too, so even older fans grew to love her.
>>
>>91484316
Same. I actually liked the EU quite a bit. Read lots of comics, some of the books, and played a lot of Vidya. But I couldn't deny it was a mess, and I had way more fun being invested in TCW.

When Lucasfilm announced their new canon plan, I was all for it.
>>
>>91484274
Because the only people who vote in those polls are diehard SW nerds who, unsurprisingly, have also watched TCW.

If they polled the general public -- say, outside opening day of TLJ -- she would barely be a blip on the radar.

Do blonde people exist in Star Wars? Feels like every woman is dark skinned and haired in the newer media.

I think you would be very surprised honestly, especially if you were asking children.

That's like saying an entire generation grew up where Thrawn was a major bad guy.

Most kids simply haven't watched TCW. It was a big deal, but not as big as you seem to think.
>>
>>91484345
The EU got worse over time. I don't doubt that the new canon will eventually reach that point.

m8 i just hopped on the thread, no need to get triggered that I don't like the strange orange teen with two epicc backward-grip lightsabers (created by a man who unironically wears a cowboy hat) and who is inexplicably never mentioned in any SW movie ever even though she was the apprentice of the main character for many years

I guess you're right though she isn't fanfiction she's a legit character thats IMPORTANT and INTERESTING and NECESSARY

what makes a low-energy star wars fan: parroting ignorant statements about the eu

I was at a Timothy Zahn book signing event last night where someone asked him what was different about writing a Star Wars book in the new canon, and he said that basically it was the same, but now you had Pablo Hidalgo and the story group cross-checking your work with other stuff to try to weed out any contradictions.

That's cool, I guess, but my problem with the EU wasn't canon status or bloat, it was quality. To me, things just got worse over time. I fucking hated the Dark Nest Trilogy, it turned me off of the EU completely. I didn't bother with the Legacy of the Force or Fate of the Jedi or anything else. I held out for Outbound Flight, then I was done.

Thrawn needed different things for different situations.

In the Thrawn Trilogy he was working with a dying empire and needed a senior officer with experience he can shape up to get into a captain or admiral position and save the empire.

In the Thrawn novel Thrawn starts at the bottom and needs someone who can be good, but won't be missed. The empire is big but it's not his primary concern.

We don't know the context of when/where the woman saying "avenge our emperor." It could very well be Sloane after Endor.
