I'm excited for Snoke to be a gaudy king of bling.
If they make him a sort of evil Liberace on a solid gold star destroyer it'll certainly break up his visuals and make him less of a Palpatine clone. New is good.

Kylo keeps skyping him in the middle of the night to talk about his feelings.
Snoke is in his jammies, obviously cranky.

This is the great hope for TLJ.
Force Awakens confirmed to normies and OT-nostalgia purists that, yes, indeed, this is a Star Wars film. Beyond a shadow of a doubt. Now they've got them in the door they can take more risks and try new directions.

That's the hope, at least. Unless of course the studio has strong stipulations thet they stick to the path that JJ laid out.

>>91952677
Makes sense. I approve.

>>91952681

TLJ looks to be a lot more original and weird than TFA was, with everyone who worked on it (cast + crew) saying exactly that and spy pics of sets backing up that claim. It wasn't until the teaser trailer made it look like a ESB rehash that people did a 180 on it. Hopefully the theatrical trailer will show some of the new shit instead of just showing things you'd expect in a sequel to TFA

>>91952633

Why the fuck didn't they change it up a bit considering they likely factor in toy sales?

>>91953028
poe is just a pilot and finns jacket is a big part of his character

finn has a part where he rolls in a first order uniform jacket so that might be his new action figure look

>>91953028
Because Hasbro would have to spend more money.

Now I know the stormtroopers are not clones in current, finalized canon, but were they implied to be clones back in 1977, or am I just reaching?

>'Clone Wars' that were fought right before the Empire.
>All of them are left-handed, in spite of 90% of humanity being right-handed.
>"Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"
>Every stormtrooper that speaks has the exact same voice.

>>91952784
...Holy shit. Just when I was thinking how gullible I was.

>>91953066
Yes. The idea back then was that the Clone Wars were when the Jedi fought against anti-Republic clone Stormtroopers but Chancellor Palpatine secretly manipulated the conflict to the point that the Jedi went extinct and he unified the galaxy by allowing whoever the clones fought for to join his territory which was then reformed into the Empire with these clone Stormtroopers as its new soldiers instead of the Jedi.

>>91953066
they aren't all left handed, but you see them left handed more on the death star because none of the actors knew how to hold the guns properly and part of it kept clinking into their abdomens

real world armies have height requirements for conscription, for example Napoleon's life guards had to be all 6'2 or more or some such

and finally, there's about 6 distinct stormtrooper voices in ANH

>>91953066
>>91953163
Forgot to add that Lando was supposed to be a clone (hinted at by his 'Battle of Tanaab' comment) until the prequels were made. The EU never really caught into this but Lucas intended for him to be a clone while making the OT.

>>91953112
if you're implying its bullshit MSW has been spot on for TLJ so far

>>91953112
>MSW got some stuff wrong for TFA (stuff that was supposed to be in the movie but was cut but anyways) so that means they're automatically wrong about every leak (even though they ended up knowing the entire plot of TFA and had proof of insider document leaks)!

>>91953163
Got a link to this kind of stuff? It's pretty cool to hear what it could have been before the prequels.

I get the feeling that Lando defended his home planet (or maybe his family's lucrative business) from the Separatists during the Clone Wars and that's going to be the Battle of Tanaab explanation. That or it's some battle against pirates or something in the Han Solo movie.

Rey is still shit. I'm done paying hollywood to force political opinions down my throat.

Women are not strong
Women are not heroes
Women are not determined or inspiring

They are verifiably, factually and demonstrably less intelligent, less inspired, less ingenious and less capable than men in almost every field. I am not now nor will I ever swallow the feminist pill of equality because the two genders very simply are not equal.

That is why I didn't like it. Because Rey was the protagonist. I don't want that, I don't need that and I have had enough of Star Wars in my life if that's the way the franchise is going.

>>91954453
I have been told otherwise by about 80% of people.

Also I'm already halfway through Clone Wars season 1 and I am interested in Ahsoka's arc so I am going to continue it.

TFA, even with its nostalgia wank, was moving forward.

RO, probably the better movie, is ultimately a narrative deadend for star wars. It's filling in a blank space on the map.

I love both though.

TFA imo. I get a lot of people's criticisms of it and some of them I agree with but I still find it super enjoyable and liked pretty much all of the new characters save for Phasma and Hux. Rogue One on the other hand just felt like too much worldbuilding and lacked any interesting characters outside of Krennic.

I don't think they're really comparable though, they're two completely different movies. TFA would make sense to compare to TLJ but obviously it's not out yet so

>>91955344
I'm going to guess that the real number is closer to 5 dicksuckings and 3 sexual partners but I wouldn't doubt it if both numbers were closer to 2-3.

>>91953897
We still don't know how much of the ST fuckery was really JJ's fault vs. how much of it was thrust upon the creative team by Disney execs who desperately wanted a remake of ANH no matter the cost to the universe.

i.e. was Mothma's horribly out-of-character retarded-ass decision to cancel the military that was obviously contrived to let the First Order come to power so they can be important in Episode VII necessitated by JJ wanting to do rebels vs. empire again, or by Disney wanting rebels vs. empire again, or - perhaps - some combination of both?

Pull an inverse-Empire twist and have Rey think Luke is her father, but it turns out he actually killed her father.

Like her dad was some dark side dude and Luke beat him in a duel, and then her deadbeat mom dumped her on Jakku and traded her for cash and a ship so she could fuck off in peace.

Bonus points if Luke returns from defeating Rey's dad only to find Kylo attacked the Jedi Temple during his absence.

Oddly enough, Filoni made that mistake too which is why Yularen was an admiral in TCW.

Hi this is halfwaythroughS1ofCloneWars-anon again.

So why are all of the clones so distinct? They're all from the same genetic template and raised in similar fashions. Couple the two and they should all have the same tastes and ideals. Why are they all pretty different from each other?

>>91956592
then what happened to wulf and where was he during ROTJ

>>91956620
That's not a mistake at all. Yularen was an Admiral in the Republic Navy. He then changed branches and went into the Imperial Security Bureau, and the rank did not carry over.

>>91956631
Are you daft or something? He became stardust.

>>91956629
They're human, and clones aren't exact perfect copies. We don't need 100 more sheev's running around

>>91956631
blowed up on the Death Star I'm assuming

>>91956629

I'd argue that it has to do with Jango's independent streak and it's a comment on nature versus nurture.

My more serious 'how I would do it if I was in charge' answer is: 'shinies' should basically be the same, but once they get to the field the inevitability of different experience should change them.

>>91956631
he died on the death star like everybody else except Tagge and Vader.

>>91956629
That's the point. Its supposed to be ironic to show that even though Palpatine wanted an army of unquestioning drones the Jedi encouraged them to be their own people which makes Order 66 even more tragic when they turn on people who have become their friends because of chips in their heads.

>>91956647
That's the explanation now, though. Filoni said before he thought Yularen was a grand admiral by the time of ANH, and imagined him as someone who had risen along the ranks alongside Anakin and later Vader.

I'm assuming that Kylo and Rey are related, but is there anything in the novels that hint that Leia and Han had two kids and one of them "died"?

>>91956708
No. So far they've been pretty consistent on Han and Leia having only one kid.

>>91956708

Faggot who read the Force Awakens novel: nothing hints to her being related to Han and Leia as far as I can see.

>>91956708
It would be a total asspull out of nowhere. I don't care about 'muh poetry' it'd make me drop the PT

>>91956708
Nothing in the TFA novel or in Bloodline hints at them having another child at any point.

>>91956708
If they are related, it's extremely unlikely that they're siblings.

>>91952112
>tfw she'll never shoot you to death and then piss all over your corpse

Luke and Guardians of the Galaxy when?

Han and Deadpool when?

Vader and Venom when?

Would The Force Awakens benefit or suffer if they had kept the "Kylo Ren is Han and Leia's son" twist until when Han and Ben are on the catwalk?

I guess it would be weird that Han really wants to fucking talk to Kylo for the entire movie if they hadn't put it all on the table.

>>91956845
it should have been destroyed with Han and Chewie going out in a blaze of glory in it.

Now they're in an awkward position where Chewie doesn't have a co-pilot and killing Chewie/the Falcon at this poitn would piss so many people off.

I don't even know what they can even do with Chewie's character now I think about it. I remember reading some leak that Chewie was going to have an emotional scene with the puffins on Ach-to and he'd sort of return to his roots of living in nature, which actually sounds really nice imo, but who knows if it's true. Sure beats getting crushed to death by a moon.

>The B-wing fighter was originally designed by Joe Johnston and Bill George for Return of the Jedi.

Bill George had so much input into the starship's development, that his colleagues nicknamed it the "Bill-Wing Fighter".[11] Years later in Star Wars Legends the name "Blade wing" was devised as an in-universe nickname, which was canonized by the Star Wars Rebels production team.[12]

Probably only for the ST trilogy. By Episode X even with regular maintenance that thing will be pretty worn down. Plus it will probably be an "investigate on sight" status for any agents of the antagonists of the next trilogy. And lastly that model will probably be out of circulation from corellia motors or whatnot. That will make it easier to spot and make maintenance harder.

I know a lot of people complain about Mary Sues in the new canon, but all I had to read was the opening quote and first paragraph of an EU character's Wook article to learn that the EU wasn't devoid of Mary Sues either.

>"She was the strongest of us all, and for a brief moment, I could feel how strong. I suspect she would have lived forever, if not for this one sacrifice."
―Obi-Wan Kenobi[src]

>Fay was a centuries-old, female near-Human Jedi Master who was known to have had an intensely strong connection with the Force which allowed her to retain a youthful appearance. She was one of several legendary wandering Jedi Masters whose exploits were known throughout the Jedi Order.

>>91968421
>Among all the species who encountered her, Fay was regarded as a striking woman,[2] and Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn once described her as "beautiful and ageless" after an encounter with the Jedi Master. Following the mission to Queyta, Obi-Wan Kenobi commented that no one hated Master Fay, and that throughout her entire Jedi career she never felt the need to use a lightsaber in combat.[1] For many centuries, she roamed the galaxy while being guided by the Force—the physical presence of her personality, combined with her wisdom in the Force, allowed Fay the opportunity to bring peace and harmony to many war-torn planets she encountered.[2]

>Fay was distinguished by her pale skin, blond hair, and her pointy ears which resembled those of the Sephi. She also had distinctive tattoos on her left cheek and forehead. Due to her deep connection with the Force, Fay's physical body was ageless, and she appeared to be a beautiful twenty-year-old almost her entire life.[2]

>>91972812
I almost always agree with the George/Filoni way of doing Star Wars but that is one where they just dropped the ball

He was much cooler as a feared jedi-slayer who had his own personal reasons for fighting the Republic. Sometimes a character has such a cool design that you run the risk of ruining them by having them talk too much or explaining too much about them. I feel like they did that with Grievous with TCW. The need for a recurring villain with a lightsaber who wasn't Dooku got filled by Grievous too much when he should have just been kept as a kind of unknown menace.

Spinning 4 lightsabers around is cool at first until you're 5 seasons in and it's barely even wounded anybody and people treat it like "oh there's that damn Grievous again what a bother"

The one cool thing I'm surprised they did was staying consistent with the fact that Anakin doesn't meet Grievous until Ep 3

Snoke wears a gold Kimono and has personal power rangers guarding him. His base is a flying-wing shaped craft that's described as a mobile city
A few other things about Luke and Rey but nothing substantial beyond what you probably already know

Del Toro's character also has a ship that's described as having a very sleek and luxurious interior

>>91973107
True, but that can be said for 99% of ancillary material. What is wrong with going sideways, broadening our understanding of the core story and the universe it is set in?

Even if you are not interested in worldbuilding, RO still directly strenghtens ANH by emphasizing the Alliance's desperate position, the weight and importance of the mission Luke finds himself to be a part of and the threat of the Death Star. So it still adds to the Saga.

I don't know. As a fan, it's a given that my perspective on Rogue One, or Star Wars as a whole, is fundamentally different from the general audience's. That's inevitable. I just wish they weren't so dismissive of Rogue One's efforts to showcase more of the existing universe. Oh, it's just fanservice, you want to see AT-STs and Bail Organa, because you've seen them before. No, it's much more than that, RO's work goes way beyond that. The fanservice criticism I've seen leveled at RO is too often superficial, patronizing and ill-informed.

>>91953163
>>91953354
In retrospect, what I find oddest about those pre-ep.1 years was the nature of the emperor.

From what I remember, there was no link between palpatine and the sith at all. Basically, he was treated as this dark force user that basically popped out of nowhere, oh, and he was "president" of the republic senate.

It was mentioned that he collected sith (and jedi) artifacts, and that I believe in the Dark Empire comics he was dabbling in old sith alchemy and all that, but there was no definite link.

Always kinda bothered me. Also, from the little blurbs for the redglow 90's kenner action figures, to the old encyclopedia, to the first "essential guide to characters", Vader's affiliation was: "Dark Lord of the Sith", but the emperor's was never mentioned.

Never explained how Anakin Skywalker became affiliated with the Sith, though the whole great sith war and old jedi order was explained in those wonderul old comics. That title was never explained.

Basically, you had the stuff in the glorious ancient past where the hyperspace routes hadn't all been mapped out yet with a massive sith empire, then you had those epic wars with the jedi and the early republic, and then fucking nothing for thousands of years until "Darth Vader: Dark lord of the what".

Never explained. I mean, come the prequels it was the most fucking obvious thing in the world to make palpatine a secret remnant sith, but it wasn't something stated anywhere. He was just some fucking guy powerful in the dark side of the force.

>>91973216

lol, also when I heard this exchange watching ep1. for the first time:
>Quigon: My only conclusion can be that it was a Sith Lord.
>Kiadimundi: Impossible! The Sith have been extinct for a millennium.
>Windu: I do not believe the Sith could have returned without us knowing.

I was creaming my pants (well, still shot blanks then but whatever). I was thinking: "what, are we fucking doing this for real!? They're pulling the Sith properly into fucking canon?"

It was a more mysterious era.
IIRC there wasn't a monolithic type Jedi Order, per se; I got the sense that they seemed to be more like wandering samurai types, at least early on, and there was certainly no codified apprentice system.

Also, some of the hilariously outlandish theories as to Darth Sidious' true identity were funny, I mean, it was so strongly hinted to be palpatine, but there was room for doubt as they never actually showed his face.

Weirdest fucking things people came up with, including ideas of blood transfusions from the chosen one able to make someone more powerful in the force, or to actually MAKE some otherwise not forcesensitive into someone able to manipulate it. Fucking midiclorians shit.

Pre-midiclorians, there wasn't really a way to measure force sensitivity.
There was only one incident in the Young Jedi Knights books where a Nightsister uses some kind of scanner on Zekk to check is potential for using the dark side, but that's all that comes to mind.

>>91973268
>What is wrong with going sideways, broadening our understanding of the core story and the universe it is set in?
Absolutely nothing. Rogue One is actually my personal favorite SW movie. But he's right to call it a narrative dead-end, though I think he just meant to say "self contained story".

It doesn't change anything about what we already know, it just informs and enriches it. Some people like that some don't. It's not a story that needed to be told but I really liked it.

>>91973268
>Oh, it's just fanservice, you want to see AT-STs
That AT-ST meme pisses me off because it's such a dumb complaint. How dare the Empire use ANH-era equipment a few days before ANH. What horrible pandering.

>>91973488
People should understand that Star Wars (and Lucasfilm) loves to enrich their universe this way.

Almost every piece of media in the franchise ever made has served only to fill in the gaps, and enrich the world and characters.

You want to know the three exceptions, at least in Canon? ESB, ROTJ and TFA. That's it. Everything else has released out of chronological order with little way in affecting the future of the main saga.

People who complain about something (be it RO, Rebels, TCW, comics, Prequels, ect) not being important or necessary because "we already know how the main story ends" simply do not understand Star Wars, and should find something else to follow.

>>91973540
Yeah again we agree completely. The allure is the world, not the main OT storyline forever and ever. I love Luke as much as the next anon but it's such a larger setting than that.

At the same time though, it's good that casual fans can just watch the mainline films and feel like they get it while there is all this peripheral material for other-minded fans to enjoy. They've done a good job of making sure nothing hurts anything else, at least.

I never like to say somebody "isn't a true fan" just because they aren't as autistic about it as me, but I question how much people who didn't like Rogue One actually like Star Wars.

that shot where the death star crests over the clouds in the best shot in the entire fucking series

So how are they changing the trooper helmets?

>>91973613
Flatter front/face plate is the biggest change, it looks less like a bill now

>>91973632
Even looking at them side by side it's such a slight difference. Nobody will notice. They do look better now though.

>>91973649
Watch it be a new version that filters toxins as well as smoke.

>>91973649
I think that was the idea, make them look better so subtly the average movie goer won't notice the difference
I really hope they've done something similar with the Resistance guns. The G-36 knock offs they were using were terrible looking props, nowhere near Star Wars enough

>>91973664
There were similar changes in the OT with things like Vader's costume etc.
It's perfectly acceptable

>>91973708
More comparable are the OT Stormtroopers which were similarly changed

I'm excited to see this futuristic "modern" looking ship Del Toro apparently has. Aside from the Quad-Jumper we haven't really seen many new-ear ships. They should have taken the quad jumper and have the falcon blow up, that would have been risky but cooler.

>>91973719
See, for years I never noticed that the Stormtroopers changed at all in the OT. Nobody else will either.

>>91973742
I love ships that are like 90% engine.The cockpit could be a bit different though, something lacks to make it proper comfy.

>should've blown up the Falcon
Wouldn't even mind.

>>91973769
It looks to me like if you took it apart it would make a really sweet pod racer

>>91973742
Its been over a year and there are still people bitching about killing off Han
If they'd blown up the Falcon as well fans would have flipped their shit, and not in the fun way
And, as convenient a save as it was, them taking the Falcon was the best way to justify Han picking them up

>>91973813
Honestly when I first saw it I thought it was a pod racer, or at least a heavy lift hauler for salvaging stuff
Even as a spaceship its starkly industrial compared to the flying home that the Falcon is

>>91973815
Nobody I know cared that Han died, and a lot of my friends are your typical casual Marvel star wars fans. They saw it coming a mile away and it's like "oh no that sucks" but they don't really care.

Blowing up the Falcon would have been easy to do too, they're probably saving that for later. Though I also wouldn't mind if it somehow survives the ST and ends up in the hands of a complete nobody.

>>91973742
>>91973769
B- But if we blow up the falcon then we won't get the "Chewie we're home" shot. And we desperatly need it for that sweet nostalgia marketing campaign.

>>91973833
> a heavy lift hauler for salvaging stuff
Good eye, that's actually exactly what it is

>The quadrijet transfer spacetug was a model of spacetug manufactured by Subpro for use in orbital transfer yards. The vessels used magnetic clamps to attach themselves to the undersides of cargo containers and then quickly move them around within the yards using their four large thrusters.

It really would have worked as a new Falcon

>>91973851
Ah so its exactly what I thought it was, but for space work instead of flying around Jakku slicing stuff off Star Destroyers
>>91973849
You're not wrong. People needed to see Disney treating the license with respect, sadly that got muddled into "kid gloves" for a lot of the iconic aspects of the series

>>91973879
I know it's considered edgy to want it, but Star Wars without the kid gloves has so much potential. There are so many things they can never explore in the main series because it has to appeal to all ages and sometimes that really feels like a waste.

>>91973849
It would have been way cooler to have them get scooped up in space by Han and casually mention the falcon got blown up and have him get pissed about it.

>>91973919
Adding on - then he could call their new ship a hunk of junk. There's your pottery.

>>91973270
>From what I remember, there was no link between palpatine and the sith at all. Basically, he was treated as this dark force user that basically popped out of nowhere, oh, and he was "president" of the republic senate.
I remember in Truce of Bakura an Imperial says something along the lines that the Emperor should have never trusted a Sith Lord like Vader or something like that.
>Basically, you had the stuff in the glorious ancient past where the hyperspace routes hadn't all been mapped out yet with a massive sith empire, then you had those epic wars with the jedi and the early republic, and then fucking nothing for thousands of years until "Darth Vader: Dark lord of the what".
When Lucas allowed an expanded universe to be created, he decided that new stories were only allowed to take place after RotJ. That way, they wouldn't conflict with his Prequels. Tales of the Jedi was an exception because it took place so long before the movies. Almost anyone who created pre-Empire lore in post-RotJ stories got bit in the ass when the new movies came out.

>>91973849
They could have used "the garbage will do!" shot to tease the Falcon

Then it's like the falcon dies early and han dies later.

Bodhi Rook. Cargo pilot. Local boy, huh?

Have they explained yet why busting Scarf's shield gate caused a total collapse of the whole planetary shields? That seems like a pretty huge design flaw, especially since planetary Shields are usually projected from the ground and are nearly impregnable unless you bring a whole fleet of ISDs with you.

>>91952633
Pimp Snoke would have been a better use for Max von Sydow.

>>91974217
Maybe it was old tech and only dedicated to Scarif as a kind of token defense? They clearly never thought it was possible to attack it.

>>91954741
That's a nice edit, really earning your shekels, (((Anon))).

>>91973986
>Almost anyone who created pre-Empire lore in post-RotJ stories got bit in the ass when the new movies came out.
Figured as much.
Would be interesting to see what sanctioned writers might have come up with that has been locked away ever since, like their take on what the clones wars were etc.

>I remember in Truce of Bakura an Imperial says something along the lines that the Emperor should have never trusted a Sith Lord like Vader or something like that.
It rings a bell, either it was the imperial governor that sent the distress beacon in the first place or it was Pter Thanas, the imperial captain.

>>91959437
A loyal fighting man who's very, very good with laspistols. Now report for non-judicial torture before I have to write you up.

>>91953354
>>91953066
You can read the Thrawn Trilogy for some glimpses of what they were willing to theorise about the Clone Wars and the rise of the Empire. As I recall the slide of the Republic into the Empire was not directly attributed as being a result of the Clone Wars, the war was between the Republic and an army of mentally unstable clones attempting to conquer the galaxy, and the war was so horrific that the mere reveal that a certain character is a clone is enough to give Captain Pellaeon PTSD flashbacks and demand to know why this thing was allowed aboard his ship.

>>91974361
Additionally, since the idea of what a Sith was (aside from Vader being one) wasn't clear until the prequels, the EU before then only ever talked about Dark Jedi, never Sith.

>>91974217
I think it was the combination of attacking the gate and dropping a Star Destroyer through it
A gate is always the weakest point of any wall, and ramming something the size of an ISD right into that weakest point stressed the shield beyond its limits

>>91969116
That's pretty much what the original Mary Sue does. Was Obi-Wan super sad about it?

>>91973905
So long as it turns up every now and again in the wider material I really don't mind all that much. I mean, the protagonist from Twilight Company's sheer overwhelming cynicism towards the Rebellion was a breath of fresh air, but I think it would be a bit too grim for a mainstream movie
Still, the trailer for TLJ has got my hopes up for a slightly more mature approach in the movies. Luke seeming to realize that the Jedi fell for reasons greater than just Anakin holds a lot of promise I really hope they don't screw up

>>91974425
As I recall she dies by lending Obi-Wan power through the Force to make a leap to safety, which condemned her to die. Obi-Wan was crying as she basically flung him with the Force because he could feel her all loving connection to the universe or something
It was pretty damn Mary Sue

>>91974426
What has my spirits high for TLJ is that Mark Hamill seems very happy with it. Everybody involved has this energy about them like "oh this movie is way better than the last one"

I feel like they're confident in TLJ and I don't think it's going to disappoint

TFA was like getting stitches. It needed to be done but we're beyond that now

>>91974393
The idea of a shield gate in the first place seems to be something that they invented so that this movie could work, because I don't recall a shield gate being in Return of the Jedi, and they were never mentioned in Legends either, a hole was just opened up from ground control to allow people through.

poor little Jedi

>>91974217
Haven't seen anything but I have no problem with the presence of a gate introducing a weakness. But if you do need to get ships in and out while running the shield 24/7 to keep any assholes with a Mega Maid from stealing your atmosphere you'll just have to deal.

>>91974456
Functionally the shield gate is the same idea, just with a distinct space side port of entry that checks for authorization before allowing shuttles through, as well as hangar space for TIEs to intercept.

>>91974387
Dark Empire (Veitch), The Jedi Academy trilogy (Anderson) and Tales of Jedi (Veitch and Anderson) were the primary source for Jedi and Sith lore back in the day. Funky stuff in retrospective. There was also this whole thing about how Noghri were supposed to be Sith that Lucas shot down.

>>91974456
Planetary shields have shown up here and there but I can't remember exactly when just trust me. There was a precedent for the Scarif shield, it was not out of universe in any way.

Didn't even Naboo have a fucking shield they had to get past first to blockade it?

>>91974387
No that is not true. You first see Sith Lords in the TOTJ comics. And that predates the prequels. In fact those ideas about the nature of the Sith leave a longer impression on the canon until everything is rebooted. Dark Jedi are more provenance of the novels and rpg related material.

>>91974499
>Planetary shields have shown up here and there but I can't remember exactly when just trust me.
In the EU they were practically everywhere, they just didn't have shield gates embedded in them.

I'm pretty sure their only appearances in the movies were in TFA and RO.

>Didn't even Naboo have a fucking shield they had to get past first to blockade it?
Nope. They just showed up and blockaded the planet.

At least back during the production of the OT trilogy as this article shows.

>>91974539
>I'm pretty sure their only appearances in the movies were in TFA and RO.
Also ROTJ, if you consider the Death Star 2 to be a very small planet.

>>91974486
I kinda hoped for a SS cosplayer.

>>91974539
Wow Naboo really sucked then

They had nice fighters but that's about IT

>>91968792
Because elves are lewd.

Barriss conscripts you, a Jedi, to help with bombing the Jedi Temple. For whatever reason, you choose to go along with it instead of killing her or turning her in. How do you alter or improve the plan to cause more damage, chaos, and to improve the transmission of how your peaceful views are the right answer?

>>91974539

The real issue is that after Naboo is blockaded they don't even militarize.

Jesus christ, you get invaded once and you don't think 'aw jeez rick, maybe I ought to build a private fleet?'

>>91974842
Have victory sex after the bombing. Perfect plan achieved.

>>91974855
Naboo is a big believer in its principles and values, abandoning them after one invasion would be immensely hypocritical
That and asking a government to start spending millions or more on something that Naboo isn't likely to ever use is going to be a tough sell

???????

And someone (>>91974441) DID reply to further explain how she was a Mary Sue, so get fucked.

>>91974578
That magazine was pure fan speculation. That article is literally a piece of fanfiction written by some scifi buff and submitted to the magazine as a plausible backstory. Indeed, that would be one of the very first pieces of EU material ever.

>>91974906

Maybe Atris was right all along.

>>91975151
Blockaded and invaded once, and over a deliberate act of aggression that a stronger Senate and Jedi Order of years past would have nipped in the bud within a week
Overturning centuries of pacifism and minimal defense spending in the face of one isolated incident isn't the correct response

>>91974495
>There was also this whole thing about how Noghri were supposed to be Sith that Lucas shot down.
Interesting. I'd be alright if the noghri were recanonized as sith alchemical creations rather than a proper race that was fucked over by Imperial ecocide

>>91975311
I never could figure out Atris, even after multiple playthroughs. She just always seems like a jaded ex girlfriend.

>>91975444

To be fair, in the beginning well before the series starts, she's bringing in 'Austerity' measures to prevent more Exar Kun bullshit.

After the war's over, she's already watched that her policies basically did nothing good AND the Exile, who she admired, didn't even have the 'decency' to beg for forgiveness.

When I first watched it I assumed the Emperor simply dabbled in the dark side and used it to further his position and wipe out the Jedi. Never thought he was part of an ancient cult dedicated to destroy the Jedi.

>>91974361
Now I wish I had the unaltered trilogy to marathon it along with reading the Thrawn trilogy as a random personal headcanon.

>>91969116
Having a bold sacrifice/dying so they are remembered and mourned is one of the defining traits of a Mary Sue.

>>91968421
>>91968512
Since you didnt actually read the fucking comic she appears in, she is a one shot character who is supposed to embody the mystical side of the Force, and the Jedis monastic, wandering Samurai diplomat role. She dies in the story to show that all her accomplishments are fleeting but the impression she's made on people are what she'll be remembered for. As great as she is, she's not above death, even for a greater cause.

Tldr it's a well done one shot comic you obviously haven't read, fuck off

>>91975468
Yeah but it just always felt weird. I'm an amensiac, I don't know what the fuck Atris' problem is with me. Even if I remember later it's still not the same. She just kind of seemed like a cunt that wasn't acting much like a jedi at all.

>>91975571

Oh, she wasn't, by that point.

Basically, Atris fell off of the Jedi wagon about around the point where the Exile came back to face her trial and instead of bowing before them and groveling for forgiveness, she stood 'in defiance'.

>>91975095
It was not. The magazine in question was also one of the first to describe Vader's disfigurement due to a duel with Obi-Wan over a volcano (the unused backstory used in the ROTJ) so the info there clearly had some access to George Lucas and is certainly not fan fiction unless you think Lucas cribbed from that magazine.

>>91975625
But it's so frustrating because the game implies that she wants your dick but you have no reason to have any attachment to Atris at all. It's a weird choice.
